TOGET A GOOD
DINNER CHEAP

There will be great doings in the
golf line next Sunday. There will be
one particular star and three others of
magnitude, though of lesser brilliance.
The particular star is J. D. McInerny
of this city, and the neat plan that
lhe fixed up to get good dinner for
himself is stoo good to keep. The idea
was not his own, but was the COM
McInerny suggested to a friend that
he would really like a fine dinner at
the Young Hotel, but that he did not
care to pay for it. He said that he
felt certain that it.would taste great
deal better if someone else was doing
the honors.
His friend suggested a scheme, which
was carefully worked out. Telepathy
was used and mental suggestion. The
last worked the trick and the idea was
placed in the mind of r. J. Buchly to
challenge him to a golf contest Buchly
knew perfectly we'll that he could not
win. and Mac was too fast for him,
and amended with the suggestion of a
foursome He said: you get your
friend O'Neill and I will pick up w. H.
Mcclellan. We will play for a dinner.
I know, of course, that I will have to
pay for it. as we don't have much
show, but I want to have a couple of
chaps for a little dinner anyhow"
The plan worked and Buchly fell.
Now he realizes that he is up against
a hard game and would like to find
good way to win out. As the result,
]. D. has been going without lunch
for the past three days, getting ready
for that dinner, which he feels sure of
at the expense of Buchly and O'Neill.

SCHOOL SOCKER
HAS COMMENCED
The Kamehameha Defeats High
School Yesterday in the
First Game.

2 Promptly at four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the first of the interscholas-
tic series of socker games was pulled
off at the Makiki field, the Highs and
the Kamehamehas being the openers.
The former lost to the latter by a
score of 20.
Considering the fact that this was
the opening game, yesterdays playing
was far from bad. Good individual
work was shown throughout the game.
though the Highs did bit poorly
when it came to team work.
A feature of the game was the
heading done by the Rams. They
seemed to want to knock the ball
about by humping it with their heads,
rather than kicking it on the ground.
It certainly was a pretty bit of work
to see six Kan men knock the ball
to each other in quick succession with
their heads and the play was heartily
applauded

SOCKER GAMES
AT MlAKIKI

There will be two interesting games
of socker at the Makikf grounds this
the Punahous and the Y. NJ c. A. and
the second between the Diamond Heads
and the Males. The four teams have
all been practising hard of late, and
better football will be seen today than
has been witnessed so far this season.
The games viii be played off quickly,
and, with the snappy way in which
they have been handled, should be over
before 5 o'clock. Chairs are always on
the grounds and these Saturday after
noon games are becoming quite popu-
lar among the ladies of the city who
are interested in athletics.

From the above it will be seen that
some of the best tennis players in the
United States will visit California this
fall, and it seems that it might be
possible to bring one or two of them
to this city. Such men as Larned,
Wright and Davis would be a revela-
ton to the local players, and to see
exhibitions by them would be a great
card. Besides this, they are all gen.
tlemen and would probably make
many social friends before leaving Ho-
nolulu.
In all probability Beals Wright will
be accompanied by his younger
brother, Irving Wright, who is also an
exceptionally fine tennis player. Ir-
wing Wright is probably the smallest
tennis player in the world who has
ever shown a great amount of skill.
For several years he has been listed
as among the first ten players in the
country, and he is only a little over
five feet in height Regardless of
this, he can play at the net or in the
back court The springs which he
makes into the air, and the accuracy
of his volleying while a couple of feet
from the ground, are most remarkable.

COAST To SEE
FAST TENNIS
Champion Players Might Come
to Honolulu if
Invited.

] SAN FRANCISCO, January 15.-W.
A. Larned, the present national ten
mis- champion; Beals G. Wright, Hoi-
combe Ward and at least one other
top-notch Fastener will journey to
this Coast next September and WELD
their rackets in the annual Coast
championships.
This interesting news was conveyed
to the writer this morning by Sumner
Hardy of the Pacific States Lawn Ten
mis- Association, who has been in COM
munication with George Wright of
Boston, Mass. Hardy says that unless
present plans miscarry a quartet of
tennis experts from the Atlantic Coast
will surely be seen here in competi-
ton during the fall. It is their in
tention to enter the championship
events in both singles and doubles and
also to participate in several exhibit
ton games. Hardy leaves for the
East the first of February to spend
several months in Boston, taking a
postgraduate course in dentistry, and
while in New York will make all ar
rangements for the trip West.
For several years past about the
time practise commenced for the big
Journeys an effort has been made to
get several of the East's best tennis
men to compete here, but all attempts
were futile, and since the visit of the
national champions to Del Monte eight
years ago Beals Wright has been the
only Eastern player to appear on the
-.
Francisco on a business trip four
years ago, but being out of practise
could not be persuaded to take part
in any of the competitions.
In 1899 George Wright, who is known
to baseball fans as one of the fathers
of the national game, brought his son,
Holcombe Ward, D. F. Davis and M.
D. Whitman to the Coast. George
Whitney was then the singles cham
pion of the Pacific Slope and Sam and
Sumner Hardy holders of the doubles
title. Whitman was the United States
singles champion. Davis ranked sec
and and Wright and Ward eighth and
ninth respectively. Ward was doubles
champion with Dwight Davis.
Whitman and Wright in the doubles
tournament defeated both the Whitney
brothers and Ward and Davis. They
crossed rackets with the Hardys in the
championship match and were defeat
ed in straight sets.
Sumner Hardy was the only Coast
player to score a victory against any
of the Fasteners. He took into camp
both Wright and Ward and was con-
quered by Whitman only after the
closest kind of a match. The follow
ing year Hardy retired from active
tournament play.

