A. Murtaugh, Rev. Campbell, and
Rev. Lawson. The senior play pre-
sented in the evening by the class OF

costumes and stage settings we're
typical of this period, and the play
itself was well acted under the
clever direction of Mrs, Hunt a
fair sized audience greeted the young
actors, who were well aplauded ior
their excellent rendition Of then

POLO|sTs
RETURN WITH CUP
THE INTERNATIONAL TROPHY
CROSSES OCEAN FOR FIRST
TIME SINCE 1909.
AMERICANS
Desperate Effort In Last Few Moments
Of Play Results In Penalization
For FouIing Their
Opponents.

Meadowbrook Club, Westbury, L. l.,
June 1.-THE international polo cup,
emblematic of the worlds champion
ship, will cross the ocean again, hav-
ing been won here Tuesday by the
English team in the second game of
the series by a. score of 4 to 2 3-4. AL
though the American defenders made
a desperate last ditch stand, they were
not quite equal to winning and thus
forcing the c%hallengers into a third
and deciding contest. Their thrilling
rushes both individually and as a team
in the closing minutes Of the struggle
aroused the 10000 spectators to a
frenzy, however. and no previous inter
national polo struggle ever closed I'M
der such tense and exciting conditions.
When the eighth and final period
opened the American four vas leading
by a fraction Of a point but despite
their desperate efforts they could not
quite hold the advantage. Each team
scored a goal in this period but the
defenders. In their anxiety to clinch
the. victory. transgressed the rules by
sharp crossing and were penalized for
fouling. And so it came about that
just as the sun sank Captain Barr$t
Of the Nottingham clubs successful
four was carried to the club house on
the shoulders Of the English cohorts,
bearing Union Jacks, and American
polo devotees began to discuss plans
for a 1915 invasion of England in a
fresh quest of the cup.
Can Still Play.
Although the trophy regained from
England in 1909 goes abroad as the
result Of today's defeat, the members
of the team gathered by Lord VIM
borne know tonight that Americans
can still play the game, even though
the Big Four IS no longer in existence.
Outplayed and utterly routed in the
opening contest when they went down
to defeat by a score of SH to 3. the
Americans came back in surprising
form and scored an equal number of
goals to those made by the winners. It
the desperate style of their play
and the lack of perfect team work that
finally wrought their downfall for they
lost in penalties 2 IA points out of a
gross five, while the English were pen
allied but one point, retaining four Of
their five goals.
