RINGER CHIEFS
TEAM WINS OUT

The Kalihi Athletics pulled off anoth-
er victory yesterday morning by de-
feating the Waileles at Kapiolani Park
with an to 3 score. Although the los
ing team was composed of players
selected from two or three teams from
the Atkinson and Riverside Leagues
they failed to connect with Paul Burns
swift curves. The waterfall team root
ers were out there in force but they
were soon siIenced when the Kalihi
lads started the ball aroiling. IL was
no walkover for the Kalihis, who won
the game by clever team work. The

OLD RUGBY SONG
AFTER PRACTISE

The Rugby movement has started
There is no getting away from it, All
the 'Lmejuicers are talking Rugby.
You hear it on the cars, on the street
corners and over the telephones. You
even get it mixed up with baseball
Yesterday morning out at KapiOlani
park a bunch of enthusiasts got hold
of a ball and started 90 practise after
the Alameda Engineers game.
Riordan, White and Jerome from the
Alameda were the ringleaders and they
soon had merry bunch following them.
There was some long punting and drop
kicking and then they formed a serum
and the jumping half-back put the pill
lule in ard the two punches of for
wards did their best to get possession.
When they were all through they got
together and somebody started the good
old Rugby song TO the tune Of "Just
song at twilight:
Once in a game, the teams / can
recall,
Eight husky forwards were standing
round the ball
Up came the captain, anger in his eye,
Come on you lazy louis, just one more
try. !"
Then down the field our forwards went
so fast
Dribbhng until again their line was
passed.
Just another try, boys, ere the whistle
blows.
While the ehattering half back swiftly
comes and goes,
Though your limbs be weary and your
throat be dry,
Buck up now. you forwards, let's have
one more try.

REPORTS FAIL TO

Several results Of ball games were
not turned in to the Advertiser last
night Notably the boys game at At
kinsou park. This paper has stated
several times that it is unable 10 have
reporters at every game, much as it
would like to do So II is up 10 man
ayers and scorers to either telephone

office and get score cards on which they
can make out the detailed score.

ALWAYS do its best 10 help along clean

vertiser has aided them in doing so.

SIMPSON WINS
TOURNAMENT

Austin White came very near to win
ming the second Tansan tournament at
Moanalna yesterday but he was not
quite there and, though he tied with
". Simpson in the first match, he was
defeated by the size of the winner s
handicap in the play off.
The weather was good for golf, but
no high scores were made, in fact, the
average was well below that of the
scores at Haleiwa White was off color
in the afternoon, his drives were good
but he fell down when it came to put
ting and lost most of his Roadway on
the green's.

SOLDIERS WANT
TO PLAY PALAMAS

The Fort Shafter team is not so well
known as it should be. The jolly sol
der boys have a very fine aggregation
of bali tossers and have a wonderful
record for the last few months. They
have played fourteen games and lost
only two of them, winning the other
twelve by large margins.
Emil Gongol is their manager and he
is there with fine bunch Of boys to
back him up. He states for publica-
ton that the MOusquetiers are get
ting right sassy about this time aud
feel Just right to trim the victorious
Palamas. There is a big tub Of that
Waialua stuff, commonly known rs
whitewash, MP in the fort and the sol
diers would like to have a chance TO
spread it over the craniums of the Riv-
erside champions.
The game should take place next Sun
day to please the Opu nine and II is
up to the Palamas to accept and play
the men in khaki.
Explanation Of the above euphemism
is scarcely necessary. Anybody who
ever saw General Shafter get into
two-seated buggy will appreciate the
aIlusion. There was a time when he
and General H. G. Otis broke a hack
but that, as Rudyard Kipling says, is
another story.
The Palamas are properly swelled up
about their victory Lor' bless 'em,
thew deserve TO be. But the ehronieler
of sporting events is very anxious TO
see them butt IN against the soldiers.
For this reason thew will be properly
and numerically iingled until such
time as they accept the challenge.

