RuMsoN COUNTRY CLUB, RUMsoN,
as another triumph for the strictly
evening in the second match for the Ht
Harry East, seven goal man, living
like number OF tailies, the Flamingos
tie Anglo-American Eastcetts by II
Major Vivian w. Lockett, famous Int,
OF England and Earl w. Hopping and
to concede seven goals TO the all -Yank
back.
1T was only through remarkable
rally In the eighth period. In which
Major Hurndal was in the van with
two goals, while Hopping scored third,
that the Eastcotts We're able to make O
presentable showing. Not until Hopping
sent the bah between the goal posts In
the closing minute did the Eastcotts
take the lead in the matter of goals
actually scored by IL to 10.
The match was marred by bad acci-
dent to Capt. Harry Fl. Holmes, the ref
cree. At the close of the fifth period
Capt. Holmes was thrown heavily and
sun cred a fracture of his collarbone.
He mounted his pony again, saw the
sixth chukka started, kept on gamely
and then had TO retire. Suffering In
tense pair, Capt. Holmes had to beg
off, as he put 1t. Very sorry, you
know, but my collarbone Is broken"
Louis Lacey. captain OF the Argentine
fouY, was pressed into service as a ref
erce.
There was another splIl--in the SEQ
ond period-and II looked far worse
than that suffered by the referee. The
victim of the early nshap was Benja-
min X. Gatins, No 3 OF the Flamingos
He was thrown in the center OF the field
and his mount rolled over him. Ii
looked like serious mishap. but after
a while Gatins recovered and went back
into the fight as clipper as could be
Major Lockett also was unhorsed at the
very start Later East got a fall, too
The footing was uncertain from recent
rains.
East was a revelation, but 80 was
j. C. Cooley OF the Flamingos. who rode
like a streak and stroked with deadly
vlgor. Cooley got one goal and Gatins
scored two. For the Eastcotts the lead
ing scorer was the American Hopping
with four goals. Hurndali and Sanford
got three each and Major Lockett one.
The last named played far below form.
Certainly he was long way from a
nine goal man this evening and showed
the need of a lot more practice.
Lack of Team Work.
Major Hurndall was nothing to brag
about either In the frst half. but he i'm
the close vied with Hopping in setting
the pace. Hopping seemed out of his
polo element and Sanford appeared to be
fighting in company just a bit too fast
for him. The Eastcotts missed
atrociously and they showed very little
team work. This was due to the fact
that they had enjoyed practically no
real work together.

Gatins Scores Quickly.
The Flamingoes got the jump on the
Anglo-Americans in the opening period,
Gatins getting a score before the match
was under way for a minute. He got
the willow out OF the opening scrim-
mage and with three splendid hits shot
the bali between the posts for a pretty
goal. Before the Eastcotts got settled
the Flamingoes got right through them
for a second goal. making the score
to . In favor of the All-Yankee comoi-
nation.
That second goal was a beauty and
went to the credit or East. He stole
the ball from right under Locketts nose
and tearing away at a hot pace, sent
the bali before him sharply and accu-
rately. Three hits put II through. the
scoring stroke being made from a bad
angle The Flamingoes' better mounts
we're telling
The chukka was not to close with
everything going the way OF the Ameri-
can side. After series of hard scrim-
images and misses by both sides Hop
ping made beautiful run and fed the
ball to Sanford. who hammered IL
through. The international side had
scored but 1t was eight goals behind
and was being outplaycd by side seven
goals its inferior in rating.
After the accident to Gatins at the
start OF the second period the match
warmed 20 pretty hot pace. But still
the Eastcotts were being outplayed.
Major Lockett simply could not get
going. He overrode many a shot and
wasn't sure OF himself.
