of Los Angeles, who returned from
San Clemente Island on Saturday,

fish which he had taken on light
tackle. AS far as is known, only two
anglers before him have succeeded in
landing the marlin on such light
outfit. Mr. Jump fished from the
launch Leona, Captain K. S. Walker.
On his third day he fought two fish;
one he landed, but the leader broke
on his second catch, thus giving the
fish its liberty. In the twisting and
twirling fight with the last marlin the
fish charged the boat and did not miss
it more than foot. ~..... ..=... = ...~

That women are capable of sue
.cessfully running swimming meet is
shown more clearly every day as
plans progress for the swim to be
held in the Y. NJ. C. A. tank on Sat-
urday evening, October q. A com.
mittee to run the meet is we'll or
gained and each subcommittee is
working on its bit. $3.50. .,.
The committee has decided that
they<will give ribbons instead of med.
ais at this meet, owing to the fact
that the funds Gre to be turned over
to the Red Cross. If, however, any
swimming enthusiast, or one interest.
ed in the development of the sport for
girls wish to, the committee would
be glad to receive trophies. Miss
Marjorie Caps at the Hawaiian News
or Miss Ruth Stacker at Palama Set
Element will receive such donations.
The schools are fast becoming in
terested in the event, each institu-
ton entering two delegates. There
is no age limit to the relay race for
the public school girls and no limit
to the grade as has been the under
standing. The only possible limit is
that girl may not be registered for
a school and club at the same time.
This will give the new swimmer a
chance.
There will be an informal swimming
meet for girls held, in the Paiama
swimming pool on Saturday, October
20. No prizes will be awarded and
any girl in the city may enter. This
will be in the form of tryout CT
practise for the meet on the 9th. .--

BICYCLE CLUB PLANS
INCREASE I'M MEMBERS

Although they have now been or
ganized for almost two months, the
Fisk bicycle club is now opening a
campaign for an increase in its mem
bership in view of giving this sport
the popularity which the conditions in
the islands warrant its demanding.
Those on the membership committee
are Leo De ROO, president of the
club; Philip Zane, James Smith and
Joseph Tseu, and arrangements have
been made with the Y. NJ. c. A.
whereby anyone desiring to join the
club may make application there.
Members of the club plan to make
runs in groups to different points
of interest on the islands. The club
has already been around the island
and made the entire trip in about II
hours. The meetings of the club are
held every Saturday afternoon when
they usually make their trips.

FORM FOOTBALL
LEAGUE AT Big
MEETING AT Y.
Representatives of Army Posts
and Local Teams Together
in Sport Confab

Representative of six football
teams met at the Y. 81. c. A. last
night and organized the Oahu Foot
ball league. The 1st Infantry, the 32nd
Infantry, the 9Th Cavalry, the Town
Team, Fort Kamehameha and the Y.
NJ. c. A. were all represented. All
but the LIST Infantry were certain OF
putting a team in the league. The
LIST is practically sure Of coming in.
The season Of the league will COM
mence on November 3, though pre-
season games probably will be ar
ranged before then, as the 32nd and
Fort Kamehameha are almost ready
to play now. Games will be played
on Saturdays and Sundays at Scho-
field, Fort Kamehameha and Homo
lulu. Saturday afternoon games may
be played in conjunction with the
Interscholastic league. Last season
when the national guard had a team,
both the guard and the school teams
profited by an arrangement whereby
the guard games preceded the school
games.
The Marines, who have been prac-
Using for some time, and the Field
Artillery, who had a strong team in
the league last year, are expected to
come In. Lieut.. futile has charge OF
the Marine team and the league
members hope that Capt. Arnold, OF
the Field Artillery, an old West Point
star, will create an organization in
his regiment.
To Meet Again
The schedule for the league will be
made out at another meeting of the
league members. at Schofield, Wednes-
day, October IL. This meeting will
be attended by representatives from
the local teams. Other matters to be
taken up at this second meeting and
postponed from last nights meeting
will include guarantees, admission
charges for games, field to be used,
securing OF players after the play
ing season has commenced, and so
on.
All of the men present spoke en-.
couragingly of the prospects for their
teams. Indications are that the high
est class football ever seen In Ha-
wall will be played. Most of the teams
which played last year have lost but
few men and many new stars have
been secured. Practise for some of
the teams has commenced and for
others will start next week.
The representatives at last nights
meeting we're: list Infantry, Lieut..
Hanna; 32nd Infantry, Lieut.. Brack.

