Points
1ue.oE.WAR STANDING.

Only a point and a half stands be-
tween the 25th Infantry and the 1st
Infantry in the military athletic meet,
with two more events still to be run
off. The tug-of-war finals, and the flag
relay race, which are scheduled for
tomorrow afternoon in connection with
the military pageant at Kapiolani
Park, will decide the athletic cham
pionship of the Hawaiian department,
and the dopesters are busy figuring
probabilities. .--..
The 1st Infantry pulls on the rope
against the End Infantry and as both
teams are at the head of the percent
age column, with four wins and no
losses each, the pull will decide first
and second places in the event. First
counts 10, and second six points. The
25th Infantry pulls the LIST Field Artil-
lery, and on form should win out. This
would give them third place and four
points. In the flag race the 25th is
generally conceded the 16.n1an team
relay, with the 1st Infantry second.
Places count as in the tug-of-war.
If the LIST Infantry wins the tug-of-
war and Is second in the flag relay, the
25th winning the latter event and be-
| ing third in the pull, the final score
will be LIST Inf ASH, 25th' Inf. As,
II the End Infantry wins the tug, the
| 1st will have to- capture the relay to
win out. If, however, the Field Artil-
llery tug-of-war team bests the 25th,
/, the first will still have to win either
: the tug-of-war or the flag relay to beat
out the colored soldiers. The race and
rivalry could1't be keener If made to

The 1st Infantry pulled out today by
| taking first in the Emile baseball re-
lay throw, In which the 25th was elm
MATED yesterday. Up to the last lap
the End Infantry had a slight lead, but
: in the final toss up and down. the polo
field the team threw wild, and came
| in third, with the Cavalry second. The
] win gave the 1st Infantry 7ls much
needed points. In the 100-yard dash
Ithe 1st secured second and third
places, while the 25th got first and
fourth. Travers of the LIST, picked up
second place and three points in the
| half mile run, which was something
of a surprise, the 18th, which many
Thought would make clean sweep,
being held to first and third, when
Rockwell of the 4th Cavalry, just
breasted the tape in fourth place
ahead of Smith of the 25th. =
| The 4th Cavalry won first, third and
fourth places In the sharpshooters'
race, but unfortunately for the horse
soldiers, this event didn't count on the
team score. 81 ~ ( :
| The 100-yard event was won by
Mills of the 25th, with Bray of the list
Infantry second, in 10 1/5, which is
! fast time considering the condition of
/ the turf track The men got OH to an
excellent start given by Ensign Wills.
The 25th put over something Of a
surprise when they captured first
place in the litter race. The 1st In
fantry was touted to win this, but
took second and third, with another
E25th Infantry team fourth. 81.
