The Rapid Transit team, otherwise
known as the Ding Dings, played in
hard luck. Reuter-, the star player.
was unable to play as was Fern, an
other fast player whom the Ding Dings
used to much advantage last season.
Boyer and Hamauku played the best
all round game for the Transits yester-
day. While the car men played with
out much practise, certain splurges in
the game were good. st. John, who
pitched, has the making of tWirler
and had his wing been in its regular
condition, things might not have gone
as easily as they did for the Puns.
The car men were the first to bat.
Hamauku struck heavily and made a
rum something which his team were
unsuccessful in repeating until the
third inning. when Boyer landed one,
which closed the run-naking record
for the transfer punchers.
As for the Puns, their playing was
good for SO early in the season. On
went back on him, when Lyman was
sent to take his place, a position which
he filled in good shape.
Umpire Warren's decisions were fair
and clearly delivered, the one or two
which We're not to the liking Of the
loser being probably from a lack of
attention to that particular phase of
the game which the men claim was
violated
Owing to the fact that a number of
the players were on duty at different
times during the life of the game, a
number of changes in the lineup had to
be made till at the close of the ninth
inning. the car men were playing with

| Tonight the first wrestling champion
wall comes off at the Orpheum. The
principals will be Hans Froelecher, 16S-
pound champion of the world, and
Frank Kanae, the strongest man in the
Territory Both men nave trained
faithfully and will take the mat in very
nearly perfect condition. There viii be
about thirty pounds difference in
weights.
Two good preiiminaries have been
arranged, a boxing exhibition and an
other wrestling bout and all who at
tend the show are assured fine nights
sport.
The first number on the program
will be a catch as-catch-can wrestling
bout between Sailor Roberts of the u.
S. S. Iroquois and Amosa Kauahi, the
longshoreman champion. Betting on
these men is about even.
four-round exhibition spar will fol-
low between Wahilani, Honolulu boy,
and George Foster, a recently arrived
boxer from South Australia. The affair
will be purely of an exhibition nature
and will be refereed by August Rel
necke otherwise known as boxer Bill
Baxter. The latter was to have gone
on with the native but sprained his
thumb badly in training.
The main event will be refereed by
Harry Cobb and it would be hard to
find man more capable Of fulfilling
this arduous task. The men will bar
the hammerlock, strangleholds, flying
mare, Ieg-up-the-b back, and full Nelson.
This was decided on at a conference
with Referee Cobb held yesterday
morning. Pete Baron and August Rel
necke viii second Froelecher and Ka-
nae will be esquired by Will Prestidge
and Jimmy Spencer.
Both the big men are in the best
| of shape and await the gong. Kanae
| looks a picture of health but Froelecher
| is apt to impress the crowd as being
| a bit finely drawn. The latter has
worked down here as he would have
worked on the mainland and he has
lost weight surprisingly.
| FToelecher was a two to one favorite
over Kanae last night. with even money
wanted that the native doesn't get a
fall. A challenge or two is looked for
at the ringside. notably from Mitsuka,
! the giant Jap, who is DESTROYS of wrest-
| ling the winner.
the advance SAFE OF seats yesterday
was very good and it looks as if the
house would be sold completely out
before the first preliminary is called.
! The box office viii be open at 10 a. m.
The referee has stated that he will
stand for no unnecessarily rough work
and he NAV be relied upon to act up
to his word
The winner of tonight's bouts will
be undisputed champion of Hawaii and
will then defend his title against all
corners, and there is talk that Cham
pfon McLaghlan wants to come down
here from the Coast and sample the
local game.
The dope on the big event tonight
points to the Swiss. Kanae will prob
ably keep away from him as long as
possible, and when they go to the mat
viii strive to tire him out
Even if Froelecher gets the first
fall these tactics will tell on him in
the second period. for he will be at a
disadvantage of thirty pounds in the
weights.
kanae's stronghold would seem to be
his size and great strength, and if he
wrestles aggressively without taking
any chances he may get at least a
fall

JOHNSON VS. HUBER
Big Individual Match to be Bowled in the Near
 Future.
HOME TO HOME SERIES
Swift and HOtchl1iss Back Bowlers Their Interstate League
 Records.

