Team Play Keynote. -.=
THE incest things said about the
Hawaiians were in regard to the
team play shown I never saw more
unselfish polo. and all thought of
personal glory was buried in the wish
to play good combination game.
Stevenson and Beadleson, the Eastern
cracks, gave US a number of compile
ments on this score, and the San
Mateo critics were equally eompli
mentary. They said that Hawaii
showed the best team work ever seen
in California.
:. THE ponies came through the
campaign splendidly, and were a big
surprise to number of people who
bad an idea that Hawaiian breds
didn't amount to much Three of
them. DIR. Baldwin's Garry the News,
Frank Baldwin's Dancy. anG my pony,
Helen C, were borrowed for use in
the international games, which is
quite compliment.
I'VE liked playing conditions at
Coronado better than at San Mateo.
The climate was more like Hawaii,
and we were able to do better As
10 the players themselves, there
wasn't the shadow of a disagreement
or a dissention during the entire
time which anyone familiar with the
strain and nerve rack of continued
close matches will admit is out of the
ordinary"
All Were Stars.
Frank Baldwin, Arthur Rice and
Harold Castle have all come in for
special comment in the newspapers
from time to time for their exception
ally brilliant playing. As would be
natural in a long series of match
games, each man had his on-day
when he could ride anywhere and hit
any kind of a ball from any angle.
The riding and hitting OF all has
been much commented on Sam
Baldwin, who was in the saddle when
his brother was on the injured list,
also comes in for big share Of praise
from his team mates.
"A great trip" said Frank Baldwin.

luck in getting laid out, and may not
get my leg in good shape for a year.

self together with, and was able to
play the last three games somehow
or other"
Fine time, but mighty glad to be
home again" said Arthur Rice flash
ing the famous Rice smile Wish we
could have cleaned up but we haven't
much cause to be discouraged at the
general showing. Malcolm Steven
son told us that there were only two
teams in the east. the Meadowbrooks
and one other, and about two teams
in England, that would figure to beat
Hawaii
Hawaii didn't have to take a back
seat in the matter of ponies" said
Harold Castle. 'FWhy, I was never
once overhauled when / was up on

dy and Helen G opened their eyes
some They are considered good
enough for the international matches,
while none of the Northern California
ponies were asked for. We had a
royal time, and only hope they
come down here next year as they
have promised and give us another
chance on our own field"
The ponies are scheduled to come
back on the Honolulan, due here on
the 22rd of this month They are all
in good condition, and Peter Harmon
their trainer and manager of the
stable, comes in for lots of praice
from the members of the team for
his handling of the string.
Tonight the returned players will
be the guests of honor at polo din

Club.
