The Riversiders feel that they have
not had enough time to get ready for
the games and they have come through
with the above protest. 1t seems fair
that they should have time to get fit
for the games, and many of the local
fans seem to think that they should
have another weeks preparation and
should have the Sunday date for both
games.
1t is to be regretted that these games
can not both be played next Sunday,
as there is no doubt that large ag-
gregation from the Riverside would
turn out at Ball Park and would help
out the league management in the ex-
penses of bringing the visitors here.
No matter how clean a sport is-and
there is no cleaner sport than good
game of baseball-the big Dollar sign
is bound to creep in. It costs money
to bring team twenty miles by rail-
road, and it costs whole lot more
to bring them four thousand miles
and keep and entertain them after they
have arrived.
This being the case, it is up to the
people of Honolulu to back up the
progressive management that has spent

MEDAL PLAY AT
COUNTRY CLUB

The golf players who were defeated
in the first round of the McInerny Cup
Tournament, under match conditions,
will have a chance to show what they
can do in medal play next Sunday. A
regular club fixture will be played on
that date, and entries will close on the
grounds at 1920 a. M, the time that
the tournament starts.
There are two fine prizes put up for
this event. one for the best gross score
and one for the best net score. All
handicaps are posted on the club board
and the players know how much they
must give or take-that is, if they
have been out to the country club re-
Gently.
The Country Club links have never
been in better condition. The green's
are really green and. are shaven close
TO a smoothness that the phoniest put
ter in the world could not complain of.
The bunkers bunk the balls into clear
spaces, and there is no need to bride
the caddies to ''find balls.''
A big entry list is expected for this
event, and. Judging by the number
that turned up last Sunday, this ex-
pectation is justified. There will be a
special lunch served in the clubhouse,
and there win be accommodations for
everybody, though the entire member
ship turn out.
There are many friends of golf play
ers who would like to go and watch
them play if they understood the game
a little better. There are two classes
of people in this world, according to
the golf player-those who play golf,
and those who seoff.
The average scoffer is Immediately
converted the minute he gets driver
in his hand and starts off from the
first tee, which should be set at the
top of rising ground. He swings
yaliantly and hits the ball, then dis
covers to his establishment that that
ball is soaring heavenwards towards
the distance, way over the first bunker.
Enter then one convert.
For the benefit of those who know
nothing of the game it may be ex-
planned that, apart from what every
body knows-that the winner is the
man who pots his balls in the holes on
the green's in the fewest number of
strokes-there are two distinct kinds of
plays. In match play it is the holes
that count, in medal play it is the
strokes.
IF Andie Macpherson and Sandy
MaeTavish are playing a twosome in a
match play, and Andie takes only six
strokes to reach the first hole, while
Sandy takes sixteen, Andie takes the
first hole, but the game is pau up to
that point. Then, if Sandy reaches
the next hole in seven strokes and
Andie in eight, they are even, and so
on until the last green is passed.
In medal play only the strokes count.
and the score is tailed after the eight
cen green's (nine holes twice round)
have been passed. The player who
covers the links in eighty strokes beats
the one who takes eightyone strokes.
Handicap numbers represent the num-
her of strokes IF a man has a handi
cap of nine and he covers the course
in ninety strokes, his net score is turns
ed in as eighty-one.
This explanation is timely, as there
were several people who deserted the
ball park for the golf links last Sun
day and who complained that they did
not understand how the scores were
made

The polo team to visit Maui next
week was selected yesterday afternoon
and it looks like a good one on paper.
At any rate we may be sure that each
one of the players has his heart in
the game and viii do his best to ride
out on the field in the fittest possible
condition and as much as possible in
touch with his team mates.
There will be hard game over there
when the two teams get together. The
Mauinese players are in fine condition
but their visitors win ship a load OF
determination with them and there
will be some unloading when the
referee losses the ball in for the first
period.
The local players have been practis-
ing interference and goal shooting and
the club swingers on the other island
will run up against some blocking and
spreading off that viii surprise them.

