DIAMOND HEADS
ATHLETIC PLANS

The Diamond Head Athletic Club
viii hold their regular monthly meet
ing at Odd Fellows Hall on Tuesday
evening next and all members are re-
quested to be present.
The last few meetings of this club
have been very well attended, and this
may be due to the pleasant social ses-
sions with which they are topped off.
On Tuesday night two important
questions are up for discussion. Ore
is whether the club shall go into
aquatics and become opponents of me
Myrtles and Healanis. and the other
is whether the Diamond Heads shall
be represented at the coming cham
pionship field day.
The club won the championship at
the athletic meet held lis December.
1905. and lost it by few points at
the March meet held in the following
year. Last year the club did not
enter the big meet.

AMERICAN MARK
CUT BY EN- SUE

When En- Sue Pung won the 50-yard
dash at the Boys Field yesterday, his
time of 5 is seconds was announced
as breaking the island record of 2-5
held by him and made in 1906.
It appears that En- Sue performed a
much greater feat than the announcer
credited him with. He broke the
American amateur record for the dis
lance, which stood at rs. and which
was made in 1904 by Victor Rice of
Chicago, and tied by w. d. Eaton of
New York in 1905. and r. L. Murray
of ST. Louis in 1906.
On February 90 1904, Victor s. Rice,
University of Chicago. in Bartlett
gymnasium, ran so yards on a rubber
mat indoors in 2-5 seconds.
En- Sues record will not be recog-
nized by the Amateur Athletic Union
of America on account of the local
clubs not having become affiliated with
the union.
The 50-yard run is not practised in
Great Britain or the Colonies. SO that
it is more than probable that the
American record is the worlds record,
in which case Honolulu has the honor
of producing a worlds champion whom
only circumstances will prevent from
being officially recognized as such.

MALES WIN
TIGHT GAME
The PunahOus Hold Champions
Down to One Lucky
Goal.

There was only one socker game at
Makiki yesterday afternoon, bur it was
a good one. The Diamond Heads and
the Y. NJ, c. A. postponed their game
on account of a number of their play
ers being engaged elsewhere, and the
Males and Punahons played off their
fixture.
1t proved to be the best and clean
est game of the season. There was no
rash kick and rush work, but, instead.
an exhibition of dribbling and heady
play which was refreshing to the MEM
bers of the old guard who had turned
out to see which way the battle went.
Both teams played football ali the
way through.
The Males beat the Punahous by
the score of one goal to nil.
They lined up as follows: Goal, J.
]. Belser; backs, R. Anderson, ]. C.
McGnl; halves, H. Chillingworth, d.
Center, Andrews; forwards, Dwight.
H. S. Gray, H. Bailey. E. Davis, E.
Kea.
The weather was fine but for a
shower which fell in the second half.
The Males scored their goal in the
first half. The Punahou custodian
listed out shot and the ball struck
Davis, the Punahou back. and bound
ed off him into the goal.
The Males defended the Makiki
street goal in the first half and played
with the wind at their backs. They
had most of the play In this half, and
though the contest was interesting
neither goal was in real danger until
the half-time whistle blew, excepting.
of course. the times when the Males
scored their lucky goal.
In the second half the Punahous
pressed considerably, although the
Males made several good runs anu
shot several times. with no result.
however. Lyman of the Punahous had
hard luck in not scoring. He put in
a hot shot from the right wing which
skinned the cross-bar Had the ball
gone an inch or two lower it would
have been next to impossible to have
saved it.
R. Cation, who played back for the
losers, put up a star game. McGill
and Anderson, the Male standbys,
played their usual fine game. Belser
in goal did all that was required IF
him in f1rst-class shape.
The Males are to be congratulated
on the assistance they are receiving
from their three younger players-H.
ChilIingworth, E. Davis and Dwight.
These boys are taking the places of
Kellett, Catteral and Jameson. whose
services are lost to the Males this
season, and they are filling their shoes
well.
w. Craik, the Male player, who was
standing down on account of an in
5ured knee, officiated as referee to the
satisfaction of both sides. He refereed
a model game. which may well be
pattern to other local referees.

