High School Athletic Master
Back From Jolly Trip to
Australia.
E. B. Blanchard, athletic master at
the MeKinley High School, recently
returned from a summer vacation spent
iThfv -winter of New Zealand and Aus
tralia. He returned very much en
thused with the hospitality of his
British cousins and had many good lit
tle stories of his trip.
Mr. Blanchard saw a real game of
Rugby football and he was deeply im
pressed. This was in New Zealand,
where they have the game down to a
finer point than anywhere else in the
world, and he was greatly taken with
the marvelous way in which the- backs
handle the ball, pick it up and pass
it from one to the other.
"I never saw such a place for sports
in all my life," said Mr. Blanchard.
"Everybody plays Rugby in the win
ter season. You see them on all kinds
of grounds and bare lots ptaying the
game and they certainly play it with
enthusiasm. At the only big game I
went Jo there were about a hundred
and fifty players scattered on the out
skirts of the field having their own
games and they never even stopped to
come and see the big game, so inter
ested were thev in their own affairs. ,
"In New Zealand they have a Maori
team that went over to Australia ana
defeated the best of the Rugby play
ers there. Then, of course, we have
all heard of the famous All-Black team
that showed them how to play the game
in England. I crossed from Sydney to
Auckland with one of the All-Blacks
and he told me . of several intricacies
of the game that were mighty inter
esting. "If players of the Intercollegiate
game had some of the clever tricks
that those New Zealand Rugby players
have, it would be a great advantage
to them. Why, those fellows pick np
the ball running at full speed and think
nothing of it. When they pass, they
know exactly where it is going and so
does the man who catches the pass."
.Then Mr. 'Blanchard began talking
about football prospects for the com
ing season here. He is very enthu-.
siastic and states that, in spite of the
graduation .of Elisha Andrews, they'
will have a good team. He is intensely j
anxious that the Kams and Saints;
should come in and make four teams '
in the series instead of only two. j
Just as he says, the situation was
just about getting exciting when it
was all over last year. Interseholastic
sports of all kinds have never been' at
such a high state of efficiency as dur
ing the last year. The Intercollegiate
football was a great success, the soc
cer was equally so, the sports were
grand and the baseball season was one
wonderful contest. j
It was very good to see Mr. Plan-'
chard back and to note the enthusiasm
that- gleamed from his eyes. The High
School is bound to do well in athletics
as long as he is handling that depart-!
ment. The boys all swear by him. he
knows how to play the game and he
has a wonderful knack of imparting
that knowledge to the rising genera-
tion.
TRIPLE PLAY
UNASSISTED
The Cleveland Press thus tells the
story of the triple play made by Neal
Ball, at one time shortstop for Atlanta:
Neal Ball made baseball history in
the first game of the -double-header
between the Naps and Boston. He
made a triple play unassisted. It was
the first unquestioned triple play of the
kind in major league baseball. 1
The play lifted Cy Young out of a
bad hole and had much to do with
deciding the game in the Naps' favor.
. The play came' in the second inning.;
Wagner and Stahl had got infield sin
gles. Wagner was on second and Stahl
on first wheu McConnell came to bat.
MeConneH had three balls and two
strikes, and the signal for the hit and
run play was displayed. ,
Bail moved over toward second to
be ready for a foree-out. It was lucky
lie did, as it brought him closer to
McConnell 's liner that screamed over
C'y's head.
Ball ran over back of second, lifted
his hands and caught, the liner. By
this time Wagner was almost to third.
By simply touching the bag Bail
doubled Wagner. He then stepped
two fct toward first and allowed Stahl
to run into the waiting ball, retiring
the side. i
The breath of the fans was tikeu
away by Ball 's wonderful feat. They
sat in awed silence for a brief mo
ment, and then how they did cut loose.
The 10,000 fans present yelled their ap
preciation long and loud.
Before they had begun to quiet down
Ball walked "to the plate. Two were
out, but that made no difference. The
volume- of the first ovation was re
doubled. All the yelling didn't shake
Ball's nerve.
Swish! Crack! Ball had hit the ball
a mighty rap. He met it flush on the
nose, and it was sailing far out into
center field. Ball was kicking up the
dirt along the first base line. His legs
were fairly twinkling.
Speaker, Red Sox' speedy center
fielder, was racing madly for the
bleachers. His speed was of no avail.
The ball sailed .over his head, and
Ball kept up his lightning clip around
.the bases. , '
The crowd was mad with delight.
The roar was deafening when the little
Nap shortstop flashed across the plate.
An unassisted triple play!
A clean home run smash in the same
inning!
Later a two-base hit!
Fine fielding!
