SPOR T S
BERETANIA COURTS
SEE FINE TENNIS

There was more excitement in the
match started yesterday for the finals
in tennis doubles than has been seen
on the local courts for some time
Sonny Cunha and Billy Warren were
pitted against AL Castle and Dick
Cooke, and after two long deuce sets,
in one of which each team came out
ahead, Umpire Bockus was forced to
call time on account of approaching
darkness. The match should have
gone to Warren and Cunha, when fast
tennis is considered, and they lost
through their own wildness at critical
moments. Castle and Cooke, on the
other hand, while failing to show the
same brilliancy which their opponents
did, played a much s,eadier game,
and did comparatively little driving
out of court.
Both Castle and Warren showed up
finely on their service, the latter pick
ing up towards the end of the first set
and driving out of court.
Both Castle and Warren showed up
finely on their service, the latter pick
! ing up towards the end of the first
set and driving in straight hard balls
which were impossible to return with
any great amount of accuracy.
Cunha did his work at the net and
made some of his old style drives
which were too much for any one to
stop. He was a little weak on lob
bling, but in this Warren was strong.
The latter also did some fine work in
| smashing lobs from the middle of the
court though when he needed the
points most he fell down a couple Of
times
Poor work was done on the outside
| by the linesmen, Foster Davis and
u. w. w. Brewster. On both sides
foot faults were continuous, Warren
and Cooke being the worst offenders in
this regard.
Cooke failed to play as strong a
game as he does on the Pacific courts,

tinually, bouncing high enough to
give his opponents a good chance at
| it. There were some beautiful raj
lies in which Cooke and Warren dis

him no time to got this Trendall
boy from st. Louis just where he want
ed his point and then slammed it with
his right and the Fastener dropped
off to sleep with thud After Welsh
looked his man over in the opening
selection and took an inventory of
what he had, the English champion
started to rough it and threw away his
cleverness and snapped them with his
man until he had him bleeding like
butchered sheep. Freddie put Tren-
dali down for the count in the third
after a very messy slugging bee. When
Trendall went to his corner in the
fifth, covered with gore, the end was
in sight and it did not take long for
it to arrive in the next, when the
Britisher started the rocky going. A
left swing to the victual case and a
snappy right cross did the trick and
the gang climbed on the cars.

tinguished themselves in particular
but each ended in the same manner.
Cunha would stand still at the net
while Warren handled everything in
the back court, till finally lob fell
short. There Sonny would land on it
in a manner which settled the point at
once.
In the first set it looked as though
Warren and Cunha would run away
with the match. They had their op-
ponents Az, when they began to drive
wild and lost the next two games.
Then the score seesawed, with each
winning his serve, till it stood &c,
Castle served and Warren began to
play real tennis. His work for the
next two games was clean and hard.
Fine placing with plenty of speed won
out on the first game and his own
pretty service assisted materially in
the next, ending the set Sc,
In the second set Castle and Cooke
ran the score up to So and it looked
all to the bad for their opponents,
Castle doing great work in his service.
At this point Warren and Cunha took
a brace the former winning his SER
vice easily and then taking that of
Castle. They brought things out fine
ly and had their opponents 10 when
Cunha, who seemed tired, made a poor
effort at service. Cooke got in good
work then, making several returns
which seemed impossible. Castle won
his service by hard driving balls which
were not handled at all. Then War
rem served. For the first time in the
match he fell down, losing love game
with a double fault on the deciding
point The score stood at 81 in favor
of Castle and Cooke.
Two more games were played in the
next set, each side taking one, when II
was decided that the match could not
be completed and it was called off.
Play will be recommended this after
noon at 4 o'clock at the Beertania
courts. One of the pleasant features
of the play yesterday was the large
attendance of spectators, many ladies
being among those who came to see
the match.

FIFTH CAVALRY
BRINGS SPORTS

The announcement that two squad
rons of the Fifth Cavalry will come
to this city has created the most in
tense interest among the local sport
ing fraternity. Polo is the game which
will come back into it's own and with
the arrival of the Fifth one may eX-
pect to find the Moanalua grounds a
scene of activity from one years end
to the next. The cavalry officers all
play the game and many of them are
experts, while this city can boast of
players who will give them as hard a
game as they desire.
Local interest in polo is something
hard to guage, for whenever the inter-
island matches are pulled off the local
society people are ready to attend in
great numbers ana see the fast clean

BRAZIL FAILS IN
COFFEE CORNER

NEW YORK, October 16.-After
having sustained a loss of $l5,00O,OO0,
Brazil has abandoned its attempt to
corner the worlds coffee market. For
two years the Government of Sac
Paulo, the chief state OF Brazil, has
been purchasing coffee from its plan
ters to keep up the price, and now,
having on its hands 100000 bags of
coffee, the valorization scheme, as the
attempted corner is called, is to be
renowned. According to advices re-
ceived today in New York, a loan OF
SIS 100000, which is necessary to take
care of the present huge accumulation
will soon be offered for public sub
scription.
This corner is regarded as one OF
the most interesting but foolhardy
financial experiments ever attempted.
Six years ago an enormous Brazilian
coffee crop sent prices down below the
cost of production and Sac Paulo i'm
posed prohibitive tax to prevent the
planting of new trees, but bumper
crops followed one another, and in
1905 the harvest returned 10000, 900
bags, a surplus over the entire worlds
requirements of 100000 bags.

