YACHT PLANS

The committee in charge OF seeing
that Hawaii II represented In the COM
ing transpaclnc yacht race IL hard at
work and number OF plans have been
suggested which are now being consid-
cred by Its members. There IL no un-
due haste being used. but the matters
which have come up are being consid-
cred with elaboration and careful
Judgment.
The fact that this Territory will COM
pete has been settled and the object
of the committee is to encourage and
invite confidence. Already members OF
the community have made generous Of
fers in regard to subscriptions for the
yacht building fund One gentleman
has already offered to subscribe the
sum of $1,000 towards a fund to be used
in building a yacht In Honolulu. A
second has offered to subscribe the sum
OF $500 provided ten others willing to
subscribe the same amount can be
found.
The committee is full of assurance
that the needed sum can be raised with
out great difficulty. They estimate that
If each individual in the Territory.
which has 10000 population, should
subscribe the sum of ten cents, there
would be more than enough money on
hand to fulfill the plans which have
been made. In the same way, IL half
the population would subscribe twenty
cents, or quarter should subscribe
forty cents, the scheme would be as
sured.
The idea is to make the work as
general as possible. 1t has been sug-
gested that the privilege of naming the
yacht shall be given to the largest sub
scriber to the fund. 1t Is hoped that
the lumber necessary will be donated
by one of the local firms and that the
koa people will give enough of this
wood for the interior finishing.
It is also proposed that the school
be given part and that they
make and donate the new yachts en-
sign and pennant, or perhaps even a
full set of signal flags.
The committee will be ready by next
week to announce the plans which have
been made, and the soliciting of sub
scriptions will be commenced at once.

HUSTACE TALKS
ABOUT ALAA PARK

When asked for his position in re-
gard to the allowing of seats to be
sold by the Riverside League at the
baseball games at Aala Park, Chair
man Hustace, of the Board of Super
visors. said:
~ want To see the seats sold by
the League, but at the time when they
were ordered to stop this practise,
there was conflict ON between them
and the parkkeeper. The latter was
also selling seats and this fact occa-
stoned some trouble. l believe that
the parkkeeper should not have any
thing to do with selling the seats or
with anything else of that kind, and
hope that before the next meeting of
the Board the other members will see
that | am trying to do right and that
there is no politics being played by
me.
"The keeper, so l understand, al
lowed some of the soda water wagons
to come on the grounds and kept others
off. ordered that they be all kept
off in order that no favorites might
be played. / trust that by next Sun
day the matter will have been set
tied and that the League will be al
lowed to sell the seats as they desire
to-

Baseball Notes

There is one matter which should be
called to the attention of the various
members of the teams by their cap
tains. This the slow manner in which
the men go to the bat. They will walt
till the runner has reached first base,
then pick out their bat and slowly ad-
vance to the plate. This makes the
game longer and tires out the specta-
tors, who like to see fast play.
Lowrey is putting up good game
for the Puns at second. He can stand
little improvement in the field as
well as the bat. but has learned to
wait for his base on balls very nicely
Evers' stop of a hard liner with his
left hand was beauty and meant the
stopping of two runs.
+
The infielders are pretty well up
against it on account of the rough
remedy this before someone gets hurt.
Some attempt has been made but it
has been unsuccessful.
Ringland, who was a mainstay last
year when 1t came to batting, is weak
this year Practise would do a lot of
good. He Is not the only man on the
Pun team who might stand more work
in this line.
Olmos turned his old trick Tuesday,
working the pitcher for his base at
every opportunity. He might improve
his fielding but he certainly has made
good ct the bat.
4 \ \
Eddie Fernandez should lead in bat
ting by the way he has been pound
ing the ball. Eddie Desha has fallen
off bit in this line.
~
Leslie is getting to be sure enough
pitcher. Some of his hot ones sizzle
as they pass the plate.
Kuhina fielded and batted like a pro-
fesslonal. He has never showed such
good form before.
Darcy was there with the bat as
usual. He is the right man in tight
place.
Bert Bower has the confidence of
every player and spectator. He could
not be excelled as an umpire and many
strangers have commented on the free
ness of the game here from the I'M
PLEASANT kicking seen so often on the
mainland.

SUMMARY

stole second while Kia came home on
a passed ball before Hannah made the
third out.
The Heads missed a chance in the

and stole second and third from Ring
land, but was caught at the plate by
a nice throw from A. Williams after

Jonah went out to first and with two
men on base Leslie famed.
Nothing more started till the seventh
When the Heads tied the score. Fer
nandez walked, and got to third on

over Williams and pounded him for
four clean runs. Clark walked. Sam
Chillingworth hit safe to right, send
ing him to third. Williams fumbled
Van vliet's hard grounder while Clark

Fernandez drove safe to right. sending
him to third. Darcy sent cutter be-
tween short and third, Olmos and Fer
