st. Louis took a strangle hold on
! the basketball championship yester-
| day afternOtn when, after a hard bat
tie, the Red and Blue triumphed over
| Punahou by score Of I6 to IA at the
PunahOu campus. Punahou is down
deep in the cellar. and the only team
which aUTears 10 have a chance is
KamehamCha, and its chances are
mighty slim. =.
Punahou was defeated yesterday
afternoon. hut they played real bas-
ketball from start to finish, and the
st. Louis five were not certain of vic
tory until Referee McCrillis called the
game to an end The Punahou play
ers passed the, ball with a purpose,
and Peterson especially was a bright
and shining star. He Outplayed Chris
tan throughout, and with Holmes at
guard earned a place in the basket
ball world.
Lam Wing played a steady game
for st. Louis and it was his work
coupled with that of the Vredenburg
brothers which finally won for the
! Red and Rlue five. The outdoor game
promises to be popular, and more
than 200 turned out to watch the
game. The lineup and summary fol-

Kan SWamps Mckinley
st. Louis may run into a real snag
at Kamehameha field next Tuesday
afternoon, when she meets the basket
ball stars from the King street school.
Coach Lehman has schooled the Kan
players into a system which will
cause the Saints some trouble when
they meet. Yesterday afternoon Kan
won out from Mckinley by score of
% to s. -. ... /. i. '...s.
1t has been many moons since the
basketball fans have had an opportu-
nifty to witness better playing on the
part of the forwards than was seen
yesterday when Dover and MCGUIRE
got in action. The Kan team was
not the same team which lost out the
last time, and without doubt the
Saints will have busy afternoon,
Kan players used the side and cor
ner courts throughout in the game
and this feature had the Mckinley
players up in the air. Dover and Nc
CURE played real fast basketball, and
neither tried to win the laurels for
himself. Better team work has not
been seen on the courts in the history
of the league. In the third period
Mcguire made six points in less than
one minute, and in this same period
Dover threw two pretty baskets from
the field. a--@ r..
Fuller and Kukona. the two Kan
guards, had the Mckinley forwards
covered at all times. Lujan played a
good game, but was unable to stop
the scoring machine of Kan. The
