SOCIETY WAS OUT EN- MASSE
(FrOm Thursday,s Advertiser.l

(From Thursdays Advertiser.)
Before a panoramic beauty show in
automobile settings the Fifth Cavalry
four were routed sixteen and three
quarters to two and half by the Of
fee boys yesterday afternoon in the
polo game at Moanalua field. The doc
tor and his staff of commercial digni-
taries, however, only had one consid-
cradle obstacle in the way of their
scoring goals, and this was the whirl-
wind Hanson. He dashed all around
them, charged back and forth through
them, hooked the ball out and got
away time and again with it for a dash
over the field, but he had no support,
and the blue jays soon recovered it,
losing no time in coming through with
goal.
The yellow jackets, the Cavalrymen,
spread themselves out more than they
did against the Kauai team, but the
blue jays just brushed them aside and
ran away with the ball.
Has Hard Luck.
The Cavalry had two strokes of hard
luck. Once in the fifth period Sheri-
dan got away with the ball and was
well in the lead when his stick broke
and he had to abandon the chase. In
the seventh period Hanson circled the
bunch like hawk, swOoped down into
the midst of them, and flew off with
the ball. He had outdistanced all OPP
position and was nearing the goal
when the big bell jingled the end of
the period and he could not finish the
run.
The Oahu four showed up strong on
their teamwork. They made several
pretty passes from one to another as
the whole bunch was in full charge up
the field. When the ball did roll up
alongside yellow jacket, he couldn t
knock it as far as across the street.
The blue jays were more deft with the
stick. They passed the ball from one
to another with cross and side strokes,
and when one got clear field for a
swoOp he sent it skying like a golf ball,
where one of his team mates could put
it through the goal.
Hold Out to Finish.
The Oahu men played in equally
good form and did not flag out toward
the finish as in their match with the
Kauaians. Frank Baldwin, who was
an enthusiastic critic, said he was dis
appointed in the game.
"The Oahu team played better than
they did against the Kauai four-that
is, they kept up the pace, and the
Cavalry did not play so well as they
did with the Kauai team.p
Asked how the Oahu team sized up
compared with last year, he said:
t'They are better mounted and they
play better"
H. P. Baldwin was the chief rooter
in the paddock. "Who made that
goalf" somebody shouted. at makes
no difference who made it, it's the
teamwork that COUNTS" responded H.
P, and he rooted for touchdowns as
much as for goals.

field with two of his polo mounts.
Both ponies were light grays and as
slick and trim as though they had
been kept in a glass case.
Doctor Fitzgerald, the Kahului vet
Urinary, was out on the field He said
he was looking after the Maui team
mounts, and he assured the reporter
that the ponies were all in fine feather.
There are eighteen polo ponies out at
the MOanalua stables which arrived
from Maui last Sunday. Sixteen Of
these will be used in the games. They
are all old polo ponies, with the eKeep.

island tournament last year
Six Goals In One Period.
The game yesterday was furious
throughout. In one period, the third,
there were six goals scored. and the
Cavalry landed three OF the half.dozen.
