The Sporting Situation


Now that the baseball season Is pau
as far as the Senior League Is concern
ed the attention OF the sports are
drawn to other matters. However there
does not seem to be much else to at
tract attention and 1t win probably be
matter of months before any thing
definite is before the sporting public
on Saturday last when the usual time
came for the bah players and fans to
gather at the baseball park the only
thing i'm sight for them vas to stand
upon the street corners and talk over
the past season. They were apparent
ly as helpless as a farmer i'm ball
room. As a last resort a large number
of the boys repaired to the beach where
surfing was INDUCED in. The after
noon was passed i'm that manner
The past ball season has been on the
whole successful OF course there were
disputes, squabbles and quarreling but
now that it is all over and those things
forgotten for the greater part the fans
speak of the various good games that
were played during the year. For there
was many a good game played and
many a game that brought the fans
approvngly to their feet. While the
older fans would remark that "you
should have seen the games of 1903" or
or or whatever it was, within a year
or two the fans will date back to 1906
as a season full of remarkable games.
1t was ever thus and will ever con-
tinue the same for with time the hui
man mind forgets troubles and remem-
bers only the brighter side of things
PROSPECTS FOR FOOTBALL.
From the present indications there
will be nothing doing in football as
far as the Senior League is concerned.
In speaking of football, intercollegiate
is assumed. The senior teams SEEM
ingly have lost interest and unless
something developes soon it will be too
late.
However the apparent lethargy on
the part of the senior teams has not
spread to the interscholastic teams.
The Kams have been out for practice
for some time and Punahous were not
slow in following suit, The High
School would enter a team but have not
the material with which to work. st.
Louis may come i'm but as yet have
The late rules adopted for the inter-
collegiate game will be played i'm Ho-
nolulu. Both the Puns and the Kams
are working over them and are said
to be making great strides in learning
the game. Nothing seems to have been
lost in the interest on the part of the
spectators in the new rules for the same
tactics are employed with less likeli-
hood of danger. The boys learn the
game fast and it takes the same Drawn
and courage for the revised edition of
football. few good games will be
seen without a doubt.
LOOKOUT FOR SOCKER.
The socker style of football is flourish
ing. There will no doubt be some great
games of the sport played The Iolanis
of last year will have their places in
the league taken by the Kamehamehas.
The Y. NJ. c. A. team VIII be a formid-
able one this year for they have OBJ
tanned the services of some of the best
players in the other teams of last year.
l.. G .Blackman Naid to be without a
peer in the islands will captain them
