David Miles Displays Gameness
an outstanding incident of the day
,os the game playing of David Miles,
after he had been hurt in the begin
ming of the fourth chukker The plucky
Areentinian, though his left leg was
wrenched, done up in yellow cloth
bandage and minus the protection of
a boot, never Stacked his pace for an
instant nor made any attempt to spare
his hurt member in the marvellous rid
ing off which distinguished his play.
HIS fine spirit was hailed by the stands
with enthusiastic applause as he was
carried up the field in the arms of
two team mates to the cup presentation
after the game.
The Argentinians were superior in
every department of the game, but in
nose was it more evident than in their
geaeralship. Contrary to expectation,
they were one guess ahead of MilbuYn
for sae greater part of the time. Their
attack was beautifully flexible, and in
dividually they mingled the deepest of
polo with the hardest, fastest and
most daring of riding
One instance. i'll particular, drew the
unqualified admiration of all who saw
Il as one Of the finest bits of polo
genius This was >when j. Miles, who
was going down toward the Meadow
Brook goal on the ball, saw that the
great Milburn was close behind him,
checked as if he intended to ride off
the American back, and then, when he
had induced MiIburn to rein in to meet
the shock, shot forward free and made
the goal before the other could re-
csyeY.
John Miles Outstanding Star
Sohn Miles, as matter of fact, al
ternately outwitted, rode off or neu-
tralized the Meadow Brook back, who
defense man in the polo world The
exhibition filed followers of the game
with amazement, for Miles was COM
paratively unknown as player,
Equally fine work was done by David
Miles in covering Hitchcock SO thor
oughly that the internationalist,
ususlly meteoric player, was smoth
cred. AS for Lacey, as leader and as
player, to-day's game conclusively
proyes that he is one of the greatest
3 the world and as back is second
ssrhsps to none. He played brilliantly,
steadily, all over the field and in every
position.
All the resources of polo seemed to
be at his finger tips, and he demon
strated the invaluable gift of being
able to keep cool head while leading
the hottest of attacks.
South American stick work was as
usual extraordinarily good, and the
Argentine ponies had the edge on their
opponents mounts, despite the re-
entorclng of the Meadow Brook string
from Harriman's stable. The horse
manshlp OF the players from Buenos
Ayres, too. was marvellous, and provided
the ground work for the splendid rid
ing off, at which all of them excelled
81 every pace. the faster, however. be-
ing apparently the better to their
liking.
