wv riding -four horsemen,"
v mounted on their famed
winged steeds from the land Of the
pampas, battered and shattered all
tradition today as they rode away
with the cherished Americas Cup, en-
blem of international team polo su-
premacy
As $4,000 spectators, second largest
throng to watch q pol omatch in this
country's history, shivered. from the
cold southeasterly blasts that swept
International Field and applauded
the daring Of the invaders. the hard.
riding Gauchos clinched their triumph
by crushing Greentree, United States
team champion, 8 to 4, for the second
successive time.
The triumph. following up last
Sundays 2l-to-9 rout, marked the
first time in % years that the United
States has been defeated in interna-
tional polo competition. England's
great four, led by the immortal Leslie
Cheape, was the last to turn the
trick, winning the Westchester Cup
back In 1914.
The Gauchos, wild-riding men all,
who don't seem to give hang for
possible broken legs as they jam their
way into horsefiesh. can thank prob
ably the f1eetest polo ponies ever
herded together for their decisive,
straight match victory. Greentree's
stars. headed by Tommy Hitchcock
and G. H. (Pete) Bostwick. were a
close match Of the riders from the
Argentine and their passing and shots
were just as precise. But the ponies
they were the big difference.
American Ponies Outrun.
EAR faster and even more polo
wise-so it seemed-the Argentine
ponies OUTRAGED the American ponies
like the great Man O. War once over
took his blueblood challengers. Time
and again today. as the crowd stood
up and yelled for goal, the little
ponies from the pampas regions
would break the rooters' hearts with
lightning speed. No less than 10
American threats headed out into
the open with no blue-shirted Gaucho
in the way. only to be shattered by
lightning footed chargers which never
seemed to get enough of running
The Gauchos, too, rated their prize
ponies superbly, taking their lead with
two lightning thrusts in the first two
minutes of play and then resting them
with defensive play until they saw
their opening. Then they drove in
and once in front with the willow ball
they never were overtaken on the
straightaway.
Luis Duggan. mounted on the fast
est ponies of all. led the Argentine
attack today, scoring three goals. No
sooner had the game begun than he
cornered the willow and broke into the
clear with it. So fast did he streak
sway that he had a 30-yard lead as
he nursed the ball along and then
Clipped it across leisurely. Duggan
shared the ball again and passed it
to Roberto Cavanagfl, who crossed the
Held and took it over without trouble.
Bostwick gave great exhibition Of
ball sticking near the close Of the
period as he survived some bad bump
ing and scored Americas first goal.
Fourth Chukker Is Hot.
CREENTREE was blanked in the
second and third chukkers as
Andrew Gazzotti salloped the entire
length Of International Field to tally
with fast riding in the second and
Duegan counted again in the third.
The fourth chukker saw the hardest
and roughest riding of the match,
with Gazzotti and Bostwick scoring.
There was some hope in the fifth
when Hitchcock scored to cut Green
trees handicap to 3-5 but the Ar
gentines opened up in the sixth with
two rapid-f1re goals in the final two
minutes-one by Duggan on a long,
angular pass from Gazzotti and the
other by Cavanagh. That broke the
last hope of Greentree.
Hitchcock, slightly off his game,
scored on only one free shot in four
chances or the result might have
been closer.
