Last week Hughes scored the first goal of what British experts later called the most exciting polo game ever played on British soil. Thereafter, the U.

When, in the fourth chukker, chunky little Hughes poked the ball between the posts three times, England was only a goal behind. When Guinness scored again for England in the sixth, the score was tied at 7-all, and what...
