SAINTS WOULD
PLAY OAHUANS

And what do you know about thiss
Is it a live noises 1t most certainly
is. The Saints would palaver with a
picked Oahu team. Let them palaver,
yea let the merry war 60 on, for the
game should be a grand one.
If this challenge is accepted by the
Oahu league, they should of course
claim the privilege which Mr.. VIII
iams aceedes to them, of playing at
the Athletic Park. On their home
grounds with men who have played
together and against each other for
the last few months, the Oahu leaguers
should most certainly be able to give
a good account of themselves.
Johnny Williams is a great twirler
and Soares is an equally great catcher
but the Oahu boys have large choice
and there is no doubt that the boys
will rally round without Jealousy to
uphold the name and honor of their
league.
1t is useless to comment on the posi-
bilities of the Oahu team until the
challenge has been officially accepted
but it would be a shame to let such
a good chance go by and it is up &c
the Oahuans to come through and
show what they can do.
Here is the challenges:
The Manager of the Oahu Baseball
League, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: There being question in
the minds of some, as to the class OF
ball played by the teams of the Oahu
Baseball League and the Honolulu
Baseball League, the undersigned here
by challenge any team or combination
of teams of the Oahu Baseball League
to play a series of two out of three
games, either at the League grounds
or the grounds of the Oahu league, fol
gate receipts, or any other considera
ton named. An early reply is re
quested.

HENRY WAS SAFE
AT FIRST BASE

With regard to the funny stunt
pulled off by Henry Chillingworth at
Aala Park on Sunday, there is prece-
dent to show that he was not out at
first and he was right in saying SO.
1t will be remembered that Henry
hunted to Businessman with men on
second and third. Businessman grab
bed the ball and expected to tab Henry
out and send to catcher in time to stop
any scoring. Henry stopped and ran
backwards, just before he reached the
plate-one man had already scored
the second man was romping. Henry
pointed to the runner and the fielder
ratified and threw wild to the catcher,
then Henry ran to first base untouched.
This same thing happened about
eighteen months ago at the big league
grounds. Bert Bower wrote to the high
est authorities on the mainland about ii
and they replied that, if a runner to
first stopped and ran backwards merely
to delay the game, he was out. But, if
he did it in order to enable base run
ner to advance, then, if by chance he
got by the fielder untouched and with
out leaving the line, he was safe. The
play was clever one and showed that
Henry keeps his head.

INDOOR STUNT
AT THE Y. M. c. A.

"straight Tips" The genial seere-
tary of the Y. NJ. C. A. has struck sew
eral keynotes in his little edition
Straight Tips" Call around and get
one. It's worth while. Clean athletics

The social work of the Y. M. G. A.

with bang on Thursday evening at
5 p. m. The committee have a grand
stunt up their sleeves and are sure that
they are presenting the funniest farce
of the season.
Did you ever see an intercollegiate
track meet? It's all meat. Eleven
events of strictly athletic nature and
prizes too-big medals. No age limit,
for both the older men and the boys
have an equal chance to win. The
cleanest sporting men about town are
going to be the officials and they are
reading up the rules, many of them not
put into general practice.
The refreshment committee have tax
en- special pains to be prepared for a
large crowd. Are you going to be one
of that crowd? Sure. Remember those

at this kind of work.
Chiffon at the Throttle.
Bill Chiffon, who is looking after
Jackson, is a wise old bird when it
comes to training. With plenty of
superfuous adipose tissue on his own
jolly frame, he knows how to regulate
it ON another man and states that the
main thing he will have to combat is
Jackson IS exuberant enthusiasm.
Nigel wants to he at it all the time
and is liable to run himself stale be-
fore the race. But the genial Bill will

care that his man does not overdo
things, as he certainly did before the
ten mile race.
Judges Selected Soon.
The judges will be selected at the
end of the week. It is probable that a
prominent sportsman of the fleet will
act as one judge while the other two
will be selected from local athletes who
know the game in every way.
The track will be specially surveyed
for this race so that the starting and
finishing points viii be arranged in such
way that the runners will cover the
exact Marathon distance of 26 miles,

place at the Athletic park on the morn
ing of Sunday, October 8, at clock.
This was finally decided at a meeting
held yesterday afternoon in the offices
of the Athletic Park Association.
This allows just two weeks for train
ing. Plenty of time considering that
both men trained for the recent ten
mile race and have done nothing to get
themselves unfit since that time.
Tsukamoto, having this race in view,
has been doing daily work and is even
now in excellent shape. Jackson has
not let up either. He has been doing
a certain amount of work every day in
addition to his business Of driving a
laundry wagon.
Jackson has arranged for man to
take his place for two weeks and viii
confne himself absolutely to getting
into perfect shape for the long and
grinding race. He has established him
self in training quarters and has en-
gagged two expert rubbers to look after
his physical condition.
The soles of his feet and his leg
muscles will receive particular attention
from Jackson IS trainers. He has sew
eral very pronounced ideas on how to
fit himself and among other things will
cut out cold water baths entirely until
after the race.
Neither does he believe in rubbing of
too strenuous character. His trainers
will not be allowed to do any esteo-
pathic stunts on him but will use gentle
and longer treatment, in order to keep
the strain bearing muscles in the most
supple condition possible.

Tsukamoto The little japanese runner
has a naturally perfect stride and his

PLAY MARINES

The Colorado boys have one com
fort, even if they were left behind
from the speed trials. Their baseball
team can get plenty of practise and
prepare to slip it to some of the other
cruisers when they get back again
A game has been arranged between
them and the Marines at the Athletic
Park next Thursday starting at 8
O'Clock and it should be a very keen
game. One of the greatest things
about the visit of the fleet, from a
sporting point of view. is that there
are SO many evenly matched teams
around
Every single game, that has been
played here since the fleet arrived, has
been exciting and this one between the
Colorado and the Half-wets should be
one grand bingtarrara.
Yesterday afternoon, Fred Bassett
took his corps of ball-beaters out to
the league grounds and they went
through a hard practise during most
of the afternoon. They will certainly
be in shape to do something to the
Marines.
The Colorado would like to play 9TH
er games and it us very probable that
they will play against a team, picked
up by Eddie Fernandez, tomorrow aft.
ernoon at the Athletic Park starting
at o'clock. The lateness of the hour

local players to get away from work

. TWELVE
MILL LEVY
PROBABLE
Big Volume of Protests De-
cides Reduction.

A week from tonight the city
council will meet to take final &C
ton In the matter of the tax levy
for 1910. Practically all opposition
to lowering the levy over the
amount first figured, ID mills, has
disappeared among the members Of
the city council, and the levy will
be cut.
A continued and vigorous protest
from taxpayers has been reaching
the ears Of the city council for the
past two weeks, and counciImen
who were inclined to give the
heads of departments all that they
asked for have now come to the
conclusion that further cuts are
necessary.
These cuts will be made and the
levy reduced to IL and possibly 10
mills. Where the cuts will be made
will not be determined until the
council meets.
Individual councilmen have been
making inquiries among other
cities of the northwest as to the
cost of municipal government in
those places, and the result has
been the securing of information
that shows some startling figures.
For instance, in the city of Tacoma
the city engineers office will be
run the coming year for $4,000,
while City Engineer Ralston of
Spokane asked $6S,5000, and was
granted $62.500. or $42,500 more