The start was a very good one.
THE SHOT.
John Lo put the 12-pound weight So
IT. in. and this was good enough to
win. w. Ayau was runner-up and En-
Sue came next.
THE HALF.
The men started in two lines on ac-
count of the narrowness of the track.
It was a fine race with the field well
punched till the finish. Hong Chacl1
ran a pretty race and won from Won
tSeu and Ah Bung in 2:24 Is.
BROAD JUMP.
The run was made greasy by a
shower OF rain and this initiated In
some degree against record breaking.
An exceedingly tight contest between
En- Sue and John Lo resulted in the
former just nipping his opponent by
three-quarters of an inch. En- Sues
jump was 20 TT. 4 ga inches. J. Annoy
did 10 TT. in. and took third place.
THE HURDLES.
This event furnished the most ex-
citing race of the afternoon. Fon
Ian, alf-Chinaman and half-Ha-
waiian, and a new man athletically,
flew over the obstacles like a bird with
En- Sue in close pursuit. On the fiat
the latter's turn of speed told and com-
ing hand over hand he all but caught
Fon Ian who received the judges
verdict by a matter of two or three
inches. Time, is 2-5. This time must
be discounted as there were only nine
flights of low hurdles instead of the
regulation ten. Fon Ian with proper
training is likely to prove a thorn in
the sides of the crack local timber
toppers at the big meet.
THE TWO-TWENTY.
Rumors of fast work by one of the
entrants made this event closely
watched. It took IS seconds to win the
dash. however, and it was En- Sue who
did the trick, his brother Sing Chong,
running him up and J,/Ioy coping
third place.
POLE VAULT.
J. Hoy made good in this event with
vault of IT. in. John Annoy was
second and All Chew third.

the race from Hang Yau and K. Y.

won by 80 yards from G.. H. Pang and

A man on a horse had gallop
round the Boys Field track after dark
on Friday. You ought to have heard
the trackman's remarks yesterday.
Theodore Richards said yesterday
that the Boys Field costs $500 a year
to keep in shape and that the re-
ceipts of the championship meets in
the past had only helped out with the
expenses.
F. Warren, the sprinter, and Frank
Bechert, the distance runner, have al
ready started training for the big
field-day.

CandOr in High Places.

If Mr.. Bryan could manage to focus
attention upon this huge tariffg graft
if he could get such a hearing OF
it as he got for the silver question in
1S96-his chance of winning would,
no doubt, improve. But even with
small Democratic aid, by the slow
weight, of facts, we are gradually and
painfully approaching the truth about
it.
When the necessity bred of war
had passed, the tariff, as we now know
it, was defended as needed to foster
our infant industries. They fostered
amazingly and presently became the
greatest in the world. We still need
ed the tariff, it was then alleged, to
insure good wages to American work
n-notwithstanding our labor cost,
in some lines, was lower than in Eng
land, and workmen in non-protected
callings, comprising the great major
ity, got as high or higher wages than
workmen in protected industries.
This year a new and franker defense
has been introduced.
Duties, says the Republican plat
form, must equal the different be-
tween cost of production at home and
abroad, together with reasonable
profit to American industries"
That is, we must be taxed enough,
not only to protect American labor,
but to make sure that the Trusts will
have d satisfactory profit. One by
one the specious and fraudulent reas-
ons have fallen away, until, at length,
in this years platform we are given
candid glimpse of the real reason.
Being ever friendly to candor we well
come the advance, and hope it will
continue. In the Republican platform
of 1912 we expect to find simple and
entirely honest tariff plank, as fol-
lows:
Duties must be high enough to pro-
duce satisfactory dividends upon sew
eral billion dollars Of watered stocks. !"

