MALES ARE
THE CHAMPIONS
Gain Needed Point by a Draw
With Y. M. C. A. Seeker
Players.

The last game of the Association
football season was played at Makiki
yesterday and once again the Males
are champions of the senior league.
The Y. NJ. c. A. gave the wearers
of the green and gold a run for their
money, however. and held them down
to a pointless draw. This, by the way,
is as novel an experience for the Males
as it is for the Initials.
The league schedule was longer but
as the Males had obtained practical
cinch on the championship it was de-
cided to forego the remaining games,
provided the Males did no worse than
draw the game yesterday.
The season records of the two teams
are as follows:
Mailes-Played, Z; won, 4; lost, 0;
drawn, 3; goals for, IA; goals against,
5; points. IL.
Y. NJ. C. A.-Played, 6; won, L; lost
4; drawn, 1; goals for, 4; goals against,
Is; points, 8.
The game was of an interesting ma
ture but unmarked by spectacular
playing. The defense of each team
was good but the forward divisions
work left much to be desired.
The teams:
Mailes-Goal, J. J. Belser; full backs,
j. C. McGill, r. Anderson; half backs.
E. Davis, Achieu, H. Chillingworth;
forwards, H. Gray, w. Craik, E. An

SWEET VlOLETS
WIN PROTEST

The protested game of baseball play
ed between the Chinese Alohas and
the Sweet Violets last Sunday after
noon. March I. is to be replayed from
stopped lin order to give way to the
championship game between the Ka-
ala A. G. and the c. A. c.. The pro-
test was placed before the meeting
held at Judd building last Monday
evening. and after some discussion it
was left in the hands of the pTesi-
dent.
According to the decision of the
president, which is given below, the
game is to be replayed again from
where it stopped. The decision fol-
lows:
ITO the officers and Representatives
of the Riverside Baseball League:
"This protest was brought by the
Sweet Violet Baseball Team against
the decision of the umpire in that he
awarded the game to the Chinese
Aloha Baseball Team without the
completion of the full nine innings.
According to the evidence brought be-
fore the meeting. pro and con, the
captain of the Sweet Violets and the
captain of the Chinese A1ohas were not
called together. This is one of the
most essential points in the case, for
the captains of both teams ought to
have been consulted. It was also
brought before the meeting that the
decision of the umpire was given with
out the notification of one of the cap
tains of the contesting teams.
''Of course. the decision of the UNI
pire is final, /. e, the official umpire,
and his decisions can not be reversed
except in extreme cases.
I'm this case the umpire was a tenn
porary one. He was not an official
umpire. in view OF the fact that the
league as q whole did not appoint APP

FOOD FOR FANS
AT AALA PARK

There will be two games of baseball
by teams from the Riverside Junior
League today and each of these should
be of an interesting nature. The first
battle will be fought between the Chi
nese Alohas Jr., and the Asahi A. G..
splendid ball and with the new players
they have lately secured, the Chinese
lads will have to fight hard to win.
The battery in this game is: Chinese
Alohas, Aiona and T. Yen, Asahi A. c.,
Tetsuji and Motto.
In the second game, the Oriental A.
c. will cross bats with the Sweet Vio-
let's. This game will be played imme-
diately after the first game, which
starts at IL a. m. These two teams
have gone through some hard practice
during the past week and good game
may be looked for. The Sweet Vio-
| lets managed to defeat Sam Hops
crack team, the Aalas, when they last
met and will try to do the trick with
the Oriental A. c. today. The Hawai-
: ian band viii play during the after
noon
The five clubs representing the River
! side Baseball League are now hunting
for a vice president. At their meet
ing held last Thursday evening, it was
impossible for, the clubs to agree upon
several names proposed and the mat
ter has been postponed until the next
meeting to be held on the 18th inst.
1t was thought that VIM. Vannatta,
who was the former president of the
league, would get the office, but the
Chinese A. c. are in favor of another
baseball magnate of this city in the
person of Chas. Falk, who is the man
ager of the Saint Louis team. Either
of these gentlemen would make a good
official and it is hoped that one Of
them may be elected soon.
The other officers who have been
elected are: President, A. L. c. At
kinson; secretary, w. Tin Chong; treas
urer, Robt. Asam; auditor, Edward
Ayau. The first games of the season of
1908 will probable be played on the
third Sunday of April.
At 2:3G p. m. the deciding game for
the championship of the Kalanianaole
Baseball League will be played between
the Kaalas and the Chinese Athletic
Club. The game will conclude the
league s schedule.
The winner of the game will be-
come the winner of the handsome Chill

HIGH SCHOOLS
WON YESTERDAY
lnterseholastic Boys Basket
Ball Game Was Taken
by Them.

