The second big match of the afternoon was that between the American Troop "A" Probables and a strong Club side, composed of Lutey,, Sprague, Fritz and Culbertson, Fritz has been playing down in Manila and was snatching a days play in Shanghai before leaving for the United States in the morning. The Troop played Allman, Harris, Painter and Rodger. Unfortunately this match had to be played last as Harris, the star Troop player, could not get down to the ground before six o'clock, By this time conditions, apart from the fact that it was beautifully cool, were far from ideal both for players and spectators for the east wind blew clouds of dust over the spectators whenever the ponies came near to the stands. This match was also very evenly contested, ihe Club side beating the Troop by eight goals to six, Lutey and Fritz scoring three goals for ihe winners, and Sprague two, whilst for the Troop Rodger scored three goals, Painter two and Allman one.
