CAMDEN POLO TEAM AT SAVANNAH \ mwmwmmmmzm Bates v/s.'. v/SjrC'ssJvrm i jijwm in Hhame Tupper Camden Team Wins ? In Close Colo Game Tin- Savannah Morning News of Sunday has the following to say of j the |>olo (,'iinie played in Savannah Saturday between Camden and the 118th Field Artillery team: The sort of defeat that makes the loser clasp the ham! of the winner in j honest congratulation upon his victory was Savannah's yesterday when the lIKth Field Artillery polo team lost to a team from Camden, S. C., by the score of ; to 8. It was one of the best polo games ever seen in Savannah. The two teams will meet again this afternoon on the Waters Road field for the second game of the two-game i series. While the odds are somewhat | with the Camden players, most of whom are rated, and are equipped with genuine polo ponies, the Savannah team seemed confident that it can equal and probably surpass the showing it made yesterday. Savannah L'ot away to a swift,1 quick-scoring start while Camden's pace, slow at the beginning, gradually accelerated until the 7-to-d lead Savannah had at the end of the fourth period was wiped out. the score tied, and the game won just as the gong sounded the end of the sixth period. The Camden players, most of whem are rated players, and possessors of Argentine polo ponies, had offered to play the Savannah team under a bandit ap. but St rgt. .1, T. Coleman, enplain of the Savannah team, doelined the oll'er. preferring to meet the visitors on an even basis, without a favoring handicap. Thus additional va 1 ue was given Savannah's showing j in yesterday's game against a team | with definite advantages in its favor. Mai. Lester Karow of Charleston, I ~ V 4 ^ ' , referee, described the game us "filled with excellent sportsmanship" and "remarkable because of the few fouls committed." *'. ' The ability of Savannah players to }?et the ball deftly out of the to?s-in j melee was seen soon after the game; started. Joseph MoGrath, playing No. 1 position, passod the ball to Alfred Wat kins at No. 2, arul he in turn passcApit on to Sergeant Coleman, who scored the first goal for Savannah. On a foul called on Savai\nnh, Charles Little, Camden captain, scored the first goal for his side. Watkins, with a spectacular run from mid-field, scored Savannah's second goal. Little, of Camden, balanced the score again early in the second period, and Coleman came back with another goal for Savannah. A pasvs from Coleman to Watkins in the third gave Savannah another point. A high shot through the goal posts by McCJrath on a pass from Coleman, and another goal by Coleman ran the score for Savannah to 6 at the end of the third. Altred E. Floyd went in for Watkins in the fourth, and' Roscoe Harper replaced Mc-Grath. Floyd made a neat save at the south goal during this stage of the game, following another tally for Savannah by Harper, who completed a pass from Coleman. Little scored a third goal for Camden on a free shot. Kirby Tapper of Camden, playing No. !. scored three goals during the fifth period as the pace of the game increased. Little scored another for Camden, and Watkins got one for Savannah. With one period to go the score stood K to 7 in Savannah's favor. Little scored early in the sixth, and after both teams had fought up and down the field, Clarkson Rhame No. 2 scored the winning point for Camden as the game ended. The work of Harry Cram, who played No. 4 for Savannah, and that of Joe Bates, Jr., who played the same position for Camden, drew commendation from the fans.
