FOURTH OF JULY SPORTS

anis but, to the surprise of almost
all the spectators, the Healani boat
pulled away and won by several
lengths, the Myrtle crew captained
by W. Lyle being beaten into second
place. 1t was a great victory for the
Healanis and should be a great incen-
tive TO the members of this club to
keep up their work in preparation for
the annual regatta.
outrigger Club Triple Winner.
The race for the outrigger canoes,
in which Kenneth Browns crew met
eli Crawford's Kalihi canoists, was
corker. From the crack of the pistol
sending the canoes off on their race
to the firing of the finishing gun il
was anyone's race, the two canoes
racing neck and neck all the first.
The Kalihi paddlers forged their
prov ahead in the opening stages IF
the race, but they soon lost their adj
vantage as the Outrigger boys dug in
more fierCcly. 1t was an inspiring
race, worthy a far larger crowd of
spectators. Up to within a hundred
feet of the line it seemed likely that
the race would result in a dead heat.
but the boys from Waikiki stuck 10
their work grimly and lifted their
canoe over the finishing line ahead
of the Kalihi canoe, half length be-
ing the official decision.
Kenneth Brown was out again as
captain of the Outrigger's four-paddle
canoe and added his second win,
while Kenneth Reidford, with the
Ukulele patrol, put it all over the
Myrtle freshmen, captained by Mars
ton Campbell. The Ukuleles did re-
markably well and are already show
ing the improvement tipped by the
recent shake up of committees.
Ivy Wins Sailing Race.
The sailing race for the Wrens and
Pearls was won by Ivy, after skllful
handling by her skipper Five yachts
competed, the Ivy holding windward
position at the start This she main
tanned and gained the Spar buoy first.
It was a pretty race throughout.
Polo Won by Oahu.
Though two of the members Of the
team selected to represent Oahu
against the Fifth Cavalry were I'M
able to play yesterday, two admirable
substitutes were pressed into service
and the Oahu team succeeded in win
ming by four and a half goals to three
and half. It was really fine game,
though the combination of the Oahu
team was broken up by the eleventh
hour changes. However, Harold
Castle and Lieutenant Andrews, who
took the places of Bob Shingle and
George Denison, played good polo,
Castle being particularly good in
scoring goals. Castle opened up the
scoring in the first chukka, and with
Walter Dillingham;, was partly re-
sDonsible for the second goal, which
Walter put through the posts. The
civilians had much the better of the
opening chukkas, though at the end
of the third they were only half a
goal ahead, having lost half goal for
a foul, while the Fifth had scored
one. But Castle added two goals in the
fourth and the Fifth added one, half
a goal being deducted from each team
for fouls. The Fifth Cavalry came
back in the fifth and equalized the
score, Lieutenant Sheridan notching
the goal that made matters even, but
before the chukka ended the Oahuans
had another goal to their credit and
won as stated.
Captain Forsyth, Lieutenants Han
| son, Doak and Quekemeyer formed
the team for the Cavalry, but Lieu
= tenant Sheridan took the place of
| Lieutenant Quekemeyer after three
p chukkas had been played.
: The game was an exciting one,
| though the Oahu team did not play
| as well as was expected. However,
what little disappointment there was
in this rspect was more than com,
! pensated by the excellent showing
. made by the substitutes, who put up
great polo, though not as finished as
= the work of Dillingham; and Atkinson
. The sides of the playing area were
3 lined with spectators, mostly in auto
e mobiles, for the event was a great
society attraction.
Honolulu Won Tennis Match.

d rugby football and cricket it was not
