the game as has ever been seen here.
Maui played a more accurate game
I'M the opening periods, and seemed
to be faster. The Valley Islanders
had a lead of three goals, the cor
being five to eight in their favor
when the final chukker opened.
Harold Castle. of the Blue and White,
who had been playing in ill-luck all
day and missing shots with alarming
frequency. made a splendid rally and
almost single ahuded scored a pair OF
beautiful goals. In this final period
tho Oahu team ouJpiayod and outrod'
the .-auiau. at every part of the
.nukksr. and had there been a few
second more TO play il is just posi-
bic that the desperate play of Oahu
might have tied the score. As 1t
was Maui came O u winner by a seven
to eight score in one of the best games
OF polo ever seen here.
one certainty resulting from yester
DAVIS game is that the majority OF
those who Witnessed yesterdays con
test will hereafter be convinced that
an International player is in the max
inc over in Maui in the person OF I'd
Baldwin whose smashing drivers, ac-
curate CLIPS from disadyantageOus lies
of the ball. and wonderful riding made
him the outstanding player OF the day
not even excepting Harold Castle,
who is a player OF the true lnterna-
tiOnal type.
Young Baldwin started the specta-
tors several times during the after
noon with his spectacular play. once
in the second chukker he
the ball from a miss by Brown ana
swept il down the field and through
he posts with three beautiful shots.
In the third period he took two beau
tirul Iofted shots to make another
score from an acute angle. He was
high scoring man for the day with
four to his credit due of course in
most part to splendid feeding by the
other members of the team.
Harold Castle. Sam Baldwin and
Jimmy Spalding shared honors in the
matter of scoring, each securing three
points for their teams. Dave Flem-
ing and Arthur Rice each scored a
goal.
Maui's team was the better in the
first half OF the anne, and seemed TO
have the .Oahuans outgeneralled. This
status was changed in he later chuk-
kers and Oahu seemingly got to-
gether in a stronger offensive com
bine. Jimmy Spalding would have
been able to do more effective work
for Oahu if left nearer to the goal in
a position to pick up stray shots and
feeds from his own teammates.
The largest crowd ever turning out
for polo here was in evidence at kap1-
olani Yesterday. Every seat was TAX
en- and every automobile parking
space sold. Approximately 5000 peo-
PIE were on the sidelines.
Mai. c. Reynolds was referee, as
sisted by George Angus.
Play by Periods
Oahu opened with a squirt that fail
q when Sam Baldwin broke into the
melee and rushed the ball into the
vicinity of Oahu's goal. Harold Cas-
tie. on l9er was pounding at his heels
and finally saved in the nick of time.
Castle took the play back the other
way and got a likely looking oppor-
luritv by cutting the willow wood
away from the side boards. He failed
to set support and the play was lost.
Noboly scored in the first period.
EARLY in the second period Francis
Brown broke out of the scrimmage
with a smart shot that was passed
between the posts by Jimmy Spald-
ing for the first goal of the day. At
terward Brown, riding last with Ed
Baldwin playing him hard, missed an
open shot that was pOunced upon by
Ed Baldwin. Baldwin started a mac
ride down the field and shot the goal
single handed. Ed. Baldwin a few
seconds later scored n at the op-
posite end Of the field. Sam Baldwin
kept his hand in for the period by
scoring a short time later.
In the third cnukker the play was
hot and swung from one end OF the
field to the other with confusing speed
In the midst of a wild scrimmage
near the center line Frank Baldwin
picked GU the ball and fed forward
to Ed, who scored with a pair OF
beautiful smashes. San Baldwin put
one through in Is seconds after this.
IN the fourth chukker play was not
so fast. Jimmy Spalding scored one
minute and 10 seconds after the play
commenced. The half finished with
a , to 2 score in favor of Maui.
Second Half
The fifth chukker was well played,
although Castle was missing distress
ingIy. Three times he saved his side
from getting scored against, however,
and the Oahus held the play down I'M
IN five minutes and AZ seconds had
passed, when Dave Fleming of Maui
cfipped one between the posts.
In the sixth chukker Ed Baldwin
was to the fore again. Fed neatly
BY Frank Baldwin, he raced down a
clear field and rode the ball through
tne scoring space. Sam Baldwin fol-
lowed suit IS seconds later. Jimmy
Spalding cut the ball from Maui's pos
session and passed to Castle, who
took the play and scored. Arthur
Rice goaled as the bell rang.
The seventh chukker was a hard con
tested affair. No n scored until late
i'm the period when Francis Brown fed
into Spalding's reach and the Oahu
number n man shot the goal. At the
