fair-sized crowd, the new combination
won the title by defeating the oil re-

form in others. Without making ex-
cuses fer the losers or robbing the
winners of any credit, II must be said
/ IN all fairness that the Eastle-L0wrey
Icombination was far below form.
Lowrey was suffering from a bad
strain, and as soon asrtI1e opposition
spotted him as the weak member or

most entirely at him. 80

Two weeks from today Captain Jack
Bliss and his Royal Venetian Tigers
will set foot ON Hawaiian soil and
three days after win open their series
of baseball games which promise to
be a long.lookedlor treat to the iol
lowers of the game in Honolulu.
The Mongolia mail brought letters
from Bliss. Eddie Maier, Jack McCar-
thy, Fred Snodsrass. representing
Frank Bancroft. and others. stating
that every thing was right and ready
for their trips, and all expressed
selves as well pleased at being able
to spend few weeks in Hawaii
With Eddie Maisr and his party, the
first to come, interest is increasing
daily in the Venitian Tigers, and there
is no doubt but that big crowds will
be. on hand at each game to greet the
mainland crackerJscks.
Bliss has worked hard on the main
land to surround himself with fast
bunch of ball players, and while all Of
them will not be from the Venice team
he has picked the best and added a
coupe of major leaguefs, and two men
from the Portland Coast League cham
pions. Derrick. the first-baseman,
was formerly with the Athletics. while
Lober is rated one OF the fastest out
fielders in the States.
What will make the game in which
Venice plays all tile more interesting
is the fact that the local teams will
be allowed to use any of Bliss players
they desire. Owner Eddie Mailer and
HIS team are coming to Honolulu to
give the fans nigh article of base
ball and will do all in their power to
please them.
With Death Valley. Jim Scott Of
the Chicago White Sox pitching. and
either Bliss or Elliott behind the bat

football THRILLER GOES TO
! PlINAHOuS By I31O0sCORE

The best game Of the present foot
bah season was played at Alexande
field Saturday afternoon last. Kane
hameIa aBd Punahou meeting for n,
second time and the victory going Il
the latter team. 13 to o. The heay,
Ksms. averaging 165 pounds per man
were fayorffes over the Puns. wht
tipped the scale at about 144, but &
form reversal was due and the Blue
and Gold rooters had plenty OF oppor
tunity 70 practise their yells before
the final whistle sounded.
Kan has been developing splendid
team this year. II Is heavy, speedy
and well balanced and gets its plays
off fast and with lots OF drive. Puma
hou, on the other hand, has not been
in It's stride until this week. The men
are all green al their positions and the
two OF three men who have had ex.
perience have been shifted out OF their
old jobs and made TO take up new po.
.kitisons
But somehow or other Kan seems
to have been going too smoothly and
too fast. and came to Pnnahou with
too little realization OF the possibility
Of defeat; whereas, Punahou, driven
hard BY alumni and coaches, has been
learning football and has become
chock lIiII Of fighting spirit.

At the beginn:.g of the game Puma
hou won the toss and chose to kick
/ to Kan at the Eva goal. Quintal kick
ed to Cockett on his 15-yard line. Cock
EFT was downed on his 27-yard line. At
once KAN rushed the ball almost to
the center of the field and there lost
Il on downs. On end runs Punahou
walked right back at Kam's goal, only
to lose the ball on tumble. Twice
this stunt occurred in the first quar-
ter. Though Kan gained more ground
than Punahou in this period, Quintafs
kicks kept the ball in Kam's territory
and when time was called Kan had
the ball on her 26.yard line.
Second Quarter.
At the first oil the second period
Punahou got the ball on downs and
tried drop kick, which failed.
Kan then was forced to kick from
her 23-yard line aid after rushing the
ball to Rams 25.yard line PunahoHI
lined up for another drop kick. This
time Qninfal raised the ball clean and
straight between the bars for a field
goal.
The rest OF the quarter was large