and numberless other town-to- town
routes have been run over and the re-
suits shouted aloud in the advertising
columns of the papers.
Last Spring the press agent of the
Auto Vehicle Company, concern that
manufactures the Tourist car in Los
Angeles, put one over on the dealers
that made them very sore. This PA
was looking round for new worlds TO
conquer when his wandering gaze rest
ed on the distant heights of the snow
capped mountains above San Berna-
dino. He said, II will take a car and
drive il into the snow in Southern Cali
fornia." 1t was easy to say this but
much harder to carry out. All the
county roads that lead into the noun
tains are closed to autos but the p. A.
was not to be discouraged. He found
private road belonging to a lumber
company and obtained permission to
drive up it. He took crow-bars. watch
tackles. snow-shoes and four big men
to help him push. He reached the
snow line and the photographer took
some excellent pictures. Next Sunday
every paper in the state came out with
big pictures and descriptions of this
wonderful achievement. The other
dealers ground their teeth and imme-
diately started out for the snow-line.
But alas for the effect of the climate,
they were too late and the snow had
melted

: HAWAII IS FAST"
SAYS WILDER
Acting Commodore of Yacht
Club Pleased With Speed of
Yatht From Hilo.

Charlie Wilder was busy yesterday
receiving congratulations from his
friends on the excellent time the Ha
wall made in coming back from Hilo
He, of course, takes no credit for the
very good time made by the yacht
but states very emphatically that the
Hawaii is fast.

Wilder. ''You cannot take boat like

launch when she started on the race
to Hilo, and / was surprised at the
way she ate up the wind ON the start.
People who watched her from Dia-
mond Head told me today that they
were simply astonished at the way she
held her luff in the light wind.
81 think that her inside ballast
needs to be higher. AT present she has
great big keel, way down in the
water, and this gives her sea move
ments too much of pendulum action.
It would be too much of job to take
any of the iron off her keel, but, with
the ballast she has inside of her now.

you would see a marvellous difference.
EsOn the run back from Hilo we had
light winds most of the way. Even as
it was, if we had only had the square

hours. She certainly lifted up her
skirts and moved along as prettily as
a premiere danseuse when she did get
the wind.
sit is a case of hats off to the boys
on the Gladys. They were the real,
original sportsmen to go into that race
with their little sloop, and Tom King
showed fine seamanship by the way he
handled his craft when the weather
rigging gave way. 1t is no funny joke
to be out in a sea-way with no weather
rigging and the wind coming up strong
not far from the lee-shore of an island
The way they got things fixed and
came on into Hilo was as pretty a
piece of seamanship as l have seen
around these islands.
"The Gladys arrived about four hours
after the HAWAII and Kamehameha,
after taking it easy up the coast of
the islands. Tom King and his crew
disclaim any credit for their work dur
ing the race, but those who know them
say that they are the kind of men who
do things and see nothing in the ac-
complishment but very ordinary sport.
Whatever Mr.. King and his crew may
say the people of Honolulu have rea-
son to be proud of them for the sport
ing way in which they went into the
race and the clever work they did
when they were in DANGER

JACK M'FADDEN
ACCEPTS TERMS

The MacFadden-R Reilly bout is now
practically assured. Jack MacFadden
has agreed to the terms of the Cen
trail Club, which is promoting the fight,
and the two clever boys will meet for
so per cent. of the gate receipts, the
winner to take go and the loser 40 per
cent. of the purse. The date is set for
the latter part of the month. ].
While MacFadden was anxie.ts to
reach the Coast as soon as possible in
order to train with Abe Attell, he rec
ognizes the fact that he and Reilly
would make a good drawing card here,
and believes that he would gain by
staying here for the fight.
1t is a moot point as to which of the
two boys is the cleverer, as they both
have enviable records and are equally
game. MacFadder is, perhaps, the
hardest hitter, while Reilly may be said
to be the cleverer of the two when it
comes to boxing, but the partisans of
the two scrappers are divided on this
subject, and friends of each of the boys
claim that their man is the sure win
ner.
All arrangements have been made for
the signing of the articles, and some of
the prominent sportsmen in town will
be asked TO be present and preside, SO
that there can be no possible chance of
a hitch Chas. Chillingworth will be
asked to draw up the articles, as he is
very competent to arrange a document
that is perfectly legal. and the various
al o-x ont
local directors of sport will be invited
to be present
On behalf of the management, Eddie
TAFT wishes it to be understood that
he desires to have all arrangements en-
tirely above board There is to be no
misunderstanding as to the weight and
each man will weigh publicly every day
during training so that the public may
know just how the boys are making
their weight and can Judge accordingly
as to the chances of each
1t looks as though this. bout will be

It appears that the case against the
Hilo Baseball League is even worse
than represented in the Advertiser
yesterday. The Honolulu Baseball
League did not expect the Hiloites to
bear all the expenses of the trip in
the first place. They merely asked
them to cooperate with them and allow
them all the receipts above necessary
expenses. Whatever the Honolulu
proposition was, it might be expected
of decent sportsmen that they would
say, "Sure, we II bring the Santa
Claras over here. Great guns, you fell

out from the Coast, now we reckon it

Hats Off to the Gladys.

