Handicaps of Polo Players Revised

Harris Continues to be Given top Rating; 4th 4 Tyro Cup Match By "Tue Cuasen"

It was announced last night that entries for the Army Cup will be reopened as to enable players whose Handicaps have been revised to participate, and the closing date'has been set for Saturday, July 16.

This will give the Durtiams an opportunity to enter a team and there are strong indications, of their putting up a pretty good one. They might use as their pivot man Luard, whom I think is their best player. For their forward line Arderne and Simpson appears to be the most capable while Humphreys would be an excellent back with his long shots.

Harris still heads the list at five goals and a notable rise is that of Krikoriantz who is raised from two to four. The Keswick brothers are fully" justified in being put up one and Rodger and Clu Rivau cannot be any lower than four.

The fourth Tyro Cup match was played yesterday afternoon at the Race Course and what many thought Would be an excellent match turned Out be something of a failure. The match was a scrappy one with neither side really being in form Poor Game The Seaforths (Maclagan, Macfar-Tane, Franklin and Wolfe Murray) conceded Meadowbrook (W. H. Allman, Turbyfill, Krikoriantz and Siemssen) one goal and received a thorough beating by losing eight goals to two. Allman and Turbyfill, members of the winning Meadowbrook team last year, were disappointing and were nowhere near their usual form and as a spectator remarked, what goals Allman scored were "unavoidable." Krikoriantz was perhaps the best on the field and showed occasional, flashes of his true form.

Siemssen fouled when the Seaforths attacked early in the first chukker. The penalty shot taken by Wolfe Murray went astray. Meadowbrook carried the ball down from the hit cut but Allman hit wide. Allman missed again from a melee. The first goal was scored by Krikoriantz who hit under the ponies neck. Seaforths missed a glorious chance to score when Franklin passed to Maclagan who, with noone near except the goal posts missed' the ball. Play continued, after the bell, until Allman hit behind.
