NO MARATHON RACE
FOR ANOTHER MONTH
PRESENT OUTLOOK
Fort De Russy Runners Willing
to Take on Soldier King but
Want Time to Train

According to Soldier King there
will be no race between himself anC
relay team for at least a month
King is willing to go the distance
with a couple CT weeks training, but
his prospective opponents need more
time to prepare themselves, and from
business standpoint King thinks
that postpOnement would be to the
advantage of all.
Yesterday the receIE ly-returneG
champion went out to Fort De Russy
and had chat with the three En-
gineer Corps men who have express
ed willingness to take him on in
15-mile race. He says they are a
likely trio, and that he quite appre
Ciates their desire TO get into better
condition, and is quite willing to wait
One of the three, Bernstein, seems
to be something of an ink singer, as
well as a cinder spiker, for he has
come out with the following letter
published in the morning paper:
I'VE have read of Soldier Kings
desire TO meet us in relay race, we
to run the relay and he the race. A
spectacular race, indeed! Here, al
low me to say that King has a little
100 much confidence in his ability as
a runner, or else he must look upon
us as being, in plain speech, no good
at his game. Now, we hope some
day, soon, to give him a surprise, but
for the present, must stand by and
look on. No one knows why, better
than King, who, being an ex-soldier,
must fully appreciate the difficulties
che in that occupation must undergo
to train for the road. His unrestrict
ed training under the guidance Of a
man who knows how to train and has
the liberty to keep him in the proper
food for that training, gives him an
advantage over us which we fully an
preciate, but know We can conquer in
time.
Having been in this country, but
a short while, it behooves us to be-
come little more used to the
strengthening hardships one must
undergo while trying to make record
time in this tropic land. However,
giving King all the credit due him,
and respecting him. as worthy man
to benz N a race, allow nsesto state1
that we Will be glad to have him
test our mettle some later day when
we will be satisfied that we are in
condition to do our best Incidental
ly, we made good in our nine-mile
jaunt Sunday morning which, how
ever, caused a bad swelling in the
foote that Cook" Moss broke while
contending for mile honors with. the
best in the States. However, with
careful treatment, we hope to have
him on the road again in a short
while.

PLAY
FOR DAVISCUP

England's lawn tennis players are
displeased with the United States.
This was largely the cause of the
British Isles team for the Davis Inter
national Challenge Cup matches de-
Gliding to sail directly for Australia
instead of visiting this country and
playing the final ties, as was done last
year
The team that will represent the
British Isles is composed of c. P.
Dixon, captain; A. E. Beamish, F. G..
Lowe and John G. Parke. The four
players sailed on September II. They
expect to arrive in Melbourne about
October Fl. The challenge matches
for the world-famous cup will prob
ably be played the latter part of No
vember
1t is understood that the Australia
sian defenders are again to rely upon
Norman E. Brookes, Rod Heath and
A. w. Dunlop. The singles competi-
lions are to be looked after by Brookes
and Heath, while the doubles will
bring out Brookes and Dunlop, whom
even the English critics regard as in
vinsible. The Britons pin their faith
in returning the cup to England upon
taking both matches from Heath and
at least one of the singles from
Brookes, which will give the necessary
three points out of the series of five
matches.

PLENTY OF FREAK
PLAYS IN MAJORS

CHICACO.-There are freak plays
and freak plays in baseball. Two OF
them which occurred within the short
space of five days on Comisky Park
are doubly interesting. They belong
to the unusual and also furnisK con-
crete refutation of popular fallacy
which seems to have no other fOun-
dation than tradition.
AS often as once fortnight during
the playing season some other player
or manager from the country or near
by prairies sends in query seeking
to know if a team in the field is not
prohibited from using more than
three or four men in the act of run
ming out an opponent who has been
caught between bases.
Where the idea originated cannot
be guessed, but doubtless from ira
dition. At least it is from the same
source as the ideas which still per
tain to the effect that batsman is
out automatically if he fails to run
to first base Immediately or that
be can he put out if an opponent gets
ball and crosses first base line ahead
of the runner without touching him
or the base.
Queer Mix-Up.
The Washington team. which Is
composed of youngsters. pulled u
double play on the White SoX in the
last game of their June series in
Chicago, in which more than half
the fielders were involved, although
not all of those drawn into it actually

STRENGTH OF A.
SPIDERS WEB

The strength of the spider and Of
the materials it employs is something
almost incomprehensible, when the
size of the insect and the thickness Of
his thread are taken into account,
says the New York Press. Recent ex-
periments have shown that single
thread of a web made by spider sup
ported endwise weight "A times the
weight of the spider itself.
When, therefore, a spider spins a
web to let himself down from the cell
ing, or from the branch of tree, and
we see him descending without per-
ceiving his thread at all, we may be
perfectly sure that he is not only in no
danger of falling, but that he could
carry 73 other spiders down with him
on his invisible rope Knowing this
fact with reference to a single thread,
we need not be surprised that the
threads of a web, interviewer and re-
one BY another, have very
considerable strength, and are able to
hold bees and wasps, themselves very
powerful in proportion to their. size,
and to bend without breaking under a
weight of dew or rain.

