MAUl-0AHU MATCH
sTlRS INTEREST OF
EVERY POLO FOL- OWER

The big polo match of the year, the
finals for the inter-island champion
ship, will be played on MoanaIua field
and Maui are the contenders, both
having administered decisive defeat
to the team of the 4th cavalry. The
winning team viii get possession of
the Wichman perpetual challenge cup,
emblematic of the Hawaiian champion-
ship, and will win leg on the Cali
fornia Feed Co. cup, which was won
for the first time last year by Oahu.
This cup must be won three times to
become the permanent property Of any
team.
This years schedule works out far
better than the arrangement in force
last year. In 1912, what proved to be
the great game of the tournament
came first. Oahu beat Maui In the
opening contest Then, Maui had a
walkover with the 9Th cavalry, and 1t
was apparent that Oahu would have
an easy time with the cavalry, win
ming its second game and the tourIla-
ment.
This year the best is saved for the
last. The old-time rivals have beaten
the soldiers by about the same pro-
portionate scores, seeing that Oahu
played only six periods against the
cavalry, to Maui's eight. Now the
third game of the tournament brings
Maui and Oahu together. in a battle
that promises to become historic. It's
a toss-up, with, both sides hoping for
victory and each a little scared of the
other. Even the most rabid polo fans
from both islands shake their heads
when it comes to picking winner.
They know which way their prefer
ences lie. and might risk a box of CT
gars on the result to back them up,
hut when it comes to doping the game
with any certainty, they back right
down.
The game will be called at 3 O'Clock,
with the two teams lined up as fol-
lows:
.oAHU-Walter Macfarlane, No. Il;
Sam Baldwin, No. 2; Harold Castle,
No. 3; Walter Dillingham; (capt.)
back. Arthur Rice will be in uniform
as first substitute.
Maui-Harold Rice, No. 1; Arthur
Collins, No. 2; Frank Baldwin (capt. j,
No. 8; David Fleming, back. Burns
and Clark, substitutes
The rival captains got together yes
terday afternoon and agreed on Laur-
ence Redington as referee. The game
will start at o'clock
There are still few auto parking
reservations to be had. and these are
ON sale at E. o. Hall & Son. The
tournament being now half over, the
price of reservations for the two re-
manning games is reduced to SIS.
Tuesday afternoon the AlIHawaii
team will go up against picked oppo-
sition, and this. the final game of the
senior tournament, is second in inter-
est only to the inter-island champion
ship match tomorrow.

showed him how to throw the fast
one, the movement with the shoulder,
how to curve the one down around
the knees and the fast breaker high
on the inside.
After a few lessons Griff and the
players were surprised. In a few
weeks the batters began popping the
fast one and hitting easy -grcunders
on the curves.
When it came time to make the
first trip, Griffith asked his strange
tosser how he'd like to make a trip
with the team.

answer

The Nationals made several trips,
and when a game was practically
lost the kid got chance to show him
self Sometimes he got away all
right, sometimes he didn't.
The 1912 season was over. The kid
had a bunch of experience. This past
spring he was regular member of
the team, was along on the practice
tour and watched every move made
by his favorite, Johnson.
Finally the Kid got cnance to
show himself at the start. He won,
allowing only few hits and run or
two. Then it was that Griffith real
lied he had wonderful pitcher.
Recently Joe Engel beat the Browns
l to 0, with three scattered hits,
showing almost as much stuff as Wal
ter Johnson. Joe Engel is the kid
who introduced himself to a major
league ball park in the spring of 1912,
and members of the Nationals declare
he'll be Just as good pitcher as Wal
ter Johnson. 49, ~.
Furthermore, Joe Engel celebrated
his twentieth birthday last April.

JOE EVGEL MADE
ODD BREAk-p

During the early spring days of
1912 a young ball tosser applied for
admittance to the ball park in Wash.
ingtoE where Clark Griffith, WaS
johnson, Herm Schaefer and other
Nationals were romping about. He
was too bashful to speak to anybody,
just watched the athletes perform.
The next morning the same kid
was on hand He had read about
the great Johnson. Walsh, Coombs,
Bender, Wood and other pitchers. He
was a pitcher, too. Rather on the
lots in Washington he curved 'em for
the semi-pro teams. and as he usu-
ally won, he thought he'd like to be-
come acquainted with the big leag-
uers.
The kid ehatted with members of
the Nationals. asked who was mana
ger, and If he could talk to him.
Griffith is manager; he's standing
over there" informed one athlete to
the youngster. The kid walked over
to Griffith.
I'm pitcher. I'd like to toss a
few to your hitters," was his opening

the Fox.

returned the youngster.

