TENNIS PLAYERS
START FOR MAUI
Claudine Will Carry Honolulu
Racquet-WieIders to
Valley Isle.

This afternoon at O'Clock the ten
mis- players will Chamber aboard the
good ship Claudine, Captain Bennett in
charge, and will sail away for Maui,
that hospitable island where they are
all good sportsmen and their only in
tent is all for the delight of visitors.
As already announced, Mr.. Gee will
represent the Advertiser and will wire
less the result of the games and write
story for Monday morning issue af-
ter he returns.
The Mauinese tennis players have a
strong aggregation. They put it all
over the Oahu racquet men last year
and there seems to be some danger that
they will repeat the dose. Their team
will be wonderfully strengthened by
the addition of Searby, who has ar
rived from the Coast and will leave
on the Mauna Loa for McGregor' land
ing at noon today.
1t is going to be a hard trip for
the local players. They leave at 5
clock and reach Kahului at the mys-
, tic hour of somewhere between dawn
and darkness. If they have slept well
they will have been lucky, for the roll
ing Of the steamer and the many stops
at other ports when the raucous voice
of the first mate yelling to his crew
to clay on that tayckle" and "Get
some busy-busy now' pops through the
swinging curtains of sleep like mos
quito through silk stocking
Droop-lidded, but happy for the grand
IL hot o1r - r1n
go to Maui, the tennis players viii be
put on a train at Kahului and hustled
up to Puunene where they will find
bath and breakfast at the club. Then
rest and time to smoke the after
breakfast pipe.
After that the strenuous biznai win
begin. The grandstand and all the
space-round the courts will be filled
with a glittering array of charming
femininity with a sprinkling of mere
men things. Soon after midday halt
will be called for lunch. A dozen
courteous volunteers will chase all over
the grounds with sandwiches and lem
onade, sake and ice cream and cups of
steaming coffee.
By that time most of the games will
have been played. But there will be
one or two games to be played off. The
the entire results will be figured up,
the total wirelessed to the Advertiser
by Mr.. Gee and the call will go out
for the special train to Kahului.
All the visitors who want to go will
then go down to Kahului to watch the
baseball game between the All-Maui
and All-Hawaii teams. A return to
Puunene by another special train and
then the big luaua and dance in the
ballroom of the clubhouse.
The Mikahala will leave Kahului at
midnight and all the visitors will be
taken down in another special train
from Puunene. The Mikahala will ar
rive here some time Sunday morning
players will disembark to tell just how
good a time the Mauinese gave them.
