The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1908-12-09

The Current Event Club had an en-
joyabIe session Thursday afternoon.
The lesson was on Domestic Science.
Mrs. S. G. Wright demonstrated the
fireless cooker and served the mem
bers with cured chicken. Mrs. Chas.
Bollen proved that she knew how to
prepare croutons, and Mrs. Jensen
talked learnedly on tea and then
served all with "the cup that cheers
but not inebriates. -
Since that harmony banquet there
ought to be revival of interest in
the Commercial Club. just at this
time there are many things which
could be done for Denison aud discus
sion and investigation are needed to
further intelligent CO. cooperation. There
is no coed reason why any progressive
business man should not belong to
the commercial club. We believe
it would pay the club to make de-
termined effort to get back into the
club any who may have dropped out
and to canvass for new members.
The reinstatement fees should be re-
mitted and the entrance fee lowered
for short time in order that all may
join. We trust that no one will let
personal reasons prevent him from
belonging to this club which can be
made such An engine for good.

went way out in left field while Rit-

plate. Leslie secured a hit and Shell

in left. Cella's grounder to Green
stopped Kimball at third and the
agony was over.
Pine Bluff ought to have scored in
several innings. With one little hit
Taylor might have gone home. He
reached second twice on long drives,
but his co-batters could not help him
along. The best opportunity present.
ed the locals to score was in the
fourth when Clayton walked and Tay-
lor hit to right for two bags. Clayton
was on third and Taylor on second,
with no men out. Flood raped a
hard one to Kimball, who fielded it
to Kennedy at first, sending Flood to
the bench. Lighton could do nothing
but fan the wind and Ware left Clay
ton and Taylor on bases when he bat
ted one into Shelton's territory and
went out at first.

The Jonah Man was at Forest Park
again Saturday, when the Pine Knots
got walloped to the tune OF . to D..
The local clubs downfall was due to
the two costly errors of Right Fielder
Pittman and the failure of beavers
men to connect with the sphere. Thls
failure to hit story is growing old
to local fans and unless the Pine
Knots snatch a few victories on their
trip away from home this week there
will likely be a general shake up with
a "chopping up heads among those
who do not improve in their swatting.
Loyal to a fault, many local fans
attended the game Saturay with hopes
of breaking the tough luck in which
Pine Bluff has been playing OF late and
they went home again disappointed.
1t wasn't the fault of Pitcher Welch.
He did his share and he worked hard
for victory. Nor was it the fault of
the infield staff. Pittman must nee
esarily bear the blame or three
scores. letting two easy fly balls get
away from him The team as a whole
must bear some blame for its inahil
ity to secure hits.
Pitcher Kimball was not wanting
for speed, but his assortment OF
curves were not so puzzling as TO eX-
cuse the local batters He struck out
only five men, it is true, but when the
men who faced him did connect With
the horsehide they could do nothing
with it to assist them in reaching
first. The Pine Knots just could not
hit. That tells the story. That has
been the trouble ever since the sea-
son opened. Taylor, of Big Liz
fame. was the only local star who
made good at the rubber yesterday

made, one of which was a two Dagger

The San Francisco Bulletin is moth

ment that all the other papers have
overlooked. The following with regard
to the Burns johnson scrap is interest
ing:

mine the heavyweight championship of
the world at Sydney, Australia, on

here the night before

will not only be able to name the win
ner, but also the number of rounds and
all the details of the fight. Maybe that
looks like a frame-up. Nothing doing
in that line. It's just the difference in
time.
Burns and johnson are scheduled to
enter the ring at Sydney at IL a. m.
on the morning of December 20. When
it is II a. m. in Sydney on December
26 it will be 1920 p. m. December p

PUNAHOUs PLAY
UP To PROMISE
In Keen and Exciting Game
Jock Cations Team Ties
With Y. M. C. A.
Punahou, l; Y. NJ. G. A, 1.
Male, 2; Diamond Head, O.
Standing of Soccer League.

The rPunahous certainly made good
yesterday afternoon. 1t is true that
they did not actually defeat the Y. NJ.
c. As. but they tied with them and
made it mighty hard for the young men
from start to finish.
Mon Yin was the forward who scored
the one goal for the Punahous which
he did after magnificent run down
the field. He did not make the mistake
of shooting too soon, but ran right up
to the goal and fairly forced the ball
through. Later on in the game he got
away again but was unfortunately laid
out by charge and the breath knocked
out of him. Had it not been for this
untoward event, there is little doubt
that he would have scored again.
The Males defeated the Diamond
Heads comparatively easily. They were
attacking all the time and made shot
after shot at goal but, owing to the
perfectly wonderful Bookkeeping of
Bob Chillingworth, they scored only
twice and one of those times Bob al
lowed the ball to go through from
free kick, thinking that it must touch
player before the score could count.
The Punahous were a very different
aggregation of fOotballers from the one
that turned out last time. They had
fine defense and a very strong attack.
Their forwards were kept well fed and
did not have to do their own clearing
before they could start on a run. Fra
zier played in goal during the second
half and stopped some hard shots by
the young men otherwise the latter
might well have scored.
Both games were very fast and ex-
citing although the second game lacked
interest during the second half as the
Males had it so obviously over their
opponents. The Male attack was good
in every respect. There were no selfish
plays and their forwards never froze
onto the ball too long.

