Baldwin Hurt.
Castle scored in 2.20 in the third,
and a minute later, just before Dill
bingham shot goal. Sam Baldwin met
with the accident that put him out OF
the game. He and Lyman were rid

making long reach for the ball. hit

and was made dizzy from the acci-
cent. Arthur Rice took his place, and
the shift of positions above noted
went into effect. A trifie more than
minutes of play remained. and In
this time Castle shot another goal,
y
half time. Half goal was deducted
in this period for penalty against
Macfarlane.
Rice, Dillingham;, Castle and Dill
Ingham again, scored in the fourth,
the army players being up on ponies
that had already played one hard per
iod, and THAT showed their lack OF
class when called upon for second
time.
Macfarlane shot pretty goal min
utes after the fifth frame opened, this
being the only score Of the chukkur.
Rice and Castle scored in the sixth
and last period. 1t was In this chuk-
kur that the cavalry twice failed to
shoot the mauka goal, when success
seemed certain.
Cavalry Improved.
Taken as a whole. the army four
played its best polo In the first. fifth
and sixth periods. The players were
little demoralized in the mid part of
the game, but improved toward the
end. in spite of the fact that they
were riding tired ponies OF the in

most chances to show his form. and
showed to excellent advantage. He
hits well, and has the knack of get.

sees an opening for q rum Cheney
played heady game at back, and
made some clever saves, In spite Of
the fact that Walter Macfarlane was
riding him hard most of the time.
Lyman at 8, and Cook at 2, who also
had the responsibility of captaining
the team, did their parts In approved
style.
The five men who wore the blue OF
Oahu played the game all the time.
with the exception of a few breaks In
team work before mentioned They
won so easily that they would have
been foolish to risk themselves and
their ponies by putting on added pace.
and unless a polo team is going ham,

brilliantly. perhaps more so than any
OF his teammates. Baldwin was hit

judgment as well as good polo, for
Captain Walter Dillingham; showed
marked improvement over his hitting
of the last few weeks. He has been
of his stroke, owing to constant rid

Saturday he came back nicely, his
dribbling and turning of the ball be-
ing a feature He was also very ac-
curate on goal shots.
Crowd Not Large.
The crowd didn't come up to last

and very appreciative of the good
points of the play The arrangements
for handling the autos, and the work
of the mounted police in regulating
the traffic to and from the field were
excellent
