WEST CHECKS EAST
IN FIRST POLO TEST
Crowd of $1,000 Sees Upset
in Opening Play for
National Title.
BY WILLIAM WEEKES,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

~HICAGO, August 14.-Polo
as they play it in the Far
~ West today was one up on
the more famous Eastern
brand in their first intersectional
series for United States suprem-
acy.
The WesternersNC Smith, who
refused to quit even after being thrown
and rolled on by his mount; his fellow
Texan, H. w. "Rube" Williams, and
the Californians, Alden Roark and Ell
mer Boeseke. jr., went out yesterday in
the opening match Of the series at On
wentsia Club and trimmed Hitchcock
and his men, IS to IL, contrary to all
expectations, before $4,000 tingling
spectators
Lack Of drill together-they had
practiced as team only four times
failed to bother the plainsmen. Right
from the start they rode the Fasteners
all over the place, crowded them on
every play, and. except for a brief mo-
ment in the second period, had the
advantage in scoring. Hitchcock, ranked
as the worlds greatest, rallied his men
in the sixth and seventh periods, but
the West had enough stuff left to meet
them goal for goal in the final frame
Shine DefensiveIy, Too.
ITO 60 with their raging riding for
goals, the Westerners produced
equally brilliant defensive play.
When the Eastern attack continued to
get away from Smith and Boeseke, 1t
ran smack into the imperturbable Will
llams, who made seemingly impossible
saves. Williams long. lofty drives also
started his team off on scoring raids.
Smith was the chief scorer by his
uncanny ability to make good on foul
attempts. He looped five out of his
nrst SIX opportunities overhead, well
out OF reach of defensive mallets for
scores. and in the final period executed
an underline belly shot while galloping
at full speed, for his teams final goal.
He fed Roark and Boeseke with nice
setup shots, and with Williams, thWart-
ed numerous fine scoring tries by the
Hitchcock forces.
If the officials had had their way,
Smith would not have finished the
match. In the fifth period he was
thrown by Texas Beauty, which rolled
over him. He was unconscious for sew
eral minutes and 1t was not until after
a 43-mlnute delay that he talked him.
self back into action.
Hitchcock was everywhere and at
times appeared too good for his team
mates, Michael Phipps and the Guest
brothers, Winston and Raymond. He
smashed in five goals for runner-up
honors in scoring.
The second match will be played
Wednesday afternoon and the third,
If necessary, next Sunday.
