the tug-of-war contest. and It would
appear that there will be one great
days sport on March 10, when at
least six teams will meet at the Ath-
fetic Park.
The Hawaiian team is thought to
have the best chance in the affair,
although the Marines are determined
to give them hard go, and should
DO able to make the natives extend
themselves. The Portuguese bunch
will also do good work. and 1t would
appear that the winning team will
come from the three mentioned.
The Chinese team Win have go
at the competition, and as they are
light, according to Sam Hops idea,
1t would seem to be good scheme
to divide the prizes up into at least
six parts, 80 that all the teams will
get something for their hard work.
To only give. two prizes OF large
amounts would be Encouraging tor
