1t began with the very first
championship. In this one nobody
knew anything about anybody else,
except that there was a general
suspicion that j. T. Lupton, of
Chattanooga, was the South's best
player. This was false alarm.

Of how hot a favorite he became it

began and tried to devise some
scheme by which they could bar
him from the event on the ground

been picked for the winner of the
next tournament. But he wasn't
picked Not by vast majority
For in 1908 ex-National Champion
II. Chandler Egan. one of the
grandest golfers that the country
ever knew. moved to Louisville to
live, and he was entered from the
Louisville club. When he was, the
Southern golfers threw up their
hands and there were loud cries of
Help, help" The Louisville golf
ers were execrated for spelling a
good tournament with sure win
ner. Egan won the qualifying
score prize and sailed blandly to
the finals, where Nelson Whitney
defeated him, As! And the Louis
vile golfng delegation hasn't
looked the same since.
The year 1909 saw the downfall
of another torrid favorite. For the
first time in history Ellis Knowles,
of Pensacola, Fla, former intercol-
legiate champion and really great
golfer, played in the tournament.
1t was presumed that he had the
thing cinched. But the best he could
do was to tie for the low score
prize (and lose in the piayofD. and
to expire in the semi finals at the
hands of one of the South's great
veterans, Jack Burlington, Of Mem
phis Darlington downed oliver in
the finals and won the tournament.
The 1910 tournament was some
thing of freak. Ellis Knowles
continued the favorite. And it
looked even more cinchy when F.
G. Byrd, Jack Burlington. champion
of the previous year, and Bill
Stauffer were all taken i'll the day
the tournament started. Jack Ed
rington got out of a sick bed, de-
feated Knowles, went to bed again
and defaulted. r. G. Byrd and
"Rube" Bush lasted to the finals.
And the latter golfer then became
the rank favorite. But Byrd defeat
ed him with painful ease and
grabbed the title.
Yea, verify, it's hard to pick a
winner in a Southern golf cham
pion But you can get rich bet
ting against the favorites.

DESERTS FROM ARMY To NAVY;
POLICE CApTORs DENIED REWARD
Case of Private Gberge Unique in Annals of Army-Breaks
From City Prison to Tell of His ACCOMPLISHMENTS
and Turned Over to NAVY

The army, the navy and the local
police are trying to settle three
cornered complication over the pay
ment Of a reward for the capture of a
military deserter. The case is unique
in the annals Of the army, and while
the equity is apparent, it's a question
whether or not red tape will strangle
right.
Private John Giberge, of the First
Field Artillery, some days ago tired
of the peaceful life of Leilehua, jump
ed the Post, and, out Of either child
ish simplicity or supreme bravado, en-
listed in the navy right here in Homo
lulu. A day os so afterward
he was pointed out to the police as an
army deserter, and landed in Jail
Bolts and bars had no terrors for
the soldier-sailor, and he calmly walk
ed out of confinement, and started
down the line to tell all his friends
how easy it was to break Jail. His
boastings reached the police station,
and Private-Seaman Giberge also
reached there soon.
He loudly claimed that he was
naval man, and SO the police notified
the naval station, and Giberge was
marched off by a marine guard. 1t
took the navy but a short time to find
out that the prisoner was an army
deserter, and he was promptly turned

over to Fort Shafter, incidentally be,
ing taken to that Post in an ambu,
lance, his many adventures with two
kinds of bars having proved too much
for his constitution.
Now the question of the $50 reward
for the apprehension of deserter has
come up, and the army is at a dead.
lock. The authorities realize that the
entire credit for the capture was due
the police, and they are anxious to
pay over the money, but the regula-
tons state that in order to claim re-
ward, a deserter must be turned over
to the nearest military post. In this
instance the police turned the man
over to the navy, acting in good faith,
and the navy handed him back to the
army. "
Its just the sort of good work that
the police did in this case that we are
trying to encourage" said an army
officer this morning. And now we
are tied up about giving the reward.
The police aren't supposed to know
all the ms and outs of the army regu-
lations, and when they turned the man
over to. the navy they supposed they
were doing the right thing. They have
now put in a formal claim, and we will
do everything possible to see that it is
allowed" =
Giberge will be court martialed at
Fort Shafter in the near future.

DEFENSE BOARD
COVERS EVERY
FOOT OF OAHU

When the board of army officers
now in session here to lay plans 'to
make the Island of Oahu i1npragna-
bIe," completes it's work. it will have
gone over the island with fine-tooth
comb and collected a mass of staisIi-
cal military information of the great
est value to future developments.
The board is in session almost ev-
cry day at department headquarters.
For the first two weeks Lieutenant
Colonel Morrison and Major Blakely
made many auto 4trips to various
points along the coast and in the In
terror to familiarizeE themselves with
the lay of the land and the strategical
possibilities. General Macomb, presid-
ing officer of the board, and Major
Wooten, its fOurth>>member, knowing
every foot of Oahu, did not take part
in these excursions.
Now, however, the visiting officers
have a good working idea of the
country, and the board is getting down
to the hard work of evolving plans for
further Notifications, and laying out
a general scheme Of defense for Ha-
waii.
This work is being done in the
strictest secrecy, not an inkling OF
what plans are in the air having been
given out Even the probable length
Of time the boards work will take Is
not known, although the guess is that
by the middle of September its reports
will be ready for Washington.

$4,000 SCHOOL

Ground is about to be broken for
the construction of the new Kaulu'
wela school building, which is to be
a ten-room concrete structure valued
at $4,000, acordfcng to Inspector
Gibson of the Department of Educa'
ton, who was discussing the project
ed school this morning. With the
opening of this school is involved the
| removal of the fence about the Boy S
Field now under lease by the Young
Mems Christian Association, and the
cutting of a lane from School street
directly through the site Of the pres
ent Kauluwela school.
According to the school inspector,
the new site will be several feet to
the rear of the present site and is to
be built so as the entrance Will be
toward the new lane, while the rear
of the building will face the present
Poys Field.
This will neceSsitate the removal
of the fence at present surrounding
the field and the enclosure which is
now under lease for the Boys Clubs
by the Y. NJ. c. A. will be turned into
the school playground and will be
accessible TO all of the children OF
the city any any time Of the day.
The land which is comprised by the
boys field is owned by the govern
ment and is leased to the ~ Young
Mems Christian Association for dol
lar MONTH AS the lease which the
association holds will not expire for
some time, it is necessary for the
school authorities to come to an agree
ment with General Secretary Super
of the Y. NJ. G.. A. before carrying out
their plans.
According to the General Secretary,
he is interested in the idea and spent
a part of yesterday morning with the
governor in connection with the prof.
ect. At present, final arrangements
have not been made, as Superintend-
ent Pope is in Eilo, but Inspector Glib
son spoke enthusiastically regarding the
project and made the statement that
there would be no trouble in adjusting
these matters and that work on the
school would be commenced soon.
