WESTBURY, N. Y., Sept. 13.--- America began the defense of the in ternational challenge cup today with q smashing, one-sided victory over Great Britain in the first match of the series for this historic emblem of polo supremacy.
 A .colorful crowd of 35,0O0 that in. cluded the Prince of Wales and host of other notables saw the Yankee riders overwhelm the invaders with a spectac- ular attack and win by the record breaking score of 16 to 5. Only a sparkling rally in the last two periods, in n-which the British scored four goals, chiefly through, the individual bril- liance of their Anglo-Argentine back, Louis Lacey, saved the challengers from complete rout.
 The score rolled by the Americans, with Tommy Hitchcock and Malcolm Stevenson leading the attack that swept all before it for the first six periods, was the largest that has ever been re- corded in the 3S years the. challenge trophy has been in competition. Their winning margin has been exceeded only once. That was in the second game of the first series, in 1886 when the British were victorious by 14 to 2.

 Stern public order will be main tained," says an official statement. '"The government is watching the sit uation closely"
 The cabinet has received compre- hensive report on the internal situation, as well as a report on the measures being taken to preserve order, from Luigi Federzeni, minister of the inte- rior.
 Meanwhile all provincial projects have been ordered to increase their viz ilance and fascist leaders have notified their organizations in the provinces that no reprisals against the commuu- ists for the Casalini murder will be tolerated.
 Giovanni Corvi, the assassin of Casa lini, has now given police detailed story of how he trailed the deputy for five days before shooting him down in a street car.
 II acted from purely personal mo. rtives to a. ,nge the death of Matteoti, he said. q selected Casalini because I thought he was a fascist leader of the sama importance in that party that Matteod held in the socialist party.
 q followed Casalini for five days. watching an opportunity to kill him. l was determined not to act until sure of success. Uasalini never harmed me and did not know him personally"

startling kind of an upset, can pre- vent the Americans from flashing to another triumph next Tuesday and clinch its possession of the challenge cup once more. Regardless of the out come of the next game however, third will be contested, probably next Sat urday. The American triumph, how ever, came close to being costly in the link in the Big Four" who had been a bulwark on both attack and fense was thrown heavily as his pony, Aguila, stumbled in charge down the field ~ Stevenson suffered slight concus- sion of the brain in the fall and will be unable to compete in future games.
 For the rest of the game his place was taken by R. k. Strawbridge, Jr., who tallied America's final goal by way of showing the teams strength had not suffered by the mishap.
 Lacey, who led an Argentine team to victory in the American open championship two years ago, was the individual star of the game, heroic fig ure in the overflowing cup of British defeat. But for his spectacular riding and hitting, the challengers would have been sent down to even more crushing reversal.
 For six periods Lacey, with only spasmodic aid from his team mates, tried gallantly but largely in vain, to check the rush of the Yankees, who outclassed their rivals with the dash ing versatility of their attack, their

 These outstanding developments in the Warrior river service were amour ced Saturday night by General T. Q. Ashburn, manager of the service, prior to his departure for St. Louis and fol- lowing a trip of inspecting to Tusca- loosa with Robert A. Brown, one of his advisors.
 Authority was given for this an- nouncement by General Ashburn Sat urday night, as he was leaving, He said that the smaIlers details Of the plan had not been worked out but that this would be the solution of the En- sley Southern would operate the line for the inland waterways corporation.
 Assent Is Expected.
 The Birmingham southern is owned by the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road company, and it is expected that President George c. Crawford of the company, who is also president of the Birmingham Southern. will assent to the arrangements which have been ten- tatively drafted.
 General Ashburn added that the Bir- mingham Southern would receive freight at its Fourteenth street and First ave- nue station destined for the river line and operate the property.

 With the Ensley Southern in the hands of the Birmingham Southern, operated for the Inland Waterways. we think one of our most perplexing problems has been solved" said General Ashburn. The line is highly import ant to the proper development of the Warrior and I shall be most pleased to see the operations of that line in the hands of the Birmingham Southern. We will immediately install at Birming- port added facilities for loading as the system there is not fast or efficient enough.

 DAYTON, Ohio, Sept. 13.- Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith and his world-girdling fliers were in the homes of their friends here tonight after a tu- |multous and heartfelt welcome when they landed at McCook field at 5:33 p. rn., completing their APO mile hop from Wash ington.
 The first long leg of their transcontinental flight which will end in Seattlefi was made without incident, Lieutenant Smith said. The flight time was six hours and forty min- utes, low clouds encountered this side of Cumberland, Mary land, and fog near Uniontown, Pa, cutting down the running time.
 The fliers will remain here until Tuesday, according to the flight com mander, who said that new engines may be installed in two of the planes. The airmen will work all day tomorrow on their craft. s..
 Dayton "birth place of tlte airplane'' spared no pains to stageSa real hglu9s coming celebration for the six ayiators who were welcomed As fhe most sfts nous representatives 0f that industfyI for which the city is most noted.
 The Boston II, carrying Lieutenants Wade and H. Ogden, was the first to land. Then came the New Orleans, with Lieutenants Nelson and Harding Lieutenant Smiths flagship. the Chi cago, was the last to taxi into posi- tion. His flight companSon IS Lieu tenant Leslie Arnold.
 Wade and Ogden received vociferous welcome, but when Lieutenant Harding vaulted over the side of is plane, he was virtually smothered by cheering, shouting mechanicians and officers who hoisted him to their shoulders and staged a war dance of joy.
 Glad to get back" grinned Hard ing.
 While greetings were flying back and forth between the six flyers and their friends, they were hustled before cameramen, then lined up for few words of welcome from Mayor Hale. After that the men were loaded into automobiles and whisked to the home of Maj. J. F. Curry, cOmmandant of the field, where they received news papermen. They were left more or less to their own desires tonight, but were to visit" with Major Curry at his home.
 Not Tired-Hungry"
 'Tired? Lieutenant Smith was asked as he talked to Iie~spapermen on the Curry porch. More hungry" he smiled
 What was the hardest part of your trip?" he vas asked.
 "All of it," he shot back. Tt wasI just lot of hard work
 The flyers are being quartered at a local hotel. At their expressed wishes, little entertainment has been arranged for them. What they want particularly to do while here, they said, is to rest and renew friendships.
 Their planes were ~hilled into hang CTS at McCook field almost as soon as they left them, and mechanics swarmed over them to give the engines a com plete overhauling and servicing. Crews will work on the ships" all night, new men going on the job at mid night. Lieutenant Smith probably will decide tomorrow whether new engines will be installed or not. The next hop, to Chicago, is 175 miles, by air.

A great story about a great man

Koussevitsky, the most out standing orchestra conductor of modern times, is about to become conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He is the kind of conductor who stirs peo- pie to riot to gain admission to his performances. He is the kind of man who for years car ried his 100- piece orchestra 2,500 miles up and down the Volga river in his native Russia to let the remotest hamlets hear the greatest music. His following in Europe is of the enthusiastic sort usually created only by opera stars. In line with it's policy of giving all that is best and most author atative on music, The Age Herald today publishes the story of this remarkable man. No one who loves music should fail to read it.