Edited by JOE HARRINGTON $YA

THOUGH Mckinley appeared to
n have much the weaker team in
Hthe early season outlook, within
the last week their improvement has
been so great and the addition Of sew
eral men so important while Puma
hou has suffered the loss OF men
through injuries and their eleven has
shown up in anything but promis-
ing matter, that they will after all
be the equal OF Punahou in the game
to be played on Saturday on Alexander
field. The contest viii be staged at
Alexander field and not at Moilllh
as was planned early in the week.
The keenest rivals for the inter
scholastic football honors, Punahou
and Mckinley meet tomorrow pre-
pared for what will undoubtedly be
the liveliest game of the season SO
far. Punahou will have the advant.
age of weight and experience, but Nc
kinley, from present appearances,
will deliver their greater speed and
their proverbial "scrappiness."
The game at kamehameba field be.
tween the College of Hawaii and ka
mehameha will likewise be a close
contest. While kamehameha won
from Mckinley ON Saturday. the Col
lege of Hawaii practically outplayed
Punahou. The latter team will prob.
ably be slightly the heavier and with
Brash, probably the faster, but will
not have the balanced team that ka-
mehameha possesses.
New Men Out
All is in readiness at the College
of Hawaii for the game tomorrow af.
ternoon on Kamehameha field. Dur.
ing the past week little of an I'M
usual nature has turned up in the col
lege tactics or personnel. The coaches
have been toughening up the men
with the ordinary exercises, running
around the track several times, tack
ling, scrimmaging, chasing the ball,
and SO on. Two new men have come
out for the team in the past week
in the persons of Pammel and Davis,
both of whom are doing admirable
work. -. Ht.ssi
Kong, the star Of last Saturdays
Punahou game, was injured so badly
in the right knee in a scrimmage yes
terday that he had to be carried off
the field. His loss is keenly regretted
by the whole college, for Kong had
the rare gift of an eye for picking
holes. Considering his comparatively
slight build his line plunses are very
remarkable. Kong's place will prob.
ably be filed by PammeI. ...s
Coach Vented had nothing to say

Monuments and Things.


Some policemen are naturally in
quisitive. Others acquire inquisitive-
ness. This fact has troubled Della
Ferguson for a long time. especially
as Della likes a little jag occasionally
and is peeved when the minions Of
! the law interfere. Thursday Della
/ took her bottle and went over to the
| Monument Grounds where she could
get drunk in peace and quiet Very
soon a policeman strolled by and
Della asked him to keep one Of the
monuments from falling on her. The
policeman told her that there was
only one monument and as far as he
could see 1t was still in its place.
Della wouldn't believe it until she
sobered up in Jail the next morning.
Judge Mullowny sent her down where
she will be out OF harms way when
the monument decides to come of its
perch.
Such Unreasonable Neighbors.
Just because he was not going to the
front Joe Healy couldn't see why he
should be sparing with powder and
| shot. On the Fourth Joe Is said to
have taken out his gun and celebrated
by puncturing the atmosphere with .S2
caliber bullets. Neighbors objected
and Joe swore quite profusely. The
neighbors objected to this, too, and
| called a policeman. 1t was not be-
cause the folks who lived around Joe
objected to his celebrating the Fourth,
but they were afraid that he might
! change his aim and puncture their
anatomy. He was fined $50.
Concerning a Lady's Hand.
Two a. m. is no time to pull a lady
| out of bed and ask her to go in the
street In her nightie. This happened
| in Northeast Washington the other
| night, when George Ross stepped up
stairs to the room OF Alice Cans. pick
| ed Alice up out of her bed and tried
| to put her and her pink-ribboned
nightie outside.
1t happened that George was a suitor
| for Alice's hand. but Alice said she
had other uses for her hand, namely,
by letting it repose in the broad palm
| of Georges rival while said rival
squeezed it. Alice came home from
a dance escorted by the hated rival.
and 1t took him just forty-seven min
] utes to say good night, causing much
wear and tear on the nervous system
| OF George. Alice then went to bed
! and was sound asleep when George
burst in the door and then all the
trouble began. 1t cost George $50 for
| forgetting his manners.
| Lou Naturally Objected.
Four or five friends of Lou Wood
! Clipped in and sent him after a pint
| OF liquor. Lou started out with the

They talked, and talked and talked
some more while the thirsty bunch
waited, waited and waited. One OF
the party. acting as scout, started out
to find Lou and discovered him in the
park. They had some words which
cannot be printed and Lou. a little
peeved at his spoon-fest being broken
up, blunted the sharp point Of his shoe
on the anatomy of the scout. He was
arrested and fined $40.
II Happened ON Sunday.
Every Sunday afternoon Clifton
Mansler dresses up In a white duck
suit. And every Sunday some one
makes fun of Clifton. and tells him
that he is wearing a suit that be-
longs to the white wings. as Clifton
was one of those things once upon
a time. Clifton objected to being
called a street cleaner going to a
parade and lit into his tormentors last
Sunday afternoon. 1t SO happened that
Clifton had sought enough courage for
a scrap in the cup that flows and he
was more noisy than he should have
been. He was fined SIS, and not hav-
ing it, went to Occoquan for thirty
days.

and the court fined him $40. He will
now break rocks at Occoquan for
thirty days.
Dollars and Cents.
Forty dollars is a high price to pay
for a few minutes fun, particularly IL
one gets hurt in the bargain. Charlie
Loveland had an argument with a
storekeeper over a few cents change.
He didn't mind the few cents, but he
dearly loved to have a little fun at
the expense of his fellow man. He
put a penny in a slot machine which
was in the store. expecting to have
some music. but instead the machine
had been brought up to make a noise
like a deep hole when anyone dropped
money in 1t. Charlie felt outraged
and threw the machine at the pro-
prietor. The proprietor replied with
dish at Charles head and had him
arrested. The court fined him $40.
and warned him to have respect in
the future for others peoples prop
