which of course set plotting to get in
ahead of them
Toward mld-afternOOn chance came when
heavy grass fire swept between our camp and theirs
It's thick smoke clouds drifting south before strong
north wind
Quickly loading few men with food and blankets
and leaving all tents standing we slipped away
IN the shrOudng smoke and got well the first
tall summit before the smoke lifted Later
learned that precautions had been entirely un-
necessary; for were told by the Sotik bona chief
that the same morning the other safari had sighted
the main herd, and had then retired because they
Claimed they none but small tuskers.
That night we camped a steep hillslope near
Tumo and within few hundred yards of where the
elephant had been feeding earlier in the day There
we were about midway between the Sotik and kiSii
oomas and IN the extreme northeast corner of TIE
range of the big kisii herd.
1t was an elephant grass country everywhere; but
even worse to work in than the Sambi for the hills
were much more precipitous, there were absolutely
no trees to climb for look about and every valley
was broad, bOggy, reedy swamp trampled by ele-
Tuskers by the Score
A T dawn We're off In the first swamp we struck
we jumped two rhinOs; but they scurred away
through the reeds. Two hours later from oblig-
lngly placed anthill upon a tall summit, lower
shoulder of the same hill about a half1nile below us
We caught glimpse of fourteen elephant, while
across deep valley and swamp and a hillside
probably two miles away. appearing and disappear
ing brown patches and glints of ivory showed
great herd of anywhere from one hundred to two
hundred head.
Had the day been clear. the sight would have been
superb well worth the entire trip from NairObi but
the air was SO hay with smoke that the elephant
looked like dim spectral shapes rising from the slope
OF a mighty billow of family moonlit sea.
Already the sun getting very hot for neither
clouds nor smoke seemed materially to lessen the
intensity OF the equatorial sunrays and both herds
the move for cool quarters for their midday
nap, headed lot north and the other south toward
a broad swamp that lay eight hundred feet below
them IN a valley trending west toward the Kuia.
They actually seemed a gift, did those elephant;
or rather chance at two fine bulls of the herd
seemed a certainty, for while could follow di-
rectly the spoOr of the herd without giving
them our wind lesurely wide circle to the west and
descent to the swamp, and a careful stalk up it
through its tall rushes along the slopes that
dropped steeply to its margin, seemed sure to bring
us to close range of the united herds founderng
about among the lily pads and reeds showerng
themselves with their trunks boring into the dark
green masses of the high, dank marsh growths for
shelter from the sun.

NEW MEMBERS FOR
HEALANI CREWS

The letter of Oar" published in
these columns about ten days ago, com
planning that the new members we're
not being given chance in the Hea-
lani Boat Club, has had desirable eff
feet Some of the powers that be have
taken the matter up and unbarred the
doors, and the promise now is that
there will not, in future, be that insur-
mountable eXclusiveness which has
kept the Healani rowing crews in the
background for long time.
The ve.y first bid for new members
resulted-as Oar had predicted-in
a ready response; and another batch OF
applications is to be acted upon at the
next meeting All of the new men
are young athletes who have been
ready and anxious to take hand, but
dislked the idea of having to go to a
refrigerator for the pleasure. A little
perseverance i'm the work now going on
and the Healanis will soon have the
making of four or five, or even six,
splendid crews on their club roll
The deciding swimming race between
the 'Myrtles and Healani relay teams
has been postponed to the last of the
month and may not be pulled off until
the early days of next month.

RAY RIETOW SOON
To co TO MAUI

Ray B. Rietow, clerk in the trust
department of Senator w. .. Smiths
office, will leave on August for Maui
where he will shortly accept a perma-
nent and, in many respects, more inn
portant position than that held in this
city!
The departure of Mr. Rietow will
be sincerely regretted in many bran
ches of sport. He is leading figure
in tennis circles, prominent mem
Der and official of the Myrtle Boat
Club, a motorcyclist of the first class
and a firstrate man in other lines. In
fact, as an alert and efficient official
in several organizations he will be
hard to replace.
Undoubtedly the Honolulu man will
be snapped up by the Maui tennis
club, and It need not be surprising
should he appear in the Maui team in
the coming contest with the Homo
ILLUS. He would certainly be a great

