Dorr Ketch Might
Represent Hawaii

Among the boats which are being
considered by the Hawaii Yacht Club
as possible representatives of Hawaii
in the Transpacific race of next year is
what is known as the Dorr ketch, of
San Diego. This yacht has been called
to the attention of the club by +. NJ.
Tandy, one of the best authorities on
yachts on the Coast. He is associated
with Crowninshield, the best known
yacht builder on the Pacific and has
the history of every boat which
amounts to anything in his line at his
fingers ends.
Crowninshield has offered to build
yacht for the Hawaii Club, if the de-
cision is to build, and suggests that the
attention be paid solely to the outside
and not to the interior. He advises
that a boat be built for speed, though
not a racing machine and the inside
finishing be made as plain as possible.
He says that a strong boat is certain
ly necessary for such trip and that
he will guarantee a combination of
strength and speed if given the work
to do.

SPOR

The interschoIastic series of baseball
games is nearly pau, and as far as
Oahu College is concerned has ended.
The last game in the dual league exist
ing between the Punahous and the
Kams was played on Wednesday.
The Punahous, confident of victory
before the season began. have lived up
to the standard set by their coach, Mr..
Fits. in manner which has satisfied
all lovers of baseball. Both the first
and second teams were ready to face
all corners and won every game in
which they played.
The third team has not the same
They, also, have won every game which
they have played, but the readiness to
play was not as pronounced as with
the other teams. They are younger and
more inexperienced, which probably
accounts for this fact.
Something is lacking in the Kameha-
meha team. Practically the only good
players are Lota and Kalimapehu, the
Kan battery. The rest, though no or
can say they do not try hard, need
more practise. Their batting is fair,
but their fielding will stand improve
nient.
The High School shows up as the
poorest in the list. With the exception
of one game played with the Kams,
yrrI,i hafr orA-
ponents they gave away the game. One
remarkable feature is the fact that,
even though they were steady losers,
the lack of interest taken in practise
by the nine was very noticeable. High
School had an excellent coach in Prof.
Blanchard, a Harvard man, and loaded
with baseball to his fingertips. There
is really no excuse for the losses which
the team sustained other than that they
were simply lazy.
The Punahous at first refused to play
them telling them to wait until they
had a reputation and it was the Pu-
nahou II. which played against High /.

they played in the last games follow:

Hampton in Box
Against the Rams

The game next Saturday between the
deal of interest and the fans are TAX
ing the matter up in earnest. Reuter-
is about as good pitcher as can be
found on the islands today but, for
some reason, which cannot be easily
understood, the Punahou boys have all
ways taken kindly to his delivery. He
will have to pitch some fast ball if he
is going to win out with the Puns
batting as they did last week.
Hampton will probably be in the box
for the Puns as it is thought best to
give Johnny Williams a rest and the
new man will fill in as well as anyone
could ask, It is stated that Eddie Desha
will not pitch at all this year but will
stay on first base, where Bob McCor-
riston was until the shake up occasion
by the signing of Hampton.
When the Tenth Infantry leaves for
Alaska on the Warren, which will be
in less than a month, the Puns may be
in a bad hole for a catcher. Ringland
will go and it is stated that Lyman,
whom the Puns have banked on as a
substitute, is going back to Hawaii for
the summer This will mean calling
Smiling Bob behind the bat if he can
be coaxed to take the position. He has
stated a number of times that he is
through with catching and that he will
not go behind the bat again for even
part of a game, but it will be UP to
Doc Monsarrat to show his powers of
persuasion in case this unlocked for
situation should occur.

THE EMBEZZLEMENTS
AND THEFTS IN 1906

The Chicago Tribune says: The total
OF embeZzlements and kindred thefts for
1906 amounts to slf,739 653. about s. ZOO. 900
more than last year. OF this total $40. .
7+5,Ss7 was stolen by officials OF banks.
81 .6s4, 554 by public officials. other than
than postoffice employees. s22.5S5 by the
latter. s37s,571 by agents. s2is. 100 from loan
associations. 1923 6S7 by means OF forger-
les, and the other defalcations, amounting
TO 81 .42S. $50 were so varied I'm their ma
ture that they must be classed as miscel-
lancuus.
The comparison with last year is not so
much 10 the discredit OF this year when
II is remembsyed that more than $1,000. 00O
of the money embezzled was taken by
three men--one In Chicago, one in Phila-
delphia. and one in Cuba. the agent OF a
New York house In each OF these three
cases the figures represent the total or
many years OF stealing which was dlsccv-
cred only this year. IL is unfair to charge
it all against the year 1906
A better comparison will be made with
the years 1894 20 1897. In 1894 the embez-
elements. etc. amounted 10 S25.23i112. and
for the next three years averaged over
0,00O.OO0 a year The special reason for
the losses OF 1894 was the consequences OF
the panic OF the year before. but 70 must
be remembered that the money I'm banks
at that time was only about half as much
as at present. II the percentage of loss
is considered the year 1896 is distinctly
better than 1895. 1896 or 1897. although tho
loss i'm dollars Is greater than any year

MAN OF SO YEARS is

Probably the oldest freshman in the

In which Mr. Long hangs to an idea.
Ever since he was a boy he has wanted
to so TO college. But the halls of learning
didn't seem To present any open doors TO
him at the age when most boys are en-
tering them. He had his bread and butter
to earn, as we'll as the necessity of con-

Still he managed TO pick up an educa-
tion along with his bread and butter, and
at last climbed into the editors chair Of
the Manson Journal. He has occupied that
chair for twenty-sx years.
In the meantime he has married. and
now has a son and daughter VINO will be

THE GREAT HEROfSM
OF HANNAH DUSTAN

II is a stirring, IL somewhat gruesome,
tale which is told of Hannah Dustan in
the December Recreation. Mrs. Dustan
was one OF our New England foremothers.
She lived in the Haverhill settlement, in
Massachusetts.
When the Indians, I'm March, 1897 killed
16 OF the settlers and carried 20 others off
as captives, Hannah Dustan was among
the latter. The Indians soon separated,
as was their custom after a foray, and
Mrs Dustan, Mary Neff and Samuel
Leonardson boy captured near Worces-
ter. Mass, became the charges OF a small
party OF two braves, three squaws and
seven children.
On the evening OF March 80, after a tor
turing march in inclement weather, they
were all encamped upon an island In the
Merrimack river, near the mouth of the
Contoocook. Mrs. Dustan had instructed
the boy 10 inquire OF one OF the Indians
as to their method of tomahawking an
enemy and securing his scalp. Little
dreaming OF the purpose behind the in
quiry. the Indian had pointed to his tenn
pie and said. Strike um here" follow
ing with graphic illustration OF the 9TH

The boy made careful report OF this TO
Mrs. Dustan. on the morning OF March
81, while the stars were still bright in tho
heavens and the Indians slept the, cour-
ageous women and the equally courageous
boy rose and. with the tomahawks OF
their captors, killed them all with the ex-
ception OF a child and wounded squaw,
who escaped into the woods. Then scut-
Ting all the canoes bu' one and putting
into that a gun. a tomahawk and such
food as they could find, they began their
homeward journey.
They had not gone far. however before
II was realized they had brought little
convincing proof OF their exploit with
