spect to the assertion that our l2-

And Dorando will meet anybody in the
world.
He wants to make all the money
that his nicely turned legs viii allow,
row that he has line on his speed as
an indoor winner. Harry Pollock is
ready TO make the match, and as a
grand finale he will hang up a $4,000
purse for a free-for-all, TO include
HAYES, Dorando, Shrubb, Longboat,
Crowley, Tewanina and several others
who profess to have beaten Dorando g
time.
This fellow Crowley seems to be the
dark horse of the entire bunch. His
remarkable run over the Yonkers
Marathon course Thanksgiving Day
made him the winner of the greatest
Marathon ever run on this side of the
world. He plowed through twenty
and a half miles of mud and slush, and
when he passed the judges stand at
the Empire City track he was literally
covered with miTe, which entirely OBJ
scured the emblem on his breast. His
time was 2:49, as against Dorando s
2:44 for twenty-six miles and 385 yards,
the regulation Marathon distance.
Scarcely five minutes difference IN
the time. and DOrando was running on
a carefully prepared path.

When the result was seen the ap-
pause continued for ten minutes with

put up splendid game, and they be-

The final set was wonderful display

Alexander lost the service when the

again when the score was Australia 4,

with wild outburst of enthusiasm.
The voice of the umpire could not be

LEAHIS AGAIN
VICTORIOUS

The Leah team of Y NJ. c. a. indoor
baseball players again defeated the
Uluas in very fast game in the gym
nasium last night, by 10 to Z, and, in
eidentally, showed what a very fast
and clever game indoor baseball is when
played by bunch of sEry ones such
as turned out last night.
The game is played with large soft
ball, about twice the size of an ordi-
nary baseball, and on a diamond that
is as large as the limits of the gym
nasium win permit. The rules are the
same as those of ordinary baseball ex-
eept that the catcher can not catch a
batter out on a foul tip except on the
third strike.
A hard swat will carry the ball
against one or other of the walls, but
the batter can not be caught out if the
ball first touches any object before be-
ing caught by the fielder. The amount
of agility displayed by the players is
truly wonderful The distance from
one base to another is so short that it
looks like a cinch to steal a base, but
not so when you have felders Of the
class of last night s players to deal
with.
The pitcher usually throws under
hand. but he gets them in hard enough
and sometimes puts on an upward curve
that is a snorker. The easiest base to
make is second from first, and the hard
est is the plate from third In
larger place they have seven players,
but under present conditions they use
only six players here, having short
stop, but no outfelders at all, as there
is no room for them.
The Leahis had no trouble in piling
up a large score in the first three in
nings, but then Honan, the twirler for
the losers, began to get on to himself,
and he famed the Leahis with great
except in the fifth, when
the winners put on three more. The
final score of ten to seven is really
quite close, and it was by no wide mar
gin that the Leahis took the game.
DR.. Hand said last night that he
would set up the ice cream for the win
ming team next Monday night if they
would play again without any practise
in the meantime. They viii have the
same lineup. except that Lewis will
catch for the Uluas and Decoito will
take Gum s place in the field, and each
team viii play only six men.
The lineup last night was: Leahis-I
Baptist. G.; Bechert, p; Gilliland, h.;
Carey. Oh; Voeller, 3D.; Mills, f. Uluas
.Decoito. G.; J. Honan, p; All Toon,
h.; Ed Honan. Oh; F. s. Mott, 3b.;
Gum, f.: Rosa, f.
It viii be noticed that the Uluas
played seven men to the Leahis six.

POKAIS BEATEN
BY LANAKELAS

The Lanakela baseball team of Eva
sent into Honolulu for thirty cents
worth of Waialua whitewash last week
and dumped it all over the Pokais of
Waianae last Sunday on the former S
ground
Not a single run could the visitors
score, while the victorious Eva bunch
batted out a score of seven. They
started in well by making three in the
first period and followed it by three in
the third. Then they took a rest till
the eighth, when they put in one more
just for luck.
Manuel Fernandez did some very
fancy twirling for the winners. and Sill
yer at shortstop did some clever field
ing that kept the Pokai batters away
from first. The lineup of the two teams
was:
