Baseball Teams Are AT
Work.-.Some New
Players

The baseball season will begin on
the 9th of May-just about one month.
All the teams are hard at work and
men are trying out for positions. Each
team has many men to pick from and
it looks as though there would be some
good ball played here this season.
The Males are at last out with
about 20 good men. Manager Cohen
has done good work in bringing out
such a bunch of colts and no doubt
will have a much faster team than
anticipated. John Soper formerly of
the Punahous will be in Male harness
this season. John is hard worker
and will no doubt be a strong man
for the green and gold.
The Punahou team played prac-
tice game with Oahu College yester-
day on the College grounds. The
former team won out by the close
score of to 4. The school boys have
an exceedingly strong team this season
and should make hard race for first
place in the interscholastic league.

list when the season ends.

The M@id of Other DAYS
By Arthur IL. Folwen

Oh vanished maids of grandma's dav.
What darksOme lives were those YOU led
Obliged in youth to pick your way:
Uncertain paths to keep and tread;
No experts had you to advise,
To counsel, caution or direct
Your maiden steps; no mentors wise,
Or faithful watchers CirCumspect
When grandpapas a-calling came
No chats with girls were yours to tell
The Judgment of some worthy dame
The time to sound the Curfew bell:
And all In vain YOU sought the truth
They tell it now-if twas a sin
When after dark a comely youth
Had seen you home, to ask him in
You never learned-oh, vanished fairl--
You could not, had it been your wish
The latest way to best prepare
Your luncheon in chatting g-dish
And cen perhaps you never read
The fact that hungry companies
Would rather starve than not be fed
From Mrs Cookem's recipes
You could not tell I'll wager now,
OF countless things the etiquette
In spite of which, somewhere. somehow.
You got your start; and yet-and vet

Here nanny gave exactly the crOaking note of
the frog. Whippo'will does spend only short sea-
son in our woods, so she cOntentedly went her
way, according to mammys version of the old tale.
When she returned it the same thing all the
time from Mister Frog:
Les put off,
Twill you come FUN de Norf.
Then naturally after many such returns with the
season Miss Whippo'will asked how long this we'd
ding to be postponed Mister Frog answered in
his familiar tones, for nanny brought that note
into many of her stories: TEN
