ly and driving with full speed deep
into the court. Castle seemed to have
his opponent in difficulties. just at
this period of the match Castle broke
string in his racket and whatever
chance he might have had was gone
as the fact seemed to worry him right
up to the finish.
After the score was tied at two
games all, the fifth game was fought
out with desperation, each man appa-
rently realizing that it was crisis.
Castle repeatedly secured the advan-
tage but Gee would lob out of danger
and bring the score back to deuce until
Referee Bockus was in doubts as to
just what the score was.
Castle Misses Smash.
. Castle here missed an easy smash
that would have put him in the lead
and seemed to become exasperated
somewhat Then Gee finally took this
game and the next two. With the
score FIVE games to two against him
Gee was not to be denied and playing
point by driving a hard one at his
opponents 1eet WHO attempted 10 100
but was a trifle too strong and the ball
struck out several inches.
Castle Off His Game
In justice to Mr.. Castle it must be
said that he was off his game, his
usual strong service being conspicuous
by its absence and his attempts to
place the ball near the side lines re-
sulting in numerous errors. He was
also erratic at critical stages of the
game while his opponent was as steady
as clockwork. Castle would undoubted-
~ do better next time against Gee as
he is certainly classy player, but the
sort of game that the army man put
up today was well nigh invincible.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-12-25

the fans must take notice from this.
But telephone message to head
quarters last night, at about supper
time, was productive of q very good
promise. The weather clerks said
that they thought they could fix things
and that there would be fne weather
for the Malihini Christmas Tree, for
the soccer and particularly for the
baseball games. One said that he IL
nuts on baseball and would not see
the watertank let loose for anything.
This being the case and the weather
all to the fallalla, the fans may make
up their minds to sit and watch a great
struggle. This is the first time that
the major and minor leagues have got
together, and the result will be cri-
terion of what the players can do.
How it Started.
1t was some eighteen months ago
that the talk started about the juniors
having a try at the seniors. But there
was nothing doing. The juniors were
playing at Aala Park, where there was
no gate money, and the seniors could
not see how they could make expenses
by wiping the earth with bunch of
dubs, out at the Moiliili grounds.
This state of affairs lasted until the
Oahu league was started. Some OF the

GEE DEFEATS
CASTLE EASILY
Local Champion Is Never in
Danger in the Wall Cup
Play-0ff.

Edwin s. Gee of the U. S. pay de-
partment defeated A. L. Castle in the
challenge round for the Wall cup
trophy yesterday afternoon in straight
sets, the final score being 6-3, 81
and 6-3.
At no time was the cupholder in
danger and it was apparent to the spec
tators that he had the match well in
hand at all stages. Castle did not play
the driving game that brought him
through the early stages Of the tourna-
ment into the finals, but if he had
been at his best he could not have
hoped to defeat Gee in his present
form.
By winning today's match Mr.. Gee
has put the stamp of consistency on his
many winnings during the past year
and demonstrates, beyond any shadow
CT doubt, that he is far and away the
strongest player in singles ln the Is
lands today. However off in his play
he may be in practise and whatever
the rumors concerning his being out OF
condition may be before match, when
the tournament comes off he is lnvarla-
bly, there with both feet and generally
returned as the winner.
In addition to his laurels gained on
local courts, and the magnificent game
that he and viii Roth put up against
the American challenge team en- route
to Australia, he holds first in singles
and doubles in the Far East, including
China. Japan and the Philippine Is
lands.
Castle Starts Well.
Castle started off with rush, TAX
ing a love game on his opponent s
serve and the first two points on the
second game before Gee woke up. By
two brilliant passes down the side lines
Gee brought the score to thirty all and
finally the games to one all, after a
long struggle from deuce to vantage.
With the score four games to three,
the cupholder began to play invincible
tennis and ran out the last two games
of the first set, his opponent only secur-
ing one point in each game.
Second Half One Sided
The second period Of play was de-
cidedly one sided, Gee taking the lead
with the first game and holding 1t
throughout the set. The varsity man
was never within striking distance.
Time after time Castle would drive into
the far left hand corner and rush to
the net, only to be passed by a beau
tiful back hand drive down the side
line or a lob that would strike within
an inch of the back line. 1t was the
concensus of opinion that Castle used
poor Judgment in coming to the net
with such perseverance, as he was pass
ed on almost every occasion, in fact,
it is an extremely dangerous proceed
ing for any one to come to the net
ON Gee unless the point has been almost
killed before hand. In this set Castle
only succeeded in annexing one game
and seemed somewhat discouraged at
the brilliant game that his adversary
was playing.
Castle at His Best.
The Harvard man was at his best
in the third set and for a time it
seemed as if he really had a chance to
take the set. Gee quickly took the
first two games, but playing beautiful
