The four members of the All-Hawaii

royalty entertained last night at a

Crossed polo sticks, tied together with
the colors of the teSm, Honolulu

which were most effective. =.

GOLF GOSSIP

. Mark Allerton's common sense ar
ticle in a February number of the
World of Golf on the technique of
practising is as follows:
in the course of month or so the
rigor and restrictiVeness of winter
will melt before the promise and in
spiration of spring. Every year there
dawns for the golfer period in which
he feels convinced that he will make
new beginning to his career on the
links. He will be a different player
from that time onwards; better
player in every respect. If you were
to put to him searching questions as
to the manner in which he intended to
effect the Transformation, probably his
replies would be lame and, unconviRe-
ing. But there is no kink in his de-
termination. He is chock-full of re-
solve and confidence He is not mere
ly hopeful; he is sure that he has
reached the stage when his form will
take a most emphatic turn in the di-
rection of excellence. For one thing,
he is going to be more careful about
the shots than he has been in the past.
He is going to pay close attention to
the question of the best stroke to play
in every set of circumstances: he is
going to think and concentrate in
stead of hurrying over the shots-the
failing which, he is certain, has re-
tarded his progress. Then he is go
ing to give up his straight-faced iron
and use spoon, and he is going to
experiment with a new kind of grip
because he has had a suspicion for
some time that nature never intended
him to hold the club in the way in
which he has been holding it. All
these faiths, resolutions, and enter
prises are admirable, but it is open to

PRACTICE COMMENCES

LAKEWOOD, April 2.-Practice for
the international polo matches opened
yesterday afternoon on George Gould S
field at Georgian court Three teams
We're organized from among the IA
players invited to take part in the
tTyout. In the first brush team B,
with the Waterbury brothers playing,
defeated team A. This was the most
interesting of the three matches. For
two periods neither side was able to
score, Stodard and Agassiz doing live
ly work for their respective sides.
In the third quarter Stoddard gained
for team B with a goal after J. NJ.
Waterbury had carried the ball down
the field. Agassiz evened this by get
ting away from the toss in the fourth
quarter, scoring in so seconds. Phipps
made the decf6ing point for team B
toward the end of the period.
Team C then met team A and for
tho first three quarters the latter was
not in the running H. P Whitney
showed he had lost aJne Of his gen.

First lnterdepartment Game at
College Brings Out Good

Alexander Field, Pauahou. was the
scene of another splendid baseball
game yesterday afternoon. when tie
two departmental teams OF the Col
lege of Hawaii mixed for their first
game. The Aggies. after hard fight.
came out on top with score OF 8 to
the Engineers 6, Up to the fourth
inning the two teams were fighting
hard with q score OF 90. Yong. or
the Aggies, was the first man 70
bring in q run.
The Aggies had been practicing
steadily for this game. and the results
Of their work were evident. The En-
gineers were not so faithful about
practicing. and although they have Is
good, II not better players than the.
Aggies, they gave up the game owing
to the fact that they had not seen
enough work. Not once In the game
were the Engineers ahead. although
several times they tied. Quite few
errors were made on both sides, but
that was to be expected as this was
the first game of the season.
The line,up of the two teams was
as follows:
Aggies: Meinecke. pitcher. Along.

Prof. Keller, Of the College OF Ha-

The batteries for both teams were
good. Meinecke, pitcher for the Az

game. Clark, pitcher for the En-
gineers, started out with fine speed
but he overdid it the first few In

The afternoon opened with the game
between A Company and | Company,
the former team playing its first
game outside its own battalion and its
third straight victory. Ramsey for
the visitors pitched good ball until in
the fourth the first two batters found
him for triple and two-bagger, So
Jasper took no chances but substitute
ed himself In the box. This certainly
saved the day. In the opening inning,
Collins after hit to right scored on
ball that Field knocked to Lewis.
Lewis knocked it down all right but
could hardly recover his balance in
time. to field it. Collins scored. In
the fourth Heard scored after his own
triple on Mimm's pretty double. From
this point Jasper was in fine form
and had the game sewed up.

riety. After showing a splitter which
he threw with good control last week,
he seems to have lost that control

yesterday but his success was due en-
tirely to the bad Judgment of the bat
tiers. A Company scored it's first run
in the, fourth as result of passes
Mimms contributed in row, In the
fifth he repeated and A Company
scored two more, and in the one of
the two hits A Company made off him

in the fifth and was obliged to retire.

up to the White Sox players to call q

increasing, and quite o number Of
spectators were present at the last en-

need trifie more batting practice,
when they will doubtless make things

question whether they really lead to
proficiency.
There is no short cut to success at
golf, and probably the simplest meth
cd of attaining a degree of expertness
is to submit oneself to the ordeal of
practising in isolation for certain
period on every possible playing day.
Assuming that the rudiments of the
strokes have been acquired from a
competent instructor, the quickest
way to advance-indeed, the only way
in the case of person who takes up
the game fairly late in life-is to d.
gest the lessons and study the morals
during frequent stretches of lonely
practise Even tn most famous golf
ers, people who seem to be specially
endowed to play the game, have had
to spend hours and hours in this at
mosphere of chastenment. They have
not simply walked onto the links, en-
gagged in a number of matches, found
themselves getting better every time,
and reached state of prosperity sole
ly on course of interesting strug
giles and periodical visitations of hope.
Time after time they have gone out to
quiet spots for practise; first with a
driver, then with an iron, and so on
until, little by little, they have purged
their souls of golfing mistakes and de-
yeloped the power of realizing causes
as well as effects

our travelling baseballists are making
a great hit with the sporting seribes,

and with an attendance of only 100,
such as the summary shows for 0g-

sprained Probably with better base

their receipts pulling up.
The Ogden Examiner says:
There was baseball game at Glen.

Yes. there was.
A glance around the grandstand

from a climate where baseball Is

were brimful of confidence and played

For the Ogden team, one Melvin

Though it was his first game OF the
season, Brooks did some star fielding
stunts. He accepted enc chance in
the center garden that was hummer.
Another hard fly to the same spot was
nealy annexed and his throw in was
responsible for double play.
