SINGAPORE TEAM LOSE IN MANILA
Manila, Apr. 23. Opening their three-game series in Manila to-day, the 28th Royal Artillery polo team from Singapore lost to the U.S. Army's "Department Headquarters" squad by seven goals to two.
On Wednesday the Singaporeano will play Manila Polo Club "Calatagans."
United Press,
The Royal Artillery players Take the first team ever sent to Manila from Singapore. The squad composed of Major Phillipa, Capt. Nicoll, Capt. Mitchell and Major Paterson-all two-goal handicap players.
It has long been the desire of the Muni Polo Club to foster a series of games between the Club, teams and those representing other clubs in the Orient. Fifteen or 20 years ago interport matches were held between the Manila Polo Club and teams from Hongkong, and it is hoped that the present visit of the Singa pore squad to Manila may be the beginning of an enlarged Interport competition.