The worm is turning. In the inter-
the High and Normal school girls, the
young ladies of the Normal team won
steadily from the former team. In the
first of the series of boys basketball
between the male attendants of the
same schools, yesterday. the High
school boys won from their oppont nts,
by a score of 25-12, on the High school
/ courts.
1t was a pretty game. Fine team
work, in splurges, characterized both
teams, and while the Normals made
a few more fouls than their opponents,
they have the excuse, that while the
members of the High school team have
played on various teams in the city
this is Normals' first appearance in the
athletic arena.
Both teams sported neat uniforms.
The Normals wore white sleeveless
shirts on which were embroidered in
red, the initials of their school, bracket
ed by a pair of wings. The work on
the shirts was done by the sewing
class of their school The Highs wore
blue flannel shirts with neat mono
gram in yellow
In the first half, Turner of the Highs
was knocked out by being bumped in
: the pit of the stomach by a Normal
man. Time was taken out but Turner
recovered in time to play his part in
the game, part which was unap-
preached by any of the members of
his team, with the exception of the
captain, Richard Gilliland.
Gilliland played a star game. His
basket throws were the best and the
most made by any individual on either
side. Marcallino delivered the goods
in the position of forward. Quick and
sure. his trys for baskets We're loudly
applauded by both sides.
Linsey, for the Normals. was the
candy. The greater number of the
baskets which the Normals made were
due to his efforts. Toomey was also
good. With few more games, he will
develop into fine player. Entering
the game green, his work yesterday
showed wonderful Improvement, and
even the Normal side was surprised at
his good work.
Following was the lineup of both
teams:
High school-R. @iIliland, center;
Hughes, Rice, guards; Turner Marcal-
limo, forwards.
Normal School,. Kama1oi, center;
w. Meineckel, S. Toomey, guards; J.
Comes, E. Lnsey, forwards.
The next of the series of games will
be pulled off at the Normal School
grounds, next Wednesday promptly at
4 p. m.

crowd of several hundred people
saw a horse-race at the Kapiolani
Park track yesterday afternoon, and
went home well satisfied with the sport
they had witnessed.
Candy Boy raced E. H. Lewis Mall

very exciting race by two lengths and
a half
Interest is reyiving in racing in Ho-
nolulu, and it is far from impossible
that the city may have a first-class
track before very long.
The crowd went to the park yester-
day in autos and carriages to quite
an extent, and it seemed as if all the
old racing hands had made point Of
being present. The race was the third
that has taken place within the past
month, and there are several other
matches in sight.
Candy Boy and MaIlet are half
brothers and were bred at Waimea,
their sire being Waterford. The for
mer is gray and the latter a stocky
bay pony which has been used by DIR.
Baldwin for polo.
Candy Boy recently beat x-Ray and
, Exchange Five at three-eights of
mile, and Mallet on New Years Day
at HONOLULU beat the fast Defender
and Domino at a quarter of a mile.
The question yesterday was whether
the polo pony could stick the extra
eighth. 1t was conceded that had the
race been at quarter the bay would
have been a hot favorite.
Candy Boy appeared on the track
looking as fit as a fiddle. and with

had quite pull in the weights.
The match was for purse of $500
and Candy Boy started favorite at
odds of 10 to on.
Shortly after 4 p. m, Starter Ayres
dropped his handkerchief to an even
break, with the gray in possession of
the pole. The native boy skinned the
rail from the start. whereas Lewis
went wide round the bend and in SO
doing lost a couple of lengths. After
an eighth had been traversed there
was daylight between the horses, with
Candy Boy in the lead. Lewis made
a determined effort to catch the fly
ing leader, and little by little crawled
up on the gray. At the quarter the
horses were tapping and still Mallet
forged ahead until he got on even
terms with his opponent.
1.-The bay wins yelled the-crowd as
the pair came laundering down the
home stretch. It was soon seen that
Mallet had shot his bolt, however, for
he died away in the final sixteenth and
the gray passed under the wire an
easy winner. The official time was SO

After the race E. H. Lewis offered
to run the gray again and to make a
substantial wager on the result. 1t
is probable that return race will take
place next Saturday.

cubic yards of dirt. In depth it ranges
up to sixteen inches at second base,
and is thirteen inches at the pitchers
box The work was done by the Vol
cano Stables Company which, owing
to the compact nature of the earth
supplied, found that many more cubic
yards were required than had been es-
timated. There are now two men do
ing hand work on the diamond, level
ling off little hills and filing any holes.
They should finish their work this
week After good downpour of rain
any other inequalities will become APP

able either here or in Honolulu, there
can be none sown before the coming
