| lean victory But there was a bril-
liant spot or two on the American
side of the fence. Sticking out in col
lossal form was Larry Waterbury,
who not only played his own position
of back well, but he did his best to be
time. OF course, Larry couldn't do
that, but he made it very interesting
at times for his worthy opponents. He
was never to be denied and he dashed
into the play and out of it whenever
the occasion presented. He was ably
assisted at times by Monte Water
bury, the captain of the team, but
Larry was the one who did the most
work and the better work

The score of S12 points TO must be
taken as a most decisive beating, and
it is difficult to figure how We are
going to overcome such a difference
in the next game. The luck of the
game, naturally, was with the Eng
lishmen. for the luck, we observed is
invariably with the winner. Some
times the breaks" were SO favorable
that we were robbed of a score only
to have the English profit Immediate
comes right down to sitting the luck
of the game it will be found that it
was the superior class of play that
brought the Britons victory. AS to
the individual scores. Captain Lock
EFT led with five to his credit and
Tomkinson had three and Cheape
two. OF the Americans Monte Water
bury secured two goals and La Mon
tagne one and Larry Waterbury one
In all fourteen goals were scored, of
which the English made ten and the
Americans made four. The English
suffered IL points through penalties,
one point on fouls called and /: point
on two safeties by Lockett.

As the game was PLAYED by far the
better team won. If we are able TO
defeat the English tomorrow it will
be a form reversal of the worst or
der The English look like winners
from this distance. but polo, in way,
is like baseball. and q change in the
Yankee team may work wonders. We
are still hopeful, despite the gloomy
outlook. Larry Waterbury showed us
a lot of eameness and Harry Whitney
has given the whole team "bawlinS
out" for the ragged play. Maybe the
Yankees will come back and upset
the trend of opinion. If 50 they'll
have to play a mighty fast game of
polo to do it.
Walter Rutt was a "weltmeister'
in earnest at the Nelodrome yester-
dav afternoon, and the manner In
which he defeated Champion Frank
Kramer in the final of the one-mile
national title race is evidence that
Orchard is himself again" Rutt was
a marvel of speed and his perfor-
mances throughout the afternoon arc
worthy of the highest commendation.
True. he caught Kramer for a
"sleeper" in the championship, but
Kramer has been champion for
some thirteen years and there is no
good excuse why he should not be
awake, especially when a title is at
stake. That Kramer was asleep at
4 hi
jump no one we'll can deny, but
that Rutt showed SO much speed that
Kramer was beaten by open day
light, an evidence that Walter must
is also an open book. How Rutt
would have Jared if Kramer was wide
awake it is hard to tell, but | would
like to see the man who has more
speed than "Weltmeister" Rutt pro-
duccd yesterday,
g
Rutt was not blessed with the best
position. by any means, when it came
racing time, He was third, with Al
fred Goulet in the lead and Kramer
second. Up TO this point, and at this
particular point it looked as If
Kramer was not a bit uufriendly 10
Goullet, but know that they had no
understanding in the race. Goullet
was in front, aud Kramer would have
been well satisfied to have him re-
main in front until the time came for
the odd Master to take command.
In that case, Kramer, il the angle
permitted would have sort of essed
off Goulet and allowed Alfred, who
is great, game rider, to come in
second. That would have been known
in cycling as protecting rider who
had tried his best to win, but
who would be delighted with second.
But such was not to be the case, for
down came mean old Rutt and upset
everything right in kramer's lap.
The "Weltmeister,' without even tell
ing Kramer he was coming, shot by
the American champion and set sail
for the tape. Goullet, seeing Rutt
coming, tried to head him off, but
"Goullie' didn't have the speed. Then
Kramer set sail for Rutt, but the
"Old Master could hardly gain an
inch. Rutt was certainly flying, and
Kramer, realizing that he was beaten,
set out to protect second place. from
Goullet and Bob Spears, who should
have been on Rutt's wheel and been
what Rutt did about an instant be-
fore. Spears, however, hates to race
from the front, but after he realizes
the opportunities he is losing he will
nroba blv get wise to himself He
