umpires For World Series.
Arbitration of the close plays in
world championship games is vested
in a force of four umpires, or twice
the number in ordinary games. One
is stationed behind the plate, one
about the bases, and two in the out
field.
The selection of the umpires is
made by the presidents of the two ma
jor leagues. each choosing two from
his staff. The choice this year fell
upon:
William KLEIN and Charles Rigler,
representing the National League.

OAHU POLO TEAM WINS
THE 1912 CHAMPIONSHIP

Title Won in Three Cornered
Tournament Just Closed One
to Be Proud 0f-FinaI Game
Against the Cavalry Was Ex-
citing and Hard-Fought.
By LAURENCE REDINcToN.

BY LAURENCE REpINcToN.
THE champion polo team OF the Ha-
waiian Islands.
That is the title that the Oahu
players won last Saturday, when
they defeated the Fifth Cavalry s to
s. and. judging by the standard Of
play that prevails in the Territory. it
is a title that means something in
the polo world. The four men who
went through the championship tour
nament just closed without defeat
could hold their own in very fast
company in the United States, Eng
land or India, and the weeks of hard
practise and hard work that went to
perfect the individual and team play,
must be counted as weeks well spent.
1t has been a clean-cut. sportsman
like victory for Oahu. The 1912 cham
pionship has passed into history, leav
ing no bitterness and no questionable
points to be haggled over, and for the
losers the sting of defeat is tempered
by the knowledge that Island sport is
the better for the three matches that
have been won and lost on the Mo-
analua field. Sporting statisticians
may argue that by the hair vic
tory of the locals over Maui, and the

latter's much more decisive win from
the Cavalry, the Valley Islanders
should be considered the strongest
team of the three, but this is not a
fair way Of. looking at the situation.
1t is results Of games. not total goals,
that count in tournament of this
sort. and, twist the figures as one
may. the fact remains that Oahu beat
both Maui and the Cavalry, winning
the championship beyond the shadow
Of a doubt.
Last the keenest.
The meeting between Oahu and the
Cavalry was looked forward to with
the greatest interest. on account of
the keen rivalry that has always ex-
listed between the two teams that claim
this island as their home ground. and
the big crowd of polo enthusiasts that
turned out to see the game was in
no way disappointed in either the
quality of polo or the quantity of ex-
element. The game provided good
polo. and all the thrills that go with
contest between two well-matched
teams, when partisanship is about
equally divided, and when there are
no neutrals on the sidelines. Every
one who saw Saturdays game was
combatant, and was pulling" with all
his or her might for one team or the
other. Cheers for Oahu's star plays.
Cheers for the brilliant shots Of the
army riders. And. best of all. it was
a generous audience, ready and will
ing to applaud good polo, no matter
which side brought it off.
That the Cavalry team would pull
itself together. and show much inn
proved form over that of the Maui
game. was freely predicted by those
who know something about the sport,
and this proved to be exactly the case.
The army men not only made a bet
ter showing. pressing Oahu right up
to the final period. but they really
played a better brand of polo. 1t is
true that they were not ridden quite'
so hard by Oahu as by the Maui play
ers. which gave them an opportunity
for more hitting, but it is also true
that the individual players handled
themselves better Saturday than they
did last Wednesday, under similar
circumstances. In the game with Maui,
Hanson was about the only man on
the team who hit UP to form. In the
Oahu contest Captain Forsyth and
Doak, and to lesser extent Sheridan,
showed improvement in stick work and
in general play.
First Periods Close.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the bell sound

hit over the line in dangerous prox-
unity to the goal, and finally Walter
Dillingham; failed to connect with a
fast ball that he tried to meet, and
Hanson. following the ball, managed
to straighten it through for the Cav
alry's second goal The next play of
note was a spectacular run down field
by Sam Baldwin. who, when it looked
as though the ball would cross the
line wide Of the posts. put on every
ounce of speed that he could get out Of
his pony and pulled off a difficult cut
shot that turned the willow between
the sticks.
In this period occurred the first of
two fouls which the referee did not
see In fact, the tournament estab-
fishes record of being played through
without a single called foul. which
speaks volumes for the clean riding of
all the players. A polo referee has
remarkably difficult job, as anyone who
has officiated as ninth man can tes-
tify, and he can not see everything
that goes on, as he has too big a ter
ritory to cover. II so happened that

of the field. Perhaps it is just as
leaves the games with clean slate.
Doak crossed Castle. after the latter
had received the ball on a pass from
Dillingham;, and had the right of way,
but the latter pulled up and the dan
ger of spill was averted.
Oahu Gets Lead.
The third period opened with some
clever stiolxwork by Arthur Rice, who
twice stopped coming balls with hard,
accurate swings. Walter Dillingham;
broke through the defense of the up

quartering shot from near the Wal
kiki boards. The next goal was also
off the stick of the Oahu captain. the
period closing 4 to in favor Of the
locals. although the Cavalry made a
wild rally in the closing minute. shoot
ing several times and missing by small
margins. Captain Forsyth did fine
work at this time
In the fourth the Cavalry again
started to press the lower goal. and
after one unsuccessful shot Sheridan
sent the ball through. Rice just miss

backhand pass, and again Oahu al
most scored after q sensational run
two thirds the length of the field by
Castle. Right here it might be men
toned that Castle played in splendid
form throughout At times he was
the star of the team, and Oahu's win
was largely due to his brilliant hitting.
Castle scored the next goal. putting
his team again two in the lead. Again
Oahu just failed to score through the
mauka goal, when Dillingham; made a
brilliant save, carried the ball up the
Waikiki boards. relayed it to Baldwin.
who was in turn ridden off, while Cas-
tie put the sphere right in the mouth
of the stakes. Doak swooped down
and sent it out of the danger zone
just as the bell rang.
Cavalry Braces.
After the ten-minute rest the play
ers went at it harder than ever. but
the fifth was productive of only one
score, Doak getting it just as time
was called. This left the Cavalry
only one point to the bad, with three
periods still to play.
In the sixth Hanson was up on Mil
likin's famous mare Freckles, and
showed his heels to the rest of the
field more than once Forsyth and
Doak barely failed in combination
goal. Castle pulled off another spec
tacular run and just failed to score.

but a moment later Sam Baldwin turn
ed the trick with a clever shot Oahu,
goal was threatened more than once
but Castle snatched the ball out Of
the danger zone and carried It up the
field and almost through the mauka
goal. Oahu had its usual two goal
lead when the bell rang.
The seventh opened with another
goal for Oahu at the upper end. Bald

attempting to hoo Castles stick. got
a nasty crack on the base of the thumb
which numbed his stick hand. He was
practically out OF the game when the
above mentioned goal was scored. and
decided to retire in favor of Millikin.
This changed the Cavalry Iine-np

Oahu he did not see, but half dozen

out the tournament, bowIed the white
sphere between the rows of eager play
ers. On the track, when the gate is
shot for big race, a concerted MUIR

heard. At the beginning of big polo

citement, but no one has yet invented
the correct expression to relieve the
feelings of a polo crowd. SO the MUIR
