SPORT ITEMS
FROM Y. NJ. c. A.

The Y. M. C. A. track team which
has charge of the Marathon to be run
on June II, held a meeting on Tues
day night.
1t was decided to start the training
runs next Wednesday, when the Sc
niors will turn out from the Y. M. c.
A. at p. m. The Juniors will prob
ably run on Tuesdays.
DR., Hand gave shore address on
training methods.
There will be a game of basketball
at the Y M. C. A. on Saturday night
between the Normal School and the
Pakanaus. The latter name means
tobacco chewers," and the team is
made up of High School boys past and
present. In a game played between
these two teams last week the Normals
were victorious.

SPECIAL TRAIN
NOW ASSURED

1t has been definitely decided that
there will be a special train run from
Honolulu to Haleiwa for the Marathon
race which takes place on March IA,
the round trip ticket costing $1.50.
The committee will charter a special
train and will sell tickets at the price
named, which will be at exactly cost to
them.
Tickets will be on sale soon and
should be purchased as early as posi-
BILE as the number is necessarily lin
tied.
The list of prizes is very small con-
sidering the distance of the race and it
is hoped that the local merchants will
come through with enough prizes for
one to be given to every man who
finishes the course.
Training is going on steadily a num-
Der of men being out on the road every
night. The present moonlight nights
are admirably suited for training pur-
poses and are being availed of by a
large number of intending contestants
