the crack shot of Hawaii, made a big
hit at the championship shoot That
would attract widespread attention, and
| all the sportsmen would take notice

been awarded a medal by the congress
of the United States for accomplishing
daring feats of life-saving up on the

a lively interest and make that blot

time the soldier baseball team romps
out OF the diamond for an intercol-
legiate match. He is mentioned proml-

the games The cricket players here
are not quite up to the mark. 1t they
could make a good showing we might
send a team to Australia to play IN the
colonial and British matches, but there
are no cricketers in the Islands strong
enough to hold up their end. Hawall
might. however, put out tennis team
TO play in the international tourna-
ments.
