FIRST TEAMS
TO PLAY TODAY

This afternoon will witness the
first great struggle between the first
elevens of the High School and Oahu
College on Alexander field. The match
yesterday was merely curtainraiser
for this event-in fact, much of a
trial game to pick uncertainties for
the first teams.
If the big boys put up as good a
game as did their Juniors yesterday
afternoon, we shall be treated to
splendid exhibition of football. The
older boys have the game down to
finer point than the second-teamers,
and will be able to attempt and bring
off new and trick plays that will add
to the openness Of the game and the
general excitement of it.
A forecast of the result is impos-
sible. The college team is a trife the
heavier, just three pounds per man
average. This is not large amount,
the Punahou weight is
trife more evenly distributed than it
is in the High School team.
Both teams have been working their
hardest to get fit and ready for the
first game of the series, and we may
be sure of Icing a hardfought battle.
There is plenty of room for everybody
to watch the game. Although there
we're many hundreds ont there yester-
day, they were only able to make
few dots on the banks and field Al
axander field can accommodate twenty
thousand people easily enough, and
nobody need be afraid that there viii
not be plenty of room for him and

The whistle win blow at $3.50 for
he game to begin, and they will
probably play longer than the second

GOOD TIMES AT
COUNTRY CLUB

Two appropriate names have been
selected for the teams that will play
against each other in the big pickup
tournament at the Country Club this
afternoon. Thos. Gill will captain the
Republicans while H. B. Giffard will
have charge of the Democrats. The
question is, "Is Mr.. Gill a Repub.
lican9" Many seem to incline to the
view that he is a Seotchman.
But that is only one instance. What
about seeing the name of Judge Maha-
ulu on the list as a Democrat. Is it
possible that the Republican party has
passed a veto on golf knickerboekers
and for that reason the genial judge
has gone over to the other party? II
may be possible, but it is hardly like
", for is it not fact that the grace

legs held the crowds in admiration dur
ing his spell-binding trip with Prince
Cupid.
The tournament will start as soon
after one o. clock as the players get
ready. Anybody who is not already
entered may do so by applying to
either of the team captains on the
grounds. Political convictions are not
a necessary adjunct. All one needs is
the ability to swing a club and not
make more than ninety-eight per cent.
of foozles.
After the tournament, which the
Democrats confidently assert they will
win, there will be a chowder at the
clubhouse. After the bilge-filling proc
ess there will be a smoker and there
is a whisper that one candy" Mac
laren is to be initiated into the order
of the Golden Goat. Inquiry round
town yesterday afternoon, however,
failed to bring any confirmation and
so this is published merely as a rumor.
The following is the list of those
who have already been drawn. The
committee in charge wishes it thorough

sonal invitation or not:

The Boy Orator, B. H. KelekOlio, who
is a baseball magnate also, is reported
to be leaving for Hilo next week. If
he goes, he expects to remain there
permanently, as Bernard is said to have
been offered a nice job in that Rainy
City.
With Scorer Mariposa gone to Kauai
and Kelekolio off for Hilo, the several
junior leagues in town viii sadly miss
their presence, as both of them take
great deal of interest in local sports.
However, everyone will wish them good
luck in their new fields.
