SPORT NOTES

Golfers Active on Nuuanu Links.
There is considerable activity or
the golf links in Nuuanu Valley At
/ resent, the extension of the car lire
to the entrance of the club havins
stimulated interest in the sport. In
fact, the attendance Of late has been
so great that the greens committee
put a rule into effect prohibiting four
somes on Saturday afternoons, it be-
ing found that there were SO many
players on the links that foursomes de-
layed the play of other members. The
last tournament held over the links
was a two-ball foursome, in which
more members competed than has
been the case for many months past.
The increased attendance has led to
the question Of enlarging the club
house being brought up. The matter
has been informally discussed during
the past couple of weeks, and it is eX.
pected that the matter will take
definite shape very shortly. The re,
cent rains have md de the grass over

Fielding Averages Of
Oahu League Players

The following list of fielding aver
ages of the players in the Oahu
League, inluding those who have play
ed in four or more games out of the
full number of nine, show that only
one player, August Dreier, went
through all the games without an err
ror, and that, too, holding down the
important position of first baseman.
Sumner, in the left field, played in
eight games without an error and
Dave Desha, captain of the Native
Sons, played in seven games without
an error. All the catchers are well
up in the list, Barney Joy leading the
others by a slight margin.
Kaulii, Kan Yen and H. Chilling
worth, three of the short stops who
played brilliantly at times have the
most errors recorded against them,
Kan Yen totalling nine, and the other
two players seven each. Pedro made
six errors and Asam had four record
ed against him. The averages are:

One of the sporting fixtures ar
ranged for the men of the two British
men.of-war now in port, which is GER
tain to attract considerable attention
among local players, is the association
football match to be played tomorrow
afternoon on the lower Punahou
ground, courteously placed at the dis
posal of the players by Professor
.GriiHths Of Oahu College. Unfortun-
ately, the Alexander Field is out of
commission, workmen being engaged
in putting a top dressing on, other
wise that field would have been used.
However, the lower field has done
good duty in the past and will fit the
bill tomorrow afternoon.
Soccer Will open Proceedings.
The association match will be be-
tween a team selected from the local
league and a team from the cruiser
Kent. The Kent players are dandies;
they evinced that in the game they
played here before against a hastily
selected team. On this occasion the
navalmen will be up against the pick
of Honolulu and will be given a much
better tussle, though the chances are
that the sailors will win out ]. M.
Macconel, president of the local asso-
citation, is arranging the local team,
and he reports that he will be able to
put a strong combination into the
field, while Lieut. Napier will arrange
the team from the cruiser.
Rugby to Follow
Following on the soccer match there
will be a game of rugby, in which the
Honolulu rugby players will endeavor
to make something of a showing
against the men-of-warsmen. The local
players have not done much in the
way of practice since the association
was formed, but it is hoped that those
who are new to the game will have
profted by whatever practice they
have been able to get and will be able
to appreciate finer points of play

Two Football Games
For The BritiSherS

which will no doubt be demonstrated
by the Kent players. The cruiser has
a very strong rugby team, having won
the championship of the China station
last year. Since leaving China the
Kent has played four matches, win
ming each of them with ease, and to-
morrow the sailors will probably add
Honolulu's scalp to their belt.
However, the local players want to
break into the game and to interest
others in town, and in this the Kent
players will assist. If it is possible,
and it seems that it is at the moment,
a challenge game between the teams
of the Kent and the Challenger will
be played on Monday afternoon, also
on the lower Punahou ground. These
teams have met before, victory resting
with the Kent, and the Challenger
boys are anxious for their revenge.
This game should demonstrate to the
youth of Honolulu that rugby is as
vigorous game as Juey COulu WISH
to play. The present opportunity is a
great one for footballers to see the
game, and it is hoped that there will
be a large turnout of spectators to
watch the game.
The Honolulu team has not been Sc
lected yet but it is hoped that the fol
lowing men will be on the ground to
offer their services: ]. T. Armitage,
captain; r. P. w. Gray, Hay Water
house, Bill Rice, V. Marcallino, Harold
Godfrey, P. O'Sullivan, o. P. Soares,
Bill Rosa, A. MCGOWAN, F. c. Cleg-
horn, G.. Crozier, H. A. Chillingworth,
J. c. Ewing, J. w. Bains, w. H. Soper
and Fred w. Zeigler.
The soccer game will commence at
3:15 sharp and the rugby game will
start at 4:3O CT Whereabouts.
All interested in rugby and who
wish to get into the game are request
ed to send their names to ]. T. Armi-
tage, of Hopp & Co., or to J. w. Bains
