STUNTS FOR NEW
YEAR CARNIVAL
Strange and WondrOus Scenes
Will Be Witnessed at the
Ball Grounds.

The next real event in the line of
sports will take place on New Years
Day, at the league baseball grounds.
1t will be the benefit given for the
transpacific yacht, and the comical
reasures will be such that all will
have a chance to get a good laugh
out of the exhibition
The dressmakers of the city have
been kept busy for the last few days
creating costumes for the twenty
seven members of the Floradora sex
tet," which, as one of the managers
said yesterday, lis no worse than a
Hawaiian quintet with eleven pieces. ;"
There will be takeoffs on many peo-
pie in the city and those who are
lucky enough to get off easy will have
chance to laugh at the others.
Charlie Hall has sent to Honoipu tc
have his costume made, and il is
stated quietly that it will be limited
only by the rules which the fire de-
partment may enforce. Sam Walker
had his costume brought over from
Japan on the Korea, but refuses to
give out what it is. The story is go
ing round that he is to go as a Geisha
girl and will have both feet tied to-
gether, so that they may not tangle
with each other.
The Indoor Yacht Club, of which
Leon H. Cooke is commodore, is ar
ranging for a special feature, and
Vice Commodore Pop" Splitter will
be in his glory in command of the
fast schooner Hand Me-Down."

FOR
DICK REUTER-

Dick Reuter-. the Kan pitcher who
made such a hit with the members of
the Spalding team when they were
here from the Coast, is almost cer=
tain to take up some of the offers,
which have been and will be made
him, to play in the Coast League in
the coming season. He has already
been sent a contract by Danny Long.
the San Francisco manager, who
wants him to play for $125 per month.
This has not been signed as yet, and
unless something goes wrong Dick will
get more money than that when he
goes to work at baseball for a living.
Henley the long. lank pitcher from
San Francisco. before he came down,
was instructed by Long 10 watch Reu-
ters work and see what could be made
out of him. When Henley left he
said that he had liked the way the
big Kan player had handled himself
and would make a good report.
Donahue. who caught Reuter- in the
games that he pitched here, was en-
thusiastic over him, and stated that
he would boost him in every way when
he got 10 Portland, where he was go
ing TO stop on Donahue next sea-
son will be with the Boston Amari-
cans, but he will see McCreedie, TIE
Portland manager, before going East,
and Will put an idea in his head in
SregaId TO a couple of the local ball
players. AS the result of the reports
made by him it would not be surpris-
ing if Reuter- got a chance to play
at much better salary than $125 per
month. which. it must be remembered,
is for only eight months in the year.

WINNERS SHARE
SIXTY PER CENT
John Wise Has Good Idea to
Improve Baseball
Playing.

/ In reference to the article which ap-
peared in the Advertiser last Sunday,
commenting on the fact that the base
ball players in this city were looking
for money, and neglecting to put up
the game of ball which they could with
more practise, Manager John Wise of
the Kamehameha team, said yester-
day:
Il think that the article in the Adj
vertiser was little too hard on the
players on our team, at any rate. In
some ways, though, it was certainly
correct. There is no doubt that more
practise would result in better base
ball. 1 can promise you that next
year the Kams will make a good show
ing. In the old days when we played
at the Makiki grounds and charged adj
mission for the first time, there was
no trouble over this, as the winning
team got sixty. per cent and the losing
team forty per cent of the profits.
II tried to have this rule used in the
present league, but the other teams
would not stand for it. I was at the
time manager of the H. A. c. team, and
the others thought that I was trying
to get this rule through because had
the strongest team. I wanted to see 1t
on account of the fact that 1t made all
the boys try hard to win and there
was more hard work than there is now.
when it comes to talking of making
money, the boys have made little. In
fact we owe some bills from the last
season that we have not yet paid.
They have done their best and viii
keep on trying. I am afraid that we
will miss Reuter- a great deal during
the coming season, as he will probably
go to the Coast. He is a good hard
working boy, without a bit of pretense
and he wants to learn all the time.
Outside of Reuter-, and Barney Joy,
believe that Leslie, who was with
the Diamond Heads last year, is the
best man in the box in the city. The
Heads want him next year. I hear
that the st. Louis team claims to have
him signed, and then hear again that
the Heads have got him. He really
ought to be with us. as he is a Kane
hameha boy and his right place is on
our team
he makes good he will be in line for
big salary. In. the preliminary prac-
tise. which, with the Boston team,
generally takes place in Georgia or
North Carolina. he will have a chance
to profit by the coaching of older and
more experienced players and will
probably pick up good many hints
that may help him in the future.

