heads ached from sheer excitement az
emotions broke loose.
Il seemed then that nothing could
rob this country Of the game and that
the cup might still be saved, but fall
ing back on a homely phrase, Inc
worst was yet to come"
The Americans fought 70 keep the
play along the side boards in safe ter
ritory. but the Englishmen, reused TO
fury, redoubled their efforts, II such
thing was possible to regain their lost
advantage. In a scrimmage over near
the east side OF the field. first one
PLAYER and then another missed when
suddenly the bail shot out toward the
American goal and there alone. as X
he had sensed the play, Major Barrett
was waiting. II was the easiest thing
in the world 10 drive the ball home, and
an American victory was suddenly
turned into an American defeat.
Just before the final goal, the whistle
blew indicating a foul, and 1t was i'm
posed against Milburn for crossing
which I-duced the score another half
point.
Small time was left, and in any
case the game by this time was be-
yond saving, but the battle ragged on
with the Americans making one last
desperate assault on the English goal,
Under the rules the game ended with
the gong. but the players, hearing not
or rocking not, continued for full
half minute, so reused were their
blood. so keen their spirit. One could
not help but recall the words of one
who wrote: side by side TO the end
they rode"
Even before the players could dis
mount. hundreds surged on the field,
particularly those OF British persua-
sion, set on showing their apprecia-
lion Of the victory and Of congratu-
lating Lord Wimborne and his men,
Waving their Union Jacks they sur
rounded Major Barrett and clamored
for Captain Cheape, and so 1t went
from one to another.
Lord Wimborns Gets the Cup.
Finally. Lord wimborne, to whose
logged determination, in the face OF
frightful Encouragement at home
England partially owes the victory
was recognized, and in reply to an
urgent demand for a speech, said:
Lets give three good old British
cheers for the team" The cheers were
given. too. and while hundreds rushed
of 10 trains and automobiles, other
hundreds stayed to see the cup given
over 20 the keeping Of Lord VIM
borne, who lost no time filling 1t 10
the brim.
Major Barrett said he had never
nlaved in a harder, faster game, and
was unstinted in his praise Of the won
derfui fight made by the American
team which came back so strongly
against what seemed like fearful ODDS
Captain Waterbury also had a good
word TO say Of the Britons, but the
other Americans had played them"
selves out 10 the last ounce, and were
10. tired and disappointed TO say any
thing. Their place was out OF sight
and they knew It.
Thousands Fill the Stands.
The crowd seemed bigger than on
Saturday and even more wonderful be-
cause Of the more frequent outbursts OF
feeling. he day also was equally tair'
hut half a gale Of wind, blowing out
Of the west, lent discomforting feat
IRE that was not appreciated by ire
women. whose skirts were whipped
about like so much flimsy gauze and
whose hats tugged at their moorinss'
so TO speak, in the most discomforting
way.
Not a seat was vacant in the STANDS
that rose up from three sides OF the
field and hundreds upon hundreds went
down with hope only Of finding point
Of vantage on the roofs Of the sheds
I'm one corner or on empty beer boxes
or packing cases at the ends OF the
stands or along the north side or the
field. These could catch only glimpes
OF the blood -tingling struggle, but they
lacked not in enthusiasm and joined
in the wild acclaim which greeted the
many ...illiant strokes and wild races
after the ball.
No camera could depict the scene
and It seems a pity, as It filled the eye
and satisfied the imagination. Sun
light flooded the wide stretch Of green
turf surrounded by the white side
boards and the stands that were q
mass Of color-green, scarlet, lavender
blue, yellow, white ana the more
sombre gray and black. The flags
along the top OF the stands were furled
because OF the swapping wind, but
these were hardly missed in the glory
OF gowns ard millinery which. as one
mere man remarked: Just passeth
understanding.
To the west Of tho Enclosure were
parked the automobiles; acres OF them
The Broadway limousine stood side by
side with the racy runabout, and show
they made which put Madison Square
Garden and the Grand Central Palace
20 shame. II was good day for the
motorist, as the rain OF the night be-
