The footballers from Fort Shafter
are as hdsky a looking bunch of play
ers as ever gathered on local grid
iron. The greater number of them, it
seems, have had considerable expert
.ence in the game, and. after faithful
training. have promised to put up a
stir scrap with the students. From
every standpoint, it is evident that
something good and clean in the way
OF a football is in store for the fans
|at Alexander Field this afternoon. The
admission is twenty-five cents, and the
time is 3:oJ o'clock.

never IN DOUBT

Early next week the management
Of the Oahu League and Athletic Park
will get together to frame a schedule
OF games for the .FisherB Barnes All-Star
aggregation that II due TO arrive here
November 4, to play six games be-
tween that date and November "a,
when the team sails for Australia.
Dates are to besreserved for the All
Chinese team, that will be home from
it's long mainland trip soon, and for
the 18th Infantry, champions of the
Schofield Barracks league. Other
strong teams will be sent against the
big league stars, and altogether, It
looks as though the local baseball
year would wind up in blaze of
glory. -
The $1,700 advance guarantee recuir.

ers to cover transportatio has been
deposited with the Oceanic Steamship
Co., and the fact cabled to the San

of the local promoters, to see. that
Fisher lives up to his end OF the con-
tract, to have In his lineup at least
seven men who finished the season
with clubs of the National or Arnerf:
can league.
Although Mike Fisher has not been
ver-comfnunicatiVe as to his move
ments and plans, he has written one
long explanatory letter to Manager
Marcallino of the Oahu league, since
john S. Barnes closed arrangements
for the local series and left for Aus
tralia. For two weeks past the local
men have been ready to deposit their
guarantee. and the Oceanic company
wac SO notified, but suggested that
the coin be not put up until further
advieea were received from San Franz

habit with the local water men, we

How do they do it? Why have the

that are often asked in connection
with water speed events. .....
There is no doubt that the several
new swimming strokes which have
been devised inthe last few. years are
accountable for the number OF swim

The crawl and it's variations have

record making in these branches of

none Of the clubs, probably remember

Sacramento club announced that it