NEW RACERS
IN HONOLULU

While racing in Hawaii has fallen
upon somewhat evil days, the sport of
kings is not by any means dead. To-
morrow there viii be match race at
EVA between Joe Leafs Defender and
Louis Warren's Indigo, the distance
being three-eighths of mile.
There is a probability of the win
net of the match being challenged by
Herman Van Dvck, a local sportsman,
who has recently imported the race
mares Triiby Green and Yola Girl. Both
these mares are reported to possess
class and should be heard from in the
near future. Trilbv Green is by All

The BARRIERS Charity.

Army. was discussing in New York the
anti-sucide bureaus that his church has
opened.
Kindness and charity" he said, ARE
factors of these bureaus. The charity will

you know, two kinds of charity, and too
much of 1t Is like the BARRIERS.

TRADE WITH FRANCE.
Efforts to Be Made to Reach a General
Agreement

The attitude of the French government in
declining to accept as sufficient for import
purposes the tag of the Agricultural De-
partment affixed to fresh meats has con-
WINGED the State Department officials that
the time has arrived when the effort must
be made to reach a general agreement with
France to govern the trade relations be-
tween the two governments. Although the
present issue is not considered a serious
one, 1t has served to direct the attention
of the officials to the necessity of framing
a program for the treatment of all these
issues that are developing between France
and the United States.
In view of the failure of Congress to as
sent to any of the proposed reciprocity
treaties to which the State Department had
committed Itself in principle, notably In
the case OF the pending French treaty, the
officials are embarrassed in laying out a
course of action that will prevent a gem
eral tariff war. Their course would have
become easier had Congress- while declin-
ing to approve the French treaty. indicated
what its own desires were. In the alb
sence Of any such definition of policy, the
State Department officials are facing the
necessity of framing some other method
of dealing with this important question
than the one favored at the beginning.

EXHIBIT OF POSTERS
WORK OF HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
MERITS HIGH PRAISE.

Sixty or more posters made by the stu
dents in the Washington High Schools to
advertise the song festival by the children
of the public schools for the benefit Of the
public Fairgrounds were exhibited for the
past three days in Veerhoff's gallery. All
were we'll considered and some were exceed
ingly clever. The first prize of So. offered
by the Public Fairgrounds Association,
was awarded to the poster submitted by
Alfred Schmidt, and the second prize Of
S. to one by Ella May Cummings. while
honorable mention was accorded the work
OF Theodore Bolton. Mr. Schmidt and Miss
Cummings are both second-year students at
the Mckinley school. but Mr.. Bolton IL
enrolled at the Western. These three pos
tiers in particular showed originality. artis-
tic perception and appreciation Of their
special requirements. hut there were nu-
merous others which likewise merited high
praise. In fact, It was altogether credit
able showing and demonstrated graphically
the value of the practical art training
which Is now being given In the public
schools. The competition was announced
less than a fortnight ago. and the posters
were prepared by the students without as
sistance. Though the object of the art
courses in the public schools is to cult
velop artists. II is doubtful II from the
average art school better results would
have been obtained. The lettering especially
was notable and manner OF handling the
designs exceptionally good. After these pos
tiers have served their purpose they viii.
1t Is understood, be sold at auction for the
further benefit of the Fairgrounds fund.
The jury to award the prizes was COM
posed of Mrs. Alice Barney. Mr. James