Come, douse your lids to Tommy King
And all the Gladys crew,
For they reefed their sail in booming gale
When the weather stays began TO fail,
Like seamen tried and true.
The waves rolled high, the squalls came down,
The rigging broke apart
But they fixed each stay without delay,
Then quickly put her her way
And made another start
With shortened sail and jury rig
They could not win the race;
But, through that gale, there blows tale
Of sturdy hearts that would not fail
However tight the place.

1t is not generally known that this
same Paddy was the first man to in
vent the. punching bag. In 1885 he
was training Jim Carr for match
with Tom Cleary, two oldtimers whose
names are almost forgotten. but who
were topnotchers in those days. Jim
was slow in his recovery and his Jab-
bling was very weak, so Paddy looked
round for a scheme to teach his man
ouickness. He was walking past a
football field one day and saw some
PLAYERS kicking an Association football.
s'Just the thing he said to himself,
and Immediately went and bought a
ball of the same kind. He built a fat
platform, with the surface downwards,
tied a string to the ball and hung 1T
up in the middle of the platform. This
crude punching bag was such success
that its fame reached the big sporting
goods houses and they took the matter
up and produced the present conical
punching bag used by all boxers when
in training.

that he was forcing the fighting all

Moir needs is an American education.

give their press agents something to

The principal road record that most
of them are after is the run from Los

Pope Hartford beat the record hollow

but subsidized with a broken spring be-

j. Bryan as he stepped from his special
train tonight at Englewood, after full
day in Indiana.
Crowds of mammoth proportions and

was fairly mobbed by his enthusiastic
admirers. >
Nor was Mr.. Bryan alone in the ova-

and was deluged with flowers and even
with luncheon baskets.
Virtually ending his campaign to-

of the occasion with great earnestness
and intensity.

up throughout the day.
He found new thoughts in the speech
of Mr.. Taft last night at Buffalo, deny
ing that Mr.. Rockefeller was support
ing him in the campaign. He felt that
if Mr.. Taft objected to the oil king
he should get out writ of injunction
against him, as "Mr. Taft is acquainted

MEJNCIE, Ind, Oct 31.-President
IN Roosevelts statement that Mr.
IN Rockefellers announced support
of Mr.. Taft was ludicrous and made TO
iniure the Republican party was the
text of W. j. Bryans speech here to-
day.
A big crowd accorded him an ova-
ton. OF President Roosevelt, Mr.
Bryan said:
.'In his letter to Mr.. Hartman, the
president declared himself a practical
man and suggested that Mr.. Hartman
need not come to washington until
after the election. Mr.. Roosevelt IS
of course practical enough to know that
the open support of Rockefeller un-
masks the Republican position
HE doubtless wanted the fact OF MI
Rockefeller's support kept secret un-
til after election, just as he wants
the contributions from the trust mag
mates to be kept secret until after elec-
tion.
'sThe Republican party has been
working both sides of the road. Wnlle
a part of the party has been promising
reforms to the reform element or the
country, the other party has been as
surfing the standpatters that nothing
would he done and the Republican plat
form WIS drawn so ambiguously that II
would lie used to support any KIND OF
a secret process.
Caught with the Goods
''Now that the Republican party has
been caught with the goods on, now
that the trust magnates like MI
Rockefeller and Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Hartman are only supporting the Re-
publican ticket no reformer can have
any cause for supporting that ticket.
Mr.. Rockefeller doubtless thought that
an announcement from him would help
the Republican party, for he probably
believes he is doing the Lords service
when he fastens a monopoly upon the
people.
His conscience has been so scared
by his business methods that he looks
upon a trust as a blessing and wonders
how anybody else can consider it an
evil.
1T was Rockefellers son who Illus
trated the trust by the American Beau
ty rose, saying that the rose could only
be brought to it's perfection by pinching
off the buds and leaving the strength of
the bush to go inside of the remaining
bud, SO Industrial development requires
the pinching off the smaller competitors.
The only difference between Mr.. Rocke-
feller and the Republican leaders is
that Mr.. Roosevelt does his pinching
in the day time while the Republican
leaders do not object to the pinching,
but they want it done after dark.
