OTHER HALF
COMMENCES
Today's Games Should
Be of an Interesting
Nature.
-*<t<k<t%k%x<I

| This afternoon will witness the open
| ing of the second half of the baseball
| season, the opposing teams being the
Kamehamehas and Males and the Pu-
nahous and Oahus. Since the upset of
| the Oahus last Saturday anything may
| be expected and it will be gratifying
Iif during the second half, the three
lower teams occasionally turn the
tables.
The Kamehamehas played a good
with the fact that the Oahus were two
men short. made the outcome not alone
possible but very probable. Some of
the local writer's used much space in
ed, in the Oahu-Kam game. The fact
is that the Rams played an excellent
game and the Oahus were weakened
by the absence of Ringland and White.
It does not follow that because
team is apparently strong, it cannot on
occasion be beaten by a team not so
formidable. The Honolulus have time
and again been beaten by the Males,
Punahous and Kamehamehas, and will
be beaten again. Nor does it follow
that the losing team is playing poor
ball.
1t is to be hoped that the public will
continue to patronize the games liber-
ally and accept what is given them in
the right spirit. They are getting the
boys best and are giving little in re-
turn. The games put up by the Coast
League are not any better than the
local, considering the fact that the
home teams are amateur and the Coast
teams professional.

AT THE TRAINING QUARTERS.

AT THE TRAINING QUARTERS.
4 visit to the training quarters of
the crews at the Peninsula last night
found an aII-pervading air of conf
dence in each. And, singularly enough,
IN each of the camps of the Myrtles
and the Healanis it was the junior
tours that each was depending upon
as almost a certainty.
The Heaiani crews are in good shape,
but it is reported that the shifting
around among them that has been
found necessary has not had the best
of results.
I'VE have a good even break for the
senior event. said one of the train
ers, land / think we should capture the
junior without much trouble. That is,
barring accidents. Our boys are not
trained down so fine as the Myrtles,
who have rather overdone it, I think.
At any rate, we are out to win and
intend to do the best that is in u.s."
Captain King of the Myrtles pointed
out the junior four as they swung over
a fast quarter for a stretcher, the boys
swinging in perfect unison, with plenty
of power in their stroke
That's the fastest junior four the
Myrtles ever had he said, land the
fastest on the beach. / have no hest
tation at all in picking them out for
the winners tomorrow. Our seniors are
in fine shape, too, and we look to them
to finish with a good Lead
Il see by one of the papers that our
juniors can lead us any day of the
week." spoke up burly member of
the senior crew I'VE don't admit that,
but you can say that they are the only
ones on the beach who can hold Us
down to a couple of lengths"
Which is a fair indication of the way
the Myrtle seniors are sizing up their
own chances.
In the three-quarters between the
University and Elks' tours the outcome
cannot easily be doped. Unril the last
couple of days it seemed to be generally
conceded that the Varsity boys would
pull away from the Elks in easy
fashion, but the latter crew has devel
oped wonderfully and are commencing
to be regarded as favorites. This race
is bound to be good one, with close
finish.

soon as possible.
Three days after her husband
left her Mes. johnson received a
clue ~that her baby was in the
care of family on Salisbury street
and she traversed that street from
morning until 10 o'clock at night,
asking for news of her child at
every house on the street from
Fifteenth street to Broadway, and
even stopping passersby.
All her efforts were fruitless and
she appealed to c. L. Stradley, of
the Merchants Secret Service
Company, to aid her in finding the
infant. Altho she had no money,
Stradley agreed to help her, hav-
ing been acquainted with her in
her happier days. He ran down
every elew, but was unable to dis
cover the whereabouts of the baby.
Then he decided to turn the case
over to the city detective depart
ment.
Mrs. Shernick, with whom the
Johnsons boarded when they first
arrived in st. Louis, but who is
now employed by a tobacco COM
pauy aud resides at No. 1854
Luck street, denies that she was in
any way responsible for its abduc-
ton. She was questioned about
the matter last Thursday in the
Office of the Circuit Attorney,
and admitted on that occasion that,
after the disappearance of the
badly, she had gone to see it at a
house in Salisbury street.
She said she had taken a Belle
fountain car and had walked east
on Salisbury street after alighting,
hut could not remember the num-
ber Of the house, nor could she de-
scribe it. She said that her visit
on that occasion was in response
to message that the baby was
very ill.
Mrs. johnson was born in st.
Louis, being the daughter of D.L.
Forgey, now dead. Her mother
removed to Frankford, Mo-, where
she married w. j. Hetzler.
Victor 7. johnson was a we'll
known college athlete and member

the Nebraska basket ball team, and
also took a great interest in col

MARRIED AT CENTRALIA.
Wife Deserted in St. Louis-Was a
Former Resident of Vandalia.

The St. Louis Republic contain
ed the following article a few days
ago:
Sick almost unto death when
her baby was born, seeing it for
one brief moment after its birth,
Mrs. Eula johnson, alone and de-
serted by her husband, has sought
in vain for her child, which was
abducted from her when it was but
four days old.
The facts in the case will be pre-
sented to Chief Of Detectives Des-
mond in the hope that the police
department may be able to restore
the infant to the sorrowing
mother.
Mrs. johnson, who is but 20
years old, and a pretty and intelli-
gent woman, was married last
February in Centralia to Victor
Tucker johnson, 30 years old, who
was then attending the Law School
of the State University at COlum-
bia, Mo. ,
The marriage took place while
the girls mother was very sick,
and was kept secret until after the
death of the latter last March.
When johnson was graduated
from the law department of the
university, he sent his wife to
friends in Frankford, Mo-, while
he went to Texarkana, Ark, to
look over the ground preparatory
to engaging in the practice of
law.
After spending some time in
Texarkana he decided to locate in
st. Louis. and. with his wife, he
came here about last September l,
taking a room in the boarding
house of Mrs. Anna Shernick at
No. 2236 Olive street.
Here the baby, a girl, was born,
late in November, 1905. The
young mother saw her child but
for a moment, then sank into un-
consciousness. For days she how
cred between life and death and
her husband despaired of her life.
Then the crisis was passed and
she opened her eyes in the first
conscious waking for four days
since the baby's birth and called
for her child. 1t was gone. Fran.
tically the mother asked if it were
dead, aud she was told that it still
lived, but was with friends.
Mrs. Johnson says she learned
that her husband, believing that
she could not live and fearing to
to be burdened with the child,
found home for it with strangers,
She claims that for four days after
the baby's birth he inserted an ad-
vertisement in the newspapers fol
some one to take care of the child,
and after that the child was taken
away from the house.
The woman constantly question
ed her husband as to the where
abouts of their baby, and wearied
by the questions and her pleadingl
