POLO OPENS ON
GARDEN ISLAND

LIHUE, Aug. 21.-The news about
the enthusiasm and fine playing of the
polo teams on Oahu and about the com
ing big three team tournament in Sep
TENDER, has fred the ambitions of the
Kauai players, and reminds them that
they must do little playing themselves
if they are going to keep in practise
and be in form to keep the other inter
island teams busy, when they meet
again. The active members of thu
Kauai Polo club therefore arranged this
week for the first practice game of the
season and it took place last Thursday
at the polo field in the Waipouli race
track.
The sides were Charles Rice, John
Malina, and Mr.. Jules Ia new player
ON local fields who has recently arrived
from Portugal) against r. P. Spalding
A. Fl. Rice, and Maulili, all veteran
players.
Four short periods were played OF
fast, snappy ball, for SO early in the
season, and the score ended five to one
in favor of Captain Charles Riee's team
The riding OFF OF K. T. Spaldlng was
the feature of the game. An exciting
incident took place when "Sunfower,
the pony of Mr.. Jules, and an old-timer
at the game, probably feeling in high
spirits at being able to follow the
ball once more, attempted to buck her
rider off.
She failed in this attempt, however,
and soon settled down into her old
tine form again.
Games viii be played every week now
until the close of the season. The pros
poets do not look very encouraging at
the present writing, for sending a team
to Honolulu to play in the big tourna-
ment, as it will be impossible for all
the members of representative team
to be gone from Kauai at that time,
it is feared.

The opening of the second series Of
the Riverside league next Sunday at
Aala Park, will be marked by the first
appearance of the Chinese Athletic AS
sociationis baseball team and judging
from the reports heard in regard to the
players who are going to play IN the
team. the nine will be strong one,
which viii undoubtedly make hard
fight for championship laurels in this
series. This new team viii play against
the Roadpounders in the second game
and the Palama A. c. will meet the
kewalos in the first contest.
1t is the intention of the league to
put up better class Of ball this season
and the fans cen be assured that when
the second series commences, there will
be nothing but good, clean games played
at Aala Park There is no reason why
this league which has been entertaining
the thousands of people in the last few
years should not be patronized by the
public and that unless better patronage
by the fans is shown, the chances are
that the league will be unable to finish
its season.
In this Sundays games the first
will mean battle between two
teams which has held championship hon
ors Of different leagues here. The Pa
lamas were champions of the Riverside
league for two years ana the Kewalos
have won the same honors from the At
kinson league last season. 1t viii also
be an international affair, as the Pa
lamas represent the Hawaiians and the
Kewalos, the Portuguese. It is almost
certain that both Of these teams viii
draw large crowd at the park, which
will be there to root for its favorites.
The second game promises to be a
real battle. Johnny Annoy, who will
captain the Chinese nine is well known

his many friends. Annoy is undoubted-

in the game, he will be of great ser

ing artist among the sons of the dragon

team. A. T. Yau, champion catcher Of
the Aieas, viii be at the rec Giving end.

and ought to give the roadpounders a
hard fight The other members of the
