BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. NTERNATIONAL FIELD, West- bury, N. Y., September 6 America, with another combi. nation of four young horse- men, riding like the centaurs of old, galloped off victorious today | In the first match with Great Brit- ain for the historic International Polo Cup. The final score was 10 to 5 in favor of the white-clad riders, led by Tommy Hitchcock, and it came close to being a com- plete rout in the final half. A crowd officially estimated at 45,000, the greatest that ever witnessed a polo match, saw the Americans come from behind, gain a lead of 5—3 in the first half and then, with a spectacular fin- ish, double their advantage in the last four periods. As a result of their decisive triumph, the American team now is a prohibi- tive favorite to capture the series in two straight games and successfully defend the trophy they have held for the past 10 years. It was the seventh straight vicf for the United States over England in cup competition since 1921. The second match is scheduled next Wednesday. The twin stars of today's triumph for America were Eric Pedley of Cali- fornia, playing at No. 1 in his first international match, and 22-year-old Earle A. S. Hopping, who justified his belated selection by Capt. Hitchcock for the vital No. 2 position by per- forming spectacularly. Pedley Scoring Leader. Bupported from the backfleld by their long-hitting captain, Hitchcock, and by the almost equally long-hitting, hard- riding Winston Guest, the American forward pair constantly harrassed the British defense. Pedley led both teams in scoring with five goals, four of them coming in the first period, and Hopping contributed three markers, in addition to hitting for tremendous dis- tances. Not only was Hopping a big factor on attack, but_he outrode and outgeneraled his star British opponent, Capt. “Pat” Roark, with surprising ef- fectiveness, v Roark, no match at rough riding for his 190-pound young opponent, Wwas revented from scoring a single goal gom the field, his one contribution to the scoring coming on a foul in the first period. With Roark falling .to display his customary ' brillianey, it ‘remained for the veteran Anglo-Argentine, 42-year- old Lewis L. Lacey, to save the British thoroughly routed in final half. Giving Hitchcock a keen tussle at every turn, Lacey broke| through to score three of the five Brit- | ish goals. He was the only Briton able to score throughout the last half and single-handed kept the American de- fense busy. U. S. Ponies Superior. At times the American ponies seemed much superior to their four-legged British rivals and gave the defenders an advantage that was hard to overcome. Bo convinced of this superiority was the American captain, apparently, that his first act after the final bell was to gallop over and congratulate his father, Thomas Hitcheock, sr., who is in charge of the ponies. British hopes ran high at the outset. Roark, on a penalty shot, was the. first | to score. The challengers led by 2-1/ at the end of the first period, as Lacey contributed a beautifully angled shot for goal, and it was 3-3 in the third chukker until the high-powered Ameri- can attack n to function. . a little erratic and perhaps nervous at the start, quickly struck his stride and tallled the goal that put the Americans in the lead, from which they . This was in the third period and in the fourth Pedley contributed his fourth goal on an assist from Hopping, to make it 5-3 for America at half time. Sixth Is Turning Point. It was stil! a battle in the fifth pe- rlod, as each side scored once on shots by Hopping and Lacey, but the turning | point came early in the sixth. Here| the British had a chance to close the| p on two successive free shots, the | first on a foul from 40 yards and the | second on a safety- from 60 yards.| Roark’s blows both were blocked, how- ever, and it did not take the ‘Yankee ‘counterattack long to produce results. For the rest of the game, Pedley, Hopping and Hitchcock kept up steady fire at the British goal, inte rupted only by several spectacular runs by Lacey, one of which the British star | ‘converted to goal after a 200-yard gallop. | The Americans missed more shots| than they made good. due to some fine | defensive work by Lacey as well as Roark and Lieut. Humphrey Guinness, but the British had their backs dis- tinctly to the goal posts most of the time, The Americans scored in every period, while the British were blanked in four. The jinx that has pursued the British in the form of injuries, costing them the services of three players prior to| today, was in evidence again. Both Balding and Roark were slightly hurt. Balding was thrown as his pony stumbled in the third period and Roark | was painfully _injured in the last chukker when hit in the side by the ball. Line-ups and Summary . P Great Brivein (5) No. 2..

