MAUI DOWNS
Continued from Page %

The first army score came in the
third, when Doak, who played hard,
fast polo throughout the game, shot
a pretty goal off Hanson's centering
shot. Both sides scored in the fourth,
Collins and Hanson turning the trick.
The fifth period found the Cavalry
still hopeful and ready to get in some
hard ticks after the long rest. But it
was at this time that Maui really
woke. up to play the game. and what
ever good resolutions the Leilehua
players made during the intermission
vanished into thin air when the Val.
ley Islanders commenced to slam the
ball in earnest.
Frank Baldwin, who hadn't been
playing his best game in the first half
seemed to get back the full use of a
damaged wrist, and commenced to
crack the willow to good effect, while
David Fleming gave an exhibition of
some of the cleyefest stick work ever
seen on the local field
Play Exciting.
The first part Of the fifth period
was wildly exciting, the Cavalry,
knocking up, pressing the Maui goal
repeatedly. Maui then turned the
tables, but twice Cavalry players nip
ped the ball out from directly in front
of the posts and carried it up the
field out of danger These brilliant
saves gave the Army supporters some
thing really worth while to cheer over.
Maui was not to be long denied,
however, and finally Collins shot the
makai goal just before the bell rang.
The score was made after a couple of
misses by his teammates, and was a
brilliant bit of individual stick work
Harold Rice scored the only goal of
the sixth period through the mauka
sticks, just after the Cavalry had
saved one threatened by Frank Eald-
win. Nearly all the play after this
was in the lower field, but the Cavalry
players were making a desperate de-
tense, and time and again turned off
shots that looked like certain scores.
Captain Forsyth at this stage of the
game did some fine work in meeting
swift balls with forehand shots out of
danger zone.
Fleming's Fine. Work.
The seventh saw David Fleming do
ing some spectacular stick work. He
hit near side or off side, backhand or
forehand with equal facility, and at
one time took the ball two-thirds the
length of the field uphill, in the midst
of tangle of ponies and sticks. He
seemed to snare the ball out of the
worst mix-ups with ease, and his
work, together with the Baldwin-Rice
goal before referred to, was the feat
ure of the period.
Rice and Baldwin together made
another fine. goal uphill, just after
they had scored at the lower end
Baldwin on Blue Boy made "a strong
run, hitting the ball far and true. and
when he was ridden off Rice was
there to give it the final crack.
Collins pony went down in this per-
iod, but there was no damage done.
The eighth and final period opened
with a goal by Frank Baldwin's pony
Blackbird, and Immediately after
wards Sheridan scored for the Cav
airy. The army men then made dis
tinct brace, Forsyth taking the bail
up the field and giving Sheridan a
chance to score, which, however, he
missed. Maui then ran the ball down
| the field, Baldwin scoring, and just
before the bell rang Rice put the final
goal through the upper sticks, with a
clever shot under his pony's neck.
No Rough Work.
The game was Clearly played
throughout, and there was NO rough
or dangerous riding.
A big weekday crowd turned out
| for the sport about 175 motor cars
being arranged in triple tiers on the
Iva side of the field. Of course, Lei
lehua was out in force. and had there
.been a chance to cheer for the Cav
