WATER POLO.
CHINA ATHLETIC BEAT ROYAL ARTILLERY.
UNIVERSITY SECONDS'
SUCCESS.
The
The Chinn Athletic Club beat the Royal Artillery yesterday in the first division of the Water Polo League by three goals to one. Chinese were faster all round, but the soldiers had the advantage of weight and stamina.
"In the first half, thanks to some! clever work on the part of the for- wards, the Chinese were able to acore two goals. The soldiers' de-) fence made the mistake of being too eager to assist their forwards, wha in their turn, by continually bunch- ing together, made the work of the Chinese defenders such simpler.
In the second half the Royal Ar- tillery raised the hopes of their supporters when they acored a be autiful goal early on. Almost im mediately afterwards, however, the Chinese added their third goal,

C.C.C. BEAT C.S.C.C. IN CLOSE GAME,
This game was played on the Civil Service ground and was very exciting in the way that after sight sets were played, the scores stood at four sets all. The last set was played in semi-darkness and at times it might be truly said that the players lost sight of the bull. After a hard fight, the Craigengower C. C. claimed the set to give them the match at 5.4.
The scores were:- Pengelly and Guell (C.S.C.C.):---

Detroit, June 29.-A rio was narrowly averted during the Ath- letics and Tigers game here to-day, after a narrow decision had result ed in the loss of the game for the home team..

And so on. The deponents are numerous and vociferous. But they are talking for publication in a French paper.
Charles Connet, editorializing in the same issue of L'Intransigeant, opines that if ano man in the per- son of Tilden could not defend the Cup single-handed for America, one man in the person of Cochet Edith Cress and Sarah Palfrey can have little better luck.

Therefore the question hings, not on Cocket, but on Borotrs and Brugaon. M. Hasson is sure the Basque can win at least one of his assignments. Providig Tilden plays, is difficult to say just which one that would be. Personally I do not think Borotra, with all his good theatre, can beat either Bill or George Lott this year. But then I have not seen George Lott this year.
Fox of the Athletics made a home ran against the Tigers and helped Philadelphia to win by 6 to 3, though each team committed an error and each made a dozen hits.
A nip-and-tuck contest between the Yankees and the Cleveland In- dians at New York was won for the Yanks in the seventh innings, when Reese rapped out a home run, mak ing the score 7-6, which it remained until the end. Earlier in the game, Lou Gehrig bad made a homer.