THE SECOND GAME.

The Diamond Heads started off with
a rush, and threatened, only to be re-
pulsed and sent back home. Three min
utes after the game started, Bob Chill
lingworth had his first hard work and
he was kept pretty well busy for the
rest of the game. Elisha Andrews and
H. Bailey got away and looked like
scoring, but Sherwood cleared and the
ball went as far as the middle of the
field before it was sent back to
threaten the sparklers goal.
Then the Diamond Heads got away
and Carl Oss made a fine shoot, but
the bali was caught by the wind and
went two inches too high. From there
the ball took a sudden flight to the
other end of the field, and Bob had to
do some more lively work to keep the
Males from scoring.
Again Eddie Fernandez and Carl
Oss got away, the former delivering a
fine pass to Carl, who was in box
and could not make a good shot.
Thence the ball went to midfield and
Elisha Andrews took possession. He
saw a chance TO get away, and he did.
His blue-clad legs went rushing down
the field like whirlwind and there
was no chance to stop him. He did
AS Mon Yin had in the previous game
waited till he was sure before he
shot Then he placed the ball in the
only part of the goal where there was
not piece of Bob Chillingworth and
the Males had scored the first goal.
The Diamond Heads bucked up con-
after this, but their shooting
was poor and both Kea and Carl Oss
seemed to lack speed. although the
clearing and getting the ball away
from opponents of both were fine.
The Second Half.
The second half was very much in
favor of the Males SO far as goal
was concerned. They had
the ball in front of the sparklers goal
most of the time and kept Bob jump
ing round like a midnight flea. But he
was there with the grand defense and
let never a single shoot go by him.
About the middle of the half a free
kick was given against the Diamond
Heads for a foul charge, H. Bailey
being the victim. The ball was square
in front of the goal on the twenty
yard line and it sailed clear through
the goal, Bob standing to one side
when he saw that it had touched no
PLAYER. He was wrong in this. how

THE FIRST GAME.

The PunahOuS started with the WIND
in their favor. As a matter of fact
the breeze came nearly across the field
but occasional hard puffs blew down
the field and gave a decided advantage
to the side playing in that direction.
For few minutes the Punahous threat
ened, Jock Cation shot and forced a
corner but nothing came of it and the
red shirts cleared.
Three times in succession the Puma
hous threatened and then Macconel
got away and centered to Brown who
shot high. Then the reds forced a cor
ner but Mon Yin got away down the
field but failed on the shoot. Then fol.
lowed series of rushes by the red
forwards all of which failed and again
the Panahous cleared and their for
wards went fOraging in Y. NJ. c. A.
territory.
For the next fifteen minutes of play
the ball was scooting backwards and
forwards, now in front of the red goal
and now threatening the Punahous but
there was no score until half minute
before half time.
The red forwards got away in con-
eerted rush and sent across to Macconel
who swerved in from the sideline across
to the front of the goal and shot high
and hard. The ball shaved the under
side of the bar and fell into the net.
Then the whistle blew for half time.
The Second Half
The PunahOus started off with rush
and Mon Yin cleared for a run. He
passed to Wilmington who sent to jock
Cation and the latter shot hard but
Richard saved. Then the reds took a
hand at the threatening game and soon
had the PunahOus worried but Grubbie
= and Dodge who were both playing
splendid games, cleared eventually and
the ball went to midfield.
Then it was that Mon Yin saw his
chance and he took it. Going at full
speed. he gathered the ball to him and
dribbled, lodging as he ran until he
had passed the entire red back line
and they could not Overtake him. He
waited until he was close to the goal
and then gave the ball final root
that sent it twirling into the net.
Shortly after this Mon had the same
opportunity land he started off again.
Only Swift was opposing him. and it
looked as though the speedy little
Chinaman would dodge the big red
shirt. but the latter charged him off
the ball and. in SO doing, laid Mon out
for a few minutes. The charge was
considered foul by Bob Anderson and
a free kick was awarded to the Pu-
nahous, but nothing came of 1t. and
there was no more scoring during the
game.
Mon Yin made several more attempts
during the latter part of the half, but
all his shots missed or were caught by
Richard who filed the goal space very
well indeed Shortly before time was
called there was series of no less
than four corners given against the y.
NJ. c. As. in succession, first on one
side and then on the other of the goal.
The lineun was:
