we're never in the running for a minute.
II was then that the Gate City defenders

they took It out on the umpires, the players
and the crowd in III natured beefng.
Every run OF the eight Omaha made was
earned, while the fact that the visitors
scored at all was due entirely to a very
yellow decision OF Umpire Moran on third
base in the fourth inning. Seventeen hits

more safe ones in the succeeding four.

even then there was nothing doing till

THE INFANT OF
ATHLETIC CLUBS

The Honolulu Athletic Club was or
ganized in May, 1901, with charter
membership of about fifty. The object
i" forming the club was to put before
the young men of Honolulu an organ
ization in which they could enjoy the
many advantages of physical culture
and development at practically no eX-
pense.
Up to the present time the club has
been striving to thrive under heavy
disadvantages owing to the lack of a
suitable club room in which to main
tain a gymnasium and reading room.
This one great drawback has been
overcome TO a large extent owing to
the fact they have secured a long
lease of the upper floor of the "Pettus
Building" on Alakea street, makai of
the Pacific mill, and are already fitting
1t up with a complete up-to-d date gym
nasiun, bath rooms and lockers, which
will be ready by January 1st, 1902. As
soon as they get settled in their new
quarters 1t is the intention of the club
to give monthly entertainments in their
rooms for the members.
Keys will be given to all members
and they are welcome with their guests
at all times; but no person not a mem

All the daily papers of Honolulu and

leading periodicals can be found in the
club rooms; card, checker and chess

members.
One night each week will be devoted
to the instruction of boxing, fencing
and wrestling. Every other night
when there is some game on will find
an instructor in the gymnasium TO get
the contestants into the best possible
form.
The Honolulu Athletic Club will en-
ter team in all amateur athletic
events with the intention and endeavor
of carrying off the laurels and If they
are beaten it will be only after a hard
battle. During the first six months of
its organization it has wrested the
baseball championship from the
stars" which team had held it from
1895. They We're defeated in the race
for the football championship simply
on account of lack of training and
management, but 1t is safe to say with
proper coaching they viii stand a good
chance of obtaining that championship
for the year 1902.
The club is only seven months old
yet 1t has the largest membership of
any athletic club in Honolulu. Its
charter calls for about so and ii has on
its list today 10 members. among
whom can be found some of the best
known business men here.
The Honolulu Athletic Club wishes to
extend to it's sister clubs Its hearty
greetings for the new year.

THE GROWTH OF POLO AND
ITS BID FOR FAVORlTISM

Not until the first match at Moanalua
teams had the interest of the Honolulu
public been aroused to the exhilerating
game of pony polo.
The game had it's first introduction in
the islands, however, some twenty years
previous to this. upon Hawaii, where
some Australians, on a ranch got to-
gether a; few enthusiasts and formed
the Kohala Polo Club. playing the Eng
lish game as they had learned 1t in the
Colonies.
With the removal of the Burkhardts
to Maui, the game died out on Hawaii
and came into prominence near the
ranch, where the above mentioned fam
lily were located. Here polo made such
strides that club, the Maui Polo Club
was organized and many an exciting
match played. Naturally enough, most
Of the players being ranchmen, their
riding was reckless and daring Then,
having the pick of many horses at their
disposal, many fine little ponies were
discovered and developed into bang
tailed polo ponies.
The games upon Maui were carried
on in true English style, the ponies be-

players sporting bright colors in their
uniforms.
This was the only polo in the islands
during this time. The interest was con
fined to Maui, which is generally cred
tied with having started polo here It
was the same men, however, who start
ed the game on both islands and COM
ing by the way of Australia, that is
why the English instead of the Ameri-
can game has been played here until
recently.
TO Honolulu, however, came the incep-
ton of polo on Oahu.
In April team of -four was chosen
to represent the Oahu Polo Club t>,at
had been duly organized with s. T.
Damon, president.
Anxious to test their prowess,
match was arranged with Maui, to be
played in Honolulu, as it was calculat-
ed to give polo stimulus here, also
to furnish valuable experience to the
newly initiated Oahu boys. Accordingly
a team from the Mokawao Polo Club,
which is a. recent outgrowth of the old

much longer shots where they connect

and to that they attribute their success
Not at all satisfied with the result
Maui asked for another game two days
later, and again did they suffer a de-
feat, this time by score of 10 to 5.
Desiring to retrieve their lost polo
reputation, last July Maui sent to Oahu
challenge for return match at Ma
kawao. Oahu accepted the invitation
and with S. E. Damon in Fleming s
place, went to Maui the last of thai
same month. Here Maui had the ad-
vantage of home grounds and put her
strongest four upon the field-Frank

Since that time no inter-island games
have been played. but the Polo Club has
been reorganized, taking in many re-
cruits, and a system of individual hand
icapping and the American rules have
been adopted.
Play has temporarily been transfer
red to Kapiolani Park, while the polo
grounds at Moanalua are undergoing
repairs and changes that will make
them of the highest order. This has

PACIFIC TENNIS
CLUBS DOINGS

The season of 1901 has been a very
active one and the members of the
Pacific Tennis Club have contributed
a great deal toward making it so. A
number Of club tournaments have
been held which has tended to raise
the standard of play; also a mems
double tournament. open to all, given
IL, the fall of the year and inaugurated
about three years ago.
a pair of silver cups was put up in
1899. open to all. for mems doubles, to
be won three times by the same play

For three years they were held as fol-
lows:
1899 by F. C. Anterior and c. H.

Mr.. w. NJ. Alexander of San Francisco,
is offered for competition to the mem
bers of the Pacific Tennis Club only,
for singles, and is to be played for,
about three weeks before the regular
championship games come off in the
spring. The idea is to stimulate the
members into good hard playing before
the big events are played. This cup
must be won three times by the same
person before it becomes his property.
In the 1901 championship games for
the islands the mems singles was won
by F. c. Atherton, and the mems
doubles by E. r. Adams and A. I.

BERETANIA CLUB
IN LOCAL TENNIS

All through the year exceptional in
terest has been shown by members OF
the club, three courts being frequently
going at the same time. and there has
been no difficulty in keeping the MEM
bership up to the limit, in fact, there
have been several names on the wait
ing list since the first OF the year.
While there has been no set day for
ladies, many have awaited themselves

In the morning. The courts are now
about two years old and were never in
better condition. Additions have re-
Gently been made to the club house in
the shape of lockers, etc, and it is no
exaggeration to say that it is as cosy
and comfortable as can be wished for.
In the annual spring tournament

a gallant fight but lost both in the
singles and doubles, Elston, winner of
the finals, going down before the steady
playing of Frank Atherton, and Elston
and Ross losing to Brock and Adams.
