Ii is doubtful if there is an aviator
in the world who will take more dare
devil chances than Thompson. His
wonderful performances cause specta'
tors to gaze in almost GREATNESS
amazement At tremendous altitude
when his machine looks like mere
speck in the air. he loops-the-loop, does
the spiral glide. and goes through other
wonderful stunts with apparently as
much ease and composure as an or
binary man would in a gymnasium.
Thompson has been among the stall
attractions at the Louisiana State
Fair the past two years, and each veal
he has new thrills in his repertoire
Since performing here the last time HI
has gained much additional fame by
flying at night over New York. ant

ease, that was particularly noticeable

In the growing darkness Wright con-

RAGING DRIVERS
ARRIVE FOR AUTO
GRIND THIS week

With the arrival of Joe Wolters, mo-
torcyclist, on the Great Northern and
Lou Candy on the Manoa the interest
in the coming automobile races at ka-
piolani Park is moving along in fine
fashion Wolters has a good record
as a motor man and his two high pow
er machines will be used in exhibitions
at the track on Saturday afternoon.
The track was in fair condition last
night, and may be in shape for the
fast exhibitions that are promised.
Waterman. who is already here, has
made good record in auto racing, and
according to his press agent he is a
worlds record holder. Inasmuch as
the official records do not mention
Waterman's name, there must be some
slip of the kind that was made by the
press agent when he announced that
Harry Grant would appear at the local
track. H.: .....
Waterman Good Driver. a..
Waterman has a victory over Bar
ney Oldfield in road race to his cred.
it, and, giving him his due, he has a
very good standing among road racers.
Lou Candy, who arrived this morning,
is another speed merchant who has
made good time on the dirt tracks. In
addition to Candy two other drivers
arrived this morning on the Manoa.
Jim Parsons, who captured the Ia
coma road race, was scheduled to APP
pear here, and Parsons surely would
have been a good card, but the coast
speed man failed to make an appear
ance in Hawaii, and the other drivers
will take his place in the various
events. ..... ~
Local Men to Race.
j Local men will perform in the mo-
torcycle events, and this promises to
be one of the features of the day.
There are a number of stars in the
city who have made mighty good time
in the motor events, and If the track
Is in condition some good time should
be the result of their efforts. Fifteen
speed men from Honolulu will appear
in the races, which gives this end of
the program good start.
The committee on arrangements has
selected an excellent committee for
the race events, all the members Of
which have had experience In speed
tests. The list of officials is as fol-
lows: Referee, Walter F. Dillingham;;
starter, Jack Morrill,; timers, Lester
Petrie and Robert Homer; technical
committee, J. F. McCorkel and Frank
Shaner; clerk of course, B. F. Holm

- 81 p Z :
Shortly after the lowing herd had
cone the necessary winding over the
lea, and minutes after the festive
board had been spread for the tennis
enthusiasts TO partake of the goodly
things to eat, Beals Wright, former
national champion In tennis, smashed
a hard drive to the side. of the court
that Hogs could not reach, and the
first day OF the tennis singles was
over, and the hungry spectators jour.
Keyed home to their dinners.
Despite the fact that the cleaning
arrived before the completion of the
third set or the last match, the spec
tators stayed. at their posts waiting for
something to happen. The something
did happen and Beals Wright earned
his way into the second round by play.
Ing consistent tennis throughout.
Hogs Plays Great Tennis.
William Hoogs was the opponent for
ire former title holder, and the visitor
Z no call to state that his rival was
Not 9 worthy one. Hogs played re,
unrkable tennis m the first set His
exhibItIon b Icl0rne and placement,
together with perfect serving. caused
the spectators TO cheer his work on 4
number of occasions, and Beals
Wright, who has been the hero Of
many tennis matches, was forced 10
allow the youthful player to take the
limelight. Hoogs showed all of his
carly speed that was noticeable In his
doubles match, and then more. For
the first three games in the first set
he played almost perfect tennis. and
Wright was bewildered by his fast
work and careful playing. He had
both his forehand and backhand work
ing in fine fashion, and the specfa-
tors were surprised with the ease in
which he took the early games.
Hogs won the first three games,
and the next one went TO the yisitor.
Hoogs had the next serve and won
love game by careful placing and hard
drives to the back court. Hoogs
lobbed and drove In the next set and
won out when Wright missed hard
shot to the side court. Wright Inn
proved his. playing IN the snext two.
games, but Hoogs made q pretty re-
turn and won the next game and set
sitter the game had gone TO deuce.
Wright In Form.
'Wait until Wright gets started, and
his generalship In running order" said
6 prophet in the stands, and hereafteR,
this prophet is considered in the front
rank of the prognosticator4 The
aforementioned sorcerer or whatever
term might be used called the turn, as
they say In classics. Wright did come
back and he played careful tennis
throughout, tennis that was excellent
without the sensational shots and star
drives. True, he made q number Of
clever returns, but whenever Wright
was forced out he refused to try and
saved himself for the next game.
HoOes started out in the second set
by winning the first game on Wright's
serve. Then Wright continued his
tactics of making his opponent chase
after the ball and Hogs failed to plays
up to the standard of the first set
