airy polished off the Oahu seconds
yesterday afternoon at Leilehua, TAX
ing the second game of the series by
a score of 5 ga to 3 1-2. 1t was a
good game to watch during most Of
the playing time, and the win was
distinctly on merits, for the Cavalry
had fair team work, while the Homo
lulu players were all over the place
most of the time. There was lots of
dash to the game, and plenty of hard
riding, with brilliant individual hit
ting to keep the ball moving. The
Cavalry have now won the two first
games, but the third will be played
next Saturday as scheduled, just the
same. ~ - - ~ IF. ~ .~~-ae@< j.
! as IN the first game last Saturday,
the Cavalry players came up from be-
hind and won with a rush. In one
period, the fourth, Oahu became COM
pletely deIhoralized, and the army
men rode through the opposition as
they pleased, hitting three goals that
turned the tide of battle and cinched
the game. In the next two periods
the locals braced somewhat, but the
fat was in the fire, and one more goal
was all that they could annex.
The lack OF team play by Oahu
was due in great part to the ponies,
Single and Macfarlane having a lot
of trouble with pullers in two periods,
and spending a good part of their time
riding circles round the grandstand
For minutes at time there would
be only three Oahu players on the
field, and, of course, this sort of thing
could have but one result. Had the
players had their mounts in hand,
they would undoubtedly have made a
better showing, though whether they
could have won from the Cavalry four
is another matter.
Starts OF Fass.
The game started, with Single,
Macfarlane, Harold Dillingham; and
Arthur Jones playing in the order
named for Oahu, while Heffernan,
Millikin, Groninger and Baird wore
the Cavalry yellow. Lieutenant Nay
Tor refereed.
The first period found the Cavalry
pressing their opponents most Of the
time, with the bali hanging danger
ously near the Oahu posts. Neither
side had scored when the whistle blew
for time, but, although on the defen-
sive and hard pressed, the Oahu play
ers would not hit the ball to the side
boards and end play, and as the re-
suit of trying to work it up the field
the Cavalry scored, Millikin straight
ening the ball out, and Baird shoot
ing the goal with a near side shot. 1t
transpired afterwards that the Oahu
players hadn't heard the whistle, and
didn't know time was up until the
ball went through.
Oahu Scores.
In the second period both sides got
down to business, and the pace in
creased considerably Walter Mac
farlane caught the ball for a fine run,
but Groninger nipped it away from
him near the line and took it right
back down the field, only to miss the
final shot. The play went back down
to the Cavalry goal, and the army hit
a safety, losing One-quarter of goal.
Soon afterwards Single got the ball
for Oahu's first score.
Harold Dillingham; scored the next
goal Dillingham; played the star
game for his team. He was hitting
better than in any previous game this
season, his strokes being clean and
true. Furthermore, he was riding
hard and playing with his head, hold
ing the team together in good shape.
Toward the end of the period foul
was called on Jones for hooking Mil
likin's stick over the latter's pony.
This left the score Oahu l II, Cav
airy ga, at the end of play.
The only score of the third period
was made by Macfarlane, from jum-
BILE of sticks and hoofs in front of the
posts. After the whistle blew Mill
kin got a long run with lofted shot
for goal, that was just turned off
few feet by the wind.
Three for Cavalry.
The fatal fourth opened with every
