sale of seats is reported and IT is eH'
pected that the association will 0e
packed.
There will be a number OF feature
events TO be staged and the 22o-yard
open and the 50-yards for girls, prom
fse to attract the most interest. Every
event will nave a number OF CLASSY
entries and the races will be haro u
pick this evening.
In the 100-yard novice, the hrs!

be close with Harvey OF the Outris'

to be right up near the winner al inc

should come in second with every
thing equal.
The IO0-yard service race ought 10
BE- a real thriller. With four stars
entered it is a difficult matter to
pick the winner, and it would not be
at all surprising to see them come
in punched. Murphy, Pingry, O,Brlen
and Walker have been making good
time and they may finish in this or
der, although condition will mean
much in the finish.
Dudley Pratt looks like a winner IN
the plunge for distance, and 1t should
be a hard fight for second place, with
Bob Fuller having a good chance for
the place.
Real Race in so
The 5O-yard championship race
ought to be a real battle from begin
ping to end, and Gerd Hiorth may be
slight favorite over Kathleen Law
and Josephine Hopkins. Miss Law in
jured her shoulder the other day, but
appears to be in good condition now.
Miss Hiorth's form ought to give her
a victory IN the shorter race with
Miss Law and Miss Hopkins, second
and third. Edith Kenn, the little Is
year-old mermaid of Palama, is sure
to gain on the turns, but is hardly
expected to win one Of the first three
places.
Harold Kruger appears to be the
choice in the 150-yard backstroke with
Clarence Lane second. This ought to
be good race, as Lane has been i'm
proving wonderfully of late. Buster
Carter has a good chance to land
third. although Kelii has been i'm.
proving of late. Fuller, Hjorth and
Thurston ought to take the three
places in order In the diving.
In the 50-yard race for boys, Mat,
suguma looks like a winner, and al
though Minville has been showing
plenty Of speed, the Palama boy
should win out. Cook ought to secure
a third in this event.
The 220-yard championship will be
the real feature race Of the evening
and with Ludy LANCER in excellent
condition should win from the others.
Harold Kruger is expected to put up
q hard fight in this race, and should
gain on the turns over Kelii. This
difference ought to give "Snibby" Sec
ond place. 81. ~. =
The service relay is expected to be

Mickey King, Former Middle
Weight Champion, With
Darcy at Deathbed

Mickey King. former middleweight
champion of Australia. was a visitor
in Honolulu yesterday. The noted
boxer is on his way to the United
States where he will enlist in the avia-
ton corps.
King has fought all of the leading
boxers Of Australia, and has made a
notable record in the hempen square.
He has a decision over the late Les
Darcy to his credit, beating the Matt
land wonder in 20 rounds in Maitland.
Later Darcy wrested the title from
King in a 20-round bout, which was
one of the best affairs in Sydney.
King battled with Jimmy Clabby
on two occasions, each getting a win.
He lost to McGoorty in 20 rounds, and
has decisions over Jeff Smith, Dave
Smith, Billy Murray and Arthur
Cripps. King won his title from
Cripps in a hardfought go in Aus
tralia.
At Darey's Deathbed
The we'll known boxer was at OAR
cy's bedside when the Maitland won
der passed away. King said that
Darcy worried over the actions of the
people, and this was partially respon-
sible for his death. He told how
Darcy had enlisted in the aviation
corps with Capt. Christie, and had de-
cided to become an American citizen.
Darcy was fond of the American
people," said King. HE would have
been allowed to box, following his en-
listment, had he lived. The people

Prospects are unusually bright for

four games already scheduled among
the four teams on the islands. The
first game OF the. season will be
staged on August Is when the Kauai
Army teams meet.
Oahu is certain to be strong this
year, and the same may be said for
Maui, and should Harold Rice decide
to play with the Kauai contingent,
the Garden Island poloists will surely
have strong lineup. The Army has
added two new stars, and inasmuch
as both have been prominent in polo
circles In the East the Schofield team
looks formidable.

In the midst Of a day full of the

He followed this Immediately with
the statement that volunteers are ncqd-

not cover the whole field. and that the
