Interesting information about tarpon
fishing. Tee tarpon fishing season be-
gins at Fort Pierce in June and con-
tinues until September, reaching its
climax about August, although a small
tarpon was caught before my arrival
here. These big fell Tvs work up the
east Florida coast in schools and enter
the inlet to Indian River, where they
remain for weeks feeding on mullet, a
small fish, which constitutes their
3 favorite food.
i The regulation way of fishing for
tarpon here is to cruise about near the
'linlets in launch with one or more
small boats in tow until school of tar
pom is sighted. The beauties may be
seen darling in the shadows or rolling
iplayfully on the surface, where they
reflect the sunlight from their silver
bodies. Then the launch is anchored
and two men pull off in small boat.
One man handles the oars and the
other short, stiff tarpon road, with a
reel carrying 300 yards of line, and on
the end wire leader, single hook,
and live mullet. You may troll, cast,
or let the mullet swim about at random.
The tarpon strikes viciously, and when
the fisherman tightens the line and
fastens the hook, the fun begins which
lasts sometimes for hours, depending
on the size and strength of the fish.
Clever handling is required on the
part of both the rodman and the boat
man. More tarpon are lost than are
brought to gait The mad PUSHES and
leaps of the fish call for dexterous
maneuvering. A slap of the tarpon's
tail on the right angle, or the sudden
boatward rush Of the fish, followed by
a back.track run while the rodman is
reeling in, will snap the line line cob
web. A thumb-brake of leather on
the reel aids in preventing an over
running line. 1t sometimes happens
that the tarpou takes off almost all the
line at single run. In such case II
behooves the boatman topull after the
fleeing fish with might and main, SO
that the rodrnan may recover line or
even keep what he has on the spool.
II doesn't take much OF a tarpon to tow
"a small boat and two men. When at
last the fish is played out and brought
alongside the boatman sinks the gatf
into It's gills Usually tarpon, though s
apparently played out, win have q last

PUNAH0U FOOTBALL
TEAM ENTERTAINED

Harry Steiner and some of his friends
in the Outrigger Club were the hosts
at a very pleasant little entertainment
given to the Punahou football team,
last Friday, at Waikiki.
Five of the largest canoes on the
beach were unable to hold the whole
bunch and so the overflow eontented
themselves with surfboards. Then there
were some swimming races, in which
some of the heroes of the gridiron
showed that they were equally adept
| in, the water.
After plenty of fun in the water
there was ehowder of the real old kind.
When everybody had had enough to eat
some of the boys showed what they
could do in the entertaining line. Knutt
Peterson did few hula stunts and
Farmer Andersen handedsout line of
talk, initiating Hawaiian political
speeches. that was a pippin.

Dark Horse May Win.
While Dick Sullivan has clearly
demonstrated his superiority over most
of those entered in the race, there is
a good chance that he may lose his
position this year. There are several
new names on the list and both Chea-
than and Ayres have a right to beat
him if they get in the right kind of
condition.
There is even more interest being
displayed in the event than last year

is no doubt that Kalakaua avenue will

Beers WIN THE
CHAMPIONSHIP
Kalihis, 5; Palamas, o. /.

The indoor baseball championship
has gone to the Beers. They had a
hard time of it for FIVE innings at the
Palama gymnasium last night with the
Palama team, but Johnny Forster start
ed a batfest in the sixth and the Beers
did romp for four runs.
The big balloon ascension started
with a great triple by Forster. This
got the Palamas going sideways and,
before they knew what had happened
Johnny had scored and three more agile
Kalihis had romped over the home
plate.
One more run was scored in the
seventh but the Palamas held the vie
tors down in the eighth and ninth. It
was great game and there was a
large CROWD present to witness it.
This game concludes the Palama Ka-
lihi series but there will be more indoor
baseball. Next Thursday the Y. M. c..
A. and Palamas will hook up in a
friendly game and there may be an
other series arranged in the near future.
The winners take silver cup along
with the championship and the presen-
tation will be made in the near future.
This will be made quite function at
the Palama gymnasium.

day, December 12-elimination race
and the final race on the following
Sunday, December 10. There are al
ready four entries for the veteran Is
race and one for the heavyweight class
Entries for the open race closed last
night at nine o'clock, but entries for
the veterans and heavyweight races
win remain open for one more week.
The limit of age is sixty years and the
Limit of weight is 30 pounds.
The elimination race will start at
half past one next Sunday, from the
junction Of Kalakaua avenue and King
street and will finish opposite the Wal
Riki Inn.
Here is the list of entries:
Open race-William Timson, L. o,
Rosa, Sam Hop, Antoine Kaoo, Daniel

Feagler, w. McTighe, E. NJ. Cheatham,
A. F. Mullen, Dick Sullivan, Hang
Chack, G. B. Henderson, Dial Fahy,
Nigel Jackson, R. Kalbe, George L.
Walter.
Already entered in the veteran class
are S. II. Webb, last years champion /;
George Voris, A. Kalbe and James
Sheehan. Arthur McDuffie, who won
the heavyweight championship last
year, is the only entry in that class.
There are thirty-fve prizes offered
fer the races. These will be divided
up as follows: Three for the heavy
weight race, three for the veterans, six
for the elimination race and the balance
for the open race.
This will leave more prizes for the
open race than there are entries. If
tile entries in the veterans and heavy
weight races are sufficient to warrant
il, the extra three prizes will be given
IN those classes. This is presupposing
that all of the twenty who enter in
the elimination race qualify by making
the distance in the scheduled time of
nineteen minutes. Otherwise the prizes
that are left over after everybody has
chosen, will 60 to the first men in their
order of choice.
Champions All Compete.
All the last champions will compete
in the race. Dick Sullivan, who twice
defeated Ayres by a heartbreaking
sprint at the finish; Arthur McDuffie
who easily outdistanced Charlie Lam
bert last time, and S. H. Webb, the
veteran walker, will all be there al
the starting line.
In the last race Sullivan made the
distance in Is minutes 35 seconds
Ayres was four seconds behind him
and Cheatham three seconds later. This
is very fast time, and it will be a sur
prise to everybody if it is lowered {

ballast at all, and acted crafty, even
though the wind was very light But
now she is ballasted and tuned up and
may well poke her nose over the line

There is possibility that the south
wind will come up and blow steadily

been decided that a temporary obserya-
