Show . - Early Polo Gami .' It Is a long vista back to the historic his-toric day when, In 1871, two cavalry teams played the first polo game on English soil with a billiard ball and hockey sticks; to Prospect park, Brooklyn, when the elder Bennett and -Foxhall Keene staged the first game on American soli In 1870. Yet these two events have made polo truly International. In-ternational. The tactics of those early players of the eighties have been profoundly pro-foundly modified until the game has now become a science, In which the pony has gradually come to share the honors with his rider. |
