Ger season were played last Saturday
at the Makikl grounds between the /
four teams of tue IIaAaiian Associa.
ton Football League. That they were
good games, no one who saw them
and understands the game can deny,
Lut an exhibition of rowdyism. unwar.
ranted and decidedly childish. married
the whole day, from a craftsmanship
standpoint.
There were two games played, the
first being between the Diamond
Heads and the Pnnahous, and the sec.
ond between tho Males and the Y. NJ.
c. A. team. In the initial contest,
there were several splendid cxhibi.
tons of how the game of socker
should be played and also few Of
how 1t should not be played. The
teams would work well together for Il
time, then would fail miserably in
teamwork when a good opportunity to
score was given. 1t was hard.fought,
however, and, considering that 1t was
the FIRST real game of the season, not
withstanding the fact that the teams
have been in practice for month or
more, the contest was interesting all
the way through. Anyway, neither
team can have crouch because OF
losing, for there was no score.
1t was in the second game, between
the Males, last years champions, and
the Y. NJ. c. AS that the deplorable
feature of the day happened. After
q hard scrinmage, words arose be.
tween +. Bailey of the Males and
Ziegler of the Y. NJ. c. A. team. 1t is
said that Ziegler stood In a threaten
ing position, and, thinking that he
| was about to be struck, Bailey swung
| and caught Ziegler in the face. The
| point of difference between the two
men, 1t is said, was of slight conse.
Quence. and concerned themselves
| personally rather than the outcome of
the game, so the crowd quickly sep.
arated the two Returning n moment
later, Ziegler struck Bailey a nasty
blow, which brought the blood stream
ing from Bailey's nose. Other mem.
bcrs OF the Y. NJ. c. A. hailed their
| troublesome man away before any fur
ther disturbance could be created.
Umpire Waldron did the right thing
ind the only thing-whCn he ruled
both men out Of the game Then, to
make the exhibition more shameful,
nrOiane language was indu'. cd IN ny
the offending men as they were taken
eff the field. 1t Is claimed tEht 1icglcr
aid the most of this, an | "e"t"'n il is
that he was a chief offender in the
whole scrap. Nevertheless, tbs part
does not matter as beth men have
| shown that they are uCi of ii: st2b!l.
! ity of temper and have not sufficient
control of themselves To play in the
same class with the other boys, whose
! object Is TO promote tho sport. Eut
bring 1t down to a VrlgL| slugging
match. These are amarLUr teams. and
their records should be, above all
else, kept clean.
The game ended with the score I