chased Rath back toward third, then
tossed the ball to Foster, who ran
Rath toward the plate. Now, it was
the play for Johnson or Mcbride to
take third base as soon as Foster left
it. Instead the pitcher ran to the
plate, where Ainsmith was, and Nc,
Bride remained near second.
Foster coulu not catch Rath, so
passed the ball to Ainsmith, and the
catcher started running Rath back to
third Failing to overtake the run
ner, Ainsmith made throw toward
third, but nobody was there, and
Rath landed in safety. Shanks had
run in from left field close behind
third and got the ball quickly. Lord
had advanced close to third and could
not gain safety at that base after
Rath returned to it, so started back
to second, with Shanks in Pursuit
Shanks chased Lord and threw to
Morgan at second. whereupon Lord
doubled on his tracks and Shanks
was given the ball again. This time
he tagged Lord While they were
doing that Rath started home and

were five players involved in addi-

Y BOWERS ARE
GOING AHEAD
WITH PLANS

The bowlers are in something OF a
quandary over the organization of the
~" winter league, owing to the fact
that the teams shape up somewhat I'M
evenly, and there is chance of its
being a runaway race for a couple
of them. At least, that was the bur-
den of the discussion held at yester-
days meeting of the executive com
mittee, when it met to complete final
arrangements for the opening of the
alley season.
The suggestion was made that it.
would be better to let the six cap
tains draw for choice, and then let
them pick from the AZ players who
have already signified their desire to
play. six teams of seven men each. as
nearly equal in strength as possible.
The original plan was to let the teams
organize as they desired, and take the
field intact After an hours talk yes
terday noon, the, committee could
come to no definite decision, and II
was decided to leave it up to the
players themselves at ! q meeting to
be held next Thursday.
There is something to be said on
both sides of the question, for while
it might kill the interest to have two
very strong teams and four mediocre
ones in the race, it would still be a
race between definite clubs, not a
contest between picked teams, the,
members of which were not held to-
gether by any ties of mutual interest
or friendship 1t is not unlikely that
to divide up the players, breaking up
combinations that played together last
year and that had figured on remain
ing intact this season, would do more
harm than good to the sport How
ever, it's up to the men themselves
now, and they will have several days
to think the problem over before be-
ing called on for decision.
1t was decided to make a short Sc
ries Of it, each team to play two
matches of three games each, games
to count, against every other team
This will finish the schedule in a cou-
pie of months, when. the way will then
be clear for either an individual tour
nament or two-man-team competi-
ton. 81.
-, The committee which met yesterday
to consider the organization problems,
and which is still in charge of league
affairs, is as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL HAS
PROMISING SQUAD
twenty-five Candidates Have
Turned Out at Mckinley and
Coaches Find Good Material

The Mckinley High School boys are
showing spirit and pluck this year
which reflect a great deal of credit
on them. In previous years they have
relinquished the first place in football
to their rival Punahou, but only after
q determined struggle. This year,
however, the boys are going into the
game to win, and are ably assisted
by p. n Folsom, director Of athletics;
A. L. Hall and F. NJ. Friesell, coaches
Mr.. Folsom deserves a good deal
OF credit for the interest he has shown
In the team. He does not claim to
be a professional coach, but each year
he turns out with the boys and gives
his afternoons to them, and they in
turn do their best for him.
Mr.. Hall is a graduate OF the Uni
yersity OF Illinois and was a star
quarterback on the college team.
q Mr.. Friesell is a welLknown ath-
lete In Honolulu. He takes great in
terest in the Mckinley boys and gives
- much of his spare time as possible

More Preliminary Work.
Mr.. Folsom has come to the conclu-
sion that previously the boys have not
had enough preliminary practise, and
II is his intention this year to lay spe-
cial stress on that subject The boys
will be drilled in passing, punting and
special team work
More interest has been displayed
this year in football than in any year
previous. Twenty-Five boys turned ont

team. William Rosa, last years cap

WHAT the series between the New
York Giants and Boston Red Sox
for the baseball championship OF
the world, which begins today, is
the most important in the history OF
the national game, seems to be the
consensus of opinion among Eastern
baseball writer's. From year to year,
it is true, the same announcement mas
been made but probably from year
to year such has been the case. Base
ball has not yet reached it's zenith, as
larger and more orderly crowds, bet
ter brand of ball, and more insist
ent demand from the general public
for news of the game and the players
conclusively show.
So when the baseball wiseacfes
come out with the announcements that
this worlds series will be the greatest
ever, their word might as well be &C
copied. At that, they do not pretend
to predict that the playing will be bet
ter or more exciting than in former
years, but merely that the great
American public is tuned to higher
pitch of expectation, and that there is
more at stake from the standpoint OF
both sport and finance than ever be-
fore.
The Red Sox, on account of their
great work in the American League,
seem to have been installed slight ia
vorites, even in the Giants home
town, where the betting odds were

