SOCkER SEASON
IS COMMENCED
First Games of Year Played
at Makiki Grounds
Yesterday.

The socker football season opened
grounds with two interesting games
played between the four teams of
the Hawaiian Association Football
League. The first game resulted in a
draw between the Diamond Heads and
the Punahous, neither side being able
to score. In the second contest, the
Males, who won the championship last
year, succeeded in winning out easily
by a score of to 1, though in the
first half their opponents, the Y. NJ.
C.. A, held them down to a Ill tie.
Better condition and team work, how
ever, made a difference in the second
half, assisted by weak goal work on
the Y NJ. C. A. part
The day was marred by an exhibit
ton made by ziegler, one of the Y.
M. c. A. men. In one of the .scrim-
images he was struck in the face by
H. Bailey of the Males. The blow
was a slight one and accidental ac-
cording to all who saw it, but the
other player resented the act and
wanted to fight He was pushed away
by his comrades, but returned a mo-
ment later and struck Bailey in the
face, causing the young mans nose TO
bleed. A crowd naturally assembled
and there was some little excitement,
but the other members of the Y. NJ.
C. A. would not stand for any further
trouble and hustled their man away.
Both men We're ruled off the field by
Umpire Waldron, but Bailey before
going used vile language which in it.
self should be enough to prevent hisI
playing any further games in the
league.
In the first game there We're occa-
sional spurts of fine play but the
standard set was hardly high. The
Punahous kept kicking at the umpire
all the time, when, as a matter of
fact, the Heads really were the ones
who should have had a chance to COM
plain. Before the end of the season
they will probably have learned to play
"a little less rough and to take their
medicine. For the Puns the cleanest
playing was done by S. Davis and Bob !
Cation, while for the Heads John and
Bob Clarke excelled.
In the second game Craik and F. |
Bailey played good ball for the win
pers. while Anderson and McGill, the
oldtime Male players, at back distin-
guished themselves, as usual. For the
Y. NJ G. A Oss did the cleanest work, |
centering the ball with great accuracy
and shooting well for goal. Blackman
played a fine game, and Mcconnell at
back also did very well.
