ALL READY
FOR VISITORS
Honolulu Cricket Club Will Put
Strong Team in the
Field.

The local cricketers are keenly await
ing the arrival Of the S. S. Aorangf
which is due TO make port this morn
ing. Captain Phillips cabled the local
club for a game from Suva and It is
believed that some or all OF the Mary
lebone cricketers who have Just con-
cluded a tour OF Astralia are aboard
If the steamer arrives as early as is
expected the game viii start at noon
at Maklk and stumps will probably
be drawn at p. m. Refreshments viii
be served on the ground during the
Afternoon.
The game will mark the opening of
the local cricket season. 1t is true that
there was net practise last Saturday
but the season proper viii begin with
today's game.
The following team his been select
ed to represent the H. c. c.:
r. Anderson, w. l. Stanley. r J.
Buchly, w. Brown. L. G. Blackmsn.
r. r. Cation, j. II. F1ddes. E. Grant.
~. r. NJ. Mclean, ]. c. McGili, c. p.
Morse.
The eleven on the whole is a good
one though il would have been consid-
erably strengthened had Stanley Beard
more been able TO play.
The last time team from the 8. s.
Aorangi played here they were badly
beaten. II may be that Captain Phil
lips has a surprise in store for the
local players even though the English
chicketers are not aboard.

BELLINA WOULD
HAVE RACING

7 am heartily in favor Of days
racing in Honolulu during the visit Of
the feet" said Charlie Bellina yester-
day.
IF we give satisfactory purses We
can get the HiIo and Maui horses, ana
these, with the runners on this Island
could furnish as good races as have
ever been seen here.
Il don't think that there would De
any difficulty in raising a prize fund
big enough to attract the owners from
the other islands. The people seem TO
want horse-racing here, and better
days sport for the feet could not be
devised" .is -.

JONES HANDS HOT
ONE TO JOHNSON

Fielder Jones of the Chicago team is
one OF the most natter f-fact men in
baseball, and he doesn't care much
What he says or to whom he saws il
Though Jones is worth considera bic
money, he is the plainest dressed man
in the game, and TO see him on the
street in his civilian togs one would
stop him for rustic storekeeper in
town for the purpose of buying sun
plies. Nevertheless. Jones is there with
the gray matter and the knowledge of
its uses.
But his independence and his plain
speaking are the traits which cause his
players to regard him with a certain
sort of awe. for Fielder Jones is ANY,
thing but a respecter of persons.
Orc DAY last fall. when the season
was drawing to close, Fielder Jones
and Ban Johnson We're having a talk
out at the Chicago grounds. and in the
conversation the captain-manager of
the White SoX handed the burly presi-
dent of the American league cigar.
and after Ban had drawn on it for
while Jones asked:
How do you like that cigar. Mr..
johnson ?"
oh" replied Ban. who is short and
abrupt in his manner of speaking. Il
have smoked worse cigars than this.
Fielder
You have" shot back Jones, ''if you
smoked any of the kind that you have
passed over to yours truly.
And then, as the Chicago players
slyly staggered, Johnson walked over
TO the grand stand and took seat.

THIS BUSHER Is
ONE GREAT GUNNER

Chicago Sept 26.-Some startling tales
are creeping eastward regarding the per-
Torrance OF Ralph Rapidfire the latest
pitching phenomenon just Unearthed in
Coldstream, AriZ. AS the leading twirler
of the local club. his record to date has
been such that major league clubs far
east as Chicago have already notified
their scouts TO hurry to GoldStream TO
size Rapidfire up. He is credited with
the most unusual form of wind-up ever
seer among professional gaseball pitchers.
It is said by those who have seen him
pitch that his style closely resembles the
action of hammer-thrower just before
hurting the weights. He uses from two
to three complete turns before delivering
the ball and can shoot the sphere either
underhand or overland. Rapidfire relies
almost entirely on speed, seldom using
curve delivery. Despite the sameness of
his delivery he has been most success
full in his first season with minor league
club In the nine games he has pitched
to date, every one has been victory for
his own team. and six have been shutouts.
new record no-hit game is claimed for
Rapidfire by his admirers In recent
contest he shut out the opposing team
without hit or without a player reach
ing first base. Only twenty-six batters
faced him in nine innings. This oddly
in baseball is accounted for by the fact
that one batter became so excited By
Rapidfire's eccentric action in the box
that he struck twice at each bail dellv-
cred thus constituting two outs.

