Punahous Give League Leaders Close
Rub-Mailes Win From Customs
Interesting Ball.

Two close games delighted the crowd
on Saturday afternoon at Funahou.
The Males went up notch in their
percentage and the II. a. C.'s very
nearly had a serious tumble, the Puma
hOus tieing the score in the ninth.
Cooke made a phenomenal catch way
up in the atmosphere to wind up this
game after having annexed several
other flying spheres in good shape
throughout the other innings. The Pu-
nahous play good team ball, but most
of them are like Cooke, excellent i'm the
field they do not materialize at the bat.
The Mailes-CustOmS game was called
| first. The Male contingent CLEANED
| four tallies all at once in the second Of
| the fourth. This was the last time
! they scored but with the additional
| run secured in the first, the score prov
ed one too many for the Customs. The
| latter piled up one run at a time, but
| only reached the total of four. The
game was exciting however, and the
! crowd appreciated it, two excited on
! lockers INDUCING in a brief scramble
| CatCh-as-CatCh-Can which was inter-
! rupted by the deputy sheriff.
Umpire Lieutenant Newton lodged a
complaint against officials Of the league
sitting inside the ropes and INDUCING
! in vigorous comments on the umpiring.
| lie stated tnat any spectator Dehlnu
| the ropes was at liberty to wear out
! his vocabulary in expressing his opin-
! ion, but that the actions of one official
! in yelling rotten all through the
game were neither courteous, dignified
or sportsmanlke. He then left the
! playing field. The kick was made quiet
! ly and the crowd did not tumble for
| a while. John Wise, the offender, was
advised to apologize by those sitting
near, but did not see it in that light.
1t looked like no umpire for a while but
| Newton finally entered the breach once
more amid the plaudits of the crowd.
! Wise continued his knocking soto
voice.
Castle played a great game for the
| Punahous. He pitched, stole bases and
was found at first third or the home
plate as the exigencies needed him.

| II. A. C.s got the least bit ratified. JOY
was not at his best. Cunha played
good game and the heavier mettle Of

THE RUSH FOR LAND

HtLO August S.-Since last Monday
the Territory of Hawaii is a smaller
land holder of from $500 to 5000 acres,
and 10 citizens are the pOsscssors Of
hOmeSteads. Land Agent 10. d. Bald
win had his hands fun at his Office in
caring for the crowd of applicants
which besieged his door, eager to be-
come owners of Olaa and Puma land.
The advertised date for opening the
lands was Monday, August a. As early
as the previous Thursday night, a land
boomer with a chair and roll of maya
zines, sat himself down at Baldwin's
Office door and proceeded to bide his
time. He was soon Joined by others
and by Saturday night the sidewalk
was covered for five rods with a pa
tient line of people, waiting for the
books to open Monday morning.
The Hawaiians were in the majority,
although all resident nationalities were
represented. Early Monday morning
there appeared on the scene those who
wanted land but who had not figured
on butting into such string of COM
| petitOrs. Fancy prices were offered for
advanced positions in the line. The
man who camped on the doorstep
| Thursday night sold his place at the
head of the line for $3.50 cash. The pur-
chaser secured a good 40-acre tract in
Puma and is glad of his bargain, while
the early riser is happy over his easy
500 per day.
In the whole allotment only one per-
son took under the 999 year lease The
right of purchase lease was the favOrite
method.