'FRENCHMAN LOSES * TOYOUTHRUL BEL Texan Takes Great Match in Only Opening Day Upset in National Singles. BY TED VOSBURGH, Associated Press Sports Writer. OREST HILLS, N. Y., Septem- ber 6.—They did not “seed” our Berkeley Bell. They tossed him into the thick of | the fight without benefit . of “seedings,” and this afternoon, in one of the greatest first-round matches ever seen in a national tennis championship tournament, the dynamic young Texan proved it was all a mistake by beating the great Jean Borotra of France, 3—6, 6—2, 12—10, 7—5. The slender, 22-year-old kid from Austin was not considered good enough by the Tournament Committee to be included on the list of 12 Americans selected for favorable positions in the draw, but he played today like nobody’s business to blast out of the tournament a player who still ranks among the three greatest under the sun. Bell left no doubt in the mind of the enthusiastic gallery of 7,000 as to why he was ranked ninth among the players of the Nation last year and how he was able to force Henri Cochet to five sets at Wimbledon this Summer. Luck of the Draw. Borotra, treated shabbily by fate in drawing the dangerous Bell for an open- ing opponent while other favorites faced comparative push-overs, battled with all the stre in his siender, graceful frame and all the courage of his justly famous fighting heart, but Bell had 10 years more of youth on his side of the net and he Prevnled. ‘The downfall of the great Frenchman in the very first round of the forty- ninth -‘annual singles championship cost the tournament one of its greatest drawing cards and probably meant that Borotra never wil achieve his ambition of winning the American title, the one t national crown which has eluded rapier racquet. The Basque, now 32 years old, says he is nearing the end of his international career. Outside of the elimination of Borotra, the No. 1 seeded player among the for- eign contestants, the day’s play provided few surprises, as is usually the case. In a tournament in which the leading contenders are prevented by the “seed- ing” from meeting until the later rounds the favorites generally advanced ; without difficulty. Tilden Has Walkover. Big Bill Tilden, in quest of his eighth national singles title, won as he pleased | from C. Lincoln Halberstadt, 8 com- | paratively obscure New York player, , 6—0, 3 Sidney B. Wood, the New York | youngster, whom Tilden regards as the best, prospect of the rising generation, | smothered Weller B. Evans of East| Orange, N. J, 6—1, 6—2, 6—0. Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena, Calif.; | Bryan Grant of Atlanta and Clifford Sutter of New Orleans, three more young men whose prospects for future greatness are regarded highly, came through with first-round victories, but Sutter, playing poorly, narrowly escaped | elimination. Arrayed against Arthur W. MacPher- son of New York, a player of no na- tional reputation, Sutter was forced to go five sets before he finally won b; scores of 5—17, 6—4, 6—2, 2—6, 6—1. ‘The Tulane University player, who won the intercollegiate championship of the United States last June, was sadly lack- ng in control and will need to be back in form on Monday when he meets Emmett Pare of Dayton, Ohio, former national clay court title holder. Grani’s victory was gained over Cedric Major, New York, 6—I1, 7--5, 10—8, while Vines downed Ralph M. | Demott of Atlanta, 6—3, 7—35, 6—3. Van Ryn Beats Jones. The only other player on the Ameri- can seeded list to see action was John Van Ryn of East Orange, N. J., Davis Cup doubles player, who eliminated the formidable Arnold Jones of Providence, R. L, in decisive style, 6—0, 6—2, 6—2. The other leading Americans such as Wilmer Allison, George Lott, John Doeg, Gregory Manging, Frank Hunter and Prank Shields will not see action until Monday, having drawn byes in the first round. In addition to losing Borotra, the | foreign seeded list suffered a minor dent when L. A. Godfree, vetgran cap- tain of the English contingent, was put | out by Arthur S. Fowler of Pleasant- ville, N. Y., the man who upset Frank Shizlds about three weeks ago. G. Littleton Rogers, 6 foot 7 inch giant from Ireland, made a debut as impressive as his height, trimming Ed- ward E, Jenkins, jr., of New York, 6—1, 8—6, 6—3 despite numerous interludes of good-natured clowning. Bell, now that he has beaten Borotra, encounters Pritz Mercur, sixth ranking player of the United States in *I second round. Like Bell, Mercur was passed by when the “seeding” was done on the ground that he was not so good this year. The schedule of stadium matches for Monday follows: 12:30 p. m. (E. 8. T), David N.

CHAMPIONSHIP SWIMMING MEET YESTERDAY GALLANT FOX NOW TURF'S MONEY KING Outruns Questionnaire by Inches at Belmont to Earn $26,610 More. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, September 6.—Ris- ing to financial heights here- 1 tofore unknown to American turf, William Woodward's Gal- lant Fox, the 3-year-old champlon, to- day won the Lawrence Realization to climax a brilliant career that carried him from the rank of a mediocre juve- nile to the greatest money winner of all time. Victorlous in two races as a juvenile and six out of seven starts in a sensa- tional 3-year-old campaign, the Fox has amassed $317,865, the last $26,610 of which was earned today, In annexing the money-winning title the -great son of Sir Gallahad III passed the former record of $313,639 held by the Rancocas Stable’s Zev, financial sensation of 1923, ‘Wins by Nose. 1t was only by a margin of a nose that the Fox managed to beat out James Butler's Questionnaire over the mile and five furlongs, but it was a wealthy margain for the colt that has won every important 3-year-old stake, with the exception of the Travers, and in addition has accounted for the Sara- Questionnaire was every inch of a champion today, but in the end it was Earl Sande's riding edge over Sonny Workman that spelled victory for_the Woodward ace and defeat for the But- ler colt, which came up to the Law- rence Realization with a record of seven successive triumphs.

