PLAYERS FOR
MAUI CHOSEN
Five Doubles Are Selected to
Play in the Tennis
Tournament.

Polo is not the only sport to figure
in the big meeting at Puunene, Maui,
next week. The knights of the racket
viii be there with the clean iiannels
and the husky forearms to turn and
twist the ball over the net and Make
the giddy umpire watch the dust above
the line. y
This is the second annual event of its
kind and will be brought off once a
year in the future. The Baldwins have
put up a fine trophy for tennis as weII
as polo and the visitors from Honolulu
are determined to repeat their success
of last year and come back with the
tennis cup once again.
1t is not known yet how many play
ers will be aboard the Mikahala when
she leaves Honolulu but it is expected
that there will be more than those who
have already signifed their intention
of going.
The tennis games are played in gen
tlemen's doubles, eighteen games for
each team. After all the games are
played the number of games won by
each team are added together and the
aggregate result decides whether the
cup comes to Honolulu again or stays
in Mani. "a
The players to represent Honolulu
have already been selected and some
of the cleverest raeket-wielders on tho.
island will be there to keen the Maui
players on the love level. J. P. Cooke
and John Waterhouse, b. w. Anderson
and c. G. Boekus, Capt. f. Ii. Hnmph-
rey and Harold Castle, w. p. Roth and
s. M. Ballou and r. Il. Steere and X.
d. Mead are the doubles who will play
in the tournament --h
The Hawaiian Commercial end Sugar
company is the Deus Maehinartim OF
the meeting and the Baldwins have
made every arrangement for the enter
tainment and convenience of visitors.
The Mauna Kea will arrive at Me-
Gregor's landing Tuesday afternoon
and they have made arrangements for
automobiles to meet visitors there who
come on the early steamer.
The Inter-Island Steamship company
has made a round trip fare of $40 for
this event and tickets will be good for
return on the Mikahala or the Claud-
inc. The latter vessel is scheduled to
leave Kahului before sunset but special
arrangements have been made to hold
her over until eleven clock so that
those who wish to take part in or wit
ness the tennis tournament and attend
| the dance in the evening and yet get
back to Honolulu the following morn
ing, may do so.
After the tennis on Wednesday there
will be a dance in the big barn at Puu-
meme and the music will be provided
by ten players specially brought from
Honolulu for this occasion.
Thursday will be given up to polo
when the Oahu and Maui teams will
play for the inter-island championship.
The Maui players are in very good
shape to win a hard game but the Ho-
nolulu boys have selected grand team
and there is very good possibility
that both the tennis and polo cups will
come to Honolulu for the ensuing year.
A half holiday has been declared on
the plantations surrounding Puunene
for Thursday so that all the employees
may attend the polo games and join
in the general good times. The people
of Maui are deeply interested in the
teams that represent them and there
will be a large crowd TO watch the
island champions battle for supremacy.
