While nothing hinged on yesterdays
meeting, it was regarded as great
opportunity for the Argentinians to
get in their last active competition be-
fore facing Milhurn's famous Meadow
Brook big Four" on international
Field on Wednesday in the first of the
two special international matches for
what is generally regarded as the
worlds championship.
This afternoon at o'clock the final
round match for the Monty Waterbury
cup will be played on international
Field, with Louis E. Stoddard's fast
Shelburne House four meeting f. w.
Hopping's Anglo American Eastcott
team.
This should result in really stir
ring contest, for both Eastcott and
Shelburne have shown not only high
class polo but also the keenest Of
week at Meadow Brook. While the
handicaps are announced just before
the start of each game. it is believed
that Shelburne will receive one goal
from the Eastcott four. 1t Is worthy
of note, in sizing up these two teams,
that Shelburne defeated Argentine on
Wednesday and Eastcott eliminated
Meadow Brook Freebooters on Thurs
day.
Special Match Monday
A special match Is being arranged
for next Monday afternoon on Inter
national Field, at which tickets for
the fourth game Of the tournament
will be required. The makeup of the
competing fours will probably be an
nounced tomorrow.
the players yesterday, so balmy that
motored to the field discarded their
wraps and furs and spread them on
the turf to sit upon. The gods of
polo have certainly been gracious to
Meadow Brook this week.
David Miles, the regular No. 1 of
Argentine, was back in the saddle yes
terday for the first time since he was
injured in q game some weeks ago, but
he was shifted to No. 3 and his
brother, John Miles, held the No. /
position, with Jack Nelson at No. and
Captain Lewis L. Lacey at back. The
all-Ireland four kept their regular
scratch, SO it was a case of may the
best man win" when they took the
field.
After Milburn had made the throw
in the play alternated up and down
the length of the field before John
Miles, who was, incidentally, the high
est scorer of the day, with 6 goals,
succeeded in knocking the ball between
the goal posts after four minutes of
play, and Captain Lacey was next to
score, shortly before the first chukker
ended. There was lot Of loose hit
ting by both teams in the early stages.
Trench Scores for Visitors
Trench marked up a goal for Ire
land minute after the second period
began, scoring on a free hit from
foul, and then Captain Lacey scored
twice more for Argentina. The first
of these was we'll earned. Lacey drib-
bling the ball the last thirty yards,
after working his way through the
Irish forwards. The second came Us
bination play, John Miles feeding the
ball to Lacey about fifty yards from
the goal and the latter scoring from
that distance on powerful cut shot.
Argentina was working more smooth
ly now and in the fifth chukker, direct
ly after the throw-in, John Miles took
great smash from Lacey and shot
the ball squarely between the goal
posts, Captain Gill making brilliant
but vain effort to save at the very
portals.
Trench, who had been playing splen-
did polo from the very start, then
scored for Ireland on two great drives
from the center, leaving the score at

ended.
John Miles made the sixth goal for
Argentina after q prolonged struggle
for possession of the ball near the
center. David Miles finally made
great hit for the Irish goal posts, but
the ball would have dribbled over the
line and out Of play had it not been
for John Miles, who raced after the
willow, caught up with it and then
steered it through with two short
pokes. A half minute later Captain
Lacey failed on a free hit from the
fifty-yard mark.
Ireland made determined effort to
cut down the lead after that, the ever
ready Trench taking the ball straight
through the opposing defense and
shooting it home for a goal: Jack
Nelson rctliated for Argentina by
scoring Ou d I1SiAcuuOuS osHdou 1LOAA
the sixty-yard mark just before the
bell rang.
The fight grew keener in the fifth
chukker, and John Miles was the only
one to score after the teams mad
played overtime. In the sixth and last
period, however, the Miles brothers
were at their best, David making a
spectacular save on Goulding's long
drive straight for the goal, and then
John Miles scored twice for Argentina,
aided by great feeding from his team
mates.
