the goal was reached Krumbhaar with
a beautiful back hand stroke hit the
ball out of danger, but it was in Dill
linghams reach and he sent it with ter
rible force through the posts for an
other goal. The next goal was fought
for in Oahus territory and many a
time Fleming and DR.. Baldwin saved
the day but finally Sam Baldwin with
steady aim sent the bail across the line
for one more goal.
In the last few minutes of play Dill
bingham made a fine run nearly the
length of the field only hitting the ball
four times and scoring again for the
local team. In the last few seconds of
play Sam Baldwin riding like mad be-
hind his brother Frank scored again
for Maui.
In the second period Shingle scored
again for his team and a little while
afterwards Fleming again scored for
his team. Frank Baldwin had what
looked like an easy chance to secure
but missed, and after pretty ride OF
Single, followed closely by Dilling-
ham Oahu was able to score again.
Nothing very exciting happened dur
ing the rest of the period except the
run of John Fleming the length of the
field but his try for goal was blocked
by the fine work of Frank Baldwin,
and the period ended with the score
ga in Oahus favor.
The third period started with
Krumbhaar making a beautiful run but
his effort to make a goal was Ruthless
and his team mate Fleming came to his
aid and placed the ball through for
another tally. A minute after play
was started Single made another goal
and missed still another chance tc
score. Dillingham; made a dandy ride
nearly the length of the field and il
was at this time that he suffered a
fall from his horse that resulted in his
injury. Krumbhaar tied the score
after a beautiful ride of the field, and

spectators to applaud with a good deal
