XRW YOHK, June 17 Tho West
Chester cucp, the much sought trophy
emblematic polo championship of tho
world, la stored today among the ef
fects of tho Hritish Invaders and Sat
urday will start on Its second trip
across the Atlantic.
The score of four seals to Ci by
which It was won told only a part of
the story of what experts declare to
have been the best game of polo
ever plajed. Victory for the chal
lengers was hardly won and well de
served and failure by tho defenders to
retain tho trophy while disappointing
for the moment, served to add Inter
est to the decision ot American polo
Ists to challenge for a match next
year.
Kxpresics Appreciation
In accepting tho cup from Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney after tho game
Lord Wlmborno expressed the hope
that there would be other Interna
tional matches In which ho mlKht
show an American team how much he
appreciated the spirit of sport he had
met here. That Lord Wlmborno will
havo this opportunity was virtually
assured when Harry I'ayno Whitney,
ft. T. Wilson, Andrew Miller and
others announced they would back a
movement to send a team to Kuglan-1
next yenr.
America's defeat yesterday may be
laid to the Intention-, of tho play of
the defenders, who In their anxiety to
retrlevo lost fortunes, repeatedly
became reckless and suffered penal
ties for a total of 2Vi points. Eng
land lost only one full point becaus?
of fouling.
Swept off their feet In tho first
two periods, the American four never
stopped fighting. They Improved as
the match progressed and toward the
end they had the brltlsh players on
tho defensive.
llccelpt for Games 9200,000
This "comeback" spirit ot the
Americans caused Lord Olmborne to
say that had the second game gono
to tho defenders ho did not believe
the visitors would havo won the third
game and the match.
Receipts for tho two games, It
was estimated today, would aggre
gate about 1200,000. whllo tho ox
lenses probably will not exceed a
quarter ot this amount. Last year
the polo association spent about 175,
000 for the new national polo field
at Narragansett J'lcr, and It was
expected that a part of this year's In
ternational receipts will bo set apart
for clubhouse and otlier expenses on
the new grounds.
Lord Wlmborno made several large
wagers and Is reported to have won
about 117,000 on the matches.
