DEFEATED BY
CORONADO
Frank Baldwin Sprains Leg in
Sixth Period and Has to Re-
tire from Game, Weakening
Team and Breaking Up the
Winning Combination

Coronado ten three quarters Ha-
wall six hall"
That is the text OF an Associated
Press cable received by the Star-Bul-
ietin Saturday afternoon, too late for
publication. While a great disap-
pointment, the result was not unex-
peeted by local polo followers. who
had been prepared Tor q possible de-
feat by. letters from the Hawaii play
ers. received by the last mail. BY
defeating Hawaii, the Coronado team
wins the California Chaiienge Trophy
tournament. the first OF three big
polo events to be played at the
southern resort.
According TO a cable received by
DIR. w. II. Baldwin Saturday after
noon, the islanders met with q piece
of hard luck which might nave turned
the tide of victory. when Frank Bald
win was put out OF commission IN the
sixth period. DIR. Baldwin's cable
reads:
Coronado ten three quarters Ha-
waii six one half FRANK out sixth
period strained leg tendon probably
able play Wednesday"
1t would be interesting to know
Just how the score stood when Ha-
waits crack back was forced to retire
from the game. To play two periods
without Frank Baldwin was tremen-
dous handicap to the team. not only
on account OF the loss or q sure and
heavy hitter, but because q general
shakeup and shifting at the last or

tends to break up combination.
Undoubtedly when FRANK baldwin
was hurt, Arthur Rice switched from
No. to back, while Sam Baldwin
went In at No. 1. This would make
exactly the same team that won the
interEsland championship for Oahu
last year. However, late MAJ; a6vices

Is too bad that the Hawaii team has

would be Invaluable to the team, and
it is great pity that he didn't make
the trip.
Frank Baldwin wrote his brother
some days ago that the team hardly
expected to win from Coronado, which
is represented by some or the fastest
players in the United States. Cap
