The Male lltmas are the champions
OF association football this year. Yes
terday afternoon they secured for
themselves few laurels after a hot and
interesting battle with the last Of their
foes. the Honolulus, with whom they
had already had several pitched battles.
This decisive game played on the Ma
kiki grounds closes the association
football season.
A very large crowd witnessed the
contest.
The baseball game between the sol.
diers and the Honolulus. which was
played on the same grounds, lasted till
about 4:3O. thus delaying the beginning
of the football game. Many of the peo-
pie who had witnessed the baseball
game stayed on the field to see the foot
ball game and their number was SWELL
ed by the football habitues. which this
year is larger than II has ever been be.

follows:

Harvey. Paris. h. b.: Kay, Gruene, Me-
Whirter. Gears. Goudie. Hiltz, Fiddes.
1t was expected that the Honolulus
would make a much better showing
than they did. Their line Of forwards,
counting such men as McWhirter and
Goudie is a strong point and having
their tried back. Soper, back again II
was thought that they could make a
still better showing than they did on
the previous Saturday, when they won
the game against the Males despite the
fact that their defense was weaker than
usual. The Male Ilimas. who had Ia
play against the wind during the first
| half. strengthened their defense in con
sideration of this by putting Boyle
back from the forward line to the posi-
ton of center halfback.
The game began about i:45 p. m. ThI
