EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic page from The Tatler, dated 1914, reports on the momentous victory of the English polo team, affectionately known as the 'Bigger Four,' against their American counterparts, the 'Big Four,' in the International Polo Trophy (Westchester Cup) held in June of that year. The English team, consisting of Captains Lockett, Barrett, Cheape, and Tomkinson, are seen in the top photograph, triumphantly mounted on their ponies at Meadowbank. Their opponents, the Americans, had earned their moniker due to the prominence and wealth of their players. The bottom photograph captures the jubilant scene among the England supporters. Among them are Mr. H.W. Barrett, Lady Wimborne, the Duke of Penderanda, Mrs. Traill, and Mr. John Traill, the reserve man. The excitement and anticipation leading up to the match were palpable, with the English team determined to secure the coveted trophy. The victory marked a significant moment in the history of polo, with England emerging as the undisputed champions on the international stage. This evocative image provides a glimpse into the grandeur and camaraderie of polo in the early 20th century.
