SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, June II.
Twenty-fifth Infantry League
(Final StandingD
YESTERDAYS GAME
L COmpany. 8; + Company.

The deciding game in the Twenty
fifth Infantry inter-company series
for the regimental baseball champion
ship was played yesterday and re-
suited In an l. Company victory. This
game was postponed several times be-
ause of the continued rains and tar
get range duties and the delay weak
|ened the F Company team because of
the departure for the states in the
meantime of two of the strongest F
Company players, Jamison, one OF the
fastest outfielders Of the regiment, and
Rush, who played second base in
style and who was something of a
|stiekman. The substitutes for these
men were both recruits and this line
up made the L Company victory all
the easier. That the final outcome
would have been the same is general
ly conceded by the fans of the post,
but several hundred of them crowded
the stands TO see the contest, anyway.
The regimental championship has
been fairly won by the L Company
team and they deserve the pennant
for their fine fight throughout the Sc
ries and have record Of but one
defeat in the eleven games. That was
In the game with A Company, when
that team got away with the game by
the close score of to 8.

pitchers Of the Twenty-fifth against

but he hadn't the speed to push his
only rival, and clubmate, very hard.
Duke in Form
Duke Kahanamoku entered five
events, Including the relay, and won
them all, which is in itself an enviable
record. 1t was thought by some
critics that If the Champion took part
in the 40, which was considered
rather above his distance, he would
kill his speed for the sprints, but as
it turned out the quarter mile. which
he won with ease, was just what he
needed to get his water cleaving ma
chinery working smoothly. Duke won
by 35 yards, doing the distance in
5.37 AS, which is a Hawaiian record.

Twelve POLOMEN
TURN OUT FOR
PRACTICE
First Play of the Season Shows
That Hawaiian Stick SWING
erS Are Preparing for
Il the Future

The first gun 'of the polo season
was fired yesterday morning, when
twelve players turned out at Moana
lua field for preliminary warm-up
There was but little play, only a
couple of periods OF three-a-side polo
being played, but an unusual amount
of enthusiasm was shown, and the
talkfest which preceded the practice
indicated that the successful invasion
OF California by the Hawaiian team
last winter has given the game here
a great impetus.
The real feature of yesterdays
turnout was staged at the stables ana
not on the field. Sixteen green pony
prospects, purchased on the Coast by
Peter Harmon, the veteran trainer and
stable manager. whose good work did
much last season for the success Of
the team, were up for division among
the local players. This lot cost a
tidy sum, and as only five of the six
teen are even broken to saddle, much
less to the game, 1t will be seen that
1t Is to the future and not to the
present that the polo men are
looking.
Captain Walter Dillingham; retained
six OF these ponies, and the other
ten we're drawn for among some OF
the other players. Five Of the lot
and the other eleven will be turned
out to pasture for a full year. and
VIII be worked with next season.
This is in preparation for another
coast invasion In 1915, and the sport
ing spirit shown by some Of the play
ers, In refusing to sell schooled po-
MES in California, and then disposing
of them to their club mates for
very much smaller figure, in order to
take over and develop new material,
and at the same time keep all the
made ponies on Oahu, is the sort Of
spirit that will some day win the
western championship for Hawaii.
Walter Dillingham; himself has dis
posed of almost all his old ponies,
and intends 70 play very little this
season, and give great deal Of time
TO schooling ponies.
Yesterday there was q two-period
knockabout between teams made up
as follows:
Reds: Guy Macfarlane. B. R. Pey.
ton, Walter Macfarlane.
Whites: F. NJ Andrews, r. McCor-
riston, r. w. Single.
The game ended with two goals for
each side.
In addition there was q walk and
trot game IN which some Of the new
ponies were given gentle schooling.
Walter Dillingham;, Harold Castle,
Sam Baldwin, Arthur Rice. Peter Han
non, Fred Wichin1n and H. g. Smart
took part In this play.
The field was very soggy, and even
had the condition OF the ponies per-
mitted; extended galloping would have
been out Of the question.

SCHMIDT RANKED
AS HIGH CLASS
GOLFER

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland. Though

amateur golf championship by Harold
H. Hilton, the famed English crack OF

cester, Mass, by his pluckys fight, In
the estimation of the British golfers,
established his right to rank with
"Chick" Evans and Fred Herreshoff
as among the greatest young golfers
america has produced.
For Is holes Schmidt made the Eng.
1ishman fight every inch OF the way.
He was out in 80, Hilton in 3S. but
1t was only by running down rs foot
putt for three that Hilton, finally
won at the nineteenth hole.
II Schmidt had had half the luck
that Walter J. Travis. who won the
championship nine years ago, he
would have stood at least four up on
the Englishmans Time and again he
slipped the hole with long puts.
The men were tied on the eigh-
teenth and an extra hole had TO he
played. Hilton outdrove Schmidt off
the tee, but the Massachusetts lad
made up on his second. Hilton. how
ever, holed long putt, and won the
lille in three against Schmidt's four
A gallery of 1000 followed the
match, but the spectators did not dis
turb the American. He was as cool
and as collected at all times as the
most seasoned veteran. He took his
defeat in sportsmanlike fashion.

out as to the establishing of new

bettered his own worlds mark for the
century swim in open water, and
broke the Hawaiian and A. A. u. rec
ords for the 50-yard distance, and the

The best previous performance was
619 3-5 made by Vincent Genoves,
who was third yesterday.
| The relay, which came last on the
program, was one of the prettiest
races of the day, and resulted in a
very close finish between Duke for
the Hui Nalus and George Cunha for
the Healanis, in this second brush
between the two over the 50-yard dis
lance, Cunha took the water trifle
later than Duke, and held his own
right to the finish, being beaten by
a matter of few feet.
Hui NaIu Winner
The Hun Nalu made a clean sweep
of the day, from club standpoint,
taking 81 points to the Healanis 10,
| the Myrtles and Punahous taking. one
point each. Harris, of the Myrtles,
took first place in both the swims for
boys under Is, but these events are
not part of the regular A. A. U. pro-
gram, and do not count as points for
the clubs.
There were So entries in the meet,
and only the average scratches. This
made big fields, and gave the specta-
tors plenty of action. In the plunge
for distance eleven men started, and
as each was given three trials, it took
more than three quarters of an hour
to dispose of the one event This was
the only part of the afternoon that
dragged in any way, and this, of
course, was nobody's fault, but an
unavoidable incident, which in itself
served to show the widespread inter
est in water sports.
Some Dumping.
The 25-yard swim for ladies brought
out three entries Miss Stacker gener-
ously electing to stay out of 1t and
allow one of the other swimmers to
carry off medal Miss Helen Rosa
won, and the fact that she finished
second to Miss Stacker in the so yards
shows that she was entitled to the
victory, but still Miss Edith Kibling
didn't have half a chance in the Is
yards, as she was fouled twice by
Miss Finella Miles. The former won
second place, but had Miss Miles Ia
ken it she would undoubtedly have
been disqualified.
There was record breaking crowd,
the A. A. T. officials being swamped
by the number of persons who clam
ored for admission The tickets were
sold over and over again, and several
hundred were turned away because
there was not square foot OF stand