81 8 SPORTS
.FISTIC MILLS At
THE STAR THEATER

Seldom has there been more inter-
est evinced in pugilistic contest in
the Territory, than is the case with the
coming mill between Jack Cordell and
Dick Sullivan.
These two clever and willing box
ers are matched to box fifteen rounds
for Jack Scully at the Star Theater
on the night of the Utah inst.
The first contest between the men
was most spirited affair and the
house was on its feet during every
round. 1t was a magnificent exhibit
ton of the manly art OF self-defense,
with the chance of either contestant
putting fms TO the encounter at any
stage of it. Referee Mike Patton's de-
cision calling the bout a draw is uni
versally conceded to have been an
eminently fair one.
! And now these lights of the Queens
berry game are to go over the same
course again in an effort to settle for
good and all the vexed question Of
superiority.
/ Sullivan feels certain that, now he
/ has had a chance to become acquain-
ted with Cordell's style of boxing, he
can easily solve the problem of send
ing good one home which will mean
curtain for the San Franciscan. on
/ the other hand Cordell makes just the
same kind of a talk and expects to
win decisively before the end of the
| fifteenth round.
! Both men, fully realizing that the
issue of the battle means far more
than the actual cash value of the
purse,-are training in grim earnest
and each will enter the ring on the
night of the oath in shape to battle
for his life
Cordell is training at the Marines
headquarters. Sullivan has taken IN
his old quarters at Fort Shafter.
The ten-rounds preliminary between
Wahilani and Soldier Friedman of the
Fifth Cavalry will be well worth see
ing. The native lad is the most po-
pular boxer with the Hawaiians since
Bill Huihui and il is probable that
ne is destined for even higher fistiC
honors than those earned by the re-
doubtable Bill Friedman, his oppon
ent, is said to be a clean hard hitting
boy, and he will do his best to av
enge the defeat suffered by Sergeant
Marlowe at the hands of this same
Wahilani
The contests will be refereed by tn,
one and only Mike Patton, heavy
weight champion of the Far East ant
one of the most popular and versatile
of local entertainers.
The sale of tickets is now proceed
ing at the cigar store of Fitzpatricl
ros., at the corner OF Fort and Hote
streets, and a brisk demand for tn,
pasteboards has been experienced from
the time the box was opened.

BUCKS WIN ALL
THE BEST RACES

OAKLAND, July 6.--The energy and
enterprise of the men of the Reli-
ance club was rewarded yesterday
when twelve thousand people journey
ed to the Emeryville race track to see
the automobile races and were treated
to splendid afternoons sport. The
pleasure was in a measure marred by
fatal accident to one of the specta-
tors but the happy holiday gathering
soon forgot about this and the festi-
vities continued anew.
The Buick White Streaks won the
principal honors of the day, the little
cars winning both races in which they
were entered and covering the course
in remarkably fast time. Carl Chris
Jensen won the eighth event, which
was for cars costing between $1,000
and $500 with one of the "Streaks'
and second honors in the same race
fell to car of the same make, ope-
rated by Frank Murray. The eleventh,
a free for all event, was also annexed
by the Buick, Christensen being first
and Murray second.
The seventh race, a special event be-
tween the Gray Ghost and the Comet,
was won by the latter car with Earl
Cooper at the wheel. The Ghost fell
out OF the running early in the race
and was never a serious contender.
The Reliance club gained a victory
over the Olympic club when Bucks
representing the clubs went over a
| ive-mile course. The distance was
negotiated in 7:44 Is.

A GOLF MATCH At
WAIALUA SUNDAY

Manager Clifford Kimball was in the
city yesterday from Haleiwa and ex-
pressed surprise at the reports of daily
showers here, which have made it so
bad for golfing at Moanalua and the
Country Club. why it is dry at Ha-
leiwa," he says lin fact we have not
had too much rain all Summer. Our
links are in the very best of condition
and playing can be carried on any
day.
Next Sunday we will have another
match down there for the Haleiwa
cup. This will be highly interesting
as there are now three legs on it and
a large number of aspirants for hon
ors Mr. Bidgood has one leg and
Dr. Wood another. The former will
probably not compete further, as, |
understand, he is going away l am
not sure about DR.. Wood
Mr.. Kimball states that he has been
so busy since taking charge of Hale
iva that he has not had time to work
up field sports as he would like; but
that there will be plenty doing in the
very near future.

