...playing has developed more slowly. This year, however, when Cousin Jock determined that Greentree should be the first team to win three Open Championships in a row, Sonny gave him cause for alarm. Sonny, with his Old Westbury team built around the other current U. S. 10-goaler, Stewart Iglehart, came through the summer with just as good a record. By the end of August Cousin Jock was sufficiently concerned to him Gene Tunney's oldtime trainer, Lou Fink, to give his teammates some pre-championship conditioning. When the Open tournament got underway, Old Westbury rode through its opposition...
When, on the opening throw-in of the eighth chukker Old Westbury's No. 2, Texan Cecil Smith, cut in abruptly to score, it looked like the end of Greentree's hopes-and it was. Iglehart and Balding succeeded in scoring another goal apiece, and Old Westbury won the match 11-to-6 for its first Open Championship...
...week, Greentree at least tried to repair the first defect. The second was irreparable. In arranging the series the U. S. Polo Association had agreed to let the winners of the U. S. Open Championship represent the country.

S. faith in its poloists seemed last week to depend on whether substitutions-specifically, Winston Guest for John Hay Whitney at Back and Stewart Iglehart for Gerald Balding at No. 2- could be made before the next game in the two-out-of-three series. What Argentina's reaction to such a move would be was promptly indicated by Lieut.-Colonel Enrique Padilla of the Argentine Polo Association when he heard of the proposal in Buenos...
...handicap is only 5, its Back. Minuscule Pete Bostwick plays No. 1. On paper the strongest team in the tournament (31 goals) is Templeton, which had a first-round bye. It includes three of the four players who beat England at Hurlingham in June-Winston Guest at Back, Stewart Iglehart at No. 3, Michael Phipps at No. 1. The only change-James Mills, onetime Yale captain, for Eric Pedley- should not greatly upset the combination...