The Johnson band still is shooting for the flag, determined to scrap with the A’s to the finish, and tomorrow it also will be after the season series edge over the world champs. The Jeague leaders and the runner-up club have fought to an even break in their 20 meetings. Sam Jones is to do the hurling for the Nationals. He was sent home from New York Priday night that he might be well rested for Sunday's tilting. Jones has been quite effective against tussles with them. ‘There's no telling who will do the hurling for the A’s. Connie Mack has juggled his pitchers oddly the past week. Some have toiled almost daily. 1f possible Mack will pick a southpaw, for he believes a left-hander can wreck the Washington club. However, neither George Walberg nor Bob Grove was able to do so the last time out against the Nationals. | “'While there has been a big advance | sale of tickets for Sunday’s ergagement |in Grifith Stadium, therell be an abundance of room for the late comers. The stadium gates will be opened at 1 o'clock for the accommodation of those fans who like to see the clubs in the pre-game drills, as well as in the regu- lar tussle. UNDAY'S game in Washington will be nmext to the last this season for the Nationals on their home lot. Shortly after the clash with the world champs the Washington club will en- train for St. Louis, where on Tuesday it will start its last invasion of the West this campaign. The Nationals are scheduled to play 13 games in the far | sector of the league, then will move to | Boston for a four-game set with the Red Sox. After that will come the final battle of the season with the A.'s, to be played in Washington on Sunday, September 28. | | ROUGHED BY RUFFING WASHINGTON. Myer, 2b 8. Rice, ef | Manush, 1f.

'HEN the Nationals leave Detroit to swing East late this month, they may stop over in Hartford, Conn., for an exhibition game, For several years a Hartford War Veterans’ organization has endeavored ‘to have the Washington club stage an exhibi tion tilt in its city, but not until this season was the schedule favorable to such a project. The Nationals will fin- ish their series in Detroit on a Sun- day and will not open their four-game set in Boston until the following Wed- nesday, which will give plenty of time for the exhibition. Of course, nothing definite will be arranged until the pen- nant fight is decided.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS. Wins Junior| RUFFING GETS 32 | EDGE OVER BROWN Yanks Bunch Blows Better| to Notch Fifth Win in 22 Tilts With Nats. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, September 6.— Charley Ruffing’s pitching was a bit too much for the Nationals today, so they wound up their tussling with the Yankees this year by taking a 3- to-2 defeat. They collected seven | safeties and a pass off Ruffing, while the Yanks got only six hits and two passes off Lloyd Brown, who left-handed a_clever game. However, the New Yorkers man- aged to cluster three of their hits in the fourth frame and the clus- ter was good for two tallies, which decided the battle. Homers gave the clubs their first markers. Lou Gehrig socked one in the second inning and Joe Judge clouted one in the fourth. Both were drives into the stands. The Nationals got their second counter in the seventh, when they bunched two blows. The defeat left the Nationals with an even break in their four-game set here, but it.was only the Yankees' fifth victory in 22 starts against the Wash- ington club this season. By taking two games here the Nationals just about sewed up second place for themselves if they are to get nothing better. They now are ahead of the third- place Yankees 7', games, with 19 to play to fimish their string. Should the Yankees win their remaining 20 games, | the Nationals would finish second by taking 13 of their last 19 engagements. Looks as though the Johnson band has :l:ve.;unner-up place quite safely tucked Gehrig's thirty-eighth homer of the campaign gave the Yankees an ed..: on the Nationals early in the pastiming.

A, retired, of Bethesda, Md., is a student at West- erm High School and also is a clever basket ball and tennis player and an accomplished horsewoman. = She holds the District women's indoor breast- stroke and diving titles. She learned to swim in the Edgemoor, Md, Club pool. Belmar Shepley Stars. Belmar H. Shepley of the Capitol Athletic Club, with 10 points, also was another conspicuous individual per- former. She swept in ahead in both the 50 and 100 yard free style events. Miss Shepley got her first s g experience in the Canal Zone. Lois Bates, Washington Swimming Club, also showed strongly. She tri- umphed in the low board diving and was second in the 100-yard free style. Among the men Robert R. (Bob) Darnell, with eight points, was the leading scorer. Darnell, former Uni- versity of Michigan crack, holder of the ‘Western Conference 100-yard free style record and national intercollegiate champion in this event in’ 1927 and 1928, flashed in a winner in the 50-yard free style, conquering George Groff in exciting competition. However, in the first event of the afternoon, the 200- yard free style, Darnell was beaten out for first place by Beverly R. Carter, Central High natator, who overcame a substantial lead held by Darnell in the final 25 yards and swept on to triumph by three yards. This was the most dramatic struggle of the afternoon. Dar- nell has done little swimming recently because of an operation and was not in the best condition. Paul Couper Wins. Other closely contested races in- cluded the women’s 50-yard backstroke in which Miss Lawrence was a winner by inches over Lenora Taube, also of ashington Swimming Club; the 50- yard free style for boys under 16, in which Paul Couper barely beat out Earle Pielding, jr., and the 50-yard free style for pirls under 16, in which Evan- geline Rice, daughter of Fred Rice, former Catholic University basket ball coach, finished ahead of Lois Bates in a great battle. An exhibition of life - saving by the D. C. Red Cross Chapter, under the direction of Instructor Ira Lee Law, was an interesting feature. ‘Winfree Johnson, athletic director of the Welfare and Recreational Associa- tion of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, under the auspices of which the events were conducted, was aided by a group of experienced assist- its the meet was handled in fine Championship Events.
