for moment and off his horse he went.

O. Two more TO go TO tie for tho
Argentinians and the pace sizzled.
Up and down the torn turf they rods
madly, fighting. snarling. shouting, rid
ing each other off with abandon. Into
one or the mixups came Rumsey and
the brightest OF the orange shirts.
Harriman's Deadly Aim.
Out OF this mIxup emerged Rumssy
and the ball. Up at the head OF the
field at dead center was Hartman walt
ing for tie pass which he was sure
would come. AS Rumsey disengaged
himself from the melee he shot the ball
with deadly aim to Hartman who was
equally deadly in HIS aim for the goal
posts. As the onlookers shouted in
glee another goal was rung up for the
Americans. Now 1t was America, IL.
the Argentine, .. Just before the period
closed John Nelson shot a goal for the
Argentinians, from a scrimmage close
TO the goal posts. The session was over
and the Americans still had a lead OF
two goals. 1t was Il to 10.
Now came that wild eighth. A great
rally by the Argentinians was anticl-
pated by the American side, which set
a terrific pace from the bell. Soon Stew
enson made a sensational shot and
missed. The Americans were playing az
if they and not the Argeatinians were
behind. Judging from the tactics Stew
enson and his men had adopted toward
the close Of the seventh chukker 1t was
thought that the Americans would go
purely on the defensive in the eighth.
Theirs was a precious advantage to de-
fend against the desperate invaders and
defend 1t they did with terrific attack.
The Americans were mighty In their
onslaughts. As the Yankees pressed
the Argentinians began to miss badly.
There was lot OF play at center field
and then came Rumsey. He took ths
ball out Of scrimmage. stroked II
vigorously into Argentinian territory
and then came up to lead the attack
for the goal.
hdIietS swung IHadly DOWN at the END
Of the campus. and then came wild
shout OF triumph from the American
side. Stevenson had shot that final
decisive goal. The score now stood
America 13. the Argentine 10.
For nearly four minutes after that
they fought into the fast gathering
shadows, the Americans still were set
ting the pace and the South Americans
seemed to slow down against the COM
pelling power OF their rivals and the
compelling power of American polo.
Thus the score stood TO the finish, 1910.
The teams had just come out of a mixup
at q far corner Of the field when the
final bell rang. Then the whistle. The
fours broke into little companies and
off the field they rode. The Americans
