New Years Day will be suitably
celebrated, from sporting standpoint,
in these Islands, and if the first day of
the year may be taken as criterion
on the rest of 1909, the wcrld of sport
dom will be full of events of interest
and significance. Baseball enthusiasm
has been none of the best during the
latter part of the 1908 season, but this
was due more to an apathy on the
part of the PLAYERS themselves than on
the part of the loyal fans. The COM
ing of the Reach All-Ameriean team
will undoubtedly have the good effect
of dispelling the lack of interest that
has been the order of late, to a great
degree, as did the trip of the Pacific
Coast Stars to these Islands in 1907.
For time shortly afterwards Homo
lulu was surfeited with baseball, with
the result that, after few months,
the players grew stale and the
fell perceptibly.
Other sports have taken a decided
impetus during the year just past, and
new sports have been introduced. To-
day will mark the opening of thrill
ling ard novel sport-motorcycle rae
ing--one that will undoubtedly have a
large following among the speed fends.
It may be that the races which are
held this morning viii prove the
means of securing banked, raised
edge around the historic Kapiolani
track.
Horse racing has taken great leap
within the last six months in the IS
lands. To be sure. the Sport of Kings
has not reached the place that it held
d few years back, but then it was
killed through the crookedness of
some of the promoters. Running the
ponies, if the game is conducted near
the square line, will make a strong
bid for favor in most any community,
and here especially.
Both soccer and Rugby football
have been taken up with zest and en-
thusiasm. The Hawaiian Soccer Foot
ball Association, in the season which
will be completed today unless the
Males and the Y NJ. c. A. team are
tied for first place, and thus necessi-
tating a final contest. has furnished
some cracking good sport as well as
excellent amusement for the public.
The pugilstic game has come to the
front amazingly, notwithstanding the
efforts that We're made to keep it
smothered. During the stay of the
two fleets in this port, large number
of mills were pulled off, and they
were all CLASSY. The outlook for the

WOMAN COACH AND REFEREE

Seattle Times.-As far is known
Miss Lillian Merrell, a sehoolteacher
of Kalama, Wash, is the only woman
who has the distinction of having ref
creed football game or a basket
bali game played by men.
Saturday high school teams repre-
senting Kalama nd Castle Rock played
in the former town and Miss Merrell
was the referee. Her work was en-
tirely satisfactory to both teams. More
than this. Miss Merrell coaches basket
ball and football in the Kalama
schools. She is well versed III the
rules of both games and when in col
lege was a star basketball player her
self
While refereeing a game she wears
short skirts and is fast enough to be on
hand to pass on any close play. Every
one knows that the play shifts rapidly
from one goal to another and II seems
almost impossible that a woman would
be equal to the task Of acting as ref
cree. But Miss Merrell declares she
has little difficulty seeing al the plays
and that she has studied the rules I'M
til she knows them by rote.

The Marines walked away with the
Fort .Shafter aggregation on their home
grounds by the score of to > yester-

hard, but it was an uphill fight for. the
Shafter lads. The Marines started out
like winners, putting four men over the
frying-pan in the first canto, while the

HUNTERS KEEP
BUSY THESE DAYS
China Pheasants, as Well as
Ducks, Are Found on
Preserves.

