Is hONOLOLO. L EbhO An
coast complete with men here has not
yet been abandoned Nothing would
conduce more TO the welfare Of tennis
on the Islands than TO have such COM
petition.
D. Howard Hitchcock of the P. T. c.
will be back from Hawaii in time TO
practice for the tournament. He will
probably play in doubles with S. G.
Wilder.
Frank Atherton's physician has alb
solutely refused 20 allow him to enter
the tournament. His playing in COM
pany with his brother in doubles
against a team from the P. T. C.'s near
" two years ago. viii be well remem-
bered by many.
Willow Baldwin. of Makaweli, Kau-
al, who is we'll known for his dexter
ity with the racket, may compete in
the tournament, but this is doubtful,
If the contests were 10 be in September
there would be no question
The PIN" racket is being used quite
extensively by tennis players of the
city, but the old stand by, the Sears
Special still holds its own.
CRICKET CHIRRUPS.
The return match between the Ho-
nOlulu Cricket club and H. B. NJ s.

or two. Their team will be made up of

LIGHTLY ON THE WATER.
AT 1870 D. m. today there will be a
meeting of the rowing association for
the purpose of deciding on whether or
no the championship races are to be
held in May. In last years races the
four-oared championship shell race
and the four-oared junior shell race
were both won by the Myrtles. Be
sides deciding on the point mentioned
above other matters will be consider
ed
The Myrtle Boat Club is rejoicing
over the acquisition of seven very
active members. Here are the names:
DR.. H. G. Sloggett, F. T. Hayselden,
e. B. Barthrop, H. P. Judd, F. Davey,
w. Damon, and H. Travenen. Since
the election of the above several other
applications have been received.
Two or three crews are Just starting
into training in both shell and barge.
Leslie Scott, Donald Ross and several
younger members constitute new
blood that gives promise of great
things in the future.
The Healani club has taken a new
lease of life since George R. Carter
became captain. Good evidence Of
this lies in the fact that since he was
chosen captain there has been an addi-
ton of % members. He has taken
the new men and trained them in the
new methods The older members are
acquainted with his methods and so
he will not spend much of his time
with them until the regatta approaches.
Then he will take all in hand and train
them together.
Charles Walker is now engaged in
building a two-Oared sliding seat
coaching shell so that George Carter
or any other coach can take out two
men at a time and have them directly
under their eyes at all times.
Financially the Healanis have not
been very Flush" lately but they have
| looked the matter straight in the face
and have decided to cut down all ex-
penses so as to pay their debt incurred
by the building of the new house.
| For this reason no new boats will
| be ordered this year unless the way
be clear to purchase new barge which
is very much needed.
| Not much practice was done in De
| cember and January but it will soon
pick I'D and things will boom. A Sc
ries of club races will be the next move
| this to stimulate more interest and
keep the members in good trim.
The LeilaniS are not saying very
much; but just wait until they get their
club house and then watch things fly:
BAT AND BALL.
In regard to baseball there isn't very
much. The st. Louis boys started out
with a team about three weeks age
and have since that time been clamor-
ing for meeting of the association
for the purpose of deciding on ar
early season. Whether some OF the
other teams or rather members OF las
years teams are trying to give the
move a black eye or whether they
haven't found any time, is not known
but it is a fact that although it has
been several times sought to get the
baseball men together there has beer
a conspicuous absence on each occa
