SPORT NOTES

Four ball games were played at
Schofeld Barracks on Saturday and
Sunday last. TX" Troop beat IS"
Troop by four to two; &c" Troop beat
H" Troop fiye-three; the Marine Gun
nine beat "D" Troop nothing; and
"A" Troop beat &C" Troop five-three.
The games were all interesting and
indicate that as the boys get into
better form they will put up very
classy ball
On the Makiki ground yesterday
Afternoon some of the st. Louis ball
teams were out for practice. The lads
are making a good showing already,
and promise to stack up well against
Oahu in the game to be played on
April End as benefit to Captain Sam
Mana.
Jimmie Fitzgerald, the Irish Canad-
ian runner, who is on his way to
Honolulu on the Makura, is expected
to reach port on Tuesday next. A
cable received by the agents of the
Canadian Australian line stated that
the boat would arrive on time. 1t
is rather a pity that Fitzgerald will
not be here in time to compete in the
twenty mile race set for next Sunday
However, fans are looking forward to
the meeting between Fitzgerald and
Soldier King. Details of Fitzgeralds
running in New Zealand are also ex-
pected on the Makura.

SPOR T S
TENNIS GAMES
IN PROSPECT

Tennis seems to De ON the down
grade iu Honolulu judging by tine
moagor entries received for the Wall
Cup competition. for only eight names
were handed I'm yesterday This is
hard TO understand In view of the UNI
doubted popularity OF the game among
an classes here. Last year tennis was
booming at the Bcretania Club, and IL
was expected that the present season
would be record-brealer, as the
courts had been extended, and the
members convenience had been con
suited In other respects. But only
eight entries for the Wall Cup! One
might well ask: What has happened
to the Beretauia Club?'
However eight games which will
necessarily be played before the tour
nameut ends should be productive of
good tennis This afternoon r. A.
Cooke and A. NJ Novel; both on the
owe-ffteen mark. and Noel DEER and
AL Castle. the former on scratch and
the latter owe-ffteen, will stack M
against each other The Novel; Cooke
game should be a corker for NOVEL; is
splendid server and driver, and
Cooke plays an all-round good game
If Noel DEER plays anything like NJ
to form, he should make Castle go FOR
all he is worth to win.
Tomorrow c. G. Bockus, scratch
will meet T. R. Bartlett, receive-if
teen, and w. A. Wall and K. b.
Barnes, both receive fifteen, will also
meet. There is never any telling how
Bockus will play; he is always an un,
known quantity and this uncertainty
lends interest to any game in which
Bockus plays, He is also something
of a wag and can be depended upon
TO keen the spectators in good spirits,
The winner of the Nowell-Cooke
game will play the winner OF the
Bocllus-Bartlett game. and the winner
of the Castle-Deerr game will meet
the winner of the Wall-Barnes game.
Then the respective winners in these
two games will play off for the right to
challenge Atherton Richards for the
Gun. Richards has been under the
weather with the grippe for some
little time, and it is quite on the cards
that the final game will be held over
for awhile. AS arrangements now
stand, however, the second pair o
matches will be played tomorrow, thu
semi.fnals on Thursday, the final OF
Friday and the challenge match OF
Saturday.

Boxing has been receiving a deal
.of attention from the Legislators in
California of late, recent files bring
ling accounts of the agitation to have
the game put upon a better footing
Throughout the state Various sug-
Igestions were put forward for the i'm
proyement of sport, chief among
which were proposals to increase the
size of the gloves, pad the rings with
felt, limit all contests to twenty
rounds, etc. According to sporting
writer's on the Frisco papers, it was
considered likely that the Legislators
at Sacramento would view the sug
gestions with approval, but the arrest
of Wolgast shows that the opponents
to the measure are not keeping idle
| Wolgast has a number of fixtures
ahead and his victory over Memsi,
indicates that the injured arm, which
was made so much of after the fgh
against Brown in New York, canno
be as bad as was made out Wolgas
blames the New York critics for fay
oring Brown in that match.

