Game the Fastest.
Saturdays game was probably the
fastest of the three just played. There
was plenty Of hard riding and some
stellar stick work, but in combination
the Cavalry showed to the best ad-
vantage. The team has played to-
| gether now for some time, and this
gave them a big advantage over the
| locals, who changed their lineup ev-
cry game In order to give six men
an opportunity to play two games
each. This, and the greater familiar
lty OF the cavalrymen with their
mounts, gave them the edge on the
! situation, and allowed them to play
better all-round game.
"Cy" Groninger again showed him
self to be the coming player of the
Cavalry aggregation. He was right on
TIE ball at all times, and showed none
Of the lack of initiative which char
acterized his work early in the sea-
son. Groninger's real ability was
| somewhat overlooked before the pres
eat series, owing to the fact that he
has seldom uncovered his true form,
playing just we'll enough to win, with
something always in reserve.
Bob Single did the most effective
workxfor Oahu. He was hitting splen-
didFySs5 and showed more stamina than
in the game last Wednesday, Also,
he was better mounted, giving him
chance to show to better advantage.
With just trifle more accuracy
in shooting goals, he would have
changed defeat into victory Saturday,
for he had at least five chances which
missed the sticks by narrow margins.
Game Won In First. .-.......-.
The Cavalry started off with rush
that played tie Oahu -four off their
feet I'D the first period. The game
was really won in the first few. min
Htes of play, for in every period but
the opening one, Oahu held its own. -
Almost before the locals had set
tied down to ride Heffernan had the
ball through for the first score. Baird
followed with another clean goal, and
before the whistle sounded Heffernan
had repeated. go. g. -.
Oahu turned the tables in the sec
ond, and twice barely missed goals,
pressing the Cavalry most of the time.
Dillingham; got the initial score for
the Honolulans, but toward the end
of the period their play became very
ragged again, with many misses.
Leilehua lost a quarter of a point
soon after play started in the third,
Heffernan hitting a safety. Gronin-
ger hit goal, and Dillingham; follow
ed with one for Oahu, after time had
been called. The Cavalry players were
on the defensive, and showed poor
Judgment in not sending the ball to
the boards, instead of taking the
chance of a score. Groninger was Pc
nalized for hooking Dillingham's stick
across the latter's pony, making the
score at half time: Cavalry, 3A;
Oahu, 2.
Cavalry Scores Three.
In the fourth the Cavalry again
came on with a rush and annexed
three goals before the whistle sound
ed. Groninger started off with goal
after Jones had missed backhander
entirely, and Heffernan put the ball
through after Groninger had centered
it from the boards: with a beautiful
lofted shot. The latter scored again,
IlSH OdAu SOS luIO IAS SSOI ln6
with goal by Single, again made
after time.
With four goals needed to Jump into
the lead it looked like a forlorn hope
in the sixth, but Oahu braced and held
the Cavalry from scoring, Single
making the only goal of the period in
three clean strokes down field. The
period opened with "a little diversion,
Arthur Jones horse running away
while he was mounting, and only be-
ing recaptured after a strenuous chase
by a mounted trooper.
Shingles pony kicked the ball
through, putting Oahu within two
goals of the lead. Shingle got off for
"a fine run, the bail being cleverly
passed to him by Harold Dillingham;,
but he just missed the goal Had the
ball gone through, it might have
changed the result of the game, for
In the two minutes remaining to play,
Oahu would likely have played bet
ter game with victory almost in sight.
AS it was, the Cavalry cinched the
game with another goal, Millikin put
ting it through after Baird had made
a fine run down the sideboards. Henry
Damon in this period-and, in fact,
throughout the game-played a heady
back for the losers.
