In the Evening World, the other night.
Bozeman Bulger. the baseball expert, has
an interesting story TO tell OF the way
"Muggsy" McGraw directs his club from
the bench. He says OF Mac:
''IIe never critlcises "A player for maxi
ing an error OF commission, that is or
the hand and not the head.
He never criticises batter for iali-
ing to make a hit where II Is needed.
SWhen batters are changed In an ex-
treme effort 10 make a hit he accepts the
entire responsibility In case OF failure.

He docs not consider them as individuals.
They are to him, integral parts OF ma
chine. and in case OF success or defeat
one Is looked upon with no more favor
or disfavor than the other.
"While no player Is ever blamed for
making an error he would be skinned
alive with caustic words fol committing
an act OF stupidity, no matter if the play
resulted good bad or Indifferent.

That latest of Kauai's candidates
for the Pacific States Tour is a Won
der
Only few weeks go = = Rose
Aloiau was hardly considered a Sc
rious factor in the contest. Last
week she came up among the first six
and this week she has distanced all
competitors except Miss Todd of Hilo
and holds second place by very
healthy margin.
That shows you what a mistake it
is to believe that at this stage Of the
contest or at any stage of the con-
test there is any propriety in fgur-
ing any competitor as outside any
prospect of becoming winner. Miss
Aloiau's friends landed the much-cov
Feted position by casting over twenty
FIVE thousand votes, and they do say
that the supporters of this young wo-
man have designs on the first place,
as Kauai has never yet played second
to anyone.
The next largest vote cast was for
Callie Lucas of Honolulu and it ad-
vanced her from fifth to fourth place.
The marked feature about Miss Lu-
cas- vote this week was the 1872 sim
gle ballots clipped from the Bulletin
which her friends cast for her.
The advance of Miss Aloiau and
Miss Lucas put Hattie Saffery back to
third place, and Miss Mundon drop
ped from fourth to sixth. Miss En-
ma Rose went up one and is very
close to the hundred thousand class.
She changed places with Miss Mai
lima, the Olaa favorite. Miss Kuulei
Hapai also dropped down two places
but she is still strong in the hundred
thousand row.
Among the other candidates there
was no marked change after the bal
lots had all been counted Thursday
evening Miss Irene Boyd holds her
twn and Miss Emma J. Clark keeps
close beside her. Miss Alice Green's
friends are consistent in their sup
port and will undoubtedly see that
this popular young woman is forged
to the front in the next few weeks,

At FIRE INQUEST

The first hearing in the Punahou
fire inquest was held at the police sta
ton this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock.
President Grifiiths was the first wit
ness examined. HI gave full history
of the fire and the means which were
taken to fight it, as well as of the con-
tract price of the building and the in
surance by which it was covered both
by the contractor and the college.
Griffiths had III company with Others
visited the building twice during the
afternoon before Lne fire, leaving it for
The last time at about D. m. At that
time there were no shavings or similar
waste material or paints left on the
premises, and the only ones who were
doing anything in the line of paint
work were two Japanese who were
rubbing down a stain. No employees
had been discharged from the college
Tor long time past, and Griffiths was
unable to give any clue which might
throw light on the mystery which
at present envelopes the origin OF the
fire.

SCHOOL MATTERS ON
HAWAII AND MAUI
Conditions Generally
Satisfactory, Says
Babbitt
SUPERINLE LENDENT RETURNS
FROM TOUR OF INSPECTION
All the Teachers Are Preparing to
Take the Examination at the
End of the Present
Month

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion Babbitt returned yesterday from
his tour of inspection of the schools
on Hawaii and Maui with fine coat
Of tan and a large store of new infor-
nation. He made almost a complete
circuit of Hawaii, visiting all the
schools of Kona, Kau, Puma and also
the Hilo schools. On Maui he took
in the schools from Kipahulu to
Hama and visited also Waihee and
Lahaina.
On the whole, Mr.. Babbitt found
things in fairly satisfactory condi-
ton. Throughout both the Islands
he found practically all the teachers
preparing to take the examinations
which are to be held on the 9th and
2Sth Of this month, and he is Of the
opinion that there will be no dearth
of them will hold certificates.
Normal school teachers are badly
needed in North and South Kona,
hut the Superintendent states that in
order to get them better arrange
ments must be made for their accom-
modation. 1t is in many places i'm
possible for them to get board and
lodging and arrangements must be
made for cottages if good teachers
are to be gotten.
Many of the schools are much over
crowded. In two or three instances
Mr.. Babbitt thinks the policy of CEN
tralization could be put into effect
with good results. In Puma, for in
stance, he thinks the Kamaili add
kauaea schools could be combined to
advantage. A man is now at work
getting data and the two schools may
be consolidated. In at least one 9TH
Ell instance the same action is con-
templated, though nothing definite
has as yet been done in the matter.
Throughout Kona and Kau Mr..
Babbitt found the school buildings
generally in fair condition. In a
good many places, however, money
could be spent to advantage on the
grounds.
The Superintendent praises very
