Polo Players Popular on Coast
The San Francisco Examiner pub
fishes the following in its social col
umns:
Last Wednesday the gallant polo
players from the Hawaiian islands
sailed for home, leaving host of firm
friends waving handkerchilfs on the
dock. The 'Alohas' which followed the
big ship out into the stream were ev-
cry bit as sincere as any ever voiced
In the Paradise of the Pacific.
They made great hit on us, chose
. lands from the islands They played
great polo and they = we're thorough
sportsmen. They won games cleverly,
and when they lost 1t was in the spirit
that makes defeat noble thing.
They went down before our mighty
Slashers. but they gave us many ner-
yous chill before they did. sa.5;i.is
In the deciding game last Sunday
II was not until the very last that we
relaxed from the tense fear that the
All-Hawaii fighting spirit and beauti-
ful team work would wrest the VIC
tory from us It was great game,
well won and well lost
The visitors themselves heap most
Of the blame for their defeat upon
Bill Devereux. Trey speak in admir-
ing tones of his whiflw5nd' game, his
unstoppable dashes and. long and ac-
cnrate hitting. And they see in young
VIII Tevis a fast-eoming and brilliant
player. Indeed, they declare the
SlAshers were in no way handicapped
In the final game by playing Tevis in
stead Of Tobin; on the contrary.
"Ths party that sailed Wednesday
consisted OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bald
win, Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Dillingham;,
Mr.. and Mrs. r. p Lathrop, Arthur
Rice and Harold Castle. Society peo-
pie who have been at fever heat over
polo for mary weeks went down TO
the boat 10 see them off. Here's bop
ing we will see them here for the next
tournament"
