Standing of the Soccer League:
By Jack Densham.

Yes, thank you, everything came out
the way l said it would, and you may
forgive me for growing about it a
trifie. The Punahous gave a magnif-
cent exhibition Of soccer and ought to
have beaten the Males, if only, yea,
if only, Jock Cation had shot two
inches to the right AS it was, they
tied with the magnifcently-mus
ones and produced game that was
worth walking twenty miles to see.
Also the Diamond Heads put it all
over the Young Men and put the fin
ishing touch on the soccer situation.
Just why more people don't 60 out
to watch the games gets me. Yester-
day afternoon there were two exhibit
tions of the game that were every bit
as fast and as scientific as one could
see anywhere, not excepting the Crys-
tai Palace finals. Being more or less
of a malihini | realize something that
the public here won't wake uD to
that the soccer played here is OF
class that is probably seen nowhere
outside of England and professional
teams.
Although the attendance was Woe
fully small. there was something on
the field yesterday afternoon that mas
been lacking heretofore. 1t was en-
thusiasm and plenty of noise. during
the first game there was much Malle
roofing in a small way. l thought
that was not quite fair, so did little
in the way of getting the Punahou
supporters going. and we soon had two
rival roofing squads going IN great
shape. During the second game the
NaiIe and Punahou PLAYERS all turn
ed out to root for the Diamond Heaos,
40 II was to the interest of both OF
them that the Young Men should lose:
And maybe. there wasn't some good
yelling. Kellett acted the human
nbonograph and led the yells while a
crowd of at least thirty leather-lung-
ed noise-makers surged round him and
cheered each player by name as soon
as he did ANYTHING that could be con-
strued as fine piece of playing.
II was. in fact, a different crowd
that watched the games from that
which 5 generally seen there. Every,
bodv was smiling and cheering, and
KeT. it's clever verbal pyrotechnIes
VIE received with genuine laughter
md aDpreeiation. Players and spec
tators alike were KEYED up to the high,
est MITCH. and healthy excitement ana
p,erriment combined to make the al
ternoon whole hearted good time Tor
everybody concerned.
Two Penalty Goals.
The feature of the game was pro-
xided bv a remarkable coincidence III

not showed a player out or the way
with his hands when the Diamond
