Although the American defender* i
played desperately yesterday after- j
noon, they were not equal to winning
and fhu* forcing the challenger* Into j
a third and deciding cofUeat. Their i
thrilling rushes in the cloning minutes!
of the struggle aroused the 40,000 spec
tator* to a frenzy, however, and no,
previous international polo struggle'
ever dosed under such tense and ex-
Titing conditions.
Last Period.
When the eighth and last period
opened, the American four was leading
by a fraction of a point. Each team
•cored a goal in this period, but the
defenders transgressed the rules by
sharp crossing and were penalized for
fouling. And so it came about that
just aJ the sun sank, (Captain Barrett,
of the llurlinghum Club's successful
.four, was carried to the club bouse on
the shoulders of the English cohorts
and American polo devotees began to
discuss plans for a 1915 Invasion of

were penalised hut one.
Little Difference.
Many looked for a repetition of Sat
.urd.v's pltp, but the Americans showed
little of the stage fright that marked
•thstr game in the initial contest. In
Vact there was little difference between
the work of the challenging and de
fending fours. The rearranged com hi*
showed heeler team work and
fully held its own with the Invaders
yin the matter of riding and hitting.
Jf The American ponies also proved
just as fast as those of the Hurling

quick sprints and checking, the two
teams appeared equal

Sore Right Shoulders on Ac
count of So Much Shooting
Yesterday. .
The second day’s carnage of clay
pigeons in the Georgia State Shoot,
held under the auspices of the Augusta
Gun Club, commenced at 9 o’clock this
morning, and continued all day, this
being the concluding event.
The majority of the marksmen com
plained of sore right shoulders today,
and there was a reason as the scores
| on the Held and the "dead hirls’’ gave
mute testimony to. The day was not
I quite as pleasant for the shooters ami
j spectators as yesterday, but the many
awnings spread on the field rectified
(he torrldncss and glare and kept down
the perspiration.
At noon W. H. Jones and Jim Bar
rett were in the lead, the former hav
ing 50 broken ones to his credit, and
the latter, 68 These represent three
events only, H D Freeman, having a
score of 74, and Brad Timms, 65, but
this score represents four events.
This afternoon the championship
shoot will take place contestants being
in the last live events. No stop for din
! ner was officially made, and those who
left the firing line to get a bite did so
reluctantly and hurried back to the
sport.
This afternoon ends the match, and
it may lie that this city will get it next
year. Large numbers have attended
and enjoyed the shoot immensely. It
has been the biggest yet put on by the
Augusta (inn Club.

Atlanta Gets Next Meeting Place. Business Session to be
Resumed at K. of P. Hall Tomorrow. ’Cue This P. M.
The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the
Red Men of Georgia, known in the
language of the Red Men as the thir
ty-fifth Great Sun Session of the Im
proved Order of Red Men, was con
vened this morning at 9 o'clock in the
Wigwam of Papoose Tribe No. 10, in
the Knights of Pythias Hall on Eighth
street. It is estimated that there are
easily three hundred visiting Red
Men in the city for the session.
The first part of the morning's
meeting were the exercises to which
the public generally were welcome.
They were presided over by Past
Sachem P. K Tant of this city, and
were opened with a brilliant address
of welcome to the Red Men of Georgia
by Augusta's mayor, Hon. L. C. Hayne.
The response was made by Hon.
Thos. H. Jeffries, of Atlanta, Past
Great Sachem, who spoke in behalf of
the Great Council of this state. His
remarks were happy all the way
way through. He is very witty and
besides an interesting talker. It more
than filed the bill.
Following the response, Mr. W. B.
Sloan, of Gainesville, delivered an ad
dress, which was regarded by many
who heard it as one of the best the
Red Me.i of this Great Council ha,ve
ever had the pleasure of hearing. It
concerned fraternal organizations gen
erally, no special one particularly,
and was a splendid speech in favor of
fratelnaiism.
A few choice remarks by Past Great
Sachem P. K. Tant, welcoming the
Red Men in Augusta, ended the pub
lic exercises.
