Some one once said in a moment OF
inspiration that little oaks from
hcorns grow, and this PIN asa has
been mach copied in referring to the
foundations OF al movements. Hawaii
IS 70 have the cnamV ionship in polo
within the next few years, and the
foundation Vas laic yesterday after
noon.
The showing made by the young.
sters was q distinct surprise to the
many 0nio0kers who expected 10 see
laughalle performance by the
youthful riders. From the momen;
that Walter Dillingham; threw out the
first ball until the tired riders had
made the last stroke the spectators
witnessed real riding. sterling shots
and polo as Il should be played.
Good Riders
To begin with the boys know how
TO ride. Praise was given TO many OF
the boys who had seats which would
compare with older players. In the
second place the boys have learned the
game as Il should be=i,layed. When.
Che bah vas tnssed ont TOR 3 run the
players took their positions like vet
Grams and only once during the game
was the back out OF position.
There was not one accident TO mar
the play, despite the TACT that the
boys used an their ability in making
dashes down the fieid and turning the
ponies like experts Honolulu polo eK.
Terts we're surprised at the showing
made hy the buys. and the Wild dash
OF Jack Walker nearly the length OF
the field was, one Of the prettiest polo
exhibitions seen In Honolulu in some
tine, taking seniors. juniors and 50,
homores into consideration.
zeal Enthusiasts
There were a0out co automobiles
larked along the edge OF the field, con.
tanning the proud parents OF the
youngsters ana POLO enthusiasts. Tho
little brothers and sisters were lined
along the field, and when the time was
nearly MP for the last period, one
young lady,sa supporter OF the blues,
urged the man az the bell 20 prolOna
the LIE Of tue game There was no
action such As N -cHrfew shall mol
ring tonight, and as q result the cruel
man tolled the knell OF parting day.
the Blues were defeated and the crowd
5ouTneyed home to talk Of the plaudits
IL me young pole knights.
The game IN Itself was an exhibit
ton that vas more than worth While
n WASH inter esting solely because
the youngsters were beng given a
chance To perform, but because they
knew how u play the game. The
strength was laeklng but that Was
about the org diseernable polo lapse
hanging aroano yesterday.
walker star
There we're a number Of stars In the
game. but the work OF Jack Walker
was one q, che bright features OF the
play. The little fellow who is not yet
in rs teens ran away With the ball on
two occasiuns and made four hits rid
ink az full speed. His last goal in the
last period Vas q pretty piece OF work.
Walter Macfarlane, VINO Is but
years old, must have been watching
Walter DiIlingham play the game. he
was mounted on q pony none too fast,
but little Walter watched the bali
every moment, and his ability TO get
the ball out on short hits gave his
team an opportunity TO score on two
occasions. Once he completely fooled
Peter Harmon, who was making dash
for a goal. His work stood out In the
third period when he rode his man off,
and in the fourth period when he
scored q clean goal on an angle shot.
