ing score, the balance in our favor
being only quarter Of goal. The
count was very close all the way
through and thera was never a mo
ment when goal by either side might
not have turned the tide of the match.
II was a wonderful performance for
our men. for they have fairly met and
beaten the best team that England
could select, mounted ON the best po-
MES at her command.
AS for the match itself. every period
OF II was exciting. but che polo was
not as good as that seen on Tuesday.
There was more missing by both sides
and the ability shown by the Ameri-
ran team on Tuesday In taking adj
vantage of every opportunity was not
as marked.

First Period.
The first period opened with even

back, but the play quickly changed.

At the end of the period Waterbury
had very difficult near-side shot at
the English goal, the ball having been
carroted up by Stoddard from long
back stroke by Milburn. The period
ended with the score one to nothing,
in favor of England.
Second Period.
On the throw in at the beginning
of the second period Cheape got away
and missed, and a moment later, after

and again missed. Waterbury, after
: throw-in, carried the ball the length
of the field, but Milburn missed. That
is practically the history of the en-.

runs for both sides, always with the

America Strikes Stride.
In the fourth period the American
team struck its stride, and for the
first time during the match outplayed
