lFrom SUNDAY Advertiserl.

/ Park yesterday afternoon, for
both in the race and the polo game the
favorites lost in the last moment Of
exciting contests satisfsx ran a
beautiful race, but yielded to oneonta
in tbs. home stretch, while the Army
whiekrplayed splendid hard and fast
game Of polo and had commanding
lead at one time, lost TO the lighting
Kauai four in the last minute almost
the last second--of the final chukkur,
/ the score standing at Az to 4.
| When Oneonta. after a driving race
from the drop of the barrier took the
lead az the horses flashed by the five
| eighths pole, there was a deep sigh
one favorite had been nosed out by
superior stamina Of the bay horse,
1t was hard race from the start.
Satisfax, the black mare, was favor.
lite with the fancy and the crowd,
and she took the rail as the barrier fell
and went right to the front amid the
yells Of the crowd. Johnny Carol, who
was riding oneonta for the owner,
Mrs. Walter +. Dillingham; began to use
the whip at once, and pressed the mare
10 the top Of her speed TO Keep her lead.
1T. A. X. G. Palmer, who was riding
Satisfax for the owner 1t X. f. ID.
Hoyle, make splendid losing ride. He
kept the mare in her stride with whip
and hand and knee but at the FIVE
eighth 5 she could do NO more and be-
gan 10 tire rapidly. Oneonta who had
been gaining steadily for some time,
moved up and took the rail, and soon
day light began to show between the
| tail of the island horse and the, nose
Of the mare, At the finish Oneonta was
a good length in the lead The time
on the heavy track was 1:43.
In the fatal moment Of the polo game
Jay Gould took the ball down the field,
and by a series Of fast dribbling strokes
drove II squarely between the posts Of
the goal for the winning point. In.
deed Gould's hard drives, beautiful
saves and generally, consistent work
in the game pulled the game out of the
| FIRE for the Red and White on more
than one nearly fatal occasion, Iand
made him the hero of the days play.
Dramatic Ending ,n'.t, '1jEl.N@ &
Perhaps no polo game ever witnessed
on Kapiolani field, or any polo field for
ish At the end Of the first half the
teams were tied ] y all, but the Service
men took the lead in the fifth ehukkur,
and increased il until the, score stood
AZ to III in their favor. The Kauai
men came back 20 the lists in the
eighth period, with the determination
Of fighters on their faces and by hard
playing, desperate riding, and excellent
team work, came up from the rear,
overlook the Army, and won by one
half point. " r#E ts?
A ninth inning rally with the losers
one point behind, the bases full and
a Ty Cobb Mt bat; or football game
with two yards to 60 for touchdown
and thirty seconds left TO play; or q
horse race with three Of the ponies
abreast coming down the home stretch;
none of these could have brought the
crowd of spectators to their feet any
quicker than did the Kauai players
when they started their eighth chukkur
drive. Ei@y -,
| The result yesterday was so surpris-
ing that Il left the crowds in the
grandstands, and the spectators in the
motors along the side board, in sort

Army Played Hard 1
The Army ran away with the game,
only 10 meet defeat in the last minute
of play. 1t cannot be said that the
men from the hill don Z play all the
way, for they fought every second Of
the hour of play and lost because of
sudden rally by their opponents.
Every man On both teams played
splendidly, but the work of Jay Gould
and Lieutenant Beard stands ont as
features. ...s IH|.y y.
Gould was closely followed by Ma
lima for honOrs. The plucky Hawaiian
rode of his man in good fashion, and
his hitting and saves kept the score
from reaching greater lead. Gould
| proved beyond doubt that he is as
lclever with q mallet as with a racket
Time and again he sliced the ball out
| OF danger or sent the little white
| sphere down the field with true strokes.
Charles Rice did not play so spectacu-
lar a game, but his consistent work
was responsible TO large extent for
his team coming up in the last period.
James Spaulding was ever present and
ebgaged in every mixup.
II had been said that many Of the
Kauai ponies had just been takentfrom
the pillow and the pasture, but II did
not seem 10. affect their playing. The
speed shown by some of Gould =
mounts was a revelation, and the pony
he rode in the seventh period should
have been on the track in the sweep
stakes. IL. ",rrI +.
Army Team Has Jinx
| The Army men seem TO carry a
hoodOo Of some sort with them. They
should have beaten Oahu, but they did
not, Then, with good lead over
Maui, they looked like sure winners,
but were forced to defeat in the extra
/ chukkur. And yesterday people were
ready to leave in the seventh period
and cOncede the SehOfeh players the
game; but Fortune is unruly, and the
dame willed that the service men
should lose. ~ q Et

despite the rumOr that he would retire
