" consistent Playing ana nne nofseman-
lship. hut just through sheer bad luck,
did the team of the Fifth Cavalry lose
to the Oahu four in the polo match at
Schofield Barracks Yesterday afternoon
n In the presence of a big assemblage,
including the officers and ladies of the
garrison the members of the Congress
sional party, and scores of people from
II town, the eight riders pursued the
elusive ball over the field and won
. plaudits for many brilliant feats of
malleting and horsemanship.
The field was in excellent condition
and very little dust was stirred. On
4 the Wahiawa side of the field, canopy
I afforded shade for the visitors not in
motors. Those who went in autos oc
cupied the Waianae side, near the polo
stables. Forty autos were in line.
The teams lined up as follows: Cav
airy (Yellow)-Lieut. Groninger- No.
IL: Lieut.. Hanson, No. q Lieut.. Queke-
meyer, No. 3; Capt. Forsythe, No. 4.
Oahu (Bme)-Dr. Baldwin, No. l; Sam
Baldwin, No. .; Walter Dillingham;, No.
g.; John Fleming, No. f. Lieut.. o Con
nor, Engineer Corps, was referee and
Lieut.. Stewart, 9TH Cavalry, held the
timepiece.
On the throw in, the Cavalry got the
first clear way at the ball and carried
it quickly toward the Blues goal, Han
son giving a side stroke finally which
sent it outside the goal posts. On
the throw back Dillingham; captured
the ball and started it off at a lively
Zip until Hanson backed it, but it was
carried over the Cavalry's end margin.
Forsythe whacked it to center and fol-
lowed it until Sam Baldwin backed it
and carried it toward the side line.
Hanson mixed in again and made a
beautiful hit, which sent the wood
lying toward goal. Everybody mixed
md mussed over the ball until Hanson
found it again. but Fleming backed
when Quekemeyer made lucky swing
which piloted it to Hanson who car
led it along. Sam Baldwin made a
pretty ride and with back stroke
stopped the spheres career and sent it
TO the center line Groninger then
came into prominence by making a
lean stroke, which sent the ball fly
ng up half field, followed by Han
ION, when the bugle sounded and the
irst period ended without a score.
Second Period.
The ball was carried down the Cav
flhy Silt
who stroked it to the side board where
he was negotiating it nicely until rid
len over the board. DR.. Baldwin quick
~ gained control and with pretty left
landed whacks on right and left sides
s,iloted the ball toward the goal posts,
through which it was sent flying, by
fleming. This was done while the en-
f ire eight was in full swing. This
. 4retty playing put damper on the
'avalry rooters. When the ball was
gain in motion, and the Cavalry start
d off with it. Dillingham; backed, and
Dr. Baldwin left handed it away up
cid and missed goal because of the
iaknifcent riding of the yellow
tripers, whose interference was excep-
ionally good. But in a short time it
'as sent through for goal by Sam
baldwin.
1t seemed no time after the ball was
gain in motion. before another goal
,as scored by Oahu, with DR.. Bald
i'm malleting it after a brilliant run
nd nursing of the wooden pellet.
Third Period.
The Cavalry men were first in pur-
nit of the ball. Dillingham; secured
osession, but after misses by him and
IldHsUu III anu
acked it. Wheeling he started in pur-
nit. Fleming broke a stirrup and had
} leave to get a new mount. Directly
front of the goal posts the seven
orses trampled the ball, no one being
BILE to shoot it for a score After it
as loose, the Oahuans had it going
gain for goal, but missed. The Caval-
were playing hard, doing beautiful
ding and malleting, particularly in
ack strokes, but the team work of
he Oahuans told. and every time the
avalry started the sphere toward goal
lie riding tactics of the Blues won out.
Fourth Period.
Sam Baldwin got the ball first for
rive and carried it almost to the en-
ance to the gates. but missed his
. roke, Forsythe stroking in and car
ling it OFF, thus saving score. Sam
E aldwin again got it and passed il up
DIR. Baldwin, who, having a clear
cid and no interference, made we'll
edged drive at sharp angle, sending
Clearly through the posts for the
,urth goal for the Blues. 1t was 0a-
rs ball on the throw in. Sam Bald
