THE LURLINE'S SONG.

This is song of the salty sea.
Like the ocean poets pen,
When the spuny spin-drift spouts alec
On the horn-piping sailor men.
Then avast, Delay, though the oceans
rough,
And the shippers soused and the mate
is gruff,
We will quaff our grog and dine on
duff,
So Murray for the sea again.
This is a song of the bubbling brine,
Where the curling combers comb.
And the wild waves wash like yeasty
wine
Tipped with feathery feecy foam
Oh! there's nothing to do but take in
sail
In the face of a seventy six-knot gale,
Or stay in the hold all night and bail.
So hurrah for our ocean home!
That boards US abaft the beam,
That boards US abaft tn ebeam.
And hurries US down to a watery
grave.
Where the sun throws never a CLEAN.
Then ahoy for the rack of the rolling
wreck.
For the terrible tempest that knows
no check,
And the sloping slant to the slippery
deck
That hobs through the sailors dream!
The Commodore.

BASEBALL.

Fourth of July baseball will take the
shape of games between the Kans ana
Males and the Oahus and Punahous.
These games will usher in the senior
leagues second series. The latter con-
test is sure to attract great deal of
attention on account of the sensational
victory of the Puns over the Kams two
weeks ago. and the unlocked for defeat
of the OahUs by the Kanls on Saturday

UNIVERSITY CLUB.
Weight
5597

The Healani juniors have taken a
long time to settle their boat on ac-
count OF men having been shifted, and
tried out for the senior boat. The con-
sequence has been that the selected
four have been rowing together a COM
partively short time. A week ago the
Myrtle juniors looked to have the race
in hand but they seem to have worked
a triffe too hard whereas their oppo-
nents have kept coming on.
The Myrtle juniors average lighter
than the Healanis but are a snappy
crew, full OF life. Every man is of the
scrappy sort and viii fight to the last
ounce if necessary. Their stroke is
short and gingery.
The Healani juniors have a bit long
er stroke in the water, on the whole,
and register fewer strokes to the min
ute than their rivals.
The Myrtle seniors are undoubtedly
the most finished crew on the harbor.
They work smoothly and we'll together
catching very strongly and keeping ex-
cellent time at the finish of a stroke
with the result that the boat travels
well and evenly on its keel. Every man
in the boat is in fine condition and it

all the time. They were much democrat
lied on arrival at training quarters
owing to the fact that positions in the
boat were entirely unsettled, indeed
many chops and changes have been
made since going to Pearl Harbor. That
the boat, under these conditions. was
unsteadyis not to be wondered at. With
in the last week the order has been de-
termined upon and the boats rigging
adjusted and decided Improvement has
been shown each day since then.
A week ago it was a foregone con-
clusion that the Myrtles would land
the senior race, but today it looks as if
the Healanis have a chance. The men
are a big, strong, husky bunch and as
suredly ought to be able to stand
gruelling race. AS is the case with the
juniors, the Healani seniors stroke
seems to be a little longer in the water
than that of the Myrtle boat.
Theoretically the stroke of the two
clubs is of the same character having
a decidedly hard catch with but little
attention paid to getting hard finish.
It is similar to the stroke formerly
taught Yale by Bob Cook who learned
it in England.
The University Club crew started
training with a view to competing for
the championship. The Elks challeng-
ed them, however. and their def was
accepted. The boat has had six days
more practice than the Elks combina-
ton. Both crews have entered the race
in the spirit of pure sport and have
done the moderate amount of training
necessary to negotiate the short course
over which they are to row. They have
coached themselves. the
