FOOTBALLERS
MAKE SCHEDULE

The intercollegiate football schedule
has been arranged, and both Kameha
meha and st. Louis are unrepresented
The only two teams of different insti
buttons are the Punahous and the High
School, and they have made up a
schedule of six dates by putting out
two teams each.
The first elevens will meet on Novem-
Der Z, IA and 81, and the second teams
will try conclusions on the day previous
in each case, November 6, Is and 20.
The ground on which each game will
be played is. not yet decided on, but it
is expected that all games viii be play
ed on the new Alexander field. as this
is truly ideal place for football, and
Makiki park, where the High School
has been practising, is anything but
that.
Both institutions have long list of
aspirants out for gridiron honors, and
there will be no trouble about getting
two good elevens in both cases. The
High School boys are out on Makiki
park every afternoon, and are rapidly
rounding into good shape. Out at Oahu
College the footballers are using the
old campus for practise, so as to leave
the new turf on Alexander field chance
to take good root before the games are
played.

as a watch-fob, of which he is justly
proud The medal bears the figure OF
boxer standing in offensive pose, and
underneath is inscribed, 'Olympic Club
Tournament, San Francisco, 1908, .
showing that Joe won the amateur
championship in his class for that year
This medal, combined with Leahy s
record, is a hard combination to beat,
and they go to show that we are going
to see a really classy boy when he steps
into the ring. The following is his

him work.
Yesterday morning he was out on the
road, but did no work in the afternoon,
as he has not yet found a sparring part
ner. It is expected that he will have
a full staff by this afternoon and will
probably do his first indoor work on the
Orpheum stage today.
Leahy states that this climate is ideal
for training 81 found" said he,
latter my run this morning that / felt
fine. One perspires so easily and freely
that it seems to take away some of the
effort, and | came in feeling quite re-
freshed. Another grand thing about the
climate here is that it is comfortably
warm at night, and fellow doesn t
take chances of getting a horrible cold
if he goes out of the house without put
ting on lot of extra undertaking,
like in San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Reilly has already started work at
the marine camp. He will not do any
hard work for several days on account
of being quite fit after his little seance
of last Saturday night, and he is taking
no chances of going stale.

SEA WRENS GO
CRITICS TALKS

The tenth order for sea wrens came
in early yesterday morning and was fol-
lowed by combinations from those who
had already promised to come in. All
th4 the committee is now waiting for
is WORD from the other islands as to
how many are coming in, and, as soon
as they hear from those who have ex-
pressed an interest in the boats, the
combined order will be sent back to
the factory.
$AnybOdy who wishes information or
to put an order in downtown may do so
by seeing Ray Rietow at 207 Judd
played and the number of people who
have been into this Office TO look at the
plans, there will be nearer twenty
parts ordered than ten. If this is the
case. the manufacturers will possibly
make further reduction in the price.
There was plenty of talk round town
yesterday with regard to the Yacht
Clubs plans for the disposition of the
yacht Hawaii, and the plan met with
general approval, although there was

dissatisfied ones shifted and said that
It would be a good thing for the Yacht
Club, but when asked for a better sOlu-
ton of the difficulty, they were dumb.
Here are two of the suggestions that
were offered. One was to number each
share in the yacht-that is, each So sub

Shanees, and so ON. Shake all the num-
GERS up in hat and then draw one. The

yacht and the $4,000 debt with it.
another one was to put a earetaker

REILLY SIGNS
UP WITH LEAHY
Weight Question Is Settled
Satisfactorily to All the
Parties Concerned.

After the usual talk and argument
about weight, Joe Leahy and Charlie
Reilly were finally signed up yesterday
to box fifteen rounds in the Orpheun
on Saturday, October II. For a time il
looked as though the weight question
was going to be serious difficulty, but
Leahy gave in to Reilly, and it was
finally decided that they should weigh
in at 131 pounds at five O'Clock on the
afternoon of the bout.
The reason of this is not very appar-
emit until one considers RelIly's cham
pionship possibilities. If he is ever to
become the lightweight champion of the
world, or anywhere near it, he must be
at his very best at 1873 pounds when
he enters the ring.
At present he is slightly lighter than
that. He is at just the right age for
gaining weight Intelligently and, from
| mis- point of view, he is perfectly right
in refusing to make Us pounds any
more. There is no doubt that he could
make 128 pounds easily enough if he
cared to, but being the frst-comer and
having made reputation here, Reilly
is undoubtedly the drawing card, and
so can make ks own terms to great
extent.
Weighing at that notch at FIVE o clock
means tnat Reilly will be Just about 1873
pounds when he enters the ring. This
will add interest to the go, for Reilly
will be sized up with a very classy
boxer, and, should he fail to make a
TyGa CHI |,
away, we may conclude that he will
not rise to the championship ranks for
some time at any rate.
If, on the other hand, Reilly can put
it all over Leahy at that weight, he will
have right to go back to the Coast
and demand attention from the big pro-
motors. A few main preliminaries will
follow, and then a real main event. That
is the way champions are made, especial
ly if they have some well-known man
ager back of them to boost all the time
and act the prolific press agent
1.-THE same may be said for Leahy and
The same may be said for Leahy and
three little boxers who comes out ahead
and defeats the other two decisively
will have a right and a chance to 90
back to the Coast and make a splurge
1t is specially true of boxers that
they are never without honor save in
their own country. Although all these
boys are admired as being very clever
on the Coast, after a trip to Honolulu
and good record here, they win COM
mand infinitely more attention from
the promoters than if they had stayed
by the Golden Gate all the time.
Leahy has decided to work at the
Orpheum. He wanted very much to go
to Fort Shafter, but decided that the
other location was better, as it is right
in town and will give the fans what

