operation was severe but the patient

out in Irish green costume. piped in

have had something to do with the

To my mind, golf is the ideal sport
for the ordinary man who is in bust
ness and wants to be freshened up.
This game will keep even the sea
soned athlete in condition throughout
the winter, and yet it is no such
strain on the body as more violent
exercise is bound to be when it is
taken irregularly. Another advan-
tage Of golf is that it clears the mind
of everything but golf while it is be-
ing played. No man can go over a

of anything lse.

NATIONAL GUARD
DOORBASEBALL
SERIES TO START
Nine Companies and Hospital
Corps Will Probably Have
Teams in the Race

The indoor baseball league Of the
National Guard OF Hawaii will be
launched next week when probably
nine company teams and the hospital
CORPS will start the race for pennant
hOnUrs There is lot OF enthusiasm
amc ng the guardsmen and the chances
are that some crack contests will come
out Of the intense rivalry that exists
between organizations.
Last night at the armory Lieut.. p.
J.. Smoot, regimental athletic officer,
outlined plans for the series before
a meeting of company officers and ii
was decided to leave the arrangement
of the schedule in his hands. All the
companies stationed at Honolulu, with
the exception of E and X. have sig
nified their intention of entering
teams, and these are still to be heard
from.
Entries will close Thursday night
and the opening game will probably
be played next Monday night The
tentative plan, provided that every or
GaniZatiOn is represented, is to bring
together every night for the first
week the two companies that share
NV al hiOiy VII LlISll regular uIlll
night Drill will be suspended for the
first game for each company, in or
der to get the teams off to good
start. Afterwards games will be
started at S:45 and companies will not
play games on their regular drill
nights. This will save the floor for
military purposes for an hour and a
quarter drill for every company. Only
bona fide members Of companies will
be allowed to play on the teams and
eligibility will also depend upon reg
ularity Of attendance at drill.
A number OF practise games have
been played already and indications
point to keenly contested and inter-
esting series.

t vas Coach HdughtOn Of Harvard
who remarked something about not
play ing football for tie beneht OF the
public when d request vas made that
the players wear numbers. The pub
lie be damned stuff is out Of date,
and sooner or later the colleges Will
find it necessary to pay some atten-
ton to the spectator. Princeton sur
prlsed Harvard and Boston by appear
ing on the field with every player
numbered This is no more than right.
Football is different from baseball in
the matter of identifying the central
figures in interesting plays. II Is easy
in baseball, but when II comes to the
grid game one is lost unless he knows
the players, and even then they are
often disguised in armOr. WHO did
it," is the customary question at
football game after great play. The
answer is as often wrong as right. 1t
is really astonishing how little atten-
ton is given to those details which
would make football interesting for
the spectator.
George Patching, the South African
sprinter and holder of the English rec
ord at As seconds for the hundred,
Is reported to have become profess
sional. He is seeking a match with
either Jack Donaldson or Appelgarth.
Donaldson and Appelgarth have been
matched to run 100 yards at the
BroughtCn Rangers Football Club
grounds, in England, on November %.
~ I,n
On sprinting thought Donaldson would
never consent to tackle Appelgarth
for any distance less than 1870 yards;
but the stake of $500 a side, with a
possibility of some fat betting on the
side, Is very tempting in slack times.
Donaldson has been credited with
stepping the 100 yards in 912 seconds,
and is regarded as the greatest sprint
er of the generation.
There will be a meeting this eve

more clubs will be admitted tonight
and schedule framed.
