DOUBLES ARE
WELL STARTED
Castle and Cooke Who Fought
for Singles Will Play
Together Today.

The tennis doubles championship
tournament got off to flying start yes
terday afternoon on the Beretania
courts. There were some fast exhibit
lions OF the game, and the general class
of play was infinitely better than that
played during the rather recent disas-
ter on Maui.
The strange thing about the playing
W. H. Babbitt and W. Williamson had
two sets on H. S. Grey and r. L. Booth,
90, Ga, and the third set had reach
ed five-all when it was decided that it
was too dark to play any longer. Not
wishing to inconvenience the players in
today's events by playing again this
afternoon, they decided to toss up for
the last set, and Rabbit and William
son won
The results were: Theo. Richards and
j. A. Richards beat J. P. Cooke and
:. A. Baldwin, 6-1, Cd, Ga; G. G..
Boekus and J. T. Guard beat c. NJ.
Cooke, Jr., and L. LewtOn-Brain, Go,
6-3, 6-1; W. H. Babbitt and W. Viii
Hanson beat H. s. Grey and R. L.
Booth, Go, Ga, and the last set by
a toss-up.
This afternoon at 4 O'Clock the fol-
lowing viii play on the Pacific courts:
w. H. Babbitt and w. Williamson VS..
r.. g. Forster and P J. HARDWOOD; A. L.
Castle and R. A. Cooke VS.. C. H. Ath-
erton and L. s. CONFESS.
At the same hour on the Beretania
courts the following will play: w. L.
Warren and A. R. Cunha VS.. Harold
Castle and F. E. Steere; C. G.. Bockus
and J. T. Guard vs. Theo. Richards and
j. A. Richards.
One interesting feature of the games
this afternoon is that Castle and Cooke,
who fought so sturdily for the singles
championship ARE team mates now, and
they may be expected to put up a
slashing game when they get together
on one side of the net.

WAIANAES BEAT
CLEANING KIDS

The Twilights went down to defeat

victors have to say about the game:
GA combination of ball-tossers known
as the Twilights and hailing from
Honolulu, which some two weeks ago
took into camp the ever-talked-about
Eva team, journeyed to Waianae last
Sunday to try conclusions with the ex-
pert aggregation of players that live
In the place.
cit was game well worth seeing, as
the score viii testify The Twilights,
being very confident of victory, start
ed the game with a firm determination
to live up to their reputation, thus
cireling the diamond twice in she first
inning.
"Alas! the poor Twis were buffaloed
In their winning streak, for they found
the home team little too much for
them. The score was tied to at the
end of the ninth, but in the extra in
ming the Waianaes proved themselves
to be masters of the situation and
scored the winning run.

LAST VICTORY
FOR RUGBY GAME

The following taken from Los An
geles paper is of very great interest to
all who follow football. The University
of Southern California is a large and
powerful institution, second only to the
larger universities of Stanford and
Berkeley. They have held out against
the new game up to this time but, if
they give in and play the British game,
it will be the final stroke of victory
for Rugby on the Coast.
In San Francisco the people have
taken to the game. There is no use

MIDDLEWEIGHT
CHALLENGES

Come on you boxing promoters, here
is a chance for you. Bill Monroe
weighs 100 pounds when he is fit and
he thinks he can beat any man of his
weight on the islands. He is lively
looking customer and should be able
to put up a mighty good scrap.
His particular attentions are directed
towards one Ed. Parker, a man who
has local reputation for being very
clever with the gloves and weighs about
the same as Monroe. Parker is an hon
est fellow and can be depended on to
put up the best there is in him in the
ring.

