The second game will be between
the two winners of last Saturdays
games at the park. The team from

and the Japs also made good with their
spasm against the South Dakotas. The

For the benefit of sailor visitors It
may be explained that the Kalihi team
is named the Beers on account of
their manager and captain having the
first name of Paul The sporting
writer of this paper referred to him
once in conversation as Dom Paul"
the name was taken up and has stuck.

they will be tied with the Japs for first

League. The games today and to-
morrow will be more than worth go

There will be no fights at the Athletic
Park This decision was arrived at
yesterday afternoon when the directors
of the enterprise met and talked over
the situation Originally the park
management expected to pull off box
ing bouts between members of the fleet
crews but, since there have been so
many outside challenges and at least
one professional pugilist has come
down from the Coast to mix up with
sailors on the cruisers, the directors
decided that the bouts would SAVIOR
too much of real prize-fghting and so
determined to have nothing to do with
it.
In an interview on the subject given
out for publication the park directors
say in part
The Honolulu Athletic Park is for
all kinds of open sports and athletics
such as can be arranged for amateur.
| semi-professional and professional
events Baseball, football track
events of all kinds and any competitive
events in the open air we are pleased

thing that takes an expert to produce.
The management Of the Honolulu Ath-
letic Park has not, at present, the SER
vices of such an expert and, under
standing that there are other parties
who wish to handle boxing competi-
tons with sailors from the fleet and
other boxers as competitors, we have
decided to not promote any boxing at
the park

RACE NEWS
FROM MAUI

WAILUKU, September 25.-A very
enthusiastic meeting of the Maui Rae
ing Association was held at the Maui
Hotel last tuesday evening the 2lst
inst
Five new members were elected maxi
ing nineteen new members for the as
ISOLATION in the last three months.
There will be about ten more for next
meeting which will take place some
time during October.
The by laws were revised and new
racing rules were adopted. The same
rules that govern racing in the United
States will govern races here and no
doubt they will prove more satisfactory
than the rules under which we have
been racing The association expects
to have the Hawaii and Oahu horsemen
with us next Fourth of July and we
expect to conduct our races on a BUSH
ness basis and leave no loop holes for
takers.
The Association has had very haro
struggle in the last few years to keep
afoat but owing to it's clean conduct
they are out of debt, have money in
the treasury and today Maui is the
center of racing in this Territory and
the coming years will only tend to
place her in an uassailable position.
Of course it is necessary to have the
support of the public and Maui mas
been very liberal in it's patronage and
it is to be sincerely hoped that the
public will manifest as much interest
in good clean horse racing as they do
inbase ball, tennis, yachting, polo and
cricket Why not patronage the sport
of kings as long as it is conducted in
a clean manner-Kokua.