FIRST HALF.

Andrews started the season. The
ball was kept in motion constantly,
first one side and then the other hav-
ing it in their territory. The Kane
hameha had the north end in this half.
The ball was taken rapidly over the
Highs ground and came dangerously
near the KAN goal on kick by Mac
kenzie. Pail, of the Highs, rose to
the occasion and kept the ball away.
It touched Andrews who, from nearly
the middle of the field, gave the ball
kick which landed it but a few feet
from the goal.
Time was taken out for slight ac-
cident which happened to H. Chilling
worth, one of the heavy Kamehamehas
ramming his head in the pit of Chill
lingworth's stomach. He recovered
and did good work for his team.
Andrews for second time got the
ball few feet from the High goal.
Had not Kekuewa of the Kams been
so active and quick, the Highs would
have scored.
Kamehameha rushed the ball and
succeeded in making goal. The Highs
yelled "off sides,'' but their protest
was overruled.
This half was marked by the in
dividual work of Andrews and Turner
of the Highs, and Mackenzie and Ka-
maiopili of the Rams.
SECOND HALF.
After an intermission of five minutes
the teams were again on the field
Dressed in new black pants hanked
on the legs with satin orange ribbon
and in natty serge shirts with a dain-
ty High School monogram on them,
the High School eleven certainly pre-
scented neat appearance. The Kams,
however, proved to their entire salts
faction that a uniform is not absolute
ly essential in winning a game.
The second half was almost a repeti-
ton of the first. High School got the
ball near the goal a number of times,
but failed to score.
1t was in this half that rKameha-
| meha did pretty work, punting the ball
from man to man, entirely on the
heads of the players. A pretty kick
by Lota ended the game, the score
standing 2-0 in favor of the Kams.@
THE SUMMARY.
Kamehameha: Mackenzie, Smythe.
Murray. Kamaiopili, Akana, Puaoi,
Kalimapehu, Kahanamoku, Bal, ,Lota,
Kekuewa.
High school: Andrews, s. White,
Dwight, Rice, Marcallino, Turner, H.
Chillingworth, Davis. Gilliland, s..
Wight. Pail.
Referee: L. G. Blackman.
The next game in the interscholastic
series will be played on Monday at the
Punahou grounds, between Kameha-
meha and Punahou at half past three.
The Hams will have slight advan-
tage over the Puns owing to the prac-
tise received in yesterdays game.

Game Develops Into Slug
fest After Fifth
Session.
How They Stand

Western hadn't a pitcher yesterday u
s, nd IN 10 ward of CentraTs sluggers,
and lost out by 13 TO 4.
Seventeen hits were tailed of Hodg-
sons delivery, and most of them came
ia punches. The first fest developed 10
the fifth when a succession OF singles
melted she . street team five runs. 1T
the seventh three more were added ana
the last straw came in the eighth when
four men crossed the plate by cOmbi-
nation of hits and errors, IN a life-like
imitation Of the Nationals at their best.
Western found TagEart for six hits,
but these were well scattered except IN
the third session. when Western made
two OF its four runs. Tagart was wild
at times and q pass figured in the run
made IN the third. Rheem raised his
average, by tapping out two clean
singles and a home run. Menefee and
Rheem each tailed three hits. The
work Of the former as CeutraPs catch
CT, was particularly classy.
Its victory yesterday placed Central
on a par with Technical in tbs fight
for high school honors, each having
won two and lost none.

a yarn cot out since the only telegram
he has sent Mcfarland was one asking
him whether the Papke-Ketchel bout
was carded for the same week as his
tilt with Packey. He IS highly incensed
over the story
The Battler goes further. and states
that he never was mixed up in crook

That game Washington lost here TO

enough to I'LL a couple OF wards with
baseball fanatics II had more queer
angles than the mind Of q sweet girl
graduate, and just about as easily ex-
planned.
In the first place, Washington made
thirteen hits. and St Louis fifteen by
the count OF the official scorer. who
happens to be Us at present. a total Of
twenty-eight bingles and only two OF
these were for extra bases-a triple by
Ganley and a double by Milan, both in
the first inning. Twenty-six singles in
a single game is real fan fodder.

ollie Pickering was the happiest man
in town last night. He and Jimmy Nc
Aleer did not gee well together In ST.
Louis, and, in addition, Pickering has
resented the constant statements that
CantillOn was stung Ia trading Charley
Jones for him. chickering's error IN the
ninth inning may have been eXcusable,
and he had il on Jones at the bat
Jones famed three times. once with
man on second and once with a man on
first. He made a scratch hit, through
Mcbride. and was forced Immediately
thereafter. Pickering's drive to Williams
in the first inning was so hot Williams
could not throw TO the plate. Ganley
scored and Pickering was out at first.
In the fifth, with two out, Pickering s
timely tap scored Milan. Therefore
Pickering, on the whole was a most
useful person with the willow, while
Jones was q sad failure.
