The game started with the visitors
at the sea goal, with a vigor that was
kept up throughout the match, even
when defeat stared the tigers" in the
face. Play was pushed by the Oahu
I,
distinguished by brilliancy, rather
than the concerted play of older hands
at the game. This was promptly no.
ticed by the men from Maui, who
taking things much more easy by the
confidence born of patience and expe-
rience, took their time in placing the
ball before the stroke. While this
method proved on the whole advan-
tageous, towards the end of the game
the fresher mounted boys in blue
sneaked away the ball several times
during the placing process. The fire.
quent out bounds plays We're gen.
orally due to the wilder strokes of the
Oahu team.
The Maui ponies, until they got tired
out, played much better polo than the
Island horses, although the lack OF
condition consequent on their sea trip,
told terribly on them toward the fin
ish.
The coaching of Won Tempsky show
ed good generalship, and the captain
also, put up capital game. little
weak towards the end, but then more
the fault of his pony's condition than
his own. Copp did consistent work
throughout the game, being excellently
mounted, and Lindsay, handicapped
by the loginess of a pinto horse, play
ed up strongly toward the close, for
Maui.
The visitors had decidedly the best
of the first period, scoring three goals
to Oahu's one.
The fresher mounts of the home
team, who had also more relay ponies
than the tigers" now began to tell.
and the score was rapidly tied, c. Judd
and Damon doing the best work for
Oahu.
The crowd was very silent during the
gaining of the next goal. The sun was
throwing the shadows of the players in
long, grotesque silhouettes across the
grass, and glaring directly into the
faces of the Maui team, who held the
mountain goal. AS the heavily breath
ing ponies raced over the grass, al
ways in the vicinity of the visitors
ers and the crack of the mallets sound
ed distinctly. The Maui ponies were
now distinctly outclassed, but with
their riders, made a gallant endeavor
to make up for their lost speed by
quick maneuvering. To no avail, how
ever. Time after time the ball shot
toward the Maui goal, followed in
echelon by the three forwards of the
home team, the visitors ponies hope
lessly, but CALAMITY, trying to overtake
or even keep up with them. Unlike
the close shaves that marked many a
hardly contested goal in the first pc
riod, every shot for goal now went
unerringly between the flags, and the
bell sounded knell for the hopes of
the Mauians with the score at to 3.