RUGBY At
MAKIKI TO DAY

Yesterdays Rugby practice at Ma
kiN ground emphasized the fact that
there is plenty of good material in
Honolulu for Rugby football team
Though there were only seven of the
proposed Honolulu team present and
eight of the sailors from the Alger-
iuo am imprOmpu game was played
n order To famiharilo the beginners
with the rules The Algerine mon
gave way to- the local boys, and per-
mifted many breaches of the rules
to pass without penaliziug their OPP
ponents I'm order that the local boys
could get a good idea of what was
expected of them.
/ In the team to represent Honolulu
this afternoon there are about ten
Of the fifteen players who are more or
less familiar with Rugby but the re-
naming five are new to the game.
However. some of these five were out
yesterday, and showed a natural apu-
'tude for the game Il is anticipated
that the match to be played this at
tcruoou at five o'clock on the Naiiki
ground will be replete with incidents
THE sailors are speedy, handy and
kick the bali well and viii probably
give a good account of themselves.
This being the first occasion for
many years that a Rugby game has
been played locally it is hoped that
inter collegiate fans will take adyaE~
tage of the opportunity and roll out to
see the match, if only to see if Rugby
lis the game which its opponents claim
liz to be. On the Coast Rugby has
taken hold very strongly, but in Homo
lulu all efforts to get the game going
have failed If a Rugby team was
started here it could only have few
matches annually, but if the schools
took up the game, taking their eX-
Iample from Stanford and California
Universities, an annual tournament
could be arranged In addition to the
teams from the leading schools a
civilian team could then be organized
for there are many civilians who would
train if series Of games was assured.
Whats the use of killing myself
for one game" said an ex-Rugby play
er yesterday, when asked to play.
Start a series of games and l will
train" he added, and that really
seemed to be the general view. If
the schools here will but take an in
terest in the game it would certainly
go; there is an immense amount OF
good material among the inter colleg-
late players and a little coaching
would soon put the boys on the right
track. State games with Cali.
fornian schools could be arranged
without a great deal Of trouble or eX
I pense.
For today's game the line up 70
Honolulu will probably be: B. Sumner
J. c. Ewing, J. T. Armitage, H. Chill
lingworth, H. b. Bailey, Ben Clark, 7
p. w. Gray, r. Sinclair, f. Jameson

Dandruff! -

There is just this much about Il:
Dandruf is a germ disease, is
most untidy, annoying, and leads
TO badness. When chronic, IL
is very stubborn, but surely
yields to thorough and energetic
treatment. All germs must be
destroyed, the scalp must be
restored to health. Here is the
remedy: Ayers Hair Vigor.
Ask your doctor about using it.

HARLOWE is ON RAIL BOARD
Governor McGovern Appoints Mil
waukee Man to Succeed Prof.
Meyer on Commissi

Madison.-Gov. Francis E. Nc
Govern has announced the appoint
ment of David Harlowe of Milwau-
kee, for seventeen years traffic man
ager of the Allis-Chalmers company,
as member of the state railroad
commission to succeed Prof. B. H.
Meyer
Mr.. Harlowe was appointed for a
term of four years, beginning Feb.
1, at salary of 700 year. Prof.
Meyer was recently appointed a
member Of the interstate commerce
commission by President Taft. 1t
has always been understood here
that Mr.. Harlowe was offered place
on the commission by Gov. La Fol-
lette, but at that time he felt that he
could not accept it. His appointment,
by reason of his special qualifications
and full sympathy with the idea of
federal and state control of trans
portation companies, maintains the
high character which the commission
has always commanded in the public
mind.

INHERITANCE TAX IS PAID
State Treasurer Dahl Gets Revenue
from Counties for the Last
Three Months.

Madison.-Money received by the
various county treasurers for inheri-
lance taxes collected during the last
three months of the year 1910 is
coming daily to the state treasurer in
checks of various sizes.
According to preliminary sched-
ules filed by the county clerks, the
state will receive about $4,000 from
this source after the per cent dis
counts for cash and the counties
share of 7 Y per cent have been de-
Quoted. This sum may be added to
by increases over the schedules orig
inally filed by the county clerks.
Dane, Outagamie and Milwaukee
counties share honors this time for
the largest contributions from this
source. Milwaukee collected nearly
$4,000 in the last quarter of 1910,
Dane $4,000 and Outagamie s20,-
600. Under the law, all inheritance
taxes collected for the three months
noted must be turned over to the
state treasurer by Jan. 80.

