The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-09-02


just how the fortunes of the game were
going.
The splendid band of the Fifth Cav
airy played a series of selections
throughout the game and the light
breezy music seemed to just harmonic
with the picturesque setting of the
ground, the blue sky, the rare air, the
soft background of velvet mountains
and the "its-g ood-to-be-alive" spirit
which pervaded everything.
Shortly after three o'clock the teams
took the field, the Oahu colors being
blue and white and the Fifty Cavalry
being attired in white shirts with
yellow sashes and khaki brooches.
The line-ups were as follows
Oahu-Dr. Baldwin, No. Il S. Bald
win, No. 2; w. F. Dillingham;, No. 8;
J. L. Fleming, No. 4.
Fifth Cavalry-Lieut.. Groninger No
/; Lieut.. Hanson, No. 2; Lieut.. Queke-
meyer, No. 3; Capt. Forsythe, No. 4.
Lieutenant O'Connor officiated as re-
fierce and Lieut.. Stewart and j. S.
Walker acted as timekeepers.
Six periods of six minutes each were
played and there was five minutes in
PERMISSION between periods.
Oahu defended the Honolulu end.
The game started uncertainty and aft
er several men had muddled the ball
Hanson had a chance at goal but miss
ed. Fleming got possession and MAX
ing a fine run down the field carried
the ball in front of the cavalry goal,
falling however to knock it through.
Groninger raced up the field with the
ball and looked to have matters all
his own way till skilfully ridden off
by Dillingham;. 1t was a good period
and the game looked to be anybody's
at it's completion. People who had
been wagering two to one on the Oahu
team hasteneu to hedge. DIR. Bald
wins playing at No. l was a feature
of the period.
The second period saw the ball put
in play near the town end DR.. Bald
win and Dillingham; ran the ball down
the field and Quekemeyer saved clever
ly right in the mouth of the goal.
Fleming got a whack at the bamboo
root, however, and registered the first
goal of the game. Dr. BALDWIN and
Dillingham; juggled the ball for into
the enemys territory and Sam Bald
win scored neatly. Almost immediate
ly after the ball was put in play again |
Dr.. Baldwin made the score three |
by long diagonal drive, a
left-handed stroke made over the |
neck.
In the third period Groninger made a !
beautiful effort at the goal which was !
foiled by Fleming, Forsythe showed !
up particularly well in this period and
did some dashing work which would |
have been effective but for misses by
his team mates at critical moments.
The fourth period saw the fourth |
goal scored by the Oahuans. Sam |
Baldwin passed the ball to DR.. Bald
win and the latters horse carried the
ball fetween the goal-posts. Dilling-
ham the looked like scoring but Gron-
niger rode him off in the nick Of time |
The period was the fastest of the game I
and TIE spectators were on tiptoes
with excitement all the time. Han
son did some nice riding off in this
period.
In the fifth period Sam Baldwin took !
the ball goalwards but it was well
backed by Hanson. Then Forsythe |
made a fine run which was frustrated |
by Dillingham; who was always on |
the ball The soldiers made a des-
perate rally in this period. Queke- |
meyer, Hanson and Forsythe leading
a forlorn hope with a dash which |
brought applause from the spectators.
Fleming looked like adding another
to the score but the ball went a bit
vide and spoiled an excellent attempt. |
In this period it became apparent that |
but for the disasters which overlook |
the cavalrymen in the second period, |
the game would have been an extreme
ly warmly contested one. At the END |
of the period Dillingham; scored the |
fifth goal for his side with a splendid |
pickup.
In the final period Quekemeyer and
Hanson narrowly missed scoring. Then
took a shot but missed the !,
goal-post by a foot. DR.. Baldwin
scored the sixth goal with a long drive
which hit the goal post and glancing
off went in the goal. Just as it look
ID as if the soldiers were to be white
washed Hanson scored their first and
only goal with a long shot. 1t was
perhaps the prettiest goal of the after
Ioon. DR.. Baldwin had a shot at
oal but missed, then Groninger made
good run and the bail was in Oahu's
elritory wnen the bugle signaled the
lose of the game.
Before leaving the field the teams
