PLAYERS BOOST
GAME IN HAWAII

More than so names have been re-
ceiyed by the StarBulletin from boys
and girls who would like to join a
junior tennis club in Honolulu, and
this interest shows that the younger
players do really want to take an in
terest in the game. ..-s.
Bill Johnston and Clarence Griffin
are two big boosters for the junior
plan, and both have urged Honolulu
tennis enthusiasts who wish to boost
the standard of tennis here to get be-
hind the movement to give the junior
tennis players courts to play on. Har-
old Throckmorton, the junior cham
pion, is another booster for the move
ment, and these players know what it
means to begin tennis play early,
Johnston was a wizard at an early
age, and said during his stay in this
city that player must begin his game
before he is 10 in order to become a
really great star. The faculty in the
various schools of the city have taken
a deep interest in the junior tennis
club movement, and leading tennis
authorities are anxious to see 1t
started. -,
Male Wears, the youthful star who
won her way to the finals in the island
championships, is enthusiastic about
the idea, and said that if girls auxfl-
larry could be formed, she would be
one of the first to submit her name to
the list. ]. w Harvey Of z. o. Hall
& Sons has taken an interest in the
movement, and said that if a tourna-
,ment Is staged he will do all in
his power to assist. George Ahlborn
is much interested in the movement,
and promised to give cup to the win
ner of junior tournament.
If each boy or girl who has for
warded their name to the Star-Bulletin
as prospective members of the junior
tennis club will find one person who
would like to enter, plans will be
started at once to enlist the support
of the tennis enthusiasts in establish
ing permanent organization. If you
wish to help the plan along, find
someone between the ages of IL and
10 who is interested in tennis, and
send his name in. Then active work
will begin at once

Arm STROKE ALL
important, SAYS
CAVILL in TALK
tBy Associatso Pressl

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, March g.
I'VE would have more swimmers in
the championship class II those who
take up this form of athletic sport
would concentrate their attention to
getting the power into the crawl sroke
with their arms"
This is the opinion of Sid Cayill
swimming instructor at the Olympic
Club of San Francisco, and one of the
famous Cavill brothers of Australia
who invented and perfected the crawl
stroke. Cavill says:
Eve have gotten away from the old
idea that there is any particular value
to the kick. The idea of the push
from behind has been entirely sup
planted by the pull from in front If
mers as Duke Kahanamoku, Ludy
LANCER, Ross and other great water
men, you will observe the tremendous
power they put into the shoulders and
arms. The legs are kept perfectly
straight and the slight upward and
downward movement of the feet acts
more as stabilizer for the body than
anything else. This slight foot kick
keeDs the body up parallel with the
surface OF the water and does but
little more. ::
There is no need OF any stress be-
ing placed on the action of the legs
and feet other than to keep them
straight They will look after them
selves. The swimmer should concen-
trate all his attention on the action of
his arms. There Is also tendency to

most Interesting item at the annual
meeting of the Pacific States Tennis
Association held in San Francisco re-
Gently.
Wallace Alexander. the well-known
enthusiast. who has already done
much to forward the interest OF the
game. has already contributed $4,000.
The executive committee hopes to
prevent the leading players. who are
employed ct sporting goods houses,
from spending so much time visiting
the various tournaments. This is in
accordance with the policy laid down
by the national committee.
In view of the fact that the North
west Pacific Association has been or.
ganized to control tennis in that re-
zion, the southern organization has
decided to call itself the California
Lawn Tennis Association.
All the officers of the organization
were reelected. as follows: DR.. Sum

president; ]. c. Rohlfs. secretary, and
r. S. Marvin, treasurer.
The players ranked in the first four

Mid-Pacifics VS.. Nationals.

The Oahus and All Chinese come up
to their final match in the Y M. c. A.
Bowling League with an exactly even
percentage for first place. The Mid
Pacifics took game from the Oahus
last evening and forced the leaders
into tie with the Chinese.
Everything points to Friday, March
Is, when these two crack teams meet
to decide the winner of the first series.
Both are confident of their ability to
defeat the other and the pins should
fly all the time after play is called.
Last nights match was hummer
for the first two games. Each team
won game with q fine total and the
score stood 1929 for each team at the
end of the second game. Both total
pinfall and tie third point we're de-
pendent on the outcome of the last
game. The Mid-Pacifics broke under
the strain and the Oahus won out.
Edgar Methven appeared as leadoff
man for the Oahus and turned In high
average card for the evening. Earl
McTaggart proved the Mid-Pacific star
while Arthur Nelson had the best
single game of the evening. Carl Wi.

