BEATS SHELBURNB
Continued from First Page.


two in the seventh, making their score
Ia against for Shelburne. There was
no more scoring. The eighth and final
round saw Shelburne sweeping toward
the enemy goal line. streaking blue and
yellow waves. With Webb and Belmont
carrying the brunt of the attack, the ball
shot to the shadow of the post no less
than six times. 1t was not defense that
prevented scoring. The direction of the
Shelburne mallets was off by feet and
sometimes by inches. Only twice in the
last period were the Argentine four able
to get the hall out Of their own terri
tory
Previous to the opening of the game
the long string OF magnificent horse
flesh was paraded around the field in
international fashion.
Then from the eastern goal line trot-
ted a line OF men carrying over the
shoulders the tongue-handled mallets.
The cheers burst forth here and there
as the two teams rode into their regular
lineup a tumult arose from all over
that held. Capt. Vivian n. Lockett OF
the Eastcott team. acting as field ref
cree, raised his hand. and q streak of
white bounded between the ponies
hoofs.
The mallet of Webb pulled the ball
from the melee and the horses broke
for the eastern goal. The ball leaped
from the mallet OF Webb In a slashng
drive to the boards, where It was picked
up by Belmont. 1t was showed into the
open and the hard riding Mills tackled
his mallet to II to speed II to midfield
Bobby Strawbridge. standing high in bis
stirrups. sent it crashing down the field
and a Jade and yellow shirt topped
by a red hat. swooped down upon Il.
1t was Belmont He brought forth
bedlam Of cheers as the white ball
streaked between the posts In two shots.
The Binding Attack.
Then came the binding Argentine at
tack. Strawbridge backhanded fear
fui wallop from Louis Nelson at the
boards straight to tho mailet tip of
the wonderful Lacey. A staccato
smack and the magnificent gray pony
swept toward the line. Another smack
and the ball accounted for Argentines
FIRST score.
The ball scarcely touched the ground
on the second throw when a gray pony
streaked from the mill. carrying rider
whose ponderous mallet sent the ball
In three drives to the limo. 1t was
Lacey again. The rush Of the punched
horses following close behind snapped
goal post In half. Again straight
from a scrimmage--a brief time after
tho lineup at midneld-a wide over arm
shot by the same player shot the
third OF the period. A back handed
shot from the Strawbridge mallet to
Belmont at midneld found the period
closed.
Belmont missed a long drive from
Stoddard. and Nelson slapped the ball
TO Lacey. The latter rolled In q circle,
trolled the pill a few feet. and then
tagged 1t high In the air. His direc-
tion was a bit bad. and the ball rolled
over the line two feet from the posts.
Strawbridge drove out. the ball being
stopped by Jack Nelson. After a rush
ing two minutes of play, the ball went
far down the field toward Shelburne's
goal, with Strawbridge in hot pursuit.
His backhander failed. AS he over
rode the ball Lacey picked 1t UP and
scored easily In two shots.
Belmont and Strawbridge. by pretty
series OF passing. brought the ball to
m!dfield. Then, the lightning Miles tore
out from scrimmage and swooped 10 the
goal. Almost at tho lire ne cut the
ball 70 Nelson and pretty under arm
shot drove It straigh. through the poets,
The third was bitter. Jack Nelson's
goal was the only one OF the period and
came after Webb had missed pass
Lacey and driven 10 Nelson. who slashed
Il over in two long shots.
Lacsv troiied the ball from the line
in a drive out 10 open the fourth and
then e.sshed II TO midfel6. Two rush

after picking up Strawhrlcses drive
from line. Belraonrs three drives OUT
