MEDAL FOR
BEST PLAYER
Enthusiast Kennedy Offers an
Involvement to Santa
Clara Nine.

+ That there will be some tail scrap
ping and scratching for the highest
average on the santa Clara baseball
team, when they play in the interna-
tional series next month. there is TO
doubt. This is due to information re-
ceived by the last steamer. that a
handsome gold medal will reward the
individual who puts Up the best game
while in the islands.
The generous donor is Mr. John A.
Kennedy, a man whose name is not
unfamiliar to the followers of anna
teur baseball affairs
Mr.. Kennedy, beside being the head
of one of San Franciseo's biggest BUSH
ness houses, is at present one of the
board of directors of the famous Olym-
pic Club. and is looked upon as the
most prominent sportsman in San
Francisco
An effort is to be made to get him
to join in the visit of the ball players
to Honolulu. but it is feared, owing to
business reasons, that he may be un-
able to attend.
In an interview a few weeks ago. in
regard to the triangular series to be
played here, he had this to say:
What do I think of it? Why, those
islanders down there are the greatest
people in the world for hospitality and
you boys must show your appreciation
by giving them a rare article of ball.
AS an incentive l will give a handsome
gold medal to the player making the
highest average"
This is certainly interesting to the
fans of Honolulu who can draw con-
illusions as to whether these boys will
play the game or not.

No FOOTBALL
FOR SAILORS
Fleet Men viii Wrestle and
Box, but Won't Row
Races.

The following letter relative 70 feet
sports was received by the chairman
of the sports committee yesterday:
Office of The Chief,
United States Atlantic Fleet
/ u. s. S. Connecticut, Flagship,
San Francisco, Cal, June 3, 1905
Sir: l. The Chief of Staff has hand
ed me your favor of May 22nd, 1908.
and in reply thereto L regret to have
to inform you that it will be impossi-
BILE for US to enter in all of the propos-
ed events.
?. It is impracticable for our athletic
teams to go ashore in the forenoon. We
can furnish two baseball teams to play
every afternoon, games to be on our
regular fleet schedule. provided the
grounds are available, but no admis-
sion is to be charged to see the sailors
play.
8. We would like to have one game
with the local professional team, any
afternoon that it is convenient for
them, if they care to play US.
4. We will enter men in the field
sports. Our boxing tournament was
finished April 25th, but our men will
box and wrestle with local champions
if prizes and weights can be arranged.
5. We cannot play football at Homo
lulu. We will gladly enter any events
not mentioned, if we have time be-
tween coaling the ships.
6. We would like to be excused from
boat racing as the men have been in
constant training for several months
and need a rest.
Z. Money prizes would probably be
preferable 20 cups or medals for in
divfdual prizes as the men accumu-
dated more medals than they can stow,
since our arrival on the West Coast.
Where a ship or a team wins a prize,
some trophy would, of course, be more
Inappropriate. It will be difficult to car
ry out any program successfully in
Honolulu as most of the men VIII de-
sire to go on liberty when they are not
coaling ship, and we dislike to order
them to take part in athletics.
s. Thanking you for your kindness
in doing so much for the men, and
hoping to be of assistance in arrang
! ing details when we arrive at Homo
lulu, l remain.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) D. A. WEAVER.

Officer. !!

ahe citizens of Los Angeles in recog-
milton of the dual victory of the bat
dleships boxers.
Tighe won a decision over Trainor,
the former champion, at the end of
six rounds. The betting was ) to 1
against him and his win was the big
gest kind of surprise. Trainor, who
belongs to the u. S. s. Vermont, had
held the fleet championship for a long
time and was considered invincible.
In the sixth round of his battle with
times
In san Francisco Tighe won from
Soldier CRUDE after six rounds of fast
lighting.
FRANK Rafferty, won his title by de-
feating Bud" FFredericks of the L. S.
S. Illinois, winning the decision after
six rounds, the limit of the go.
