PLANS FOR WAsEDA.

Members of the Oahu Baseball lea
que as well as the local Japanese
are making great plans for the re-
ception of the Waseda baseball team
that will arrive here on July 1 by
the r. X. X. S. S. Chiyo Maru.
A meeting of the local Japanese
was held the other night at which
were present nearly every member
of the Oahu ieague, it being unanim-
ously voted that the visitors would
be given the best reception ever ten
dered in Honolulu to any collection Of
athletic visitors.
A reception committee consisting
of representatives of each team in
the league as well as number OF
prominent Japanese will go outside
the harbor on special launch with
the Hawaiian band to give the play
ers from Japan welcome that they
viii long remember.
When the ship docks a parade Of
all the teams that will play in the
series will start, the visitors being
escorted to the hosiery they will
stay in while in Honolulu. The first
games in the series will commence IN
Sunday July at Athletic Park, two
games being played on July and
every Saturday and Sunday until they
are completed.
Practice is the order of the day
among the players of the six teams
that will play in the games, the teams
being: P. A. c., J. A. c., U. S. M.
c.. Punahou and st. Louis.

HALL CUP PLAY.

Alfred Castle one of the committee
who has charge of the arrangements
for thSe opening match for the e. o.
Hall tennis trophy, hopes to have
every detail arranged so that the
first tournament will be played about
the middle of July.
Members of the Manoa, Neighbor-
hod Pacific and Beretania clubs will
play in an elimination tournament to
see what members will meet in the
cup play, the unattached tennis play
ers being assigned to one of the four
clubs for the tournament.
AS the deed of gift states that the
cup shall be played for by every play
err in the territory regardless of club,
this idea of the committee is AN ex-
cellent one and will probably meet
with great favor among all the ten
mis- men.
AS the cup must be played for semi
annually until it is won three times
by the same player, some interesting
matches will be recorded before the
cup is finally won.
Some of the players who will be
scratch men are: Castle, Low, r.
Cooke, A. Richards, c. Cooke, Allan
Lowrey, Sonny Cunha, Steere, No
well, DEER, Clarke, Waterhouse and
Roth.
The matter of handicaps is some
thing that is causing the committee
no end of worry but those will all
be arranged before the date Of the
opening tournament.

MRS. COULTER WILL
PLAY MISS RICHARDS

As a result of her easy victory over
Miss Burnham yesterday afternoon,
Mrs. Ethel Coulter ey and certain
champion tennis player will meet Miss
Ruth Richards this afternoon at four
o'clock on the Beretania courts for
the single championship of Hawaii.
Although Miss Richards plays an
excellent game of tennis, Mrs. Coulter
will probably have little trouble in
annexing the coveted honors.
Mrs. Coulter and Miss Burnham
gave a brilliant exhibition Of tennis
before a large and enthusiastic gallery
of spectators both players came in for
much merited applause. Mrs. Coulter
as usual played her steady finished
game, her service and back handed
returns being exceptionally fine. Miss
Burnham like Miss Sewell was out
classed, in spite of the efforts she
made in both sets, the scores being
GO, 6-1.
Mr.. Coulter from now until she
leaves for the coast will play daily
with the best men in Honolulu, a
number having already been beaten
by the lady champion. 1t is not GER
tain if she will play in the mixed
doubles which start next Monday, but
her many friends are anxious to see
her once more in a championship tour
nament before she leaves for the coast
where she will be matched against the
best lady players on the mainland.

time being l hour, 35 minutes rs
second.
In the first race held on April rs
Forrest made more than the distance
in / hour 81 minutes, the track not
being properly surveyed, and taking
into consideration the fact that he
was off the track for nearly ten mi
nutes, he ought to come very near
setting new record for the distance
tomorrow.
Several of the entrants for the race
tomorrow night have been making
excellent time in practice, and with
Forrest following the pace that
Markham and Marcus intend to set
the time should at least be equallet
if not lowered.
The officials who have kindly CON
scented to act, are requested to be OIL

O'Clock so that the rules etc, can b'
gone over before Lieutenant George
Bowen, of the Goth Infantry, start

ferring with the accountant. the COM
