derers was the, outcome of Saturdays
encounter at Makiki.
The Indictment weather no doubt &C
counted for the meager attendance of
spectators, but those who We're bold
enough to face the elements We're
treated to a fine exhibition of the AS
ISOLATION game.
At commencement of hostilities the
teams were found to be minus several
of the players, and the lineup was as
follows:
Hornets-Goal, Sinclair; backs, Nc
Gill and Soper; halves. Eennox and
Kay; forwards, Munro Goudie, Lans-
dale and Morse.
Wanderers-Goal Cumming; backs,
Craik and r. Anderson; halves, Black
man. Bottomly and D. w Anderson,
forwards Guild, Fiddes, Cockburn and
Cation.
Mr.. Garvin acted as referee, and
Messrs Mist and Stokes OBLIGATED on
the line.
The Hornets won the toss, and elect
ed to- defend the mauka goal. Fiddes
kicked off uphill for the Wanderers,
who by fine combination carried the
ball well up and came within an ace
of scoring, two minutes from the start.
The ground was somewhat soft, but
did not materially affect the play or
the respective teams, ~Who We're both
going stronghold this stage.
The Wanderers were continually
pressing. and gave their opponents no
end of trouble to keep their goal IN
tact From a corner kick i'll the Hor-
nets territory the ball was cleverly
carried out by McGill. who was play
ing a dashing game, and time ana
again averted disaster for his side.
The continuous attack of the Wander
ers was beginning to get monotonouS
and a breakaway by the Hornets gave
the opposing forwards little breath
ing space, which was greatly appre-
ciated. The Hornets seemed to Waken
up after this, and soon goal was
scored with soft shot, which GER
tainly might have been stopped.
This stroke of luck seemed to rouse
the lethargic Hornets who soon after
the Kickoff from midfield again added
to their score with another tame and
saveable shot.
The Hornets We're certainly having
all the potluck a going, and the same
cannot be said of the Wanderers, who
were experiencing the hardest of hard
luck on many occasions. Not to be
denied however. the Wanderers still
maintained the pressure, and corner
after corner fell to their lot, but could
not be improved upon. From one of
the many corners the ball was we'll
centered, and Fiddes put in a singing
shot, which Sinclair saved by falling
on the ball, and Cockburn rushing up,
almost scored. A goal was claimed by
the Wanderers. but was not allowed.
From the goal kick the Hornets took
up the running, and by good combina-
ton carried the ball well down field
