ENGLAND LOSE ANOTHER MEMORABLE MATCH
GUEST'S BRILLIANT DISPLAY
(By R. Sheepshanks)
London, June 22.
AMERICA beat England by 8 goals to 6 in the second international match at Hurlingham, and therefore retain possession of the Westches- ter Cup. As in the first match of the contest, the polo was of the highest standard throughout. The pace was very hot indeed; the hitting on a none too easy ground was always good, and the combination of both sides excellent.

The new champion, who is 30 years old, is of the lean, wiry type. He has a good swing forward and a long swing back, with a well drawn-out finish. He is undoubtedly a splendid stayer.
