noon and the memory of that Amer
lean defeat at Meadow Brook, L. J.,
in 1914 was wiped out by the glorious
victory of 1921 here to-day.
Accurate hitting and better team
work made possible the ten goals
Devereux Milburn's quartet amassed
sgsinst Britain's six. The British
team was distinctly superior in horse
manship, but inability to hit accurate
II probably cost them the match,
though the victory, important as it
vas, was by no means such an Amer
can walkover as was that of last Sat
urday.
1t was clear case of better polo
training which enabled Americans in
London tonight to celebrate fittingly
Uncle SANS first victory over Great
Britain in this seasons list of inter
national sporting events. Although the
yictors opened the game with a rush
and never lost the lead they gained
in.the first chukker, there were times
when the visitors were distinctly out
played by the rejuvenated British
team.
But Americas big four-Milburn,
hitchcock, Stoddard and Webb-never
allowed the British to become danger
oGs except in the sixth chukker. when

fof few moments.
