CALIFORNIAN POLO.
DEFEAT OF AUSTRALIANS
SAN FRANCISCO, February 11
In a polo match at Delmonte, California, yesterday, in the Pacific Coast championship tournament, the Midwick (California) team defeated the AustralianHawaiian team (Pearson. Baldwin, Skene. Beveridge), by 11 goal? to 10, in
one of the hardest fought polo games ever seen here.
The Australian combination gave a great battle, and displayed better team work, except in the eighth and extra chukkers. Except in the first period they were ahead until the scores were equal in the sixth chukker, and again in the eighth. Of the goals scored by them, Pearson scored four, Baldwin two, Skene three and Beveridge one.
