AccEPTANcEs FOR PREsTIDGE.

There are two aeceptances of VIII
Prestidge's baseball challenge They
are both hot ones. One is from Ser
geant Barry of the n. G. II. and the
other from Fort Shafter. Th7 latter
simply says, "Come around to the
camp on either next Thursday or Sat
urdav afternoon and we will lick the
stuffing out of you. But the n. Il.
II. acceptance is even more TO the
point.
Sergeant Barry says he never heard
of viii Prestidge before. That IS bad
enough. but he goes on to say that his
lads have been to Camp Perry and
that they saw a trife in the way of
baseball there. He caps this BY insin-
uating that the baseball grounds en-
ployes will get theirs when they meet
the y. G. FL. team.
The genial Sergeant leaves loop
hole, or rearguard, or whatever you
call it, as all good tacticians do. He
winds up by saying that if the n. G.
H. should, by any chance, take it from
the Prestidge outfit, he viii leave 1t
To the regulars to hand out the lemon.
Saw. can YOU beat that Irish wit OF
the frst-aid man? Not chance; not
a chance.

HALEIWA RACE
MEETING TODAY

There will be a mass meeting in the
roof garden of the Young Hotel, at
the mauka end, this afternoon at $50,
to discuss plans for go-as-you- please
race to Haleiwa and to appoint a COM
mittee to attend to all arrangements.
1t is specially requested that all
those who are interested either get
there or see that they have represen-
tation. The bicycle riders are partic
ularly asked to have representative
there, with full power to act for them,
as the bunch of foot-racers are not
liable to know much about what a cv-
clist wants.
The different athletic clubs who fig
ure on having representative in the
race should be sure to have somebody
there. There will be more work to be
done in connection with this event
than with the previous walking races,
and the committee that has to do the
work will necessarily be larger.
After things have been talked over
at the mass meeting and the commit
tee appointed, the matter will be
taken up with st. Clair Bidgood of the
Haleiwa Hotel. An Advertiser repre-
sentative will be going there tomor-
row morning and will be able to talk
it over with him and arrange details.
There is much discussion round town
as to the best date, and it is import
ant that those who attend the meeting
oh InRn IA
ideas on this subject, as this is a mat
ter that must be settled by the many
and not by the committee. Other i'm
portant details are time of starting,
place of starting, and exact route to
be taken. Those who have a good
knowledge of the roads between here
and Haleiwa would be comforting a
favor by attending the meeting, even
if they do not intend to enter.
There is no doubt whatever about
the race being big success. Many
prominent athletes have asserted their
intention of entering, and it is sur
prising to note how many people think
they can cover the distance faster than
anybody else.
Those who Won prizes in the recent
walking races will probably all enter.
Ayres is already doing light work, and
sullivan is naturally fit, as he is in
training for boxing match. Cheat
ham, Gibson and some other of the
long-legged boys, with little weight TO
pack, ought to be able to do well, and
some of the shorter ones will be there
with the big surprise, not forgetting
Sam Hop, the winner of the three
mile walk at the Chinese sports.

TANSAN PLAY
NEXT SUNDAY

The next Tansan tournament will be
played on the Country Club links next
Sunday. Entries close at TO a. m. sharp
and no entries are received by tele-
phone.
There is a keen interest attached to
this day IS play, as the cup, which must
be won once on each of three courses,
has already two players with two wins
to their credit. Austin White and W.
Simpson have each won match at
Haleiwa and Moanalua, and there is
a good possibility that one of these two
experts will carry off the honors on
Sunday, in which ease the winner will
take possession of the cup.
The three winnings must be made on
different links, so that it is a rather
remarkable coincidence that the only
two winners should both have won on
the same links and % come together
to play for the final hold on the cup in
the same match. There would be added
excitement if these two should draw
to play against each other in the same
twosome.

HONOLULU WINS
FOURTH MATCH

It was the Naval Station that play
ed the Honolulu team on the Hotel
Baths bowling alleys last night, and
not the Fort Shafter team. The Ho-
nolulu bunch won by a good margin,
279 points, and did it by good all
round bowling, with not many strikes,
but a line of spares that kept the
average up.
Robinson of the Honolulu team
made sensation in his first start by
making a strike and following it with
three more. One more strike and a
bunch of spares put him above the
two hundred mark, and he ended his
first inning with 21S. This eneour-
aged his team and tided them over his
falldown in the next period, when he
fell to 1873.

Chiffon TEAM
WINS THE GAME

A hot game of basketball took the
place of gymnasium drill at Fort Shaf-
ter yesterday morning. Companies u
and H were the players, and the u
team won out by the narrow margin OF
40 to 80.
Lieutenant Chiffon, captain of the G
team, is a very enthusiastic basket
baller, and has been instrumental IN
making the game the brilliant success
it has proved at the camp. He is also
keen about baseball, and his encourage
ment and coaching have had much to
do with the success of the Company u
team, which has been indicated IN
the recent practise games in prepare
ton for the Dunning cup series.
The line-ups were: Company c.

HIGH SCHOOL
STILL IN LEAD
Quiet Weather Makes for Good
Passing and Fast Games
Result.
Standing of Interscholastic Soccer
League.

The games came out very much as
might have been expected in the inter
scholastic soccer series at Alexander
field yesterday afternoon. The Rams
defeated Punahon in a close game by
l to 0 and the High School had little
difficulty in putting the Aliiolani boys
away by to O.
The weather was warm for football
but the air was still and there was no
wind to catch the ball when it rose
from the ground This made passing
and shooting comparatively easy and
there were some brilliant plays of both
kinds made in each of the games.
Punahou put up husky scrap against
the Rams but could not score on them
so that Murray's clever shot in the
first half was the winning goal and the
happy Kams left the field with the
knowledge that the championship is
not yet beyond their grasp. If they
can again defeat Aliiolani, which they
should do with comfort and Punahou
can defeat or draw with the High
School, they will tie with the school if
they can beat the latter in the final
game.
The second game was not very lively
to watch during the first half as the
High School had it too much their way.
The two goals were scored in the first
ten minutes of play, Sing Hoon and
Henry Chillingworth being the shooters.
Both goals were remarkable in that
the ball hit wood in each case. Sing
Hoon s shot was trife high and it
hit the bar but the ball determined to
go through the goal instead of over.
Henry's hard shoot from near right cor
ner hit the goal post and then twisted
round and through the goal.
Chillingworth and Andrews exehang-
ed places The former played center
forward and the latter went to fun
back, where his tremendous kicking
powers were very useful.
In the second half of the game the
Aliiolani boys made it much harder for
the school. Within a minute after the
whistle blew for the second half to
start, Carter got away and very nearly
scored by straight shot that was neat
~ saved by Rice. For the balance OF
the game the Kaimuki boys worked
very hard and threatened several times
but Rice was too good for them and
saved every shot, of which there were
many. q
The lineups were: First game: Ka-
