POLO
NEW ZEALAND TEAM WINS. [by CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYKIGHT.] SYDNEY, April 19. The New Zealand polo team defeated Die Victoria Hunt Club by 9 goals to .3. For Now Zealand, K. Peake scored .three goals, Mackenzie three, Nolan two, and C. Peake one. The New Zealand team made an excellent start. Although they began rather indifferently, when they got into their stride they were much more accurate and in the last two periods completely outplayed their opponents. The whole team did well, with K. Peake perhaps the outstanding player on the field. Nolan was invariably enterprising, while Mackenzie was sound' and rarely missed chances. CPeake, however, lacked the accuracy necessary for a Number Two. The team personally is very popular, and it is expected to show further improvement when it gets its bearings. The speed and handiness of the New Zealand ponies evoked favourable comment. The team’s next appearance against the cup-holders, Hunter River, is eagerly awaited. An unfortunate mishap occurred today, when Nolan’s pony Marie lost an eye, which was knocked out by" a mallet. The pony had been lent by Mr G. de Vere Chitty, manager of the team.
