Trophy

FINE GAME AT HURLINGHAM

the

London, June 21. The United States of America retained the Westchester Cup at Hurlingham, yesterday, when they beat England in second match of this year's series by eight goals to six. The match should have been played yesterday week, but had to be postponed on account of the wet state of the ground. Yester day the ground wore very well, but became rough enough in the latter half of the game to niake missing fairly frequent on both sides. America just about deserved to win, but there was little lat from start to finish.

The run of the play went very much as it had done in the first match. England. after scoring first, gradually slipped behind un- til early tri the fourth period, they were four goals town. Then came a fine rally, and when the final chukker was begun, Amerka' were leading by only one goal. England simply could not get the equalising goal, however, und Mr. Pedley made the issue safe for America two minutes from the end.

ENGLAND SCORE FIRST

England attacked from the throw-in, and a fine cross-shot by Mr. Balding, following a clever YUI: by Mr. Tyrrell-Martin," was only just wide of the mark. The hit out was met by Captain Guin- ness, who passed back to Mr. Hughes, and a great cheer an- nounced that England had taken the lead. Mr. Guest, who played magnificently throughout, had a long drive well cleared by Captain Guinness. and England were given a free hit from sixty" yards for a foul against Mr. Iglehart, How- ever. Mr. Balding's shot hit Mr. Guest's pony right in the goal- mouth, and the ball was scrambled away.

COOK'S DEFENCE

After Cooke had pleaded not guilty. Mr. P. H B Kent, of Tientsin, opened the defence. He would submit, he said, that tne prosecution's evidence containedĮ Inconsistencies of such a nature that he was confident, no conclu-

sion could be drawn against ac- cused. He was anxious to go fur- ther than establishing that cused was not guilty. He hoped to establish, to the satisfaction of all interested in the case, that, in those occurrences on the night of May 20, no British soldiers at all were concerned.
