;serni-final round of the tournament.
q All-Ireland. on handicap basis, is
- higher rated team than the Hartman
.four. but though the Irishmen kept q
Head carly in the game they lost 1t in
sRhe third period. and we're outplayed
ishe rest Of the way. Good polo, Of
course, was virtually impossible on a
fed so cuppy and soft that sitting
ball was often alomst hidden from
sight, when a we'll executed shot was
as liable to 70 sideways as forwarded
AZ all. Orange County won because IT
saved a greater amount of team organ
tszatfon out of the demoralizing circum-
stances, and because Rumsey and
Stevenson showed themselves to be the
4wo best players on the field.
s Hartman, it is true, was the high
scorer, but his taliies were almost all
:snae possible by the work of his No. 2
land No. 8. Trench and Douglas, for the
Irish. were noticeable for their rela-
ssively close following of the ball, and
! because they showed Il better game
sthan one had been led to expect of
them were mo9e prominent than their
more experienced teammates.
Z The ball was thrown in at 1888 a.
t;yn.. with Orange County taking the
s1initiative Both sides were slow In
.ainbering up. At length the Irish ex-
;ltricated the ball from TIE melee in
front of their goal and Douglas and
Trench together dribbled it the whole
depth of the field for score by Doug
i.ias as the chukker closed.
4. Orange County took the ball to the
i,opposite goal, but Captain Gill stopped
hit with his mallet on the threshold of
a score Then Stevenson lifted the
: ball down into Irish territory with
three great strokes, but he and ms
teammates all missed. Finally Bel
mont carried the ball from his own
III end Of the field to position whence
he could feed it to Hartman for q
tally The Irish put on rally and
: Goulding scored after a melee.
Both teams seemed disorganized by
sthe impossibility of making the ball
BARRY on the rough field, Orange Coun--
ttv finally forced it down the field, and
safter several misses by both sides, as
THE ball sat in front of All lreland's s
goal Hartman put it through with q
sretty cut stroke. A foul was called
sSn Ireland for crossing, but Stevenson
Sailed to convert.
e After a good deal of fruitless gal
abping Hartman passed the ball
fhrough in melee near the Irish goal,
sigst as the period ended. Goulding and
French dribbled the ball down the field
fsfter repelling, and Orange attacked
ssnd Douglas put it through in melee
in the goal.
~ The Hartman men then forced the
sslaying to the mouth of the Irish goal
SEhere both teams milled it effectively
Sff was extricated. Hartman found the
gIsall unguarded a moment later, how
ever, and got free long enough to bring
1T back in range, and when he over
ssode, Stevenson, following, lifted II
Through with fine high shot, Their
5Drange County showed burst OF
.fpeed, going down in a body and enabl-
Z sng Hartman to tally.
Ss Meadow Broks Menaced
e The afternoon play was hard played
sand hard ridden, and during it's first
salalf, at least, the vanquished Anglo
stAmericans were much more of a men
ace to Meadow Brook than the score
Swould indicate. Several times Major
Iaockett displayed fine flashes of his old
renowned brilliance of offense and de.
fense. Hopping, too, played an excel
lent game as usual.
But the Eastcott promise faded out
lyefore long under the fierce slashine
attacks of Milburn and Hitchcock, who

ball and was forced to dismount.
! A fine long shot from midfieid b,
Hurndall narrowly missed the Meadow
Brook goal, and the Englishman, fol
lowing up his stroke, just missed agar
with fine back handler. Milburn res

converted the foul try with fine higl
shot tieing the score.

been struggling against so far. A fou
was called on Meadow Brook, but Vol