Tonight the Nationals will be in the
points against the Mid-Pacifics. Capt
Naatz will be minus the services Of
Nelson this evening but either Cooper
or Keeff will take his place. Capt
Stephens expects to have all the Ma.

opening match Monday. w. A. Rase-
man may be on hand to add about $40
pins to the Nationals total.

FASTENERS CAPTURE CHAMPIONSHIP
IN LADIES' TENNIS DOUBLES MATCH

I service won many points as the game
continued.
Locals Star .....
The visitors took the first set when
they scored five games in succession
by great cross-court play and perfect
lobbing. The second and third sets
we're captured by the local team by
great play in every department. Mrs.
Coulter was using the loft stroke
which was difficult to return and her
placements to the side line we're per-
feet Added to this was the fine play
Of Miss Ward at the net. Miss Storrs
tried time and again to lob, but Miss
Ward was playing great tennis en- the
overhead shots and scored many
points. e. - ..". ~..
In the fourth set the Fasteners
changed their tactics and drove the
ball hard at the feet of their opponents
who were often out of position. Miss
Storrs made a number of beautiful
backhand shots which we're lined, and
when Mrs. Coulter returned. Mrs.
Belin invariably made a kill to the
center of the court The lobbing was
changed. and Miss Storrs placed well
during the last two sets and the play
of Miss Ward was not so spectacular
She made a number of outs and nets,
which took away much Of the great
ness of her play in the early sets.
East Victors
The last set was a thriller from
start to finish, and with the score 81
in favor OF the visitors, Mrs. Coulter
began a campaign which almost car
ried the set Every shot was made
with an intent and her placement was
unusually good II would have won
out in most cases, but after sha had
used every stroke in the list the East
erners began a stubborn fight. al
though not until the local players had
carried the games to "a. A rally gave
the fasteners point and then one
more, when the match point was due.
Mrs. Belin made a sharp angle stroke
to the base line which Mrs Coulter
was unable to return and the match
was history.
Mrs. Coulter and Miss Ward won
the first championship in 1902 and also
carried off the honors in 1903 and
1904 Doubles were not played in
other years, as there were no players
who would enter against the stars.
Mrs. Coulter could end no opponents
in the singles until this year, and as
a result there was no championship
match for ten years The return of
Mrs. Coulter and Miss Ward to the
courts is certain to give a big boost
to tennis here. and with the establish
ment of a junior club interest Is GER
tain to be increased in Hawaii.

For the first time in the history OF
lawn tennis in Hawaii, Mrs. George
Coulter went down to defeat yester
day afternoon at the Polo Club courts.
Playing with Miss Lucy Ward, the
former doubles champions lost out in
a five set match which was one of
the best ever staged In local circles.
The finished play and sharp strokes
CT Mrs. F. A. Belin and Miss Janet
Storrs OF Scranton, Penn, were too
much for the local players who had
held the honors for so many years.
As predicted. the match went to five
sets before the fasteners broke
through the play OF the local stars,
and the large gallery present felt that
the Eastern stars would win out after
the fourth set, as their play was i'm.
proving. And when sharp drive fell
inches inside of the base line which
Mrs. Coulter was unable to return,
the championship went TO the visitors,
6-S, sc, 4-6, 6-S, 81.
Brilliant Plays
There was an unusual amount OF
brilliant play throughout the match
and Mrs. Belin and Miss Ward at the
net gathered the plaudits of the gal
lery from time to time with their
lightning strokes for points. Although
Mics Ward did not play to advantage
in strokes to the base line, she proved
to be wizard at the net, and turned
any number of drives for points with
sharp angle shot which skinned the
side line.
Mrs. Coulter, as usual, played
game which was marked with finesse
In every department, but she met an
opposition on the part OF the visitors
which was difficult to break through.
Miss Storrs lobbed to the base line
and then Mrs. Belin would drive for
the point with a sharp cut stroke
which invariably counted In the early
sets OF the match Miss Ward starred.
Better play has not been seen in
local match where the fair sex we're
