POLO AT THE Park HOME RULERS PLAN'
LAWYERS AND BUSINESS MEN
WILL PLAY.
Last Saturdays Game to BE Played off
mixers and Artillery Teams Need
Men.

The polo game postponed last Satur-
day ON account of the bad condition Of
the ground will be played out tomor-
row al,ernoon at Kapiolani Park at
half past three between the Lawyers
and the Business Men. The game reg
ularly scheduled for tomorrow was be-
tween the mixers and the Artillery
tean.s.
Both of these have a man short, DIT.
McAdory having resigned from the club
and Rice of the mixers having left for
| Kauai where ne win probably play on
the Kauai team for a while. No sub
stitutes have yet been appointed and
Atkinson of the mixers is also in
| capacitated temporarily from even
walking on account of the strained liga-
| ment injured i'm Wednesdays spill from
his pony.
Tomorrow's teams will play as fol-
| lows: Business Mem II. Dickey j. T.
| Irvine, John Erdman and George An
| gus, Lawyers: A. r. Judd, A. w. Car
ter, A. Perry and G. A. Dole.
The loss of Rice from the Honolulu
association will it is to be hoped, be
only temporary as it robs the league
of one of its best players. Three men
are easily the three best players in the
league, Dole, Dillingham; and Rice, then
come five or six from whom it will be
hard to pick out a fourth. The play Of
these are being closely watched in pre-
paration for the team to be picked to
play against Maui later on. Rice's
defalcation will materially weaken the
Honolulu team as he is liable to get out
of practice on Kauai. Angus, who has
been improving greatly of late, playing
an excellnt game on Wednesday, is a
promising aspirant for the representa-
tive quartet and Atkinson, a good
horseman and judge of direction is
! liable to be included. The players who
use their head will be selected rather
| than the more brilliant performers VINO
occasionally get in a long shot and run
all over the ball carrying it down.
Dillingham; for example was handi-
capped in the New Years game by lne
| player, whose place it was to ride win
| judgment in readiness to support him in
emergency or take the ball, riding close
to his pony's crupper in a position of
absolute inutility rather than some dis
lance ahead or behind.
On present showing, the best Homo
! lulu team should line up about as fol-
lows: Dole, back; Dillingham;, three;
Rice, on the ball, and Atkinson or An
! gus at 2. Maui wOulo get a harA rub
from this combination although they
have been doing some tall practicing up
there by all accounts and will fight hard
to retain their former ascendancy.
The Honolulu boys will be better
mounted this time than on the previous
matches, although there are one or two
ponies yet that do not behave them
selves as they ought. One of Dilling-
hams ponies tries hard to race when
ever he is started going and one of
Hancocks ponies, on which Dole was
mounted during one period on Wednes-
day, jumps far too much to guarantee
good hitting.
The Healanis are endeavoring to get
a benefit game from the Reds and the
I--ues and there is some possibility of a
return match, then, should the Reds
win, d third wOuu be played to settle
the supremacy. The return match
would undoubtedly bring out a bis
crowd again on account of close scoring
and there is a good chance of the Reds
scoring as, without detracting from tn,
good work put up by the Blues, the!
had good luck on their side in the las
game in blocking balls in the air OF Of
tie ground by merely putting out thei
mallets and the long shot of one payer
while star performance was after all
good deal of a fluke.
