BASKETBALL GAME
ASSURED FOR MONDAY

Fort Shafter strong basketball team
will meet the 7. NJ G.. A. team on Mon
day evening in the opening game Of
what will probably be regular series.
The soldier lads have a good aggrega-
tion of basketball players, and it is
probable that they will come out vie
torious in the first game, which is to
be played in the Y. NJ. c. A, gymnasium.
Lack of training will tell against DR..
Hands boys at first, but the Doctor
maintains that this will not be the
case in the contest that will follow.
Teams will probably be organized
among the various army and navy or.
CARNATIONS in the near future, and this
will result in the formation of has,
ketball league. The Y. M. C. A. ath-
letes are always ready to boost this
kind of sport to the limit, and they
are working up enthusiasm at present.
The lineup of the association boys
will be: Frank Bechert, captain;
James Mott, John Baptist, Dan Voeller,
Charles Gilliland, Joe Honan, c. Lewis,
Gum, Axtell, and Bum. These men
are all oldtimers at the game, and I'M
der the able coaching Of DIR. Hand,
should make a good showing against
the Fort Shafter heavies Monday even,
ing.

FIGHTERS ON
THE WAY HERE
Joe Cohen Is Bringing Reilly,
Smith, and George
Peterson.
San Francisco, January 10.
Bringing George Peterson, middle
weight, Smith and Charley Reilly.
ssCOHEN -


Will Prestidge received the above
cablegram from Joel Cohen, fght-pro-
moter, yesterday morning. This means
that a new era of boxing contests will
soon dawn in Honolulu.
George Peterson is the man who will
walk into the punches of Dick Sullivan,
who is here at present, and who has
made quite record for himself as a
clean, clever fighter and an all-round
sportsman. Peterson is exactly in Sulli-
van S class. and it will be great event
when these two meet in the square ring.
Peterson walloped Kyle Whitney,
who, in turn, once did Sullivan up. In
the meantime, Dick has picked up a
great deal of fighting experience, and
he may be termed as very classy
mitartist.
Every figting fan in Honolulu knows
Charlie Reilly, and few have forgotten
Smith. Lightweights they both are, and
good ones. Their contest in the Or
pheum some time ago was one of the
best that has ever been seen here.
Joe Cohen has kept his word, and
is bringing back a trio of fighters who
will make things hum in this old burg,
With Dick Sullivan and George Peter
son in the main event of an evening.
and Charlie Reilly and Smith hooked up
in the preliminary, what more could a
man who enjoys a pugllistic contest
wants

Sullivan got down to hard training for
the big race Immediately on his arrival
and is confident that he can confirm
the result of the first race.
Ayres announces that he will make a
start on the road on Monday and ex-
poets to cover the course in sixteen
minutes on Sunday next. If he trains
he may succeed in doing this but If
he doesn't get down to hard work pref
ty soon the chances are that he won t
make as good time as he did in the
first race.
The elimination race today is looked
on to produce dark horse or two who
will make it interesting for the leaders
in the last race and if reports are true
one of the starters today is capable Of
covering the course in better than IF
teen minutes.
After the race next Sunday the go-as-
you-please race to Waialua for the cup
offered by the Haleiwa Hotel manage
went will engage the attention of pedes-
TRANS and when this contest has been
settled all hands will take a rest from
the hiking game till the cool days Of
next December.

"Just a little squeeze-play turned
the trick" says the exultant fan at
the end of a close and exciting
game, and he leaves the grounds with
no other in the world could have pull
ed off the delicate little play with as
great cleverness as did "his" boys.
And certain it is that every fan has
reason to feel proud of the aggrega-
ton that can handle genuine
"squeeze" play with the fnesse that
it requires 1t is one of the hardest,
easiest, best, worst plays in a base
ball game. If the players work to-
gether absolutely, if each man minds
his signal, it is one of the most sue
cessful and best-paying tricks that
can be played. One mishap, and all is
lost.
The All-Hawaiians demonstrated
that they have considerable inside
knowledge of the game yesterday
when they worked "squeeze" play
after "squeeze" play with success
against the United States Marine
Corps team. A nicely placed hunt, a
ball hard to get and still harder to
handle after it is picked up, flash
of speed from the man leading off
third-and there is clatter as the
baseball spikes cross the plate, miles
before the ball. In the meantime the
batter is beating it for all he is worth
towards first, the pitcher is probably
up in the air, the crowd is yelling like
mad, and chalk mark on the black
board back of center pushes the score
one notch forward.
That's a "squeeze" play, properly
