BIG LEAGUERS

That the Giants and the White Sox
may give Honolulu the go-by on their
foreign trip next autumn, is indicated
by stories in the coast papers. 1t now
appears that the -Comiskey
combination intends to take the north
ern route to Japan and the Orient,

The New York Giants, with the ia
nous NcGraw in command, and the
Chicago White Sox, headed by the re-
nowned Charley Comiskey, will play
two games in Seattle next fall, the
exact date to be announced later.
These two teams have planned a
world tour, and before sailing they
will play in every city in the north

Orient from Vancouver on Nov. 5.
This will give the Seattle fans a

MANY HEALANI
swimmers OUT

With the annual A. A. U. swim
ming meet little more than two
weeks away, interest in the coming
event is becoming daily quickened n
local aquatic sport circles. This is
especially noticeable at the Healani
boat club, where each evening from
$3.50 until O'Clock the broad stretch
of water in front of the clubhouse is
alive with swimmers, champions and
novices alike, who are faithfully train
ing in the endeavor to bring home the
bacon in the June meet for the green
and white resort.
Every Healani man who knows the
first thing about swimming is going
in for the meet" said one of the MEM
bers of the club yesterday afternoon,
land we have every confidence that
some of the honors will come our
way"
The Healani club now has among its
mers of the city. Among these is
''Hanawaki" Kruger. dubbed as the
best interscholastic long distance
swimmer. Kruger's performance in
the recent interscholastic swimming
meet which was held at the Alakea
slip has not only proved this. but it
also proves that he is find" and
that he will develop into something far
better than the average amateur
swimmer. Then there are the three
Cunha brothers, Lawrence, the oldest,
being the best all-around swimmer Of
which the Healanis boast. Other MEM
bers, too numerous to mention. have
expressed a desire to enter the meet,
and are now in the midst of a period
of griIling practice and training. The
outlook is very good for the Healanis.
and the enthusiasm which they are
taking in the coming meet will doubt
less prove to be the biggest factor in
their putting out championship
team.

BRITISH PONIES
Have The CLASS

NEW YORK-American polo ex-
perts who have had an opportunity to
look over the ponies to be ridden by
the English team during the coming
international play for the Westches-
ter cup. are vastly impressed with
the class of the imported mounts.
The forty-four ponies which arrived
recently are .quartered at the Piping
Rock Club stables at Locust Valley,
Long Island, in charge Of a large
SQUAD of grooms Thus far they have
been only lightly exercised in order
to accustom them to the turf after the
long ocean voyage. The invading
players say that while the team Is
perhaps not quite as strong as the
1911 combination, the ponies are far
superior to those ridden two years
ago.
