r CALCULATING the opening Of

the inter'island series for 1915
in one Of the most inter
esting and one Of the best play
ed matches seen on Kapiolani Field
since its formal opening, the Oahu
polo team defeated the newly or
eeniEed Kauai four by the score Of
l. AN Yesterday. The score Is ia,
from indicating the class of the game
Every goal was hard fought, and only
1,'fne very excellent saves by the OAHU
quartet kept the tallNing as one. sided
az il was. "
Considering the fact that the Garden
Island four has been = kcd less thar
three weeks and that the Oahu team
has been playing together consider,
able longer time, the results of yestef

than might be expected. At any rate
he first game of the championship sc,

next to Dillingham; for high hohors fol
the Oahu team. Arthur Rice was not
az much in, evidence in yesterday i
play as he has usually been in practise
matches. Walter Macfarlane hardly
got down to work until the seventh
chukkur He was unable to find the
ball for anything like a long shot dur
ing the entire first half Af,er h,

game. however, he showed fash OF
real playing.
Gould and Malina Excel
For the losing team Jay Gould
starred and Charles MaIina was hardly
less in the limelight. The mainland
star was everywhere on the field at
once, His string of polo ponies were u
| revelation to the enthusiasts who
watched yesterdays game. This is the
| first time Gould has been seen in &c,
ton in game here and the impression
he created as u poloist is that he il
well worthy of the ranking he has re
ceived as one of the best in the East
Malina is one of the hardest hitters
in the polo game. His long shot fol
a perfect goal in the seventh chukkur
was without a doubt the prettiest piece
of mallet work ever witnessed on
Kapiolam Park. Malina is said by
some to have lost some of the dash
with which he was wont to play in the
old championships but from the speed
of his ponies yesterday, it is extreme,
ly doubtful il any one could have had
more dash and go than the only Ha,
waiian player in the game here. All
in all, Malina was credit to thu
Garden Island team.
Spalding Series
The other goal made by the Gardc,
Island four was placed between tn
posts in the first period by j. NJ

c. A. Rice will play a much better
game after the opening Of the Sc. les
His work with the mallet yesterday
indicates that with a little more prac
ice he will once more round into on,
# the best wielders of the Islands.
