Honolulu won ptwo out of three
games and total pinfall from Fort
Mcdowell in the California Y. M. G.
A. bowling league last evening This
gives the local men three out Of four
points in the match and cinches sec

for first place now If any of the teams
can take an occasional game from the
U. s. naval training station
Fort Mcdowell won the first game
hands down by score of 944 to 1923.
The soldiers slumped badly in the
next two while the Honolulu ''Y" roll
ed close to 900 in both. This gave
the islanders the last two games and
they passed their opponents in total
pinfall which resulted 2613 to 2543.
The fine work of j. C. Chamberlin
and Carl Wikander was mainly res
ponsible for the local victory. Wikan.

What healthy Nerves
Mean to You

A strong, vigorous nervous system
means health. strength and ability to
endure hardship and also TO enjoy the
full pleasures of life.
: The man with healthy nerves accom-.
plishes greater tasks with less fatigue.
He has clear eye, an active brain
and a sound body He is enabled to
think better and work faster. He has
energy. With healthy nerves he can
overcome the hardest competition, be
successful and gain wealth.
The woman with healthy nerves is
never listless, weak or hopeless; she
is not irritable. she never suffers from
hysteria, she has q reserved surplus
of endurance. Healthy nerves will
prevent the sleepless mother, although
worn with care and nursing, from q
break down" caused by her double
or treble duty.
All men and women who suffer
from these forms of nervousness -
known as NeuraEthenia--who have

who have insomnia, who have sue.

CROSS COUNTRY
RUN FEATURES
STAR runners
Event Scheduled for Today at
Punahou Campus at
3 O'clock

Should the Kamehameha cross
country squad finish first this after.
noon in the Cornell cross country
run, that school will be awarded the
Lydgate trophy for winning three
years in succession. Kamehameha
has won every cross country event
since the establishment of the feature
by the Cornell alumni, and the team
this afternoon will be the favorite in
the event.
Punahou was second tor two years.
but last year Mills sprang a surprise
and won out from the Punahou and
ST. Louis runners. This year the
Mills team has been training for the
event, and this squad will be the dark
horse in the run. 1t would not be at
all surprising to see the Mills team
in second position il rot the winner
at the finish.
Stanley Carey OF st. Louis has been
the individual winner for two years
and his teammates expect him to
romp home ahead once more. Joe
Stickney of Mckinley, Machado of
Kamehameha, Chun Lee Puck of
Mills are other stars who are given a
chance for first place. Jere Smith
Of Punahou will not run, which great
ly weakens the Buff and Blue squad.
The event will begin at Punahou
campus at p. m. Admission free.

Sterling tennis was on the program
yesterday afternoon at the Pacific
Courts, and the spectators who gath
cred to watch the work of the main
land stars were treated to an. excellent
exhibition given by two local players,
William Hogs and William Warren.
These two boys were pitted against
Clarence Griffin and Ward Dawson,
and their great playing throughout
three sets earned them the plaudits
of the large crowd present
Griffin and Dawson won out, but not
until the local players had been worn
down by the clever play of the visitors.
Time and again the locals played shots
fully up to the standard OF the visit.
ors, and for individual play they made
more difficult returns than did the two
players who recently won the Manila
doubles champic nship.
Local PLAYERS Star.
Most of the spectators expected to
find the second match the banner one
Of the day, but they were disappointed
In this respect, as Warren and Hoogs
annexed all of the local hpnors in. the.
tennis field yesterday afternoon. They
lost the first set In straight points, but
three line smashes at the net gave
them the second game Of the first set.
From that time on the two players
were on top Of their game, and great
serving by Hoogs and clever returns
by Warren gave the locals the first
set.
The class OF play of the locals in
the first set. far exceeded the play Of
the day before and the rallying was
enc OF the bright features of the after
noon. Warren was on the alert at all
times, and several times returned
Dawson's hard smashes at the net for
a point. The locals played excellent
tennis in the second set, but In the
third the head work Of the visitors
showed to advantage, and they had

ed to be a wizard. Failure to score
at the net was the principal objection
to his work.
Castle Off Form.
Castle failed on number of occa-
sions to return easy drives by Wright
and on one occasion the two players
became mixed and Castle forgot to
make the return. His serving, al
though rather weak, was sure and on
,lohs- in his territory played fairly
good tennis. Castle and Eklund were
clearly outclassed at the opening of
the match, and the principal points
made were on poor returns by the op-
.ponents.
This afternoon at O'clock the fin
ais of the doubles will be staged and
the devotees of the racquet game are
looking forward to a great exhibition
Of tennis. Wright and Lowrey are
certain to play different type Of
game than the visitors were forced to
meet to-day, and the many spectators
believe that the match will go five
sets. AT any rate it should be a
great match, and Wright VIII have in

STAR RUNNERS
FOR MEET FROM
18th INFANTRY

Last year the 25th Infantry track
team was victorious IN the military
athletic meet and the star athletes are
again making every effort to finish in
front of the field again this year. Not.
withstanding the strong aggregations
from the other regiments the colored
soldiers feel that they will romp home
ahead on the cinder path.
In Mills and Gilbert the 25th will
have two sprinters who have made
the century in 10.1. Mills made a
good impression on the coast, and in
the preliminary meets this year
showed that he could run the 100
yards in close to even time. Gilbert
also finishes well in the sprint event.
In the furlong Ware and Saunders
viii also enter, giving the 25th four
good men. 1t is certain that one of
the quartet will hit the tape around
:23. f.. -"
Harrison, who won the half-milc
event last year. is again entered and
expects to lead the field again. He
made. 2:08 on number of occasions
and was the second man in the A. Al.
u. half-mile event, running for Ka-
mehameha. Owens has made fast
time in the $50. this year, and is ex-
pecteds to. finish well. Pride and Smith
will also enter this event.
Fast Relay Team.
Prospects appear to be unusually
bright for a good position in the
relay from } Schofield to
Honolulu. The teams were over the
course yesterday and made the dis
lance in fast time The 25th men ex-
pect to have a hard fight to win from
the 4th Cavalry, LIST Field Artillery
and End Infantry teams, and although
the LIST Infantry is favorite at pres
emit, they expect Wimp to outrun
Quinn to the tape. .-s.@
In addition to Wimp, who has made
the best time, the 25th will have
Zeno, Mitchell, Scott,
Armsted, Morehead, Watts and
Blythe. Many of these men have
made good time for three miles and
the race will be an exciting one from
start to finish. The largest number
Of points will be given to the winner
Of this event, and the colored soldiers
will make every effort to finish
