 POLO TITLE PLAY

Westbury, N. Y., Sept It. (UP) Makeup of the final round of the United States open polo champion ship was to be determined to-day with Santa Paula, premier team of Argentina meeting John Hay Whitneys pinkshirted Greentree four.
 One place in the final round was made safe for the United States when Stephen c'Laddie") Sam ford's championship Hurricane four yesterday eliminated the other Argentine entrant, Hurling- ham, by the unflattering score IS to 5.
 Sanford alone scored II goals which was more than twice as many as made by the Argentines.
 To-day's semi-final may prove to be the best game of the champion ship. While the polo expert who bases his predictions solely on form has nominated Santa Paula as an almost sure victor, there is some sentiment favoring the pink shirted brigade. Whitney's four will include G. H. CPete") Bost- wick, Thomas Hitchcock, Jr, and Stewart B. Iglehart.
