the red for the winter season
The plans of the men who are lnler-
ested in the sport are for the formanel
of a league which eOntemplates Ant
plaving of at the least two games earh
between the various clubs. 1t IS a9So
the intention to have the season begin
so late that there may be games S9h

was not the case last year. The seasoE
may begin about the middle OF 'Noyern-
Der and close with the second week H

be teams of the artillery and perhaps
of the Kamehamehas i'm the league once
it's plans have been formed.