Long will the name of Neal Ball,
New York outcast and Nap favorite,
live in the history of baseball and the
memory of Cleveland fans.

NATIONAL GUARDS
PLAY FORT RUGERS
The Fort Ruger coast artillerymen
have sent a challenge to the National
Guard for a game of baseball and
Sergeant E. S. Barry, manager of the
crack Guardsmen has accepted. The
game will 'be played at the league
grounds next Saturday afternoon, and
will be the first of he two regular
games scheduled for that park. Local
men have heard that the big gun men
have some crack players who have
played on pretty large league grounds
on the mainland.
"I don't care whether they played
with the New York Giants or the
Tigers or the White Sox," said Barry,
"they've got to show me right out on
the diamond. I've got a few good
players too."
Louis Soarea will captain the Guards
men 's team.
CRICKETERS
OFF FOR MAUI
The cricketers all got away on the
Mauna Kea yesterday at noon and the
last that was seen of them was Jamie
Fiddes anxiously inquiring which
would be the lee side of the steamer.
. The big mat for the pitch was safely
stowed aboard as also all the rest of
the cricket dunnage. In spite of pros
pects for quite a rough trip, everybody
looked happy and the last words that
McGill, the captain of the team, saia
were to the effect that they would most
certainly bring back victory with
them.
There has been quite a little talk
among the devotees of the British
game, as to who would make the big
gest score of the team. Some seemed
to favor Bob Anderson while others
refer, to Lothrop Withington as the
man who will probably carry off the
honors.
Withington made the highest score
in the match last Saturday and he is
a very brilliant bat. Anderson is an
old stager at the game and is less
liable to being bowled than the young
er player. There are other good bats
in the team, and there is every pos
sibility that any one of the eleven
will come out with the highest seore of
the dav.

S
PRELIMINARY
TENNIS SINGLES
Promptly at 4:00 p. m. today the
preliminary round of the tennis tourna
ment for the championship of the Ha
waiian Islands will commence on the
Beretania courts.
Sixteen of the leading players in the
islands have entered in singles and as
all have been practising consistently
some stirring matches may be antici
pated, and when the smoke has cleared
away the survivor of the last and final
round will be formally declared cham
pion of the Hawaiian Islands for the
season of 1909.
As is often the case in drawings, two
of the strongest players play in the
preliminaries. On Court No. 1 at 4:00
p. m., Mr. P. E. Steere, the crack play
er from the Pacific Club will meet Mr.
E. S. Gee, the present holder of the
Wall cup andi it is needless to say that
the match , will be- well worth seeing.
Mr. Steere' has always been one of the
leading players in Honolulu and can
always be counted on to fight it out
to the finish while Mr. Gee is playing
in great form, and the player who beats
him will have to extend himself. An
other match of interest will be between
F. E. Geenfield, the champion from
Ewa and J. Atherton Richards. The
latter is the youngest player to enter
the tournament (but plays an excellent
game and can be counted on to make
his more experienced antagonist ex
tend himself.
Entries in ladies' singles will close
this evening at 5:00 p. m., and play
will commence on Thursday at 4:00 p.
m. Mixed doubles will commence on
Friday, the entries to close on Thurs
day, while gentlemen's doubles will be
held open until Saturday and in all
probability will not commence until tne
early part of next week. Several en
tries were received during the day for
the ladies' singles and at least eight
strong teams will contest, in mixed
doubles. In all probability, Miss Hall
will play with Mr. P. E. Steere, while
Mrs. Hinds will play with " Sonny"
Cunha, which will insure two strong
teams. At the last moment Mr. Will
Roth has consented to enter in doubles,
his partner being W. W. Williamson.
Tennis enthusiasts will watch his re
turn to the game with interest. W.
L. Warren being absent, Cunha and
Gee will double up; Anderson and Low;
Hemenway and Steere; Greenfield, and
McKeever are all strong teams.
The drawings in singles are as fol
lows: First round T. P. W. Gray vs. P. R.
Bartlett; Major C. G. Long vs. G. W.
Waterhouse; P. E. Greenfield vs. J. A.
Richards; J. Macconel vs. L, S. Con-
ness.
Second round E. S. Gee .vs. P. B.
Steere; Noel Deerr vs. J. Macaulay; C.
R. Hemenway vs. Theodore .Richards;
J. W. W. Brewster vs. R. Sinclair.
Today's matches are as follows:
At 4:00 p. m. Gee vs. Steere; Long
vs. Waterhouse; Hemenway vs. Rich
ards. At 4:30 p. m. Greenfield vs. Rich
ards; Brewster vs. Sinclair; Macconel
vs. Conness.
At 5:00 p. m. Gray vs. Bartlett;
Deerr vs. Macaulay.
