The Tyro Cup Tournament made further progress yesterday afternoon when two maíches of the Polo series were played. The weather was "terrifi" "but luckily the matches were played two chukkers at a time and none was more grateful for the arrangement then the players who, literally, collapsed into the chairs and could only just barely call out "Boy give me a drink."
The first match was between the Mounties (Clark, A. A. White, Harris and C. B, Moller) who conceded the Marines (Hogaboom, Winecoff, Krulak and Rodeheffer) five goals handicap and gave them a tremendous trouncing of thirteen goals to five.
The Marines played a plucky game and fought until the end, even when their doom was obviously sealed in the second chukker. Their ponies were, besides being slow, hard to handle, 3 Harris was of course the main factor in the winning team's success and through his coaching his team combined well. Alec White was hitting well but lacked match initiative and was often out of place, but this is his first season, and he did pretty well.
