Fine business. The Fort Shafter

Kapiolani Park this afternoon at 2

and consented to play at Kapiolani.

to the New York Sun, says: "You we

Nobody is excluded in this def, and
the Punchbowl heavyweight would be

IN AFTERNOON

There viii be baseball on the AaIa
Park diamond as usual this afternoon,
but it viii not be by the teams of
the Senior Riverside League, as the
junior teams under that same name
will play in the place of their elder
brothers. In the first scrap, the AaIa
A. G. VIII face the Perfume Kids. and
the second game will be between the
Chinese Alohas and the Asahis.
The first game will start promptly
at 1:30 p. m. 1t is hard to say who
will carry the laurels in this game. al

If the Chinese Aloha Juniors beat
the Banzais, there will be a hot time

John Akana of the Chinese Aloha Club
has assured the boys that they will
receive a good treat should they de-
feat the japanese team. For this rea-
son, Peter Louis, the southpaw of the
Chinese team, has been going under
some fine practises and also the rest
of this aggregation, who are anxious
to have taste of Akana s hospital

COUNTRY CLUB
MAY BUY LAND

The Oahu Country Club is in excellent
condition financially and artistically
and may soon be in much better condi-
ton geographically as it is very prob
able that the club will purchase part
of the Rookie estate which lies mauka
of the present links.
After much winding and cutting of
British red tape an option covering a
period of five years was obtained from
the present owner. This option now has
two years to run and the price named
is $4,000, which is apparently reason
able enough as there are two other par
ties who are willing to purchase at
that figure, roughly $4,000.
This was part of a statement present
ed to the general meeting of the club
last Thursday night. The matter was
not acted on definitely at the meeting
but viii probably be settled in the near
future as the members expressed them
selves as DESTROYS of acquiring the new
property.
The treasurer's report showed that
the club stands very well financially.
There is a membership of 292 and new
members are coming in all the time.
The house committee reported that $500
had been expended on the clubhouse
during the last year and that the money
had gone a long way in improvements.
The green 5 committee presented
report showing the links to be in fine
shape with improvements going on con-
tinually. Everything shows that the
club is very prosperous and the mem
bers at the meeting were greatly pleas
ed with the showing made by the va.
rious committees.
The following officers were elected
to serve during the coming year. George
R. Carter, president; w. F. Dillingham;,
vice president, E. A. Mott-Smish, Sec
ond vice president; J. o. Young, treas
urer; H. C. Carter, secretary; s. Beard
more, auditor; F. c. Smith, F. Waldron,
H. H. Walker and J. C. Evans, directors.
The directors will meet soon, prob
ably tomorrow afternoon, to name the
greens and house committees.

ROTH AND COOKE
TO DEFENDsTITLE

Win Roth and Clarence Cooke, who
have held the doubles tennis champion
ship title for two years, viii defend
that same title against Sonny Cunha
and W. L. Warren next Thursday af-
ternoon on the Pacific courts.
The present holders realize that they
are up against hard combination and
have been practising assiduousiy. Both
of them are in excellent form and the
match next Thursday may be looked
forward to as repetition of the great
Cunha- WaTren-CastleCo Cooke exhibition
of last Thursday when two sets lasted
an hour and twenty minutes.

THE AL|IOLAN|S
WIN ONCE MORE
College Lads Win Second Game
and Make Hospitable
Invitation.

The Aliiolani boys were out in full
uniform yesterday afternoon and, in a
return practise game with the Rapid
Transit soccer players, they again prov
ed the winners by 2 goals to O.
The Venus kids kicked off and sent
the ball well into college territory but
Ben was there with his long roofing
and the pillule was soon bobbing in
front of the electric goal. The kids
forced the bigger players so hard that
they had to protect themselves with a
safety and a corner kick resulted.
Ben took the kick and placed neatly
in front of Broderick who sent through
for the first goal just five minutes after
the whistle sounded for play to begin.
In the second half of play the Rapid
Transits threatened several times but
always unsuccessfully. Most Of the time
the college forwards were waging a duet
with the opposing backs and the lads
succeeded in scoring once again. This
time it was En- Pui who did the trick
and he sent the ball scooting low and
fast between the goals.
Broderick played an exceptionally
fine game for the eollegians and showed
that he is a really clever back. Paul
Hoapii, a junior, filed vacancy on
the team and made good. He is dimi-
nutive youngster but very quick and
active and it looks as though he would
stay ripht there

START SOON
High School and 7unahOu Teams
Will Meet Next Friday
anu Saturday.

