TEAMS
TIED AT END
OF CONTEST
Scores Made by Each
Team in Game Played in
Front of Grand Stand.

After a thrilling and exciting game
jim which up until the last minute it
looked as if the English team would
win, the Americans tied the English
in the second of the auto polo games,
s~taged~at the Fair last night.
The game started with a bang.
Eddie Buchanan, mallet man for the
Britishers, got a fine wallop at the
ball in the run-off, and took it nearly
to the goal with one stroke. The
Americans Of course immediately
made chase, and then started a
heavy battle near the American goal,
in which both teams did some clever
work. The ball was soon in the mid
die again, and after hard fighting, the
flag went up for the end Of the period,
with neither side scoring. The first
that characterize Hankinson's auto
polo. In the first few minutes of play
one a broke a matchmaking a
sharp turn in front Of the grand stand,
turning over the car and throwing the
occupants several yards. Cars had to
be changed several times during this
period because Of motor trouble.
IN the second period the men were
on the jump from the start. The
Britishers seemed to be a little the
better of the two during this period,

ball through the goal for their first
score. When again the ball went
into play, the Americans were
loaded" Banging and swinging into
action, they kept the spectators
breathless from the start. Time and
again the British men had the ball at
the American goal, only to have the
latter team rush into action and take
it back. Soon after one a had
jumped atop of the other, hurting
nothing but the time of the game, the
time flag was waved.
The thifd and last was also the
fastest Of the three periods. From
the first tap at the ball until the game
was finished, the crowd was ION its
toes" every minute. The English
men took a fine take-off, and won>the
first point, with the prospect OF
getting swamped in view, the Amer
away, Iverson did some daredevil
driving, the while Hill made some OF
the finest shots made either day,
After running into the fence several
times, and breaking down part of the
vaudeville section when the car came
together in a mad rush for the ball,
the Americans retaliated, and put the
ball o the goal. With only a few
minutes to play the men went at each
other wildly. Across the front of the
American a would run the British,
or vice versa, down the track went the
ball, with both cars in close pursuit
Crashing, together as they neared the
ball., the men fought until the last
minute of the game, when the Amer
leans again put the ball acrpss, tieine
their opponents. Hardly had they
done SO when the time flag dropped
closing one of the most exciting
games shown here. !

STAR OF RACES
AT'THE TRACK
Makes Best Time in Second
Heat, and Takes First
Money.

The feature Of yesterdays races at
the Grand Forks fair was the pacing
of symbol-Barron, owned by G. L.
Butler, Sank Center, MINI. Not only
did this horse AXE first one in the
2:14 pace, but he hung up the best
mark made so far this week-2:14
Id. In the first, he got a bad start,
and after trailing nearly all the way,
managed to finish in fourth position.
He then tool first in the remaining
three heats. Mischief, owned by A. L.
Piggott, of Winnipeg, Man, was a
hard horse to beat, as her long strides
ate up the ground in a surprising
manner, and had the ADVANTAGE of. the
pole. Mischief took the first heat, and
second in the others.
Perhaps the prettiest race of the
afternoon was in the second heat of
this race, when Symbol-Barron over

and crossed the line but a few feet
ahead of Mischief. Bob White, owned
by B. Morrison, Glencoe, Mimi, took
second place. in the first heat, but was
unable to repeat. finally finishing up
with fourth money. Bessie Winfield,
O. D. Harris, Plymouth, Ill. finally
won third money, though she only
took fifth and fourth in>the first W.
heats.
= After the first three heats had been
run, the four entries who were out Of
the money were not allowed to race.
SO the remaining field had the track
to themselves. In this last run, Sym
bol-Barron took an early lead, string
ing out way ahead. But Mischief, not
out. slowly crept up, and at the finish
was but a yard or so behind.
The 1922 pace was an exciting and
well-run race, though there were but
four entries. They got away in'good
done. The finish in each of the three
heats was the same. Geo. Durvia,
owned by Brown, Mapleton, N. D.,
took first money, Veda Stern, L.
Downey. Wimbledon, N. D., was, sec
ond, Mike Americas, DR.. Mcclure,
on Wizard, II. L. Richardson, Bow
bells, N. D., was fourth.
The track was in better condition
than on Tuesday, but a high wind
made faster time impossible. Today's
program includes the 1925 pace, and
the 2:17 trot. A large crowd is ex-
pected for these events, as rivalry is
keen.
