Arrangements
FOR FLEET Sports
Regatta At Waikiki
Field Meet And
Baseball

The various phases of athletic en-
tertainment for the Fleet were gone
into at some length yesterday after
noon at a meeting of the Sports
Committee held in the Offices OF
Chairman A. l.. c. Atkinson. The
meeting was held to receive the re-
ports of the subcommittee in charge
of various departments of sport.
Committees were urged to have
their schedules arranged in few
days. as they are needed for the prep
aration of program.
Track Meet
Chairman Paul Super of the Com
mittee on Field Sports reported that
a field meet has been arranged, in all
It's details, open for men from the
city and from the Fleet. gold, silver,
and bronze medals being offered for
the winners. The appropriation of
$3.50 for this branch of sport Is
thought sufficient.
| A proposition to give money as
prizes to the sailors was turned
down. This would destroy the ANA
teur standing of every man taking
part in the meet and would prevent
many local men from turning out.
Football
Chairman George of the Commit
tee on Football reported that he has
20 players on the string, but has not
had them out at work, as 1t is doubt
full whether the proposed games will
come of at all. He further reported
that J. c. Anderson stands ready to
put socker team In the field at any
time. II was moved and carried to
put the arrangements for socker
game. II one Is to be held, in the
hands of the Intercollegiate Football
Committee.
Baseball
c. F. Chillingworth, chairman of
the Baseball Committee, reported
that he could put into the field four
teams an afternoon, II necessary or
desirable, and suggested four games
on one afternoon. two at Aala Park
and two at Kapiolani Park. and four
games the following afternoon, two
at Atkinson Park and two at the
League grounds. National teams
have also been booked.
No admission will be charged to
games. About all that the $3.50 ap-
preparation is needed for is to buy
new balls, and meet other incidental
items. A. l.. c. Atkinson suggested
that as many games as possible be
played at Aala Park, as the largest
crowds attend there, and he further
suggested that part of the appro-
priation be used for the Improvement
of these grounds.
Indoor Athletics
! Nothing will be done definitely
about boxing, wrestling. tug-o'-war,
and other indoor sports, until Super
intendent of Public Works Marston
Campbell has been consulted in re-
gard to securing the old fishmarkct
for the purpose.
Owing to the resignation of Sam
Johnson as chairman number of
names were suggested of men to I'll
his place. among them being Colonel
Jones, Joel Cohen, and II. NJ. Ayres.
The appointment is to be left to A.
l.. G. Atkinson. the chairman of the
General Committee on Sports.
Boat Races
The Committee on Boat Races had
no representative at the meeting yes
terday. However, 1t was stated that
the Fleet will want no boat-racing in
the bay while It is here, and 1t was
moved and carried to use the $1,000
appropriation which was originally
to have been used for such u race,
to give big regatta at Waikiki
beach, to include canoe races. surf
riding. and probably some Japanese
sampan races.
The harbor races, which have been
made second choice to the regatta at
the beach, were originally to have
been the big events in the sports line
while the Fleet was here.
Those present yesterday were Mes
srs. Atkinson, Super, Bray, Chilling
worth, Sheba. G.. Carter, N. Fernan-
DEE, and C. George.