she would have done so much damage
had she not been laden with iron ore.
but she damaged us on the principle
that slight push from a heavy man
has more effect than a strong push from
light one. When we got to the Kings
well the captain called out: You had
better stop where you are iii the boats.
/ am afraid we are not safe How
ever, we had not long to wait before
the carpenter reported to him, and we
were all ordered on board; and she
steamed slowly away for Dover with
our empty nine boats in tow
81 In about an hours time he found
that his vessel was making water, and
we were ordered into the boats again
and towed alongside. This was very
unpleasant experience, for swell had
begun to get up. Our boat waved about
and we were almost afraid we should
be STAYED in against the side of the
steamer or get under her propeller.
After an hour or so of this we heard
a steamer away in the fog. The Kings
well made signals of distress with
whistle, and she signalled back that she
was coming to our help.
Here let me say that whatever peo-
pie may think of smoking, L found my
pipe of great comfort to me while in
the boat, especially on an empty sto,n-
ach, for all I had inside me was an
apple eaten before breakfast, one mouth
full of fish, and one of bread. The
steamer, by name the Southmoor, glad
ly took us all in, and the captain and
crew behaved most kindly to us. Viii
liam and got hold of an engineer who
gave us water to wash our hands with,
but the towel was too filthy for the
face. He also got us some bread and
cheese and a glass of most beautiful
water. In an hour or two we all ar
rived safely at Dover.
s'Before we reached there, my heart
bleeding for Captain Reedman, who had
only just been promoted, suggested to
Lord Lyveden and Edward Lunn that
we should get little testimonial signed
by all the passengers. They jumped at
the idea and the purser gave me large
but ragged piece of paper on which |
wrote few complimentary words, and
going round with a pencil l got every
passenger to sign it. Just before we
reached Dover, Edward Lunn made a
little speech the first words of which
were, Our first duty is to thank God
for our deliveranee, and then he said,
{ Mr.. Densham will now say a few
words. So I called the captain on to
the hatch beside me and all the passen-
gers cheered him. | slapped him on the
back and put my arm round his shout |
der and told him I had always felt
great admiration for him, during the
many trips I had had in the Argonant,
but that it was much increased today,
and that with regard to the passengers,
[ only wished he could have heard,
while I was going round to get their
their words of admiration
and sympathy. At Dover I made at
once for station to telegraph to my wife
and my brother Alfred, but found that |
the train was just starting for London.
So William and 1 got into it. 1t was
fairly fast train and I was at Bramley |
Croft about nine clock. -

THAT FAMOUS VICTORY.

1t was famous victory
Down at Aala Park;
The Dragons light was swiftly doused
They foundered in the dark.
The great Palamas hit the trail,
And wandered tar away,
While rooters big and rooters small
Yelled at the winning play
"Come on, come on, Palamas;
You got the championship;
The King of Spain is in the box
And signs no walking trip.
Oh, watch those poor old Dragon kids,
The ball they can not find,
So join the fun, for the game is won,
And the bunch is left behind"
Chi Bui smiled a crafty smile
He stood behind the bat
Then winked at Lo, who shook his head,
AS who would say, "That's pat.
But "Pat" is sure an Irish lad,
As green as green can be,
For every time Lo twirled the ball
The crowd yelled gleefulIy.
"Oh, soak him all you P A. Cs!
Now, Zerbe, don't get sorel
Hooray! Hooroo! he's bingled, and
There's going to be some more!
They romp around the diamond,
There's nothing too the game;
The G. A. Cs are beat with ease,
. But they tried hard just the same. F"

that as the large crowds that
attend and the appreciation of the
games is clear proof. The players them
selves have taken to the game because
it gives more individual chances to the
players than does the old style.
There is an uneonfrmed rumor cir
around the various college
football camps that Coach Traeger of
the University of Southern California
is planning to put a Rubgy team into
the field in addition to the American
gridiron warriors already representing
the Methodists.
This move may be made by the en-
terpfising veteran trainer in order that
the university may compete with the
northern colleges, Stanford and Berke-
ley.
1t is no secret that the Wesleyans are
not at all satisfied with their present
position in the intercollegiate confer
ence, and their outlook for a better
situation is not bright. The more radi-
cal gossips have it that Traeger may
entirely withdraw his American team
# he. receives sufficient encouragement
from the north.
The University of Southern Califor-
MA has always been won't to depart
from the regular order of things, and
heir ostracizatioh from the conference
ranks for the past two years has spur
ed the Methodists to an attitude of de-
lance toward other local institutions
With his thousand students 20 draw
rom, Traeger thinks he can furnish
just little better than the
ehools which have much smaller enroll |
nents. He does not consider the defeat |
It the hands of Los Angeles High |
school on Saturday any disgrace, as
many of the Methodists were playing |
mt of their regular positions, and sew
raj others were experiencing their first /
cal competitive play.
Traeger could not be found this after |
oon to confirm or deny the Rugby |
amor.
