Seeker Team
To HiIO On
July Fourth

A letter has been received from
Manager Mckenzie of the Hawaii
socker football team by Ed. Fernan-
dez, who managed the socker team
that visited Hawaii last year, asking
him to pick a team to play in Hilo
on the Fourth of July. 1t will be the
second match for the c. c. Kennedy
Cup. Oahu won the first leg and
should they come out to the good this
year the cup will remain here. 1t
is now in the possession Of Il. Fer
nandez.
Mckenzie states that the Volcano
Stables, which is handling the cele-
bration sports, will pay all expenses
of the teams trip. The Hilo Jockey
Club was in charge last year, and
they only paid one-half the expenses
of the Oahu club. There will un-
doubtedly be some hard fighting this
year, as the huskies on the Big ISL
and are determined not to lose all
chances for the Kennedy Cup. This
they would do II they lost the second
game.

INItE=- ISLAND
SERIES ASSURED
AlI.-Hilo Team Eager
To Meet Champs
Here

Prospects for an inter-island base
ball tournament are becoming
brighter every day. An attempt was
made last year to hold a series of
games between the teams from the
various Islands, but the matter fell
through. This year, however, Ed.
Fernandez, baseball manager of the
Diamond Head Athletic Club and
prominent in other branches of sport,
has been quietly working the propo-
sition up by writing to the teams on
the other Islands to find out what
they had to say about champion
ship series.
The other day he received letter
from George, Desha, manager of the
All-Hilo baseball team, and It was
very encouraging indeed. Desha
states that SO far as his team, the
enc which would represent Hawaii,
was concerned, the thing was settled
for his men are willing and eager to
clash with the pick of the other ISL
ands. The mere fact alone of the
enthusiasm evinced by the Hawaii
contingent Is guarantee that there
will be an inter-island series, for the
champs of Oahu are anxious to get a
whack at their brother ball-tossers
on the Big Island.
The present plan evolved by Ed.
Fernandez is to hold the Territorial
meet Immediately after the regular
season is pau here. This means that
the usual schedule of games will be
given to the fans with an additional
series between the cream of all the
Islands. oahu, Hawaii, Maui, and
Kauai will be represented II the
plans of Fernandez and other local
baseball fans go through.

TAME SOGKER GAME

Punahou Juniors won the socker
football contest from the High School
Yesterday by score OF three to moth
ing. The game was slow and tame
on account of the fact that no team
work was used, though at times in
dividual players shone brilliantly.
Lack of consistent team practice
seems to be. the main fault with the
majority of the school teams here.
Every school team should be able to
play together above all other things.
The lineup was as follows:

Mrs. Edmund Mitchell and

Knocked Down and Es-
cape With SIighfIniuries

Plunged into by runaway horse and

had narrow escape from serious in
juries at Fifth and Market streets at
noon today. They were Mrs. Edmund
Mitchell. and daughter. Miss Emily M.
Mitchell, OF No. 1908 Delaware avenue.
They are the wife and daughter OF
Major Edmund Mitchell, vice president
Of the Wilmington Gas and Electric
Company.
While they were cut and bruised
their escape from serious injuries was
regarded as miraculous by the holiday
throngs who witnessed the accident.
and among whom a small panic was
created for awhile.
Mrs. Mitchell. Miss Mitchell and a.
friend were buying some holly from
a stand at the corner when the horse
OF DIR. Willard E. Smith, which was on
Fifth street. suddenly took a notion
to run away. II plunged toward Mar
kct street and directly upon the shop
pers at the stand in the street. Be
fore Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Mitchell
could get out OF the way the horse
was upon them.
II struck Mrs. Mitchell, hurting her
TO the street and against the curb.
Her head struck the stone with great
force. and large lump and small
laceration were sustained on her fore
head. Miss Mitohclrs position was
far moro perlous, however. for the
horse knocked her down and while she
was helpless in the street one OF the
iron shod hoofs struck her on the head.
A laceration nearly an inch long was
made. How she escaped without being
run over and trampled more seriously
was beyond the comprehension of witt
nesses The horse was caught before
it had gotten far.
Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Mitchell were
taken into Baynard's jewelry store. DR..
Smith Immediately gave them his at
