local poloists. Yesterday afternoon
there was a meeting of the polo con-
tingent at the Country Club. at which
arrangements for the big matchs were
definitely arranged. This morning the

This years tournament will be the
best on record" said Baldwin to a
Star-Bulletin reporter this morning,
for In addition to the three inter-club
games, there will be the added fea-
ture of q match between the AH-Ha-
wall team that campaigned in Cali
fornia, and the strongest opposition
that can be brought against 1t. Then
there win be the second team matches
later on, and altogether Il looks like
q regular carnival of polo.
maui will have the same team as
last year, but there will be change
Of positions, Harold Rice going to No.
IN place OF Collins, and the latter
filing In at No. 2. We figure that
this. IL q better combination. Dave
Fleming, our back, has only played
once this year. az he has been on the
other side Of the island. He il in
fine condition though, and his lack of
practice shouldn't affect his play to
any extent We figure on getting one
more game as q full team before com
ing over.

well on, and will bring q string Of
20 to Oahu A number of these are
youngsters, and / myself viii be on

the Oahu polo men. am delighted
that Walter Dillingham; il to play for
Oahu after all, Tor II we can lift the
cup, we want to take II from the best
team Oahu can put In the field. and
II we lose. It's q lot easier to be beat
en- by the crack four"
Baldwin says that there il q lot Of
interest in polo on Maui, and that with
the exception of Fleming, all the play
ers have had plenty Of play this sea
son. There have been some fast
games on the Valley Island within
the last few weeks.
Our second team will play the
