Will Be FINE GAME
PROMISE OF FAST PLAY
IN TONIC crows MATCH
POLO MEN READY FOR A CONTEST
THAT WILL TAX POWERS OF
BOTH KAUAI AND
OAHU.

The polo match between Oahu and
Kauai at Moanalua tomorrow after.
poon, will begin promptly at $3.50
o'clock. Both teams have been doing
very hard work since Saturday last
and it is the opinion of all those who
have watched the indications that the
second contest for supremacy will re-
suit in much closer play than on the
occasion of the first match.
PROFESSIONALLY. the Oahuans we're
the superior team in the match OF Sat.
urday last, Kaual's team work was
not at all good and where there is so
much individual playing. victory. Is
sure to move beyond the grasp of the
anxious.
The Saptaining Of Dillingham; was
something worthy OF emulation. His
commands were distinctly given and
the alertness of Dole, Castle and Akin
son rendered them capable of obeying
on the instant. This superior captain
ing Is what piled up the score for the
home boys.
The visitors, on the other hand
seemed always to be in doubt as to
what they should do and Captain Rice
vas very seldom heard to give orders
to his players. The result was some
very brilliant individual plays with
team work RELOCATED to the back
ground. However. ii mus; he said to
the credit of the Kauaians that they
! did rally remarkably we'll in the third
and fourth periods. particularly in the
latter.
The visitors have profited by the mis-.
takes made in the game of Saturday
and II Is expected of them that they
will do something for the Garden Isle
In the contest tomorrow In fact, there
will really be gladness instead of gloom
in the camp of the local players to-
morrow II the Kauai men should win
out.
The visitors are also lacking in their
ability to catch ball on the back
stroke, something the Oahu men have
down to fine point. Again. they are
bad In getting ball out of a scrim-
mage, depending altogether too much
on their opponents.
However, with the work of yesterday
"a good many of the rough edges have
been worn off and the Kauai men will
be in far better shape tomorrow.