suit and let me take a look at you"
answered Griffith.
The youth appeared, went to the
hill and pitched during the batting
practice.
The players gave Griff the merry

the boss plucked the novice. When
the ball came near the place usually
the sluggers lifted it over the heads
of the 'outfelders.
All the time, though, Griffith was
watching his new entrant. He saw
that he had a lot of speed and a fast
breaking curve. But the kid was
awkward and didn't have the proper
delivery.
Came on Fast.
As the youngster improved with
each day and began to show dazzling
speed, he was introduced to his idol,

interest in the new acquisition. He

this alone saved the Chinese on sew
eral occasions.
The store team was game even to
the end and pulled rally in the
ninth, which, however, fell short by
several runs. Kennedy, the Ursinus
football star, opened the inning with
a splendid drive to center, but Ensue
rushed over and intercepted the ball
for pretty catch. Undaunted by
this, McGrath came through with his
fourth safety of the day, single to
left, and stole second. Mack hit a
scorcher to short on which Ayau
made a pretty stop and throw, get
ting his man at first, while MeGrath
moved up to third.
Bodine was inserted into the game
at this point as pinch hitter for
Farren and made good in every sense
of the word with a Texas Lacquer into
right, McGrath scoring. but Wrigley

Chinese BECOME
DEM0NBA1TERS
ON TRIS.:'T[RIP

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Aug
ust 10 gives a four-column picture lay
cut of the All-Chinese ball players in
action, and a coiumn of type to de-
scription of the play. Certainly the
local men are getting newspaper pub
licity, and the regularity with which
they win games is almost monoto-
nous
Here's the boost that the big Phila-
delphia daily gives the Orientals:
That little band of yellow men play
ing under the name of the Hawaii
University team, once more invaded
our fair city yesterday and the result
was as before, defeat for a local
team, the crack Strawbridge and
Clothier nine being the victims this
time on their field at Sixty-third and
Walnut streets. The final score was
8 to s, but had 1t not been for a trio
of timely circuit drives over the lett
field fence, the Celestials might have
come in for one of the few defeats
they have suffered during their long
pilgrimage through the country.
They came to this city with a repu-
tation of being weak hitters, but IL
this be true. then Ty Cobb isn't worth
his salt and Frank Baker should quit
before he gets to the gate. Kanyen
and Ayau were the worst weaklings
with the war club yesterday, for out
side of getting two singles, a double
and three homers between them, their
offensive powers were very poor, in
deed.
The diminutive Ayau delivered two
homers in succession, one in the sec.
on and one in the fourth, scoring a
team mate in front of him each time,
and not to be outdone by his partner
around the keystone sack, Kanyen
duplicated one of these drives few
moments later.
Great Hitting.
This kind of clouting was enough to
dishearten any team, but the store
boy IS kept plugging away all the time,
and, benefited by several substitations,
played bang-lIp ball till the finish, with
the exception of the fifth inning, when
the Chinese ran wild ON the bases.
while their opponents were frenZiedly
heaving the ball in all directions.

store team, and from then on the Far
East representatives acted as though
they were in trance, five of them
swinging yainly at the elusive slants
served up by the relief pitcher. He
whitfield the side in order in the eighth
inning and altogether gave out an .ex-
cellent impression, making many a
rabid Strawbridge and Clothier rooter
bemoan the fact that he had not start
ed the game.
A young Monaghan by the name of
Luck started in the box for the inyad-
ers, but the suggestiyeness of his
name did not appear to effect the
home team to any great extent, and
he IVES shifted from the scene after
the third inning to make room for one
Foster, who is credited with being the
best hurler the aliens carry. He fail
ed to live up to this reputation, for
the locals found his delivery without
much trooble. He was as tight as a

BREAK OF LUCK
FOR THE GIANTS

How the Giants can get bunch of
runs after some one on the other side
NUTS q ny ball was a topic OF discus
sion among some of the Philadelphia
players. 1t was related how New York
got four runs recently after Fred
Kommers had muffed fly which
would have prevented scoring had he
held the ball. That's nothing, .
Clipped In one Of the Phillies. "Sher-
wood Magee had not muffed fly ball
in three years. At least, no one re-
members ever seeing him make rank
nun, and he can't remember himself
when he ever Gid But he lost ball
in game with New York about a
month ago and the Giants got four
runs" 1t is a funny way those Giants
have They make about as many
laundering muffs and errors as any
club in the business, and yet their
mistakes seldom help their opponents.
One could burn barrel of midnight
oil recounting games in the last three
years that the Giants have won
through the most remarkable kind OF
Inflated breaks against the other club.
We can't forget the battle at Forbes
field one day last year when the first
hit off Adams was q scratch by Larry
Doyle after two men we're out and the
crowd was yelling for no-hit game.
Then Murray hit pop fly behind sec
ond that should have retired the side.
Some one yelled. Take it Artie." Two
Arties-H Holman and Butler-trieds to
take it. They had answered to their
own names, of course. The ball fell
safely. Up came Merkle. Over the
left field wall went the ball. Home
went a saddcned crowd of $1,000 For
hes field fans sadly shaking their
heads. New York had won to 2.
