Sports Of Our New Empire.
ON the Illustrated Sporting News

FROM the Illustrated sporting News
Hawaiian polo team will soon invade
San Francisco. and the new territory be-
comes a factor In the sports OF the nation
which casually picked UP this Jewel of the
Pacific on its march to the orient. The Ha-
waiians have played series OF games be-
tween teams from the islands Of Kauai and
Oahu to pick the invading team. and the
latter won two out of three. They will
play the crack Burlingame outfit of Califor-
MIA. 1t Is not to be assumed that this is q
native demonstration, for the Hawaiian polo
players are as likely lot of clean-run
young Americans as one can find, and they
know a lot about polo. This visit points to
future development of sporting relations
between Hawaii and her adopted mother
country. The climate is too warm for foot
ball, but many other forms of outdoor recre-
alton flourish the year around. Honolulu
sends scores of Its sons to Yale and Har-
ward, and they take back with them the
love of sport that shares with lectures and
text books the fruits of the diplomas from
the universities
