IELDFIR|NGOCCUPIED THE
attention OF NATIONAL GUARD

I'd Infantry preferred, but with no IT,
kers. The mere sight of SO much mus
Gle as the five only" showed was too
appalling for the amateurs OF either
organization and they then went on in
pairs fer exhibition purposes. John
and brotheN Mel put up real show for
two rounds with John the winner in
| two straight falls. Their work was
high-class throughout and In common
with the remaining brothers their
physical condition was superb. Sew
eral of the regular captains present at
the ringside expressed their entire
willingness TO have the whole of the
SeaFles family there present enlist in
their respective companies. 1t was
during the preliminaries attendant
upon the first wrestling, match that an
crowd squatted about the ring with
call for Colonel Riley at the tele-
phone. Seargeant Bosworth, master of
ceremonies, hearing the name OF the
colonel called. but not catching the IT,
tie, made the deduction that some hus-
XIV youngster named Riley had accept
ed Sam Searles' oben challenge and
with due solemnity announced that
"the next event will be three-round
wrestling match between Riley If the
1st Hawaiis and Sam Searles.' 1t was
a hit with everybody present, bit the
Colonel failed to accept the opportuni-
ty and Bosworth got his"

/" Corporal Avis CT c company OF the
Guard then stepped jauntily into the
ring and through the announcer stated
that he would like to be accommodate
ed with a three-round go with some
130-pounder before he. Avis, marched
on guard later in the evening. A
lanky Mr.. Jackson of d, I'd Infantry,
Immediately responded to the corpor-
ais expressed desire for little exer-
else before taking up guard duty. and
after few prelimtnaries, certainly
accommodated the enencom" right
abundantly. Loud calls for the t'su-
penumerary" were HEARD during the
progress of the discussion and at its
conclusion the corporal of c was well
worked out for his guard tour. Ben
ME and Comacho then started on the
three-rounds announced for them, but
Bonnie did not finish, since Comacho
landed a jolt in the first round that
was curtains for the pupil Of "D'ck"
Sullivan. Newman of C, and Harding
OF ID, I'd Infantry, then mauled each
other to draw, and Frier and Nor
row eff of the the I'd, wound up the !
show in three smuggling heats with |
Frier getting the decision from the re-
fierce. Altogether, the evening was a
great success and the 500 men and
officers that surrounded the tent fly
stretched upon the sward on Squire |
Damon's pasture, were well pleased
with the efforts of Sergeant Bosworth,
the manager. At the conclusion of
the evening the announcer voiced the
challenge of the I'd Infantry tug of
war team to the men OF the 1st, N. G.
H., the event to take place this after !
noon or evening, and hthe def was
promptly accepted BY the Guard, and
the five Searles were Immediately
called upon to choose their teammates
for the pull. =. .. ~. 4
Has Lucky Escape M. .,.r.., I'D
Thus far no serious illness or acct
dents have marred camp life, although
Lieut.. Thomas C. Spencer, I'd Infan-
try, came very near being on the list.
He was returning on Sunday night !
from q visit to his family at Fort |
Shafter, and while walking up the
first hill out of Moanalua gardens was |
crowded against the low. wall by an
approaching automobile at point of i
the road overlooking a high bank. |
Seeing that the mud guard would |
strike him the officer made a step
backward in the darkness to avoid the
blow and toppled over the wall for a
30-foot fall. Beyond severe knock |
on his head and numerous scratches,
no damage was done, but he was for
tunate in that his fall was broken by
the tree tops into which he plunged at
the beginning of his flight, The dri-
yer of the machine was steering in a |
most erratic manner and as is so often
the case made no effort to return and |
see if any assistance was needed |
Lieutenant Spencer was unable to get
a glance at the number of the machine |
for when its number passed him he
was in full flight to the bottom of the
cliff. .r.. 49,.