65.7 PER CENT OF
WISCONSlN'S INCREASE IN
POPULATION.
THlRTY-SIX ARE ABOVE 5000
Census Bureau Figures Show Many
Badger Cities are Making Rapid
Growth-Kenosha Leads State in
Percentage of Increase.

Washington.-Eight municipalities
in Wisconsin, which in 1900 had
population in excess of 5000, de-
creased during the last ten years, ac-
cording to figures of the thirteenth
census. The eight places lost in the
aggregate about 5000, one of them,
Kaukauna, falling below 5000 in
population. The others were Ash
land, Marinette, Menomonie, Neenah,
Oconto, Portage and Stevens Point.
Notwithstanding these losses, the
municipalities over 5000 contributed
64.7 per cent of the states total in
crease in population during the ten
years. They gave 171,361 of the
states total increase of 264,818.
In 1900 there were thirty-three Of
these municipalities. Four places of
less than 5000 increased to figures
beyond that number in the ten years,
while one decreased below that num-
Der, making thirty-six cities the num-
Der in 1910 that had population in
excess of 5000.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be place where, II
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
On his own interests.
One hot day he pulled off his coat
and preached vigorous sermon, I'M
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close Of the open-air service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
Il don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one Of the big New YORK
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
II reckon I knew 1t well, for ID
been told of it," said the preacher,
calmly. II don't believe he's as Dao
as he might be, and anyway, / put my
coat on the chair close by and had II
right under my eye all the time

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back Of my hands. They became very
Irritating, and gradually became
worse, SO that | could not sleep at
night. I consulted physician who
treated me a long time, but 1t got
worse, and could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and It was just the same. I was
told that it was a very bad case Of
eczema. Well, just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years until was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. I did so, and !
found after few applications and by
bandaging my hands we'll up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
could sleep we'll, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and 1 think by using
the Soap and Ointment 1 was much
benefited. I stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If I could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
"a few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case. I used the Oint
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and [ am glad to say that I have
hands as clear as anyone.

tention all over the United States:
"Why did the good God make a
bad devil?"
On Dec. 27 Mr. Secor arose from

tured the lung.

prematurely exploded and a Milwau-
kee man was injured He was sub
sequently arrested, and after a long

Chippewa Falls.-The jury in the
Fourboul patricide case returned a
verdict of manslaughter in the Sec
ond degree. The penalty is from
four to seven years in the states
prison
The prisoner, Felix Fourboul, Jr.,
received the verdict with a smile.
Judge Wickham deferred sentence.
Toward the closing of the trial the
defense sprung a surprise in admit
ting the identity of the body found
in the river three months after the
disappearance of Fourboul, Sr., and
confined it's testimony to the theory
of suicide.
The accused son took the stand on
his own behalf. He stated very little
about the walk that himself and his
father had taken on the night when
the latter was last seen alive, except
to say that the old man after a quar-
rel over money matters had given
him a whipping and left him lying
stunned on the ground He never
saw his father again, he said.
On cross examination by District
Attorney Wiley the prisoner proved
weak in his replies and hesitating,
but he constantly hedged himself be-
hind the answer, 81 don't remem-

milwaukee HAS BAD FIRE
Six-Story Plant of Andrae Electrical
Company Consumed with Loss
of Over $25O,OOO.

Milwaukee.-One of the most dan
gerous fires fought by Milwaukee
firemen for many years started in the
six-story brick office, warehouse and
salesroom of the Julius Andrae q
Sons company, electrical supplies,
118-12O Sycamore street, and burned
four hours, destroying the building
and contents, causing loss of about
$3.50, 900.
For a time it was feared the entire
district east of the electrical plant to
the river was in danger of burning
and all the downtown fire apparatus
was brought into service.
Eighty tons of wire were stored
on the fourth floor of the building
at the time the fire started. When
this crashed through the f1ameweak-
ened beams it carried with it prac-
tically every other floor to the base
ment.