Pilot Akina got into trouble early in
the voyage of the good ship c. A. c.
yesterday afternoon, and soon had her
foul of the rocks. In the third inning
the skipper hailed another wheel hand
Ter, by the name of John Lo, and sent
him into the pilot-house. He came very
near TO saving the ship, but she was in
too bad a way, and with eight big holes
punched in her side when Lo took
charge, although only one more jagged
rock went through while he was there,
the gallant craft foundered, and the
Palamas were the victors and the su-
preme champions of the Riverside
League, having won both series.
1t was sad slaughter. The Palamas
were in great form, while Chi Bui S
warriors were all to the Iemon-eolored
hand-out. His Majesty, the King of
Spain, stood in the box and sent over
a bunch of twists that the dragonlets
couldn t find with a searchlight. 1t is
true that they found ROYALTY twelve
times, but the man from Madrid only
smiled when they bingled, for he had
them scattered, and there was no use
in any of them.
Hoodoo whitewash.
Things took on a hoodoo color from
the time that gaudily ornate serving
man, or field tender, or whatever you
call it, exposed a big can of whitewash,
the which he proceeded to sprinkle on
the plate and along the lines wherever
his sweet will directed. Somebody made
a crack about the stuff belonging to the
c. A. Cs., and then it was all off, with
the goose feathers dropping and stick
ing straight up in the air
There were four thousand and four
policemen on the grounds, four of them
wore uniform, and A. X. Vierra was
the other four thousand. He carried
his stick of Office right majestically,
and shooeG the crowd back during the
later innings when they showed signs
of wanting to rush onto the field and
argue with Eddie Fernandez, the UNI
pire.
Eddie was all there with the indi-
Gator. His decisions were not hooted,
as the rooters at Aala Park have
great respect for his ability, and also
some of them respect equally his ability
to take care of himself when they
become threatening in their criticisms.
The banstand was full of band, and
Captain Berger did himself proud. He
had selection of French marches that
bristled with martial ardor, and he let
them go in between innings with a
stopover until the Palamas had made a
run or two, when he would switch off
and turn round to take in the game
The mimic battlefield of Aala Park al
ways takes the good captain back to
Sedan and Versailles, and, between in
nings. he lives over again the days of
the Commune until one begins to won
der why the deuce the Palamas don t
begin to shoot down the G. A. Cs. all
in a row.

words the boys from the Alameda, took

SAILORS REACH
THE MAST HEAD
Standing of the Atkinson League

The sailors from the Iroquois did the
tick yesterday morning by defeating
the Ala Moanas, and one Nygell Lor-
rynge was smiling ali over himself
during the afternoon game at Aala
Park. He said that he had broken his
habit of scoring the first run. but he
made the first bingle and got as far
as third, where an unkind fate stopped
him.
The Iroquois beat the Ala Moanas,
and the naniwais put one more on
the poor marines by 10 to s. This
puts the Iroquois at the head of the
league, as the Kewalos had a day off
and did not play. There will be some
thing doing when these two teams get
together, and they win have a great
struggle for the final championship.
Dreier pitched for the sailors and
twirled good game, although they
did put over thirteen hits on him. Ma
kolo and Kaai alternated in the box
for the losers, and both were found
badly to the tune of twenty six bin
giles. The feature of the game was
the home run of Townsend in the sec
ond, which started landslide, during
which the tugboat got away from her
moorings and spun five times round
the harbor before the winged kids
could catch it and drop the anchor
overheard.
Both games were fast and snapps.

they get few minutes to spare. The

They made two more in the eighth. Chi

That was the last run the dragons
could make but the Palamas made their
ninth in the ninth as thus: Bailey
famed, but Kealoha sent the ball abath-
ing and walked to second. Walker hit
to Lo who made bad throw to third
to get Kealoha out and the latter was
safe. Royalty then few out but Kea-
Ioha had time to get in after the catch
and the throne took credit for sacri-
fee. This ended the game for the Pa
.4amas.
The C. A. Cs. did their best in the
ninth to let the balloon loose but there
was nothing doing in aeronautics. Hon
Chack bingled and stole second but was
caught Mapping on his way to third.
Mon Yin also singled but was forced
out on Sing Chong's hit to second then
Chi Bui died at first and the game was
over with an overwhelming victory for
the Palamas.
There will be no more Riverside
senior baseball this year. The River

at Aala Park until the Kalanianaole
league starts up, which viii be towards
