PANDEMONIUM AT A
CUP TIE.
GROUND STREWN WITH INJURED PLAYERS.
Birmingham, March 26. Scenes unparalleled in the history of the ground were, witnessed at Villa Park to-day, when the Ar- senal beat Hull City by one goal to nil in the replayed English Cup
semi-final.
POLO CLUB.
Question of the Ground Tenure.
THE USE OF WALERS,
Colonel Brownrigg presided at the annual meeting of the Polo Club last evening.
In his address he stated that the excess of income over expenditure for the year was $2.520, as against $101.67 for the previous year. A The climax of a strenuous, bust-sum of $1.389.60 had been expended ling game occurred shortly after during the your on special repairs to half-time, when the referee ordered the ground, re-turfing, etc., and sub- Childs, the Hull centre half to lenve the ground for fouling Jack.

'Crowd' Protest, l'ândemoniuni broke loose. The crowd roared their protest in uni-
son.
A fight between two spectatora broke out on the shilling side, and the disturbance spread until there were at least twenty fights in pro- gress among the crowd.
All the players clustered round the referee gesticulating and ap- peating frantically to him to alter his docision.
Someone then kicked the ball into the crowd of players, It hit Parker, the Arsenal captain, full in the face, and knocked him out. He had to receive attention.
For a moment it looked as though there would be a free fight among the players, but the referee blew his whistle for the restart, and averted another ugly scene.
"Like A Battlefield." From then on the ground was more like a battlefield than a play- ing field.
There was not an interval of five minutes during which some player was not lying on the ground writh- ing and groaning. So common- place did this become that the. game eventually proceeded without notice being taken of the prostrate players. Fully half the players They were injured in some way. limped and hobbled painfully about the field.
Ms, the Hull centre-forward, was carried off the field, and did not return. Lewis, the Arsenal custodian, kept goal with his head bandaged. Baker, Parker, Bell, Gillson, and Jack were all the in jured.
As the referee moved about the field he was greeted with boos, cat- calls and ironical cheering for the remainder of the game.

Ground Tenure. The position as regards ground tenure, said the Chairman, could best bd summarised by quoting from the recent report of the Playing Fields Committee, which said:
"We have given very careful con- akderation to the question of how the area at present alloted to the Polo Club at Queen's Recreation Ground could most fairly and use fully he employed for the purposes of recreation. We have noticed that whilst this area is on the one harul nominally reserved for a com- paratively small body, viz., the play ing members of the Polo Club, in reality it forms a playground for many hendreds of children of the locality when not in actual use for polo, and we are informed that the Pelo Club has offered the use of the grand for other games on the whole of Saturdays and Sundays through- out the year when the ground is not ordinarily used by the Polo Club anti subject to no serious damage being done to the turf. We realise further the importance of the game of polo in training of Army Officera and would be loath to do anything that would impede the continued existence of the game in the Colony. We understand from the Club's ro- presentatives however that alternative ground is offered in the an Aberdeen Valley the Club would have no objection to transferring there, its stables remaining where they are now and ponies being walked out to the ground prior to play.
