SPORT NOTES

The rule forbidding any player using
the links before a tournament is play
ed, will be strictly enforced the day
of the White Rock tournament the 10th
of November at Haleiwa. Last Sun
day number of golfers played on the
links at the Country Club before the
tournament was started, and although
some claim it is allowed, the commit
tee who have the White Rock tourna-
ment in charge have decided that it
will not be allowed at Haleiwa
J. w. Harvey won for the third time
yesterday afternoon the recent chal-
lenge cup offered by the Hawaiian Gun
Club. Only three members were pre-
sent at the shoot, and Harvey had lit
tie trouble in winning. His score was
eight out of ten birds. The rules gov.
erning the past shoots for the recent
cup offered by the club have not prov.
ed popular with the members, and it is
very probable that shooting at I'M
known angles will not be attempted
again.
