CHINESE TEAMS
To MEET TODAY
AIohas viii Play Athletics at
the Aala Grounds This
Afternoon.

There viii be something doing at
Aala Park this afternoon when the
Chinese Alohas meet the Chinese Ath-
letics in a baseball game. 1t will be
played after the first game between
the Kaala A. G. and the Nippon"
nine.
Capt. Berger will have his band in
attendance and with the two games
of baseball the fans will have real
treat with admission charged.
The Kaalas and the Japs will cross
bats in the first game, which will be-
gin at 1870 D. na. It can be expected
that the two teams will put up nice
game, as they are evenly matched.
The japanese nine have not yet won
game in the second series and Man
ager Yasumori is going to have a win
ning team on the field for today.
The second spasm will be between
the Chinese AIohas and the Chinese
A. c. Both of these teams can play
fine ball and this game will be one
of the most interesting of the season.
It will also probably decide the cham
pionship of the second series. The
Alohas will be handicapped in this
game, as Ho Yup, their star twirler
will be seen on the bench with a lame
arm. Yup will probably not be seen
again in the diamond for the season.
as the injury he received some time
ago is getting serious. j. Kaimi, who
did some good work in the box for the
Alohas in the past, will fill Yup's
place, with A. Akana behind the bat.
BASEBALL NOTES.
Quon Chew, the first baseman of the
Alohas will be in today's game against
the Chinese Athletics.
Jack Flores will again try to puzzle
the Kaala nine with his benders.
V. Ayaus the star player of the Chi
nese Alohas will hold down short for
his team.
John Lo and Chi Bui will form the
G. A. c. battery today.
On Labor Day, the Chinese Alohas
and the Palama A. C. will play a game
of baseball at the league grounds pre-
yious to the St, Louis V. picked nine.
These are the two teams that hold the
record of the island for extra inning
games of baseball
John Annoy will pitch for the Chi
nese team in tomorrow's game. Annoy
has some good benders.

LION TO PLAY
THE KANGAROO

One again the Honolulu cricket team
has flung down the gauntlet, challeng-
ing all corners to meet them in deadly
conflict on their old battle grounds at
Makiki. This challenge was first
made known shortly after the last VIC
tory over the Restorer team. For the
first few days after the challenge had
been given out, it seemed that Cap
tain Maclain, like Alexander the
Great, would cry in vain for new
teams to conquer. However, it turn
ed out otherwise, Captain Maclain be-
ing informed a few days ago, that his
challenge would be taken UP, but this
time not under the name of their old
antagonist, the Restorer, but in the
name of Australia. There Is no doubt
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-09-01

that this match will not only be the
most exciting but the hardest struggle
that up to the present has ever been
witnessed on the Makih ground. Ever
since the game of cricket was known,
England and Australia have been at
war with each other, each trying to
gain the supremacy and it must be ad-
mitted that John Bull has on many
occasions received some very nasty
kicks from the Kangaroo" 1t is now
up to him to return some of those
kicks, with interest and check if pos
sible the cry of Advance Australia"
The match will commence sharp at
l:S0 p. m. on Monday afternoon at
Makiki cricket ground. The public in
general are cordially invited to wit
ness this battle between the Lion and
the kangaroo, where a good game and
shady seats can be promised.

KEPT WALKING.

Controller Metz of New York said
the other day of a bill that he dis
liked: II object to this bill because
it would accomplish nothing. 1t would
be like the case of the actor and the
canal boat captain. There was once
upon a time an actor who, after an
enforced idleness of two months, was
lucky enough to Secure an engagement
in a town twenty-five miles away.
The case was a hurry up one. The
actor had to reach the distant town
that night If he failed to arrive, then
his part would be assigned TO some
one else. Well, the man patched
his worn boots with patent thread,
pinned up his few belongings in
newspaper, and set out in the early
morning on foot along the tow-path.
He had only few coppers, hence the
train was an impossibility. But after
the poor fellow had covered some six
or seven miles his boots gave out,
blisters rose on his feet, fatigue over
came him, and in despair he threw
himself on the grass beneath a tree.
AS he lay there in a bitter mood,
canal boat hove in sight. 1t drew
near slowly, and an idea seized the
actor. 'Captaini' he shouted, rising
hurriedly Captain, pull up, for the
love of heaven! We'll, wot dye
want?' said the captain, as he stop
ped the boat. Captain said the actor,

THE HAGUE, July 1.-THE sentiment
of the delegates to the peace confer
ence regarding the question that has
arisen between the United States and
Japan is that the situate l. unfortu-
nate for both countries and the original
Incident causing the ,ension between
the two countries Is disproportionate
to the grave results which may follow.
The question the delegates think Is
likely to create a hostile atmosphere
endangering their reciprocal commerce
to which the former friendly relations
has opened a vast field.
Although the sending of a fleet by the
United States to the Pacific coast can
not be interpreted as threat 1t is gen.
orally admitted here that such action
may give rise to dangerous popular ex-
citement, which the men at Washing

nut to crack The Russians remark
that the predictions o6 Witte that the
next war will be between Japan and

Japanese delegates believe that both
governments at Washington and at
Tokio-sincerely wish to reach an un-
derstanding and will not be influenced
by jingoism.
Some of the Germans here are of the
opinion that the situation may lead to
an Americana German entente, which,
while preventing the isolation of Ger
many, would be the strongest compact
against Brish supremacy.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July THE
significance of Rear Admiral Brown
sons addition to the somewhat meager
information which has come from Pres
ident Roosevelt regarding the contern-
plated two-ocean maneuvers of the At
lantic battleship fleet is regarded here
as having been overlooked in the COM
ment, experts and otherwise, which
has since been indulged in on both con-
tinents.
Admiral Brownson came to Oyster
Bay Friday to take lunch with the
president. Processing entire ignorance
of the maneuver plans when he left
Sycamore Hill to take the train for
Washington, the admiral had one
thought which he wished emphasized
that it was desirable and important to
demonstrate to the world how quickly
the American navy could transfer it's
| fighting strength from one ocean to the
other. This was distinctly an addition
to the presidents previous statement
issued through Secretary Loeb, wherein
the object of the maneuver was said
1
benefit of the navy, to perfect its train
| ing in fleet exercises on an extended
scale, the purpose and, effect of the
plan being for the benefit of the navy
alone.
What came from President Roosevelt
through Admiral Brownson is decidedly
a different and much broader design.
President Roosevelt has been consistent
in advocating a. large navy as the guar
antee of peace between the United
States and all foreign powers. Hereto
fore a large navy has been reckoned
solely from the point of view of the
number of ships, their tonnage, armor,
guns and fighting capacity. With this
idea the American navy has grown
steadily, ship by ship.
For Demonstration
To the interesting array of ships and
tonnage. President Roosevelt now pro-
poses to demonstrate to the world a
somewhat startling demonstration of
what the American navy is capable of
doing to protect either or both of the
extended shores of the United States.
AS Admiral Brownson said. There is
no time like the present for such a
demonstration a time when the
United States is at peace with every
nation. In everything that has come
from the president regarding the move
ment, it has been indicated that the
fleet, wherever it may go, is to be
brought back TO the Atlantic, and that
the return is to be as great demon
