UlTLANDERS
WANT TO KICK
Hackfeld & Co.'S Athletic En-
ployees Would Play Inter
collegiate Ball.

Hackfeld & Co. will be represented by
an intercollegiate football team this sea-
son. A club has been formed and two
practices have already taken place.
The instigator of the idea Is Aleck
Isenberg, who is keenly alive to the
benefits accruing from athletics. and
who is very desirous of introducing a
hankering after strenuous recreation
among the employees of his firm.
Mr.. C. P. Morse was deputed to get
the thing going. He is football play
er of large experience and in 1898 cap
tanned the team of the Olympic Club of
San Francisco. Last season ne was one
of the local Association code stars.
The Hackfeldians are nearly ali green
hands at ,ths game. the exceptions be-
ing Messrs. fDuisenberg. Harrison and
Gray who have had more or less pre-
vious experience.
At meeting of the club C. p. Morse
was appointed captain and coach of the
team.
Practice has been indulged in on the
last two Saturdays at Makiki when
the men showed considerable promise.
Morse says that they are getting onto
the game very rapidly although, Of
course. they have a lot to learn. Most
Germans are good at wrestling and
other branches of athletics. and should
therefore easily adapt themselves to
football as played under intercollegiate
rules.
The next practice will be he-o week
from today.
One game has already been arranged
with Theo. H. Davies & Co, TO be play
ed during the latter part of October.
The team. which viii probably aver
age r65 pounds, viii include: Messrs.
Klebahn Tschumi. Schultzer. Stopp.
Kruger. Stadtlander. Schmidt. Geary
Harrison. Duisenberg, Dunkhauser,
Glade. Miller Francis and Morse
Hackfald & Co win also organize an
Association football team, which will
oppose Theo. n. Davies & Co. in Mo-
vember. The team Llwill compete for
the Association league championship
The football affairs of the firm of
Theo. H Davies & Co. are being look
red after by George Angus. Mr.. Angus
on being interviewed yesterday. said
that as yet nothing much had been
done in the way of organizing teams.

"A occurred yesterday. afternoon at 3
o'clock on School street between the
School street bridge and Liliha street
in which the stable belonging to Mr..
Rice of the Stockyards narrowly es-
capped being burned to the ground. The
strange part of the circumstances lies
in the fact that in this stable are a
number of horses and vehicles which
we're saved from the disastrous Stock
yards fire of week ago.
Yesterdays fire burned three cot
tages and nearly all their contents to
the ground while the Kauiuwela school
was in danger for several minutes of
going with the residences. The prompt
action of the fire department and the
presence of vacant lot between the
burning cottages and the school saved
the latter from destruction.
THE fire is said to have started in the
residence of c. J. Hoke, which faces on
Kauluwela lane, the nearest to School
street. Mr.. Hoke states he does not
know exactly how the fire began. as he
was absent at the time. The fire gain
ed headway on account of a heavy Pail
wind. which shot the flames across an
intervening space to the cottage occu-
pied by Joaquin Freias, father of the
court interpreter. In a few minutes
three cottages were blazing fiercely.
The fire department was compelled to
make a wide detour of streets in order
to reach the fire, on account of the in
complete condition of the School street
bridge
The cottage of Mr.. Hoke was burned
to the ground, and that of Mr.. Freias
nearly so. The heavy winds carried
burning brands to neighboring houses
