Golf bids fair to be a favorite sport
this season. Some enthusiasts are al
ready making daily trips to the
grounds of the local Valley Club. AS
golf has been the craze on the Main
land for many seasons past and in
dulged in here to some extent, 1t is eX-
pected it will secure a firm foothold in
Honolulu and be the chief thought of
those who go in for mild athletics, for
some time to come.
The tennis courts are seeing earnest
playing nowadays, preparatory to the
tournaments which will be held in
May. Local enthusiasm is reused to