NOT MANY At
SOCCER RALLY
DR.. Hand Proposes a Good
Practise Scheme---RoIIer to
Speak Tonight.

NV could not be called a large and
enthusiastic crowd of soccer players
who responded to DIR. Hands request
to all Y. NJ. c. A. players to turn up
mt meeting in the Association rooms
last night, but those few who were
there were live ones of the first water,
and it looks very good for the future
of soccer here.
The object of this meeting was to
get members of the Y M. c. A. who
play the game together to practise be-
fore the league opens the season Off
cially, irrespective of what teams they
play for. The idea is not to develop a
Y. M. c. a. team by any means, but
to give everybody who plays the game
and belongs to the institution a chance
to get fit in the most intelligent way
possible, namely, by playing the game.
DIR. Hand 8 idea was to form three
teams, who would play series of six
games, every Saturday, which would
Just about bring them to the official
season. The winning team would be
banqueted by the Association.
The way the teams would be select
ed would be to divide the players up
into positions, full-backs, half-backs
and forwards, and then let the cap
balm of each team draw players by lot.
This would result in an even distribu-
tioh of the players and probably very
aeven teams.
M This idea was applauded by those
k%resent. and so the doctor appointed a
ommittee of three men to hustle round
DC see all the players, ask them if
They liked the idea and get them to
turn out.
These players viii be taken from
every team in town, but no attempt
will be made to get them away from
their own teams. The Y. NJ. G. A. will
rely entirely on those players who have
represented the Association heretofore
and new material that has come in
since then.
With regard to a ground. DR.. Hand
and some other players will take
look at the Boys Field ground on Lii
liha street, see what condition it is in
aud what must be done to make it
properly fit for soccer and then what
arrangements can be made to hire it
for the use of the soccer players. The
result of all this he will report to the
league at the meeting which is to be
held next Friday night.
DR.. Roller, who will leave for the
Coast on Sunday, will address the Y.
NJ. c. A. tonight and tell something
of how he brought himself to his pres
emf magnificent physical development
and give one of his own pleasant talks
on athletics generally.

THE SONG OF THE SLEEPY
SoCCERITES.

Fifty-seyen postcards
To fifty-seven men,
Each properly directed,
And setting forth just when
A meeting of the players
OF soccer there would be,
To get together and arrange.
Some practise teams, say three.
Doing, we're merely DOING
You couldn t call our slumber
very deep;
Doing, yes, that s it, DOING
We're half awake and only
half asleep.
The evening of the meeting
Arrived, as meetings will;
Three men had parties on that
night,
Another one was i'll.
Within the room sat DR.. Hand,
And just eleven more;
They thought they heard play
er speak,
But it was just a snore.
Dreaming, we're sweetly
dreaming,
Dreaming of the games we
used to play;
Dreaming, you bet we re
dreaming,
So kindly do not wake us up
today.
So DR.. Hand decided
He'd hunt the dustman down,
And stop him making sleepy
The players of this town.
He hustled up three live ones,
And told them to go out
And wake those soccer players,
So soon we II hear them shout:
Waking, of course, we re wax
ing;
We may have been to sleep,
but, just the same,
At last we're waking, yes,
really waking
Wei all turn out TO play the
grand old game.

PATENT CROSSTIE
is GREAT SUCCESS

Jackson, Miss, October 1.-(Special)-
The Mississippi friends of Mr.. c. 7.
Moore, formerly of the northern part of
this state, will be interested to learn that
he has recently patented crosstie that
is destined to make him a millionaire
and wish him the greatest measure of
success. The patent is described in the
patent journals as something for which
the railroad world has been looking for
for years-that is for a crosstie that
will hold the rails in place and will
last 1t is claimed for this patented tie,
which is METAL lined and capped, that it
is impossible for the rails to spread, that
it is impossible for human beings or cattle
to walk on the railroads using them,
thus saving millions in damage suits, and
that they will last 100 years. Mr.. Moore
has already received number of fiat
tering offers for the patent, and some of
the biggest manufacturing concerns in
the country have offered fine royalties
on the tie If permitted to manufacture
and offer them to the railroads of the
country. Mr.. Moore is a brother of Mrs
Dunbar Rowland of this city, He is now
citizen and prosperous farmer near
Colt, Ark, having removed to that state
several years ago.

GOVERNOR LOWRY
CANNOT RECOVER

of his people and for half century has
been dear to many hearts. He has been
true to every trust in private as we'll

friends will grieve to learn that his