work which is done by both. players
and ponies. With the bad defeat
which Honolulu received on Maui
early in the summer, interest in the
game here dropped, for it was plainly
shown that lack of practice was too
much for Oahu, when playing against
old timers like the Baldwins and the
other men on the Maui team.
When the cavalry squadrons come
here ahere will be a change, for the
addition of dozen or more good polo
players to the local contingent will
mean that the local players will get
out to practice oftener and will get into
first class shape. With the perfect
polo field at Moanalua, which cannot
be equalled for beauty anywhere in the
United States, there should be a great
squirt given the local game.

FIRST IN CABINET
FRANK H. HITCHCOCK HAS Ac.
cEPTED POSTMASTER GENER-
ALsHIP UNDER MR.. TAFT.
ANNOUNCEMENT UNOFFICIAL
Names of All Cabinet Members viii
be Given Out at Same Time
Mr.. Hitchcock Well Fitted
for New Duties.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 2S.--Frank
H. Hitchcock has been offered and has
accepted the position of postmaster
general in the Taft cabinet that is to
be.
The official announcement doubtless
will not be made until Mr.. Taft has
completed his cabinet. Because of
this no expression regarding the Sc
lection of Mr.. Hitchcock was obtain
able for publication from either Mr..
Taft or the Republican national chair
man. There were reasons, 1t was point
ed out, why 1t was expedient that Mr..
Hitchcock's status should be fixed. AS
chairman of the Republican national
committee, he became more familiar
than any other person with the po-
litical phase Of questions likely to
arise at the beginning Of the Taft
administration and the knowledge
gained regarding the personnel of the
party will be Of great service to Mr..
Taft.
Besides these reasons the national
chairman admittedly possesses COM
prehensive as we'll as a technical
knowledge of postal affairs, gained by
protracted experience as first as
sistant and acting postmaster general.
Mr.. Hitchcock, accompanied by
Charles H. Boynton of New York, left
here Friday night for Washington,
where Saturday night he will be the
guest of honor at dinner given by
the executive and advisory commit
tees of the national committee. He
then will visit headquarters in New
York.

state chairman, and Representative
Herbert Parsons, president of the New

ing at Washington has completed de-
signs by Postmaster General Meyer
for a new issue of United States post
age stamps. 1t is expected that ship
ments to postmasters will commence
some time in November. The new Is
sue has been designed with the OBJ
ject Of obtaining the greatest sim
plicity commensurate with artistic re-
suits. The profile has been taken in
each instance, giving bas-relief eff.
feet. All the stamps are of similar
design, containing head in an ellipse,
the only decoration being laurel leaves
on either side of the ellipse. The let
tering is in straight lines, at the top
being ~. S. Postage and at the bot
tom the words 1.-TWO Cents" The one
cent stamp contains the head Of Frank
lin, while all the others will bear that

most artistic ever issued by the gov
eminent.

BODIES OF 100 DEAD MINERS
HAVE BEEN FOUND.
BODIES CAN'T Be IDENTIFIED
Generally Believed That Most All OF
tho Victims Of Mariana Mine
Explosion Will Be Recovered
Today-care Of Women.

Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-The iron bucket
operated in the 500-foot shaft leading
to the Rachel and Agnes mines Of the
Pittsburg- Buffalo Coal company at
Mariana since last Saturday, when
terrific explosion wrecked the up
todate elevator and snuffed out the
lives of at least 100 miners, had car
ried to the surface, when darkness
fell last night the bruised, mangled
and burned remains of more than 100
victims Of the disaster.
The most reliable count of the
bodies recovered at that time was
ITO, two-thirds of which have been
identified. The general belief was
that not. many more would be found
and that by noon today nearly all
the victims would have been brought
10 the surface.
James e. Roderick. head of the
state department of mining, came to
Pittsburg last night and will return
10 Mariana tomorrow. When rescue
work is finished he will make an in
vestigation as to the cause OF the dis
aster and fix the responsibility there
for, II possible.
Foods Is Distributed.
The sale of intoxicants in Marian
ma has been prohibited by Coroner
Sipes. Food in plenty is being dis
trbuted. Mrs. David Jones, wife OF
the general manager of the plant,
with a party of friends, is administer
ing to the wants of the miners wives
and children. The company has sent
in several car loads OF provisions and
will provide for dependents of vic
tins until other plans are formed.
The coroner fears many OF q, the
bodies may never be identified.
The damage to the mines is not as
great as at first supposed.

tins. was the last of four brothers,
all of whom lost their lives in mine