BAUERSOCK WILLING
TO FIGHT MADISON

Sergeant Bauersock of the
Fifth cavalry has expressed his
willingness to meet Eddie Madi-
son in a return engagement, and
there seems to be no reason why
these two shouldn't get together
and fight out the question of SUI
. premacy, which was still unde-
cided when Bauersock was
awarded the last fight on foul.
Bauersock has covered Madf-
sons forfeit money, put up with
the sporting editor of the Adver-
tiser, and agrees to the latter's
proviso that the referee should
be chosen by the sporting editors
of the local papers. 1t now re-
mains for the men to get togeth-
er and arrange the details.

ner in the back. Seeing that, Bodie
who had gone to second, started on
the run for third, but Gardner, who
was backing up first base. grabbed
the ball as it bounded off Weaver
and kept Fourier from going home
from third. Then the Yankees had
two men trapped on third base, with
chance to get one of them surely
and perhaps both.
Fast Thinking Needed.
Gardner tossed the ball to Stump,
cutting off Bodies retreat to second
base, and the shortstop and third
baseman, Hartzell, started to run
down Bodie. Under cover of that
play Fourier tried to sneak home, but
a throw to Sweeney headed him eff.
The Frenchman then gave the Yam
KEGS a chase, so that Bodie and
Weaver, who had returned to second
and first n safety, could move up a
base apiece. But the Yankees left
third base and got there safely, but
Weaver was on top of the keystone
found Daniels had come in from right
field to take charge Of that base.
The ball was thrown to Daniels,
who apparently lost his head and
subsequently lost the play. He start
ed chasing Weaver toward second
but it takes a fast man to overtake
Weaver. While this sprinting race
was on Fournier broke for the plate
again. and Bodie sneaked to third

to make a belated throw to the plate,
which was easily beaten by Fournier.

hold on the public fancy that unless
Iris Speaker broke a leg and; Joe
Wood, an. arm, StahPs players would
probably; go to. the post odds on. ss
The Giants, -s0f course, have plenty
of support, both moral and financial.
That they are long shots this year
doesn't even mean that they are not
getting equally as much support as
Boston, for it may be that the Red
SoX enthusiasts are so carried away
with enthusiasm that they are giving
odds where they could get on at even
money if they held out for it. This
sort of thing sometimes happens, and
it's .cinch that New York bettors
coming.
Here in Honolulu the general sentf-
ment throughout the East is reflected,
and what bets have been made have
been at an average of 10 to 81.
Among baseball players and fans, and
around the places where fans congre-
gate, Boston seems to be the hot tip.
No one can advance any very definite
reasons why the Red Sox should have
more than an even break with the
Giants, for, of course, all the informa-
ton received here is second or third
hand: but people have their opinions
just the same.
There is more local interest than
was shown last year, or, at any rate,
the fans are talking more about the
games. Betting on the first game Is
even money, owing to the fact that
the series opens at the Polo. Grounds,
which is figured to give the Giants
considerable advantage.

RED SOK HAVE

SAYS JENNINGS
Detroit Manager Declared Nc

BY RALPH [. YoNkER.

Red Sox outfield-$50 $1,000.
Offered these two valuable pack
ages. Hughie Jennings would take the
players.
That is, Jennings considers Speak
er, Lewis and Hooper worth $4,000 cold
bones.
Yet Jake Stahl, manager of the Bos-
ton team, would sneer at that price.
Jake says that there isn't money
enoughsin baseball to buy these three
men from the Boston club.
Jake has heard Of hyperbole and has
made excellent use of the figure OF
speech. but it is certain that he woald
not consider the price Jennings named.
But. of course, Hughie would be the
purchaser Stahl ,the seller That
makes much difference.
Except for their difference In point
of view, both managers are well
qualified to talk OF both bailplayers

the men take care o. themselves. They
are all young men, Speaker, at the
age of 30, being the Oldest In the lot,
and with moderate living should last
until 1920.
Stahl says that all three men take
excellent care Of themselves. and that
they will last for ten years yet IN the
majors. Speaker has farm down n
Texas; Lewis and Hooper come from
the sunny coast OF California.
Speaker Is the most valuable man
cause he is more sensational He -
the glitter of the Boston outfield for
the same reason that Cobb ID the bril-
liant light Of the Tiger far gardens.
He pulls or more spectacular catches,
he hits better and, he Is more speedy
and daring on the bases.
Furthermore, Speaker has had the
most publicity. He is the best known
of the three men, and therefore Is the
best drawing card.
For these reasons, Iris would be
worth half of the $4,000, with Duffy
Lewis bringing $4,000 and Hooper
$4,000.
Taken all in all, this trio Is worth
more than any other big league out
field today.
Jake to Stand Pat.
Jake Stahl expects his team to be
intact next year. While he watches
the Tigers and other teams develop
ing new men for the 1913 season. he Is
content with the assurance that hts
men are fit for another season just as
they are.
But, of course, he isn't going TO

He is picking up youngsters, especial
