KeiO aud Santa Clara
Cross Bats Next
Sunday

Next, Saturday and Sunday will
see what should prove the most in
teresting baseball which is to be put
up this season. The Punahous will
hook up with Keio and the Kams
with Santa Clara, while on Sunday
one game will be played, between
Keio and Santa Clara.
This IA ter game is the one which
the crowd has been waiting to see.
1t Is the meeting of the cream of two
continents, and Is the real thing in
international baseball. Both teams
are full of ginger, and are alike in
that they are alert for every advan-
tage which they can seize. When
they hook up, as clean and close
baseball as could be played ought to
result.
AS for the Saturday games, Puma
hou and Santa Clara are picked as
winners, but this is by no means an
assured thing. Keio men play better
ball as the time goes on. And the
Rams should come in and capture
something, If they refrain from
throwing the thing away.

Kauai Wins Second
Polo Game From
Oahu Players

Kauai polo team played Oahu to
defeat for the second time at Eben
Lows arena yesterday afternoon, in
game which was fought and fought
hard from start to finish, and which
closed with the score Ia to 2. At
all stages, the game was anybody's.
Kauai did not ride around the locals,
as was the case on Monday afternoon.
Team work and spirited fighting of
every turn of the game characterized
the match, and won the applause and
the enthusiasm of the small crowd
which was loyal enough to the sport
to have collected again in the grand
stand.
Fleming, with his fast pony NAL
let, and Fred. Angus played great
games for Oahu. c. Rice for the
visitors was right there all the time,
and was probably the best individual
player on the field. Mallet and the
Others of the Oahu horses formed an
aggregation which would be hard to
beat. and which doubtless was no
small factor in helping the locals to
hold their opponents to a close score.
In fact. Oahu had the best on the
horse proposition, It seemed. while
Kauai had the best of It in team
work.
In the first period. Kauai started
off with Il rush. and though Oahu
temporarily recovered the advantage
The Rice brothers soon had the ball
going down the field. and had put 1t
between the mosts almost as soon as
tho crowd realized that the thing
was coming. Nothing more was do

length of the field, scored nicely.
This gave Kauai their total score,

foul on Fleming, l2 points.
Kauai was on the defensive all
through the last period. Oahu short
ly scored one goal, which ended this
feature of the game. Kauai had a
Ia deducted Tor safety. Spectacu-
lar riding was done through all this
period.
The only accident of the game
amounted to little. Walter Dilling-
hams pony fell under him, but neith-
err man nor horse was much hurt.
Sam Baldwin umpired an unexcep-
tional game.
The lineup of the teams was:

son, Walter Dillingham; (captain),
and j. Fleming.
Kauai. Rice, J. Mallna, c. \.

Kauai protested against the first
goal made by Oahu. A change was
made In the rules for when period
should closc--when the whistle SCUM
ded or when the ball went out of
play--and Kauai was not notified.
They claim that the first goal for
the locals was made on this account.