WILLIAM LARNED
TENNIS WONDER
In Spite of Years He Is Still
National Champion-Four-
Time Winner.

At the age of 40 William Aymar Lar
ned showed that he is the most wonder
full tennis player in the country by win
ming the national title for the fourth
time in the recent tournament in New
port.
Larned won his first title in 1901. when
he defeated Beals Wright in the finals
and took the championship by the de-
fault of Malcolm Whitman. He success
fully defended his honors year later,
when he won from Reginald Doherty OF
the English cup team. but lost in 1909
to Hugh Doherty. Last year he came
10 his own by outclassing William Clo-
thier. the skillful Philadelphia player.
By his achievement Larned equaled the
record of Bob Wrenn as a four-time
champion, which is only surpassed by
that of Richard D. Sears. who held the
title from 1881 TO 1887, inclusive.
In the recent tournament Larned de-
feated Bearls c. Wright, a former cham
pion. who was the challenger, in straight
sets. The result shows that his hard
hitting and sure game stand supreme.
Larned did his work gracefully and cas-
lily. He constantly laid traps for Wright.
and his opponent went into them.
Seldom has Larned been on his game
he was in the challenge match. From
the opening service. which was Wrights.
through the first two sets, Larned was
at all times successful in protecting his
court. His drives winged TO the side
lines and his deep driving. splendidly
sustained, held the challenger back from
the net. Wright was baffled. for Larned
handled his chop strokes and twisting
service perfectly.

ADVISE USE OF
Open FOOTBALL
Leading Football Coaches
Seem to Favor That
Style of Play.

New York, Sept. 26.-Some of the most
enthusiastic opponents of the open
game will lead the forces of the Big
Four in football tins season, and the
forward pass and other gestures that
have made gridiron contests of the last
two years more spectacular should be seen
at their best.
A trial of the new game for two sea
sons has resulted in its firm establish
ment. and a better knowledge of execu-
ton among the players in every position.
The few changes made in the rules since
play ended in 1907 will tend to make the
play run smoother. Nothing radical has
been done by the committee.
The captains of Princeton. Harvard.
Pennsylvania and Cornell are well known
men whose ability to play and to lead the
forces of their respective Institutions Is
almost sure to give them greater fame in
the contests that begin in earnest the first
week in October Yale's new leader is a
sterling player, but not so well known, be-
cause injuries prevented him from playing
in any of the big games last year. The
new captains are: Yale, r. b. Burch, end !;
Princeton, Z. A. Dillon. quarterback: Har-
ward, Burr; Pennsylvania, f. II. Hollen-
bach; fullback, and Cornell, George Wal
ders, fullback.
Eddie" Dillon of Princeton was the All
American quarterback for 1906 and re-
ceived some votes for the honor won last
year by Tad Jones of Yale. Burr, the
new Harvard leader, has been one of the
mainstays In the Crimson line for several
years. He is big, quiet. consistent play
er, who has coupled with his splendid line
work much valuable punting for his team.
Hollenbach, the Princeton leader, is one
of the best line breakers in the country
and at the same time fast man in the
open. His stiffness is of special value
in the game as it is played today. Wal
ders of Cornell is very much like III N in
action and has been the man to swing
the heavy attack of the Ithacan eleven
for many years.
Burch of Yale on end. is nkely to open
the eyes of the critics. He Is a very YER
satile player and may yield his position
to somebody else before the season is
over and jump into another place to in
sure the balance. which is one of the
main assets of the bulldog team year after
