New-York tribune., 1922-09-05

Matters went pretty much Shell
burne's way during most of the game
1t was not Until the end of the fifth
chukker that the Flamingoes made
their first tally. The pink shirts ap.
peared in a new line up, owing to Ga
tins's being laid up with. strained
shoulder, and due to this fact perhaps
their style of play as they started was
more conservative than usual In ad-
dition, they apparently made mistake
in the first half by making Louis Mel
son, the Argentine, who played No.
while Cooley took Gatins's position at
No. 8, devote himself largely to the
defensive work of riding off Straw
bridge instead of attacking on his own
account This mistake was rectified in
the latter part of the game, and con-
sequently the team began to score.
Captain Harry Holmes resumed his
duties as referee for the first time
since his injury, although not in the
saddle. The sky was overcast and rain
threatened throughout the match, hold
ing off, however, until after its con-
clusion. Despite the unpromising
weather a fairly large crowd was in
attendance.
Webb played a sterling game for his
side, we'll backed by his team mates,
particularly Stoddard. East was the out
standing Flamingo, with Nelson doing
some fine work when he got free.
East Does Well for Flamingoes.
When play started at 11:43 the Fla
ingoes got away first, but East's try at
goal failed. Webb picked it up and
fed it down the field to Stoddard, who
scored the first tally. An attack by
East and Nelson was turned by Stod-
dard and Webb. Score: Shelburne
House, /; Flamingo, 0.
Shelburne's combination got working
early in the second chukker and Stod-
dard soor scored on fine pass from
Webb The latter, playing in beauti-
full form, shortly afterward tailed
himself. Prince broke up another
Shelburne offensive, and put the ball
in a good position for his No. l to
score, but Nelson missed. Score: Shell
burne, 3; Flamingo, O.
Several rapid melees took place at
the beginning Of the third period in
front of the Flamingo goal, during the
last one of which Stoddard's pony went
down and rolled completely over, with
out, however, injuring either rider or
horse. When play began again Bel
dred yards away, missing only by
inches. After a brief period of ag-
gressiveness on Flamingo's part, Shell
burne went up the field in body with
the ball, and Strawbridge scored. The
veteran Stoddard Tailed again just be-
fore the chukker closed. Score: Shell
burne, E.; Flamingo, O.

of the period, but Shelburne rallied
strongly and Webb scored. Nelson be-
gan to force the pace, but could not
score through Webb and Strawbridge.
Score: Shelburne, 6; Flamingo, 0.
Nelson Scores First for Losers
Shelburne continued on the ag-
gressive. Nelson got away for a fine
run the length of the field, but failed
to score, the ball glancing off the
post. A melee in front of the Flam-
lingo goal a little later resulted in
Stoddard's scoring from the press.
Webb found the ball in a favorable
position and put it through the posts.
himself loose for fine run and made
the first Flamingo goal. Score: Shell
burne, 8; Flamingo, 1.
After some milling in midfield Shell
burne took hold of the ball and worked
it up the field to position where Bel
mont was able to score on a short
stroke. Then Nelson carried it deep
into Shelhurne territory, where, though
the Argentinian was ridden off by
Strawbridge, East, following close,
slammed the ball through. Score: Shell
burne, g.; Flamingo, 3.
The pink shirted riders put on their
hardest fight in the seventh chukker.
After an attack by Stoddard had failed
owing to the ball striking goal post,
Cooley and East galloped down the
field for a score by East. Then
foul for crossing was called on Shell
burne, which East converted neatly.
Again East struck, but Strawbridge
Tended off his attempt. A second at
tempt from foul was made by East,
but the bail was blocked in the goal.
