VS.. England team. This will give
forty-four men an opportunity and will
no doubt be greatly appreciated.
When the proposed league is in ex-
istence II would be well to give II pow
er to regulate all inter-club matches.
Application for the use Of ground
should be made to the league secretary,
who should be authorized to grant per-
mission for its use al certain time on
a specified date. Failure to make use
OF this permission should cause ii to be
cancelled. This would prevent matches
being postponed and would make men
turn out in good time. as any failure to
play the match would cause ii to be
abandoned. Legislation on this point is
very necessary with the present limited
space. The ground is far too valuable
TO be allowed to stand idle for a week
or for match to take a fortnight to
play while nearly n hundred other
players are waiting to make use Of it,
In a short time IL Is hoped that each
club will make out its future card for
the whole season and all difficulties of
the above nature will then be obviated.
I've look forward to the time when each
club will not only do this but have its
own private ground.

A Week Of Quiet
Follows Live
One.

a WEEK of great activity In Assoc
citation circles has been succeed
ed by one of comparative quiet.
The only event of great Importance 60
chronicle is the meeting OF the English
Club at the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION on Thursday last. Still, al
though much movement has not been
apparent among the other clubs, good
work has been done and the week has
been one of steady progress.
Seeker will now be played on most
evenings of the week at the drill shed.
The Scots were the first to select two
evenings and Thursdays
for practice and now the old Iolani
boys will turn out on Mondays and
Fridays and the English on Mondays
and Wednesdays, so that the ball will
be kept merrily going. 1t is to be
hoped that the various captains will
keep their men up to correct pitch in
the matter of attendance at these in
formal games, as they are very neces-
sary to the continuance of the game
and the vitality of club can always
be well eauged by the attendance of its
members at practices.
a great drawback to the game is the
lack Of available grounds. Only one is
procureble at present and this only al
lows one match per week until players
can be induced to turn out earlier in
the afternoon. With four clubs play
ing. this means that men have to wait
at least a fortnight for their matches
ard players who are not in the first
eleven of their clubs hardly get a
chance 10 play at all. 1t should be In
the rover of every PLAYER to get a
match each week but until some other
grounds can be obtaired 1t is difficult
to see how this can be brought about.
A new departure is to be made today
which will greatly relieve this pres
sure. Two sets OF goals will be erect
ID at Makiki at right angles to the
presept line of play and two matches
are down to be played this afternoon
simultaneously in Cation and Nell VS.
