AMERICA TO

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. 10-The an
nouncement of an association football
match between America and England,
to be played at the Crystal Palace
grounds, London, next April, has stir
red up the 'socker' players in the
East, and there promises to be keen
rivalry for places on the American
team. The selection committee will
choose only the best players, and as
there are nearly six months before the
team will leave for England, the play
ers will have a good opportunity to
prepare for the trip. A meeting of the
selection committee will shortly be held
to complete the details of the trip.
Francis H. Tabor, president of the
New York State Football Association,
will be the New York representative on
the committee.
Invitations have been sent to Yale,

"A TRACK
IS WANTED
Local Horsemen Are
Hungry for Good
Races.

| There is a movement on foot among
! a track here and put the game back
on it's old thriving basis.
Maui and Hawaii have their tracks
and annual meetings but the sport OF
kings has been suffered to die in the
Hawaiian metropolis.
The reason for this has been that
since the county improved Kapiolani
Park by tearing down the fencing and
removing the stabling, there has been
no place in Honolulu wnerc a horse
could be raced.
There are plenty of horses in the is
lands and some of more than fair
quality. On Hawaii there is a crop of
young thoroughbreds which may well
contain a flyer or two.
The proposition of the horsemen is
to organize a company, purchase a
piece of land for a track and run
things on strictly business basis. The
days of horse-racing as a picnic fea-
ture have forever vanished.
The old guard of horsemen would
certainly support a new track and the
polo playing contingent is said to be
warmly in favor of it. Then there are
two or three wealthy men in town who
love horses and would go miles to see
their colors flash down the home
stretch once again Their support to
the proposition is likely to be of a very
liberal nature.
With a good track there might be
two weeks of racing once a year and
special programs for the local owners
on holidays. With fair purses offered
and advertised on the mainland there
is little doubt that at the end of the
Californian racing season a number of
owners could be found who would be
glad to ship a horse or two to Homo
lulu for the races and with the pros
pect of being able to dispose of their
stock in the islands.
Two pieces OF land are being consid-
cred for the location of track. One
is on the Beach road. The objection
to this is that it would require a lot
of expensive filling.
The other likely land is at the COM
mencement of Manoa valley near where
the Gun Club has it's quarters at pres
ent.
Sixteen acres are necessary for a
halI-Hlile track ana tneSe can De pro-
cured in the place mentioned, the
ground being almost level.
The reservation would be 1000 feet by
1900 feet. 1t is less than three hundred
yards from the car line and is remark
ably free from heavy winds and show
ers.
This site. which is being discussed
by several prominent turf-lovers at
present can be bought for $4,000 an acre.
The matter may be expected to take
more definite shape in the not distant
future.

MALES IN

Seeker enthusiasts had an opportu-
| nifty of watching two good games at
the baseball park yesterday afternoon,
in which the kickers from the Punahou
College routed the Infantry eleven and
the green-stockinged Males dimmed
the Iuster of the Diamond Heads with
two goals to a. goose egg. The latter
game was an especially fast one. the
outcome being in doubt almost until
the end.
The nfantry-Punahou game was
scheduled as the starter In this the
soldiers had much the best of it so
far as weight was concerned, but so
far as knowledge of the, game went the
block. The soldiers played without any
visible attempt at combination. their
forward line massing UP and interfer-
ing with each other. when a more open
style of playing would have benefited
them

their left wing being strong. Cation.

CRICKET FIGHT
NOW FINISHED

MELBOURNE, November 10-The
cricket crisis is over. and a matter
which has occupied the minds of so
many on this side has happily ended
in all differences as to the past being
buried. The one result of the whole
deal has been the far-reaching infiu-
ence of the squabble. People who at
any ordinary time are rather peaceably

many, too, suddenly realized how their
interests were affected. Many of the
members of the great grounds in Adel-

aroused to the fact that their claims to
recognition had been very much over

All these things tended to show what
a vast number of interests We're wrap

Australia to the other thousands of en-
thusiasts were watching the trend of

it was realized that the prolongation

FIELD NOTES.
(By Wennitz Dunne.)

(By Wennitz Dunne.)
Never let your gun
Pointed be at any one;
Tho 1t may unloaded be
Matters not the least to me.
When a hedge or ditch you cross
Tho of time it causes loss,
From the gun your cartridge take
For the greater safety sake.
If 'twixt you and another gun,
Bird may fly or beast may run,
Let this maxim e'er be thine
Follow not across the line
Dog or hunter oft unseen
Lurk behind some leafy screen.
Calm and steady always be;
Shoot not where you cannot see.
Keep your post and silent be.
Game can hear and game can see;
Don't be greedy: better spared
Is bird than one shared.
You may kill or you may miss,
But at all times think of this:
All the ducks ever bred
Won't repay for one man dead.

shape affording many periods of good,
fast ball. The Heads had possibly the
faster forwards but they were UP

Male backs. who smashed up their
rushes time and again and kept their
flags cleared
The game was fast from the start and
the checking heavy, Bob Anderson and
j. Clarke being out from body jolts at
different stages of the game. The fast
playing was perhaps responsible for
considerable interfering and some
charging, in which the principal Offend
ers were the Heads. Referee Waldron

offenses, however. keeping the playing

The biggest crowd of the season was

Both scores were made from forward
passes and each half saw a touchdown.
The ground was sticky from the over
night rain and the men fell soft. Not
a man was placed hors de combat;
/ remarkable record for a game.
The slippery ground had its disad-
vantages, however, in that it initiated
against high grade football.
The Punahou crew rooted to rec
ord from start to finish. The Kane
haneha choir started out in excellent
voice, but developed a bad case of frog
in-the-throat when the game began to
go against them.

feature of the game.
The Kams did some good individusl
work, but were sadly deficient in team
work. They are better wrestlers than
football players.
Coaching told the tale. The winners
have been inteIligently tutored in the
fine points of the game by one who
