American team went down 10 defeat
here today before the English chal-
lcugcrs IN the urst game OF the match
for the international polo cup 10y a
score of \ to 3 After the hrst furry
i'm tho opening period the defending
four We're outpluyed and Outsprnted
by the Hurhugham club rcprcsrnt-
atiyc, and the English ponies
The defeat came as great sur
prise 10 most of the 10000 spectators,
who had made the defenders 10 to Z
favortes in the wagering Thcy were
quick to appreciate the brilliant play
Of the invaders however, and the
stands rang with applause at the
work of the English riders.
The English players superiority be
came apparent with the bell IN the
opening period and IT appeared To
upset the defending four who never
recovered the form shown ma recent
practice games until the closing MN
utos of the game.
The challongcrs gave the finest eN-
hibtiou Of team work ever seen IN
an invading four Their stick work
was a rcyelauon The American four
was far more weak than was the case
last ypar. and I'm addition was called
ON To face team which surpassed IN
skill and speed tho combination
which just failed to lih the cup in
1913.
The absence Of former Captain
Harry PAYNE whitney appeared To
break up the perfect combination
play for which the big four has
been noted.
The Americans oyerrodc the ball,
missed easy strokes and were easily
ridden cCf by the other English op-
ponents. The English ponies were
faster on their feet and better
handled.
The play in general was fast and
without accidents. The score was the
largest run mp in recent years by
either the United states or English
teams i'm a cup match. Not since the
big Four" defeated the birmingham
club to iu the final game of the
1909 series have tOdays figures been
exceeded The game also developed
the quickest goal ever made in IN
ternational cup play when Captain
Chcape scored within 10 seconds after
the THROWN at the beginning of the
fourth period.
First period: The English defended
the south goal. Larry Waterbury
picked the ban out of the scrimmagc
but Captain TomlNnson quickly took
the bali and drove il for a goal so
