...central sparkle in one of the country's finest sporting panoramas. Custom dictates that the cup shall be at the field after one team has won one game. The score of the first game (10 to 5 for the U. S.) had made the second game seem a foregone conclusion. Largest score in international history, 14 to 9,* hung on the hooks when Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock Sr., matriarch of U. S. polo (almost run down by an importunate newsreel truck), watched Mrs. Charles H.
