Il Honolulu was amply proven yes
terday afternoon when the league
by five goals to nothing.
When the H. M. 8. Icarus was here
her team defeated the Scotch eleven,
and as the Icarians succumbed to the
flagship representatives SO, form point
ed to a decisive victory for the visitors
over the Hoot Mons. Perfect combin-
alton and fast work upset calculations,
! however, and for the second time the
"Jackies" went down to defeat.
The weather was again very threat
ening and showers rendered the ball
very tricky. The game was scheduled
to start at o'clock, but it was half an
hour later before the kickoff took
place. Twenty minute halves were
played and during the latter half OF the
game the light was anything but satis

field one man short, but after the game
had been in progress for hfteen MIN

were badly handicapped later by an
accident which dislocated Watson's an

time of the accident Watson had been
playing star game and his withdrawal

The Scotch team was about as strong
a one as could be got together. Lennox
took the place of D. w. Anderson, who
was unable to play. The visitors team
was a different one from that which
took part in the first game and was
almost entirely composed of men of an
d other watch. 1t is almost impossible
n for the sailors to put their strongest

n could do so they would have an excel
