Polo will be played this afternoon at the Race Course commencing at half past four with a four chukker practice match between the former favourites in the Army Cup Tournament, Mixed Grill, and Culbertson's team. Following this game the Light Horse will face a Club side in a four chukkers match while the third game will be between the popular old rivals—the B teams of the Light Horse and American Troops.
The Mixed Grill-Culbertson game should produce some good polo and the Mixed Grill are featuring Neppo, who is taking the place of their former number one. It is understood that Neppo is among the leading polo players in Peiping and will make his first appearance here in a game this afternoon. Mixed Grill will be composed of Hornby, Krikoriantz, Neppo and Williams. Culbertson's side—R.
B. Moller, Moore, Lacks and Culbertson—is once again sound and all crocks have been temporarily patched The Light Horse appears to be a stronger side than the Club and with the practice they have been putting in recently, experts concede a victory to them this afternoon. The Club side will be represented by Allman, Clark, Macfarlane and Wolle-Murray, The Light Horse will field their usual team—A. A. White, E. B. Moller, Hughes and Elles.
The third game will feature the B teams of the Light Horse and American Troop and apart from Henry White and Robinson of the Light Horse and Laidlaw of the American Trooper the rest are this year's "recruits."
A pick-up chukker will be played after this match for those who want extra chukkers, or who are not in any of the teams.
