Rivalry between the two South American teams entered in this year's Open Polo Championship was a shade more than friendly. The Santa Paula Team, which won the Pacific Coast Open in 1930, arrived first, played at Chicago and Detroit this summer. The Anglo-Argentine Hurlingham team got to Westbury, N. Y. just in time to steal some of Santa Paula's thunder. If they played brilliantly in the Open, their accomplishments might have affected the enthusiasm with which U. S. buyers would bid for the spare-limbed, light-footed, cattle-trained ponies Santa Paula had brought with...
Hurricanes, defending champions, smothered Hurlingham in a semifinal, 18 to 5. The day Santa Paula played the Hurricanes for the championship, thousands of excited Latin-Americans crowded the Avenida de Mayo in Buenos Aires to hear cabled accounts of the game relayed to them by an announcer...
...only 10-goal player, Capt. Charles Thomas Irvine Roark, at No. 3. No. 1 man and captain was Stephen ("Laddie") Sanford; back, selected after two others had been tried, was Terence Preece, who learned the game at Westbury where his father deals in polo ponies and hunters.

Santa Paula, riding wildly to get a lead that might serve them when Andrada's swollen hand hurt him too much to be useful, made three goals before the Hurricanes got one. They stayed ahead till Guest tied the score at 4-all. It was tied again at 5-all, 6-all, 7-all. Santa Paula was a goal ahead when...
...Aiken Polo Team: four pieces of silver plate, emblematic of beating Santa Paula in a series of international matches at Chicago. Old Aiken won the first match, 14 to 11 (TIME, July 20); Santa Paula won the second 11 to 8 when Stewart Iglehart, Old Aiken No. 3, fell ill. Fifty-three-year-old James Cooley, substitute No. 1 for Old Aiken, made the deciding goal in the last minute of the last match. Score...