The Presidents Mud-SliHging.

The President has put himself in a
position where he ought to feel ter
ribly embarrassed, but he will not feel
it in the least; he will simply laugh
it off in his jaunty fashion. Although
President of the United States, he
jumped into the campaign to snatch
his friend TAFT away from Foraker,
upon whom there are oil stains. But
not content with that, he was impru-
dents enough to assume the charges
of Mr.. Hearst against Governor HaSk-
ell to be true, although the Governor
had at once denied them, and he pro-
ceeded to implicate the Democratic
party and the Democratic candidate
in the Governors alleged services to
the Standard Oil.
Nothing could be more improper or
unbeconing to his office than this as
sumption of the truth of the charges
against Mr. Haskell and the open and
offensive way in which he sought to
compromise Mr.. Bryan for the crime
of being a friend of Mr.. Haskell. Mr..
Bryan has challenged him to prove
the charges he makes and pledges
Mr.. Haskell to justly himself before
any public Or private tribunal the
President may name or to retire from
the Democratic campaign.
The President has got to prove his
accusations or stand convicted before
the country of being scurrilous mud
singer. But he will pay no attention.
He'll just laugh. He does not care
what he says so long as he is pitch
ing into "the enemy and thinks he
is helping his friend Taft.
| OF course it is amusing in a way
for the President of the United States
to plunge into the controversies and
vituperation of a political campaign
but, after all, it will make the judic-
ious grieve. But the President is
quite capable of thinking it is all
bully" and proves him to be ION
to his job If the President will not
name a tribunal or produce his evil
dence-which of course is all in the
possession of William Randolph
Hearst-what is Mr.. Bryan going to dc
about it? It's bully joke on Bry-
an, isn't it?-Phila Record.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1908-10-09
and South Dakota make these states

and South Dakota make these states
doubtful, and should give Bryan an
even break with his opponent.
Bryan's personal popularity and the
plank guaranteeing bank deposits
make Nebraska absolutely safe for the
Democracy. Democrats have no mis-
givings whatever about Mr. Bryan's
homo state. Kansas is unquestionably
as strong for Bryan today as it was in
1896. Kansas wants tariff revision
Kansas wants bank deposits guaran-
teed, and Kansas doesn't want Joecan-
nonism. The Kansas farmers are for
Bryan and will carry the state for him
labor will help and SO will the colored
men OF the state whose support Taft
has alienated by his attitude toward
the race.
Colorado has always stood Loyalty
by Bryan and there is no reason to be-
lieve that it will do otherwise this
year. Democrats regard it as safe.
Wyoming may go Republican, Utah is
close. Idaho is fighting ground, as are
also the three Pacific coast states of
California, Oregon and Washington.
In California especially where there
is almost unanimous approval of the
prohibition of Asiatic immigration as
expressed in the Democratic platform
and upon which the Republican plat
form is silent, there is a good chance
for Democracy this year. Of course
the influence of the Southern Pacific
railroad is enormous and naturally
with Hartman at it's head is opposed
to the success of Bryan, but even this
may be overcome.
Thus there are, with the solid south
and the six Democratic states of Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Montana,
Nevada and Maryland 172 votes for
Bryan at the outset
In addition to these Bryan must get
70 votes to win.
AS shown these states are reason
ably Democratic, West Virginia, Indi-
ana, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado.
They have As votes, thus bringing Mr..
Bryan within 25 votes of the goal.
New York and Ohio are probably
Democratic. New York alone, with
those already mentioned as Demo-
cratic, would be sufficient Ohio and
one other small state, such as Idaho,
Utah, Washington, Oregon, Delaware
or Rhode Island would be enough.
These states are doubtful : Illinois,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Connecti
cut and Rhode Island.
There is a good fighting chance in
Michigan, Iowa, Washington, Oregon
and California. Democrats look for
landslide, similar to that of 1892,
AMI are confident of Bryan's election.