An individual match which ought to prove one of the most interesting ever held in this city will be rolled between Charlie Johnson, the bowl ing star of Swift X Hulse's alleys, cap tain of the New Haven. state league team, and a member of the New Ha- ven Interstate organization, and Otto Huber, the renowned pinknght of the Tuxedo alleys, manager of the New Haven Independents and also a mem Der of the New Haven Interstate bowling team The dates of the match, which will consist of home to home series, have not been decided upon yet, but the first of the series will be within a couple of weeks.
 Jean Swift. manager of the New Haven State league team, and who with Hulse own and manage the Academy alleys on Orange street, has with Kim Hotchkiss of the Tuxedo alleys, conferred. The meeting be- tween these two bowling magnates was a decisive one, both agreeing that two men would not have been better matched. The managers are proud of their charges and both felt confident that their. man will come out on top.
 The match has been brooded over for some time, but this is the first time tho two men have been decisively booked to meet. Before Swift took charge of the Orange street alleys the two men (Johnson and Hdber) were on the warpath, but now they have a brotherly affection for each other Both men have experience. Huber probably a little more than his picked adversary. The two bowlers are well known as two of the best in the city and probably the state, and their meeting ought to arouse great interes, among the bowling fans of this city and in other cities throughout the state
 The respective ability of the two bowlers can hardly be agreed upon but records in the interstate league during the games the two men have rolled in gives Otto the preference In the last four games Huber has rolled an average of 6029, while Johnson has rolled but 551.S
 The number of games have not vel been decided upon, but will no doubt be the best II out of 21 games. Where the first of the series will be played will be left to a toss up.
 The match will not be for the championship of New Haven, but il will decide the great perplexing ques- tion Who is the better bowler, John. son or Huber2"

Home Nights for the Hub Team Defer the Adoption of a
 Schedule.
APPLICATIONS REJECTED
BrocktOn and Salem Not Accepted- New Britain Affair Not Med
 dled With.

The first meeting of the National Polo league for the year 1908 was held yesterday afternoon at the Garde hotel Boston has been doing well in her new headquarters and will probably remain there undisturbed for the rest of the season, but as the home nights for the leaders have not been decided upon yet the magnates were unable to draw out more than a two weeks schedule. It was, however, decided that as soon as the Hub team settles its home nights the secretary and his assist ants are. to get out the schedule and send it around to the managers to see if it is universally favorable.
 The date for the meeting was called first for yesterday, then changed until Sunday, Januarp 19, and then Satur- day night rechanged to yesterday All the managers but McMahon of Water bury were at the meeting. Starkie rep resented the Boston ,aggregation, George Bone for the locals, Cunning ham for Pawtucket. McKenna foI Providence, Hanna for New Britain and Eadie for Bridgeport. President Smith and Secretary Payne attended the meeting.
 Brockton and Salem, Mass, made ap' plication for admission to the league but they were not accepted.
 The trouble at New Britain, Satur- day night, when Cusick, the Water bury goal-tender, hit Schiller, the New Britain first rush. was discussed The managers decided that as Doherty had taken action on the matter there was nothing left for them to do Ref. cree Doherty in deciding the case told Cusck that he would either fine hin S1O or else he (Cusick) would have tc leave the game, Cusick went out and the Waterbury five made severa changes In his action, Doherty went past the limit allowed in cases of this kind. He could fine Cusick, but he was not allowed to give the Water bury goal-tender the alternative of el' ther paying the fine of slO or leaving the game The referee was excited and under the circumstances desired tt settle the matter without a row. Ills method although not according to the rules of the league will be accepted fol that one case. The National league magnates have decided not to take any action. Cusick will not have to pay tht fine but can return and play.
 There will not be another meeting be fore the schedule is made out for this matter will be left entirely in Secre sary Pynes hands and the sooner ht gets 1t into form and around the cir cult the better for everyone The var ious cities have suffered the situation of not being able to know one weei from another but have had to long and anxiously await the issue of thu weekly schedule. We are now on th' border of the hope line with good pros poets.

NEW BASEBALL BOOK.
Records Go Back to Old Pro" Jeaeue
 in 1871

Something new t the way of a base ball publication has just been issued in the Spalding Athletic Library series -"Spalding's Official Baseball Record. /" edited by Henry Chadwick, the Father of Base Ball"
 As it's name indicates, the book is essentially statistical, but not the cut and-dried kind so often found in that class of publications, as a glance at the contents will show Many of the rec ords contained therein will appeal to the old d-time fans whose memories go back to the organization of the Nation al league n 1876 or the old first Pro fessional Association in 1871.
 A timely innovation is the publica- tion of the complete official averages of the major and minor leagues, which formerly did not appear until the reg ular edition of the Spalding Guide. This will be appreciated by all fol- lowers of the game who wish to know last years standing of the new re- cruits drafted for the coming season.

MAY INSURE ITSELF.
City May Take Risk of Public
 Buildings.

There is a strong probability that the present city administration may inaugurate system of municipal in surance. The question has been brought before number of boards of finance in the past few years. but nothing definite has ever been done. as so many members on the boards have feared the risk was too great.
 Controller Rowe Is strongly in favor of the plan. and says it will be of great advantage to the city in its f. nancial affairs. The controller says it will take time and at the outset might prove risky. but that if the city will set aside s10,000 a year into fire in- surance fund, in five years the city would be in a position to handle its own fire insurance.
 Continuing. Controller Rowe said: The city at present pays on an aver age of s7.000 a year in premiums. Last year it was s9.000 and this year it is estimated to be S7000 When the fund for the fire insurance would have grown to S50.O00. it is my opin- ionn that there would he but little risk in the city handling all it's insurance and thereby adding s7.000 each year till the fund reached s1O0. 900 and then the city would be solid and there would h- -- risk at all.
