DOBERT f. sTRAwBRIDGE, JR.,

DOBERT f. STRAwBRIDGE, JR.,
~ was at No. on the winning
Cooperstown team in the first skirmish
for the open polo title at the Country
Club at Bala yesterday afternoon.
Robert E. .Strawbridge, Sr., was at
No. 4 on the losing Rockaway team In
this first match for the open crown.
All paternal affection was forgotten.
No favorites were played. 1t was
every one for himself
Father and son motored TO the game
together. The son rode in the front
seat with his mother. The father and
daughter occupied the rear scat.
Father left the car in front of the
clubhouse. The son drove it down the
line 100 yards, saw that it was care
fully parked and then lost himself in
the crowd that collected near the spot
where the ponies were quartered.
The Trap
Youthful Strawbridge was the first
poloist on the field. He took out. one

he was prepared.
Little did father know that he was
caught with his guard down. Son was
very familiar with fathers style Of
play. They had been teammates ir
many important games and were in.
innate with each others work.
But the aggressive youth put on,
over on father right at the start, anC
. it was the youths strategy which hac
father handicapped all the afternoon.
Father Caught
As the whistle sounded. calling the
players to the center of the field, young
Strawbridgc and G.. c. Rumscy trottcd
slowly forth. They were engaged in
conversation.
Watch father closely" confided the
youth. "He plays deep, very deep, ana
it's hard TO follow if you don't know
his style. You must"
But that was all that was audible

senior, all during the fray. The result
father was unable to do much. But
the youthful member of the family
romped at ease.
Hitchcock Stars
Perhaps this was the reason for the
failure of the Rockaway team to win
but again, there were other factors
which contributed to the Cooperstown
triumph. They were Tommy Hitch
cock. Jr., l.. T.. Stoddard and c. c..
Rumscy.
Hitchcock was the Milburn of the
afternoon. His driving was strong and
his placing accurate. He played dar-
ing, fearless game and paved the way
for the Cooperstown victory. He ac-
counted for three of the six goals cred e
tied to his team.
The final count was Cooperstown 6,
Rockaway 3ai.
Eddie (packard) Lewis saw his first
polo match of the tourney and was
much impressed. 1t was difficult to con
vince him that father and son were
on the opposing teams and if so. why
the hostility? Frank Mackin also was
puzzled.