HONOLULU POLO
TEAM CRIPPLED

There may be one important change
in the polo team to play the Fifth Cav
airy at Leilehua next Saturday after
noon. Captain Walter Dillingham; an
nounced this morning that George Ee-
nison would ont be able to play, and
that his place would likely be taken by
Dr. Irwin. This is a serious disap-
pointment, as Denison is one of the
fastest men in the team. Dr. Irwin
on the other hand is said to be not
in good practice.
This afternoon the team will meet
at Kapiolani park race tract for prac-
tice. All members have been ordered
out and there will doubtless be many
enthusiasts at the park to witness the
playing Mr.. Dillingham; states that
the park field is alright so far as
moisture is concerned very little rain
having fallen out there; but the field
is not in good shape
Saturdays big game will take place
at Leilehua, Moanaua having beeh
abandoned on account of the soggy
condition of the grounds. The ponies
will be sent down to the cavalry camp
later in the. week.
Nothing has been heard from Kauai
about the inter-island tournament,
Doubtless something will show up to-
morrow, and Maui be heard from
! Thursday morning.

WILL SHOOT FOR
FINE GOLD WATCH

me Selby Smelling & Lead Company
of San Francisco, has sent to their
local correspondents, Messrs. E. O.
Hall & Son, a proposal to put up a fine,
gold watch to be competed for by mem
Ders OF the Hawaiian Gun Club. A
copy of the rules governing a shoot
similar to the one suggested, in the
State of Washington, is submitted for
the guidance of the local marksmen,
although it is distinctly pointed out
that the Hawaiian gunners may fix
their own rules in their own way.
The members of the Hawaiian Gun
Club who have seen the letter are
elated over the prospect and the matter
will be brought before a meeting of
the marksmen to be held in a very
short time. Undoubtedly the offer
will be accepted, and the shoot arrang-
ed under set of rules that will be
satisfactory to all parties.
The SeIby Smelling e Lead Company
is one of the biggest concerns of lts
kind in the world From its San
Francisco branch it has carried on an
important and increasing trade in the
Islands for many years and the trophy
shoot proposed will undoubtedly bring
the concern into even more favorable
prominence in Hawaiian esteem.

COHEN PROGRAM
As NOW MADE OUT

On account of what looks like a
show of bad faith, Promoter Joel Co
hen has cut Wahilani out of his pro-
gram to be pulled off at the orpheum
Saturday evening and will not stand
in his way of appearing for the rival
show at that time.
Coll, the well known Marine ath-
lete, will meet Mccullough. Coll is a
star baseball player for the Marine
team. Mccullough has appeared in
the ring here before, and is fast,
square sport
A new number altogether on the
Orpheum program is go between
Stanley of the Honolulu Iron Works,
and Young Fernandez. Both of these
are local men and are well known.
This is the evening of the meeting
of the Yacht Club at the offices Of
Magoon and Weaver. Time, 8 o'clock.

BIC LEAGUERS
GETTING READY

There will, almost without doubt,
be a series of games in the big base
bali league. The project looked UNI
promising for a time, but the excep-
tionally fine terms offered by the RAJ
pid Transit Company has made it ca
silly possible.
Yes" says Senator Chillingworth,
big baseball will be a go at last. The
proposition made to us by the Rapid
Transit Company is satisfactory and
I now see nothing in the way. l am
glad the rules of the Oahu Baseball
League bar out big leaguers, for had
they taken our men in down there we
would have been In pickle. AS IL
is our teams are intact and we are
ready to start up at almost any time. %
Doc" Monsarrat is probably the
most enthusiastic baseball fan in the
Hawaiian Islands. He roots for his
own team first and his league second
He is highly jubilant over the out
look for the big league and expects to
have big crowds out for the Saturday
| afternoon games.
A meeting of the big league VIII be
held at the Offices of Frank Thomp-
son at noon tomorrow, at which the
proposition of the Rapid Transit Com
pany will be taken up. There is hard
ly a doubt but that the offer will be
accepted.

WAIANAE WALKS

The series of the Plantations Base

standstill by the strike, has started up
again and the season promises to be
a good one after all. Sunday last the
Aiea team journeyed to Waianae TO
teach the felfows down there how to

worst kind of a licking At the end of
the seventh innings the score stood

visitors threw up the game.

liams were among the town boys going
down TO the game. The former play
ed with his old team, the Waianaes,
and the latter officiated as umpire.
This leaves the Eva and Waianae
teams tied for the championship, and
the contest will be played off in the

will come up to witness the final go.