Hunters are busy these days with the
shotgun, this being the open season for
all kinds of~feathered game. Chinese
and japanese pheasants are to be found
on some of the game preserves, though
they are greatly thinned out compared
to what they were here some years
ago. It was no uncommon thing for
the sportsman to bag a dozen or more
of these regal game birds in a day g
shoot number of years ago, but, with
the long open season, and the increase
in huntsmen Of late, both the Chinese
and japanese pheasants are disappear.
ing.
Almost every Sunday the Knights of
the Shotgun may be seen out on the
preserve at Leilehua or elsewhere bang
ing away. A number of varieties OF
ducks are encountered here also, these
providing an additional incentive to
the followers of the sport. Pigeon,
sprig. spoonbill and 'fnative ducks, -
the latter variety of the little teal
that is commonly found on the Coast
marshes, are met with here.
Geese are found over on Hawaii, and
it is a strange fact that the honkers
there keep to the heights of Mauna Loa.
Marshy lowlands, preferably tide-fats,
are the haunts of the wild goose along
the Coast. The probabilities are that
the reason the Hawaiian geese seek
the heights rather than the lowlands
along the seashore lies in the different
Kinds of food they find. Up in the hills
there are numerous kinds of berries
which are probably palatable to the
honkers. It is said of these Hawaiian
geese that their favorite stunt is to
sit on rocks and !" call. =
Harry Whitney, E. R. Spalding, J.
Harvey and others are among the best
known hunters here. Nothing will be
doing among the members of the gun
club until February when the clay
pigeon shoots will commence.

Thus far this spring the police at ihis place have registered l&O small boats and. as the boats average four they have carried away @bout 52O people.
 In the matter of nationality of thos yoing down the river in small boats those from the States predominate while England comes next with Scan Ginaviaus third. Very few Canadians lave gone in the small boat fleet and only 20 or 25 Montenegrans, although practically all nationalities are repre- sentcd on the police register.
 Lately there has been a falling off in the number of small boats leaving for down river but there will probably be a revival in travel of that class by the middle of June by which time the lake will be open and the way clear all the way from here to points n the lower Yukon.-Whitehorsc Star.

There is moro Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be in- curable. For a great many years doc tors pronounced it local disease an prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treat ment, pronounced it inCurable. Scienc has proven catarrh to be a constitu- tional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Halls Ca tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the mar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucou surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

 The first excursion will arrive here about June ?, the second about Aug ust 8, and the third some time in September.
 In the literature issued by the AL aksan Tours company, the tourist is advised to visit the interior of Alas ka over the White Pass route. The tourist boats will probably stay some time in Skagway. Leave It To Me- West is a great booster for Skagway and he says that the tourist traffic to the north this summer will be eX- ceptionally heavy.

Grandstand Players.

There are too many grandstand
players. We have them in every
walk of life. If you watch a base
ball game you will see fellow who
wears loud sweater and who poses
in the field. He will run like a deer
when it is unnecessary. When he
makes a poor slide he gets up and
limps away as though he was badly
injured, and if he had not been he
would have made the base. The
grandstand player is in the church
and in the lodge. When things are
quiet and there is only the mid-week
prayer meeting, the grandstand play
err has nothing to say. But when
the church is full and something is
up, Mr.. Grandstand Player is sure
to get up, and with a flourish of
trumpets make great bluff He's
at church socials and tells all about
1t. He never does any work, and he
manages to get his hands on all the
honors floating around. He never
gives a cent to any good cause with
out first standing on top of his house
and yelling so the town will notice
him. The grandstand works hard to
fool the people and thinks he is fool
ing the Lord. He may occasionally
make his bluff work with some UNI
suspecung brother, but he hasn't
fooled the Lord for second-An-

The Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl sits still in her
chair and listens to voices from every
where. She hears all the gossip, she
hears all the news; she knows who
is happy and who's drinking booze.
Say, it's joy when you learn of new
styles and of every girl who is chas-
ing the boys. She knows of our
troubles, she knows of our strife, she
knows every man who is mean to his
wife. She knows every woman who
has dark past; she knows every
man who is inclined to be fast" In
fact there's secret meath each saucy
curl of that demure looking tele-
phone girl. If the telephone girl
would tell all she knows il would
turn all her friends into Ditterest
foes. She would SOW a small wind
that would soon be a gale, engulf us
in trouble and land us in jail; she
could let go story gaining in
force) that would cause half our
wives to sue for divorce. The
churches mixed up in fight and turn
all our days into sorrowing nights.
In fact she could keep everything in
stew if she'd tell tenth of the
things that she knew. Now doesn't
1t make your head whirl when you
think what you owe to the telephone
girl.
