week to throwing bases it cannot be
expected that he will improve.
What has been said in general of
the Crescents applies as well to the
Hawaiis. First in the order of bad
players comes Morris at I'd base, for
it is a question if worse playing by a
man who can play ball well has ever
been seen on the diamond. Palmer
Woods disappointed most of his
friends by his constant wild throws.
More, great deal more was expect
ed of him after the good showing he
made last season. Prince Cupid
surprised his most ardent admirers,
and should he continue during the
season as he began there is no ques-
ton that be will lead the players in
his nine. Thompson played in his
usual good form and Dan, for boy
who has scarcely had ball in his
hand since the closing game last year,
deserves great deal of credit
In both games this year considera-
BILE dissatisfaction has been expressed
at number of decisions made by
umpire Wall If this feeling con-
tinues the players will lose heart.
Mr.. Wallis concientousness is not
for moment questioned, but when
the wrong decisions are made so fire.
quently it is time to look around for
the cause and remedy. The posi-
ton is thankless one at any time,
and have no doubt that the umpire
feels that he is entirely on the side
of the players and the public; an
opinion which we both have right
to dispute.
On the Coast it often happens that,
where two men umpire the game,
they change positions at the end of
each innings. This might relieve
Mr.. Wall of that tired feeling and
assist him in rendering decisions that
would not be questioned. Failing
in this suppose the clubs try one
umpire only.
Having dealt with the players and
the umpires it woald be unjust if the
managers of the grounds were passed
without notice. All of last season
ladies in the grand stand sat in fear
of being knocked with foul ball.
Several times a ball came in their
midst, but believe they were stop
ped before any injury was done.
This year such good luck has not been
the case, for in the first game lady
was struck in the breast by ball
from bat in the hands of one of the
students. A suggestion was made
to the manager to put back the wire
screen that was in position during
the first games last year, and which
was removed on account of the effect
it had upon the eyes; an objection
encountered on every well-regulated
ground in the United States and
which is readily overcome after one
or two games. Rather than put back
the screen the management thought
best to "suggest" changing the posi-
ton of the chairs set apart for ladies,
placing them where the benches now
are and putting the benches in the
position occupied by the chairs.

ton" and will continue so until some
one is seriously injured or ladies
cease attending the games through
fear of having an eye hlackened or
nose broken. The management of
the grounds must realize that it has
certain responsibilities which cannot
be overlooked. This is one of them.

In boating circles matters are ex-
ceedingly quiet. The members of
the boat clubs have, as yet, taken no
decisive steps in the matter of chal-
lenges, but it is quite probable some
thing definite will develop among the
junior oarsmen next week. There is
good material in the membership and
there seems to be no good reason
why races should not occur oftener
than on such set days as July 4th
and the other public holidays. The
more frequent the races the more
practice the boys will get and better
health and better oarsmen will follow
in close order.

yachting circles. We have already
some very fast yachts in the harbol

up to this time has not been done
We know of other yachts being i'm
