adelphia Polo Cups.
by CAPT. Ii. IL. HOLMES.

Eastcott and Shelburne polo teams
will meet tomorrow on international
Field at Westbury. l.. L., to decide pos
session of the Monty Waterbury cup
The Anglo Americans won place in
the final yesterday by defeating the
Meadow Brook four IL to 10. and by
this victory came into possession of
the cups posted by the Philadelphia and
Bryn Mawr clubs for the tournament
held at the Philadelphia Country Club
last week. The final game there was
officially forfeited to Eastcott, as the
Meadow Brook team declined to play
off in the final because of Z. g. Rum
sey's death, but Major Lockett's four
refused TO accept the trophies unless
played for. Eastcott Is expected to
make matters extremely interesting Tor
the Shelburne team tomorrow.
In yesterdays game the winning team
started off with a handicap lead OF 3
goals, but tomorrow the final contest
will be on the flat.
While Hopping scored goals for
Eastcott and played one of his best
games. yet the credit for winning the
contest belongs as well to thefremainder
of the team. Sanford Hurndall and
Lockett were just as brilliant as the
major score maker. with the result that
despite Milburn's and Hitchcocks bril-
liant playing the Meadow Brook team
had to go down to defeat
On the throw-in at the start Sanford
hit the ball into Meadow Brook terri
tory, but Milburn quickly reversed the
aspect or the game by returning the ball
to his opponents headquarters when
Hurndall was forcedy to make safety,
but Hopping stopped the penalty hit
allowed the Long Island team and car
ried the ball up field to score the first
of his six goals.
Won Stade and Milburn from the
throw-in caused Hurndall 10 save, and
In doing so he colided with a goal
post. the latter only suffering. AS the
opening period came to finish Bacon
tailed after a very dashing run.
The beginning of the second chukker
saw very desultory play around East
colts goal. Several attempts that ordi-
narily would have materialized went
wide of their mark and Sanford and
Hurndall saved their goal from viola
ton on several occasions.
Hopping was responsible for the only
goal made in this period. 1t happened
after he had saved the ball from going
through his goal posts from Milhurn's
hit a clever bit of stick work. He fol-
lowed up by carrying the sphere the
lensth of-<Le field to put it through
the goal.
Milburn's backhander and Hitchcock
made the most skillful goal of the game
when at top speed he drove the ball into
a near side stroke under his pony's neck
right between the goal posts. Hopping
then scored twice, making the score to
3 in his teams favor, but the next
period put different complexion on the
game, as won Stade tailed twice and
Hitchcock once without a return, thus
making the scoreboard read at half time
Eastcott 7, Meadow Brook 6.
When the second half began Lockett
put Eastcott another goal ahead, but
Hitchcock and Won Stade scored. the
former being particularly brilliant in the
plays that resulted in these two tallies.
This evened the score, but before the
chukker was over I4oclSett put Easteott
in front again. From this point the
Anglo-Americans maintained the advan-
tage TO the end, only allowing Meadow
Brook to score twice more, and then
In the last chulker when the English
team had a safe lead Of five goals.
To-day the Argentine team will play a
practice match with the All-Ireland polo
club. The lineup
