NEW FIELD FOR
ATHLETES
PROPOSITION TO INCLUDE NEW
RACE TRACK AND INFIELD ON
THE WAIKIKI ROAD.

The baseball men are still in a guam
Diary over a field to play in next year
and are considering any favorable pro-
position which is presented to them, in
sisting only upon the provisO that the
diamond shall be sufficiently we'll
boarded in to prevent a free view of the
game.
The latest proposal is in connection
with the property of w. H. Cornwell
and ]. Bowler on the Waikiki road.
This is the land for strip of which the
government recently compromised by
paying $1,000 for sufficient of it to widen
the road. 1t is on the mauka side of
the Waikiki road and will be recognize
ed by many as including a narrow strip
of extremely fertile land on which the
Chinese lessees raised a hay crop every
few months.
The proposition is in brief as fol-
lows. To take over sufficient of the
property for a race track and turn the
infield into shape for football, polo and
baseball. After the land is filled in,
the first move would be to make the
baseball diamond and erect the fence,
enlarging the latter when the track
was completed
The plan covers the organization Of
a corporation with shares sufficient to
cover the expense of the work. The
owners are SAID to be Wiling TO accept
part cash and part shares in the COM
pany. There are short leases on the
property but sufficient land could be
easily secured Immediately to make the
diamond. The Rapid Transit cars will
be running past the property by the
end of January and the present termi-
nus is but few yards away
The corporation profits would result
from the percentage of gate receipts,
which would be considerable in the
course of a year, the baseball of last
season taking in $4,000, with much
money lost through ineffective means
of preventing free views, and the re-
ceipts from the advertising -Wilege on
the inside and outside of the fence. A
movement to start the corporation has
already received much encouragement.
The lease on the present race track
is precarious and in view of the pro-
posed Kapiolani park improvements
and the wishes of some of those con-
tributing largely to the improvement,
may soon be cancelled. The removal
has already been mooted and approved
by many local turtles.

These only illustrations OF the tragedy and
the comedy in the life of a railway surgeon. The
great travelling public knows little of him. although
it derives innumerable benefits from his Iabors It
is not alone his duty to aid the wounded dying
In a train wreck examine applicants for

guards the public against disease by providing for
the sanitation Of cars. He makes a special study
OF the peculiar ailments following railroad acct
dents. and is constantly working to find a still
quicker and surer Of curing correcting them.
At the convention of the New-York State Asso-
ciation Of Railway Surgeons which is to DE held
next Thursday and Friday at the Academy Of Medi-

recommended by these railroad surgeons. 1t is
simply the proposition 10 require railroad employees
10 have better brains and to undergo what might
be termed nerve examinations
In investigating the causes Of railroad wrecks
these surgeons find that in most cases some in
a responsible position has collapsed mentally at
critical time Some engineer for example, has dis
regarded his signals. run past red light and then
when he has seen the Of a train in front OF
him he has lost his head completely and Jumped
instead OF reversing the lever. For many years
railroads have been examining applicants for en-

is now proposed to test their brains as well.
Should the discussion result I'm the recommended
ton OF such system. and should IL be adopted
by the railroads the applicant for work will be
compelled TO undergo much the kind OF
ordeal that OF the proverbial sweatboX His
