Game, If Scheduled, Will
Probably Be Played at
Charlottesville.

Manager David A. Baer. Of the George
Washington University football team, IS
busy considering teams suitable for NIL
ing the open date on his schedule left
by SwarthmOre withdrawal from in
terconegiate football In this counec-
ton a rumor has been spread among
the student body 10 the effect that the
University Of Virginia may yet al a
place on the Hatchetita schedule.
Il is known that the Charlottesville
team and thu local eleven have both
been anxious for a game, bug satisfac-
tory dates could not be decided upon
either last year or for the season of
1908. and all thoughts Of . game be
tween the two institutions mad been
abandoned. While 1t Is probable that
Virginia will have the date filed by
some OF the minor State teams, il would
not be at all surprising II they should
effect a cancellation Of any such game,
could arrangements be perfected for
a contest with the local eleven.
The game, If scheduled, viii probably
be played at Charlottesville as the local
mana cement has made a precedent OF
two Out-Of-toWn games In the past,
Swarthmore being one CT them, and
the matter OF coming TO washington
for two games in a season, was the
chief cause OF the HatChetites failing
TO appear on the Orange and Blue s
schedule last season. The only thing
that seems to initiate against the con-
test at the present time IS the fact
that the HatChetites have aspirations
to the Southern champ cnship next fall
with the prospect of having nearly the
entire team of 1907 back, and q defeat
at such an early date in the season
would not only be a blamish on the
seasons record but also mora or less
OF a encouragement for tbs players. AS
the Virginia squad gets under way az
a much earlier date than the local ag-
gregation, Il is argued that they would
be In better shape FOR hard contest.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Word was re-

went ashore at the end of Pirates Bar,
along the Jersey coast yesterday after
noon, has been fioated, and is now on

The seminole was hauled off the sands
early today by the ATerritt-Chapman

patched southwark yesterday as soon
as the Clyde people heard that the Sem
mole was ashore. The steamer, at lat
est reports. was creeping slowly up the
coast because Of the fog and probably
will arrive in New York this afternoon.
The passengers spent the night on the
stranded vessel, but had no fear, They
had the greatest confidence in Captain
Mckenzie, and ne had assured them
there was no danger. The Seminole

HISTORY OF
LOCAL SOCKER

The following sketch of the history
of Association Football in Honolulu.
by John Woo. appears in the Aliiolani
Annals:
Although at one time Association
football was not thought much of in
Honolulu, it is now rapidly becoming,
especially in the schools, one of the
most popular sports. The game is Of
ancient British origin and is especially
played in Scotland and the north of
England. The first team in Honolulu
was started in the fall of 1900, when a
series of games was played between
the local Scotch players and a team
of school boys, organized by Mr.. L. G.
Blackman. OF this school team the
writer was one of the charter mem
bers, together with Mr.. J. G.. Anderson,
Mon Yin, E. Andrews and others, who
have since distinguished themselves in
various ways.
The writer we'll remembers the diff
culties in securing a field for playing
The only place for matches was at
Makiki, and the school team was also
in difficulty for a practise ground. For
this purpose it had to walk nearly a
mile TO a small patch of ground which
the players themselves cleared UP Nuu-
anu Valley among the guava scrub.
The recollection of returning home at
the Double amid Nuuanu rain, of the
team driving home in an express wagon
from matches won (and losD ami the
vociferous commands of our captain to
'Take the man" are. all alive in the
memory.
In these early games the figure OF
the kindly Bob Anderson. of the dough-
ty James C. McGili of J. S. Bowie and
of E. c. Munro loom large. Matches
were played regularly as the years
passed by, and each season saw an in
crease in the popularity of the game.
There seems every prospect OF Asso-
citation football soon receiving as much
attention in the Honolulu schools as
any other game. gs

SAM JOHNSON
WON'T REFEREE

Colonel Johnson has declined to ref
cree the wrestling match between
Frank Kanae and Hans Froelecher, on
the grounds that Kanae is an employee
of the road department and also
member of the National Guard.
Colonel Johnson's position, if he ref
creed the bout, would naturally be a
delicate one and this is the reason for
his declining to be the third man in
the ring.
Harry Cobb will probably be selected
to referee the bout. Cobb understands
the game thoroughly and has the con-
fidence of the community. If he
agrees to officiate on the night of the
18th, no one will have any kick coming.

SEASIDE LEAGUE
THE LATEST
Five Teams to Play Series OF
Baseball on Oil Tank
Diamond.

A new baseball league, composed of
the Pacific Baseball Club, Starlights.
Oukwas, sweet violets and Star Lines.
has been organized, and the first games
will be played at the Oil-Tank ground
on Sunday afternoon, commencing
promptly at 1880 o'clock.
The Seaside League is the name given
to the new organization. and its officers
are: H Mkt, president; j. NJ. Asing,
vice president and manager; Sau Chin
Wong. secretary: S. Sawai. treasurer.
The five league teams have many star
players in them, especially the Pacific.
which seems to be as strong as some
of the teams playing at the Aala Park.
Geo. Pang, and Sau Chin. the manager
and captain of this team feel very
proud of their nine.
Hung Fong, one of the largest Chi
nese firms in the city, has presented
the new league with a beautiful silver
cup, which will be displayed in the
the next week
The league has been working hard
during the past week to get the ground
in good shape. A back-stop will be set
up and the diamond laid out this week.
The committee is trying to secure the
services of one of the officers of the
Territory to perform the ceremony of
opening the season.