1t is only a few days now till the
first of the big football games between
the High School and Oahu College. Next
Friday the second elevens will play and
the following day the first teams will
line up against each other.
Both institutions naturally are look
ing forward to the opening of the series
and those out for gridiron honors are
working with might and main so as to
be sure of their positions. Both schools
will have plenty of material to pick
from and there will be no trouble about
getting twenty-five men for the first and
second teams in both instances.
The High School has an exception
ally large squad out for practise and
could raise three pretty good teams if
necessary. Yesterday afternoon the
High schoolites went out to KapioIani
park to have some secret practise, but
failed in their obpect, as they found
the grounds not entirely empty and so
took no chances of giving away their
trick plays.
Instead of signal and trick practise
the second team lined up against the
school eleven and surprised the bigger
boys by holding them down. There was
plenty of hard scrimmaging and line
bucking and both coach Blanchard and
Captain Rice felt satisfied with the
showing made by the players. Special
attention has been paid to interference
and the boys are very liable to surprise
the spectators with their proficiency in
this important branch of the game next
Saturday.
The High School has a great acqui-
sition in Johnnie McCandIess who has
come there from the Kamehameha
school. He is well known here as star
athlete and is very strong and speedy.
He will play left half to Bill Rice S
right and there will be something do
ing when signals call him for an end
run.
Two fast youngsters are trying for
quarter on the first team. These are
Marcallino and Don King. It is i'm
possible to say who viii be selected but,
as the position is such an important
one, they may be alternated. Elisha
Andrews is still there with that long
distance boot of his. Kick the ball in
Honolulu and catch it in Los Angeles is
what it looks like when he gets busy.
Henry Chillingworth is working con-
at right guard and this
younger brother of athletes looks in
very fine condition. So far as that is
concerned all the boys do and there |
win be only strong muscles and lasting
winds to meet the onslaught of their
rivals from Punahou.
A feature of Fridays game is that
it win be the first real game to be play
ed on the new Alexander field. Here
is, indeed, an ideal place for an exhibit
ton of the great game and, with the
cool winds sweeping down Manoa val
ley, we shall be able to shut our eyes
and almost believe that we are back
again where the autumns are golden and
the winters white.

College Hospitality.

The AIiiolani boys are not only en-
thusiastic sportsmen but they are show
ing their readiness to boost the game
in a very practical and hospitable
manner. Here is the way they do it.
Soccer is practised every afternoon on
the Aliiolani college grounds from $3.50
to $3.50. Tuesdays and Thursdays are
reserved for practise matches. Mem.
bers of the Y NJ. c. A. and all other
players who can find time to come out
can get a game any afternoon and
ball for roofing can be had at any time.
All soccer men, please remember the
same and also that there are dressing
rooms and shower baths on the
grounds. y
What does that read like? 1t reads
like a bunch of the best little boosters
that ever put on football shoes and
took up a game to make success Of it.
officers Elected.
The college soccerites held meeting
last Thursday night and it was decided
to enter, if possible, both the senior
and junior scholastic leagues as the
prospects for the coming season are
very promising. The increased number
of students give more material to choose
from and encourages the hope of sue
cessful season.
The following officers were elected.
VIII Carter, captain and coach of the
first eleven and f. Kalua captain OF the
junior team.
1t was stated at the meeting that,
on account of important business, DIR.
Hand would be unable to give his First
Aid lecture on Thursday evenings in
future but would change the date to
Tuesdays.
The first aid business has no reference
to soccer, be it understood. That is
left to the intercollegiate players, but
most of the soccer players are also IN
terested in Dr. Hand s very useful
series of explanations on what to do
when the other fellow gets hurt.
The college seniors showed their su'
periority over the juniors by beating
them goals to 1 in game last Thurs
day afternoon. The youngsters felt that
they did well to score on their big OPP
ponents and viii play all the harder
in future for their good showing.
