OF the riding in general it must be
characterized as fast. Many strokes re-
garded as misses must be credited as to
the rider who sometimes only by the
hardest work got up in time to throw
the would-be driver out of position for
the hit. In this sense the exhibition
was fine one and too much credit can
not be given to the local four for its
fine team work, which gave each man
knowledge just where his fellows We're

Dole cleverly caught it. He also got
+. Baldwin's drive and carried it down
field for a goal Maui had to take a
safety during the rallies. The play con-
tinued fast and hard, the ball going up
and down field. over the line at each
end. and finally Dillingham; with a long
drive out was able to follow on, picking
up a stop of Won Tempsky's and fore
ing the ball over for the third time.
There was a lively sCrimmage on the
next try, each man getting into the
| play, and in the fast work in front of
| the goal, +. Baldwin crossed Dillingham;
| for the first foul. The play following
was all Baldwin's however for he drove
| the length of the field, the ball striking
| one of the posts where Wilbur pushed
| 1t through for Mauis first count. In

| ing down and finally scoring, taking the

by a great cross drive from Shingles

| to add the next point, for the driving
was hard but not accurate. There were
| a half dozen crossings of the field and

ed by Single, but he at last got con-
troll and scored in quick time. There
