Uphill Game.

WesTPCRY, l.. l.. May 1l.--Amertcae
International polo team had u narrow es-
cape from losing the services Of its cap
TAIN Monte waterbury, in an accident
which happened to-day In the first practice
game held on Long Island soil since the
cup defenders began preparing for the
more or less uncertain Invasion OF the
birmingham team.
In q match that was far more vigorous
than any played so far the candidates ex-
tended themselves TO the utmost on the
field OF J. s. Phipps to-day and the whole
contest savored more Of an international
fray than mere workout to see who
should carry the colors of the United
States In the contest against England
From the first tap Of the gong the ponies
were driven at top speed, which was made
possible by the firm footing which did not
obtain Mt Lakewood In the early stages OF
the training season.
Ponies twisted and turned with daEziinR
rapidity and II was in an effort to wheel
his mount in the smallest possible space
that Monte Waterbury came to grief. Inc
accident happened two seconds after tne
bell had rung for the beginning or the
fifth period The red players were max
ing a swift attack and In the enort 10
turn the bali Waterbury turned no quickly
that he and the pony fell In heap. For
moment the player was underneath nus
mount, but the instinct of the polo pony In
a.
both pony and man were on their rect
almost before the spectators realized that
an accident had happened.
Waterbury walked across the field un-
aided, but nursing an injured right arm
from which the skin had been torn IN me
fall. He was followed by Harry Payne
whitney, who though not referee In the
match was directing the play OF the can
didates A halt was called for ten minutes
while the captains arm was bandas.d,
and IL anything the accident seemed 20
spur him on to greater EFFORTS. Al tne
| time that Waterbury came n cropper inc
Reds were pressing the Big Three hard
The score M tho end of the fourth period
was IL, goals to y against the whites
which had the international timber IN its
makeur After the ten minutes interval
accustomed by the mlshap TO the captain
| the Whites were driven harder IMAM ever
and goals followed In quick succession
until the fral tally was 90 W ~ I"
