here. Oahu has the edge in the race
thus far for honors, but Maui has al
ways faced the mark with a great
com bination, mounted on the best
ponies that could be secured
Sam Baldwin to Play
This year Maui will go after the
title, and should the Valley island con-
tingent carry away the victory on Sat
urdsy, 1t is certain that they will be
big favorites over the army. Despite
the fact that Arthur Collins will be
unable to play, the Maui team will
be strong Sam Baldwin will perhaps
be seen at No / in the Saturday
match.
Sam Baldwin played a brilliant
game with the Oahu team a few years
ago, and was selected as one Of the
Representatives on the tour OF the Pa
cific coast, and his playing in the
matches there when Frank Baldwin
was injured created much favorable
comment. That be will be a big fac.
tor in the play on Saturday is certain

Harold Rice has brought over nine
ponies for his own use in the big bat
tie. and this means a warm up pony
for each period. With about 80 ponies
