CHOOSE YOUR
PRIZES EARLY

The good athletes who ran in the
Marathon race have prizes coming to
them. AS already stated, they will
take prizes by choice. Those who
came in first have the first choice, nat
urally, and the other arrivals down the
line will take their pick of prizes in
turn.
Each man who is entitled to a prize
is particularly requested by the com
mittee to help them out by making his
choice as early as possible.
Choices are to be made at Wall
Nichols store to A. K. Vierra. If
possible, all those entitled to a prize
should get to the store during the noon
hour today, so that all may make their
choice in turn. As each man makes
his choice he will receive an order for
the prize he has chosen Please do
your best to help out by getting in
early and assisting the committee in
this matter.
The following is the list of prizes
and the names of those entitled to a

cess that last Sundays race will look
like the original thirty cents.
1t is not only those who ran last
Sunday who are anxious to compete
There are several others who wish to
come in and try their speed over the
long distance. A runner by the name
of Albert Marco comes in with a
sweeping challenge to Nigel Jackson
or any other runner to race him over
the Marathon distance. He is backed
by many friends, who believe that he
can do the trick, and will have a large
following.
Dali Fahy Is Sure.
Dial Fahy is certain that he can
beat Jackson He has one hundred
dollars to wager on his chances in the
race, and states that, had his leg not
given way, he would have caught up
with the winner last Sunday.
Another keen one is Paddy Walsh,
who is very anxious to have another
90 over the distance. He feels sure
that he can get in such shape that his
legs will not go back on him, and
wishes to show that his really wonder
, full performance of last Sunday can
be continued as far as the Marathon
limit.

came in second. will enter the race

.ASAHlS DEFEAT
SUGAR BOILERS

There was no baseball in town on
Sunday but the Asahis travelled out to
the Honolulu plantation country and
handed it to the Aieas by Z to 6 in
an eleven inning game.
At the end Of the fifth inning the
Asahi kids were five to the good and it
looked like syrup taken from the sugar
boilers. But the latter did the buck
up act in the sixth and hammered out
three. They followed with two in the
seventh and one in the eighth but were
tied by the visitors in the latter inning.
1t took three more innings before the
game was won and then the Asahis
scored one run with three bingles. 1t
was a good fast game all the way
through. The ground is a new one and
the visitors found it hard to play on a
diamond with the pitchers box way
below the level of third base and home
plate, but they soon got used to this
and feel naturally proud of their vic
tory.

There was only one subject of talk
round town yesterday, and that was
the Marathon race. So keen is the in
terest being taken in this form of ath-
letics and SO many challenges have
been made to the winner, that it has
been decided to hold real Marathon
race at the league ball park on
April is.
Negotiations are already under way
with the league trustees and there
seems to be nothing in the way of OBJ
tanning the use of the grounds for the
purpose. The idea is to rope off cir
cular track on the grounds, which
would be approximately three laps to
the mile and measure off the exact
Marathon distance, which is twenty
six miles and three hundred and
eightyfive yards.
This will give a chance to find out
the exact status of long distance ath-
letics in Honolulu. Many people think
that we have material here that can
compare well with the champions such
as Hayes, Shrubb and Longboat, and
this will be an opportunity to find out
for certain.
Marathon Craze Here
Sundays big event has augmented
the present Marathon craze to such an
extent that many of the contestants
and their friends visited this office and
literally demanded another race, so
that they would have an opportunity
4n hot fhoip
had taught them how they could beat
anybody else on the Islands.
They will have that chance There
has been no time in which to settle
the details but the following has been
decided The race will take place at
the league ball park, if possible, on
Sunday, April IS. Three splendid cups
| will be put up for prizes. The one for
first prize will cost not less than a
| hundred dollars. and it is possible that
more than twice that amount may be
spent on it if conditions accord with
a tentative offer that has been made
An entrance fee of not more than
one dollar will be exacted from every
| contestant in the race, and admission
to the grounds will be charged
The most perfect arrangements fol
| the comfort of contestants will be
made, and the experience of the many
| promoters Of Marathon races on the
mainland viii be used in running the
! event smoothly in every way.
/ Each contestant will have a station
at the side of the track, where his
| trainers and rubbers may wait to give
him refreshment or rub him down. The
| dressing-rooms will be arranged so that
each runner has separate place tc
| himself. Rubbing tables and lounges
will be provided, and there will be
| everything to aid the aspiring athlete
in his arduous task of running the long
| distance.
| Distance Telegraphs.
At each station there will be score
telegraph bearing the number of the
| contestant it represents, and as the
runner completes a lap, the number Of
laps he has covered will be posted OF
the board so that the spectators ear
see at a glance how far any runner i:
