Maui 225k, Fourth Cavalry 8.

II was a foregone conclusion that
Maui would beat the Fourth Cavalry
at polo aud win by a large margin.
Yesterday afternoon at Moanalua
field the four hard-riding, hard-hitting
players from the Valley Island justi-
fed the predictions of the wise ones
by running up big score against the
army They played rings around the
cavalry four, hitting goals from all
cngles and distances, and altogether
making very impressive showing.
Oahu supporters on the sidelines
shook their heads and predicted the
hardest game In the history of island
polo when Maui and Oahu come to
gether for the championship next Sat
urday.
Yesterdays game was distin-
guished by the hard hitting of the
Maui men, There was more out and
out missing than Is usually seen with
first class team. but the thickness
Of the Moanalua field, and the way
the ball travels with and against the
grade, may have put the men a trihe
on their stroke. which would account
for this unsteadiness. On the other
hand. the Maui players hit with ter
rife force and made some very long
drives for goal which were success
full Their combination wasn't up to
the form shown in the Oahu-Maui
game last year. but yesterday they
were so far superior to their oppon-
ents that the necessity for close de-
fensive. and offensive riding was lack
ing. and the players were tempted to
slacken up.
Comparative Scores.
Maui was evidently out to compare
the strength of the team with that of
Oahu through the medium. of the
