Sport: Polo Cup

A reckless rescue party from Meadowbrook, headed by Devereux Milburn, dashed down International Field at Westbury, L. I., and saved the American open polo championship from another year of foreign bondage. (Last year it was rapt to the far Argentine.)

Four British Army officers were in the act of making off with the title. A burst of speed by the Meadow Brooks, a lively last-minute mélée, four well-placed shots and the day was won. Score: Meadowbrook 12, British Army 9.

Hard by Milburn rode Thomas Hitchcock, Jr., another seasoned internationalist. The two smote hip and thigh on defense and offense, Morgan Belmont and Robert Strawbridge, Jr., supporting.

In the British party, Colonel Melville was the spectacular figure. He laid on for King and country, smashing home seven goals singlehanded.

Majors Locke and Hurndall and Lieutenant Leaf played up with spirit but proved unequal to hurling back the American rush in the final chukker.