JIM'S COUSIN
IS BADLY HURT
SAN FRANCISCO, August 17. John
Quinn, trainer and driver of Sweet
Bon, winner of this year's California
Trotting Futurity; Wild Bell, 2:05Vi,
the State's present champion trotter,
and of other harness racing celebrities,
may be absent from the sulky during
this week's race meeting at Woodland,
which will commence tomorrow and con
tinue until Saturdav evening.
When the special train bearing own
ers, trainers, drivers, their families, and
eight carloads of their fieetfooted horses
was pulling out from Pleasanton yester
day noon, John Quinn met with an acci
dent that made the onlookers' blood run
cold for the moment. Rushing to board
the train after it had started, Quinn 's
foot missed the bottom step and the
impetus of his spring carried him be
neath the body of the car and he fell
against its forward wheels. The train
men declared the only thing that saved
his limbs, and perhaps his life, was tnat
he struck the wheels above their axles
and was thrown off instead of being
drawn under.
Willing hands picked up the bleeding
trainer, into whose face, hands and
limbs the gravel and cinders had been
driven by the force of his fall, and
whose clothing was badly torn. He
was carried into the Pleasanton station
house and given medical attention.
INTERNATIONAL
RACE PROBABLE
It seems very probable that there
will be a great font race run at the
Athletic park on Saturday, September
4. The management of the park has
sent a Japanese envov to Hawaii to
try and persuade Tsnkamnt h
Jap who beat Nigel Jaekson last JulH
v I
!
- ... lu vume to Honolulu
and I
race again.
Jackson declares that he wants a!
longer distance. He states that he is
eonndert he can defeat Hm To ;t (i,
0 j race were made over the regular
. j Marathon distance.
"yr air rerat jong aistance run
ners in town who can give Tsukamoto
a good run for his monev over the
shorter long distances, from ten to
fifteen miles and the management has
not by any means decided to make the
race a long one. For several reasons.
They believe that the public prefers
to watch a race that does not take
such a long time. They believe that
they will have a more even race by
having it shorter and it seems to them
that the Jap should not be called on
to defend his title over a longer dis
tance than that which he ran when
he won.
A wireless is expected from the
agent at any time to state whether
Tsukamoto will come or not. As the
offer which was to be made to him is
an exceedingly liberal one, it seems
very probable that he will take it up.
The little Chinese milk wagon driver,
who made himself such a favorite at
the last Marathon at the league
grounds, by gamely running the whole
distance without proper training, will
also be invited to enter and it looks
as though we might be treated to an
international race of great interest.
CONGRESSIONAL PARTY
The personnel of the Congressional
party whieh sailed yesterday from San
Francisco for Honolulu is very different
from the party as originally made up
by Secretary McClellan. For one rea
son or another .more than half of those
who were first invited and accepted
dropped out and new members were
added by Mr. McClellan. .
A letter was received from the pri
vate secretary yesterday, giving a list
of those who are coming, but it seems
that even this list is not entirely cor
rect, as it does not contain as many
as the cable received the day before
stated were in the party. The list as
given in Mr. McClellan 's letter is as
follows:
Hon. Chas. F. Scott and wife, of
Kansas, Chairman Committee Agricul
ture. Hon. J. M. Miller and wife, of In
terstate and Foreign Commerce.

ISLAND PEOPLE 10
ARE SOON TO
Calf. Another bride of the autumn
will be Miss Lydia Gibbons, whose
marriage with Gustave Schaefer of Ho
nolulu will be an event of this month
and will take .place, in fact, Friday
evening, August 27, at the First Pres
byterian church in this city.
The bride elect is the attractive
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles P.
Gibbons, and had not made her formal
bow to society when her engagement
to the prominent clubman of Honolulu
was announced several months ago.
The bride has selected green and white
for the color scheme at her wedding,
and it is said that the gowns and de
tails of the decorations have an origi
nality quite unusual in the chosen
effect.
The bride will be attended by her
sister, Mrs. J. Charles Green, as matron
of honor, while Miss Constance Cum
mings will attend as bridesmaid and
George Brown of Honolulu will act as
best man.
The wedding of Miss Cummings and
Ensign Joerns, IT. S. N., by the way,
will be a later event of the season
and another wedding is remembered in
connection with this event, since
George Brown, who fills the office of
best man, is the fiance of Miss Minna
Berger, who is visiting here from Ho
nolulu with popular Miss Alice Mac
farlane. The Brown-Berger wedding
will be an event of December. The
wedding reception of Miss Gibbons
and Mr. Schaefer will take place at
the Fairmont and will be an elaborate
affair. The young couple will live in
Honolulu.
