Il. a. OayS, owner OF Sunrise, is
anxious to accept Ben Hollinger s chal-
lenge and race his horse against Leah
Girl at any time, next Saturday pre-
ferred. Mr.. Gays would like to hear
from Mr.. Hollinger by Monday if pos
! slble, so that he can make all arrange
ments. AS to the distance, he states
that quarter or three-eighths will
suit him equally well. The weight
suggested by Mr.. Gays is 100 pounds
for the shorter distance and los pounds
for the three-eighths distance We
hope to see this match arranged. as it
would be very pretty sporting event
and would settle various disputes
around town as to which of the two
nags is the faster Mr.. Gays is willing
to wager any amount from one hundred
dollars up.
The Saints were out for practise yes
terday and there was some real live
work going on. Barney Joy has not
properly recovered from the effect of
that home run of his last Sunday. He
stood at the bat for some time and
swatted easy balls down towards the
center field fence. Then Barney
dropped the bat and began to run
around the field. When he was asked
what he was doing, he said, g Now
this, of course, is not for publication,
but | have figured out the spot where
| am going to place the ball for an
other home-run next Sunday, and, sayi
m going to run around the diamond
twice, just to show [ can do it. -
Whereupon he took up another notch
in his belt and ran faithfully on to
the home base.

fine bunch of little sportsmen. When
trouble has arisen they have taken
things quietly and waited for their cap
tain s word Umpire Albright drew at
tention to this after the unpleasant
ness caused by the bieachers last Sun
day, and further proof is shown in
the letter which the captain and man

trustees on receipt of a copy of the
minutes of the meeting in which the
Diamond Heads were asked to play
them again.
