BARNEY JOY WINS
TWO FAST GAMES

PORTLAND, July 1s.-Barney Joy,
who was taken out of the box yes
terday when things looked squally for
the Seals, requested permission of Cap
tain Mohler to go in today and trim
the Beavers, and his request was
granted. He showed that his conf
dence was we'll founded by holding the
locals down to five little singles. For
the third consecutive time San Fran
cisco nosed out one run to the good.
Califf, the Oregon City wonder, was
detailed by Manager McCredie to take
the Seals measure and chase the hoo
doo. Califf had the correct decoction,
which he administered in the most op-
proved fashion for four innings. Then
he got his wires crossed. In the fifth
the visitors scored two runs, which
proved an elegant sufficiency. In the
next inning they made three hits
again. but there was nothing doing for
the swiss bellringer.
Portland's infield had nearly all the
fielding chances, Schimpff getting nine
assists and four putouts, with one er-
TOT, which might as well have been
charged to Atherton.
PORTLAND, July 21.-Barney Joy
seems better every time he appears on
the local diamond. Today he had ev-
erything-speed, control and a good
mixture.
Il was a shut-out game for the Beav-
ers and san Francisco made four runs.
Four safe hits formed the sum total
OF the Portland harvest. The big
southpaw from kanaka land had the
left handed Portland batters knock
ing little infield pop-ups while the
right-handed men did not often get
the bail out Of the diamond. Nc
Credie was the single exception. He
batted in his usual form and made two
clean two baggers. Califf was not hit
hard, but lacked control.
The Beavers did not get past second
but once. and reached that station on
~ couple of times. In the ninth af-
ter McCredie had doubled. Basse beat
a bunt to Williams, sending the man
ager to third, but that was all for the
next man was out on a pop-fiy. At
tendance was large. The Seals left to-
night for the South. Los Angeles will
open here Tuesday.

INCREASED REVENUE
FROM LAND OFFICE

Land Commissioner Pratt is Just CON-
pleting his report for the year, for
transmission to Governor Carter. 1t
will include comparative showing of
the work done during the past three
years and half, and during the pre-
vious three years and a half. Among
other comparative statements will be
one showing that the revenue to the
Territory through the land office in
the past three years and half has ex-
ceeded that of the previous three years
and half by about $4,000 while the
expenses have been about $4,000 less.
A complete showing of the rent rolls
from public land in the Territory is
made. This shows that the annual
rentals now are but about $4,000 less
than they were seven years ago not
withstanding the fact that large areas
of the public land formerly under lease
has since been disposed of through set
tlement associations, right of purchase
leases and otherwise.

H|LO FANS PICK
ALL-HAWA|I TEAM

The makeup of the All-Hawaii base
ball team, which is to play against the
Coast team which "Mique" Fisher is to
bring here, is not only worrying Homo
lulu but also Hilo fans. They feel
that the island of Hawaii should be
represented as well as Oahu, though
they are generous enough to give this
city the lions share of the positions
on the team.
A letter from Hilo reads as follows:
Hilo, Hawaii, July 26th, 1907.
Editor Advertiser: We submit the
following list of the players. who we
would consider the best obtainable to
play against the Pacific Coast team:
Pitchers: Barney Joy, Jack Will
liams Papaaloa), Dick Reuter- and
Hampton.
Catcher: C. B. Lyman, oliver Jones.
First base: Gleason (Capt)
Second base: Sam Mahuka CWai-
mea).
Third base: Hampton and A. Will
liams.
Shortstop: Evers.
Left field: E Fernandez.
Center field: Ed. Desha.
Right field: Darcy.
Yours very truly,
HILo FANS.
P. S.-Don't think Sam Mahuka is a
dead one, for he is not.

SIERRA MAY COME.

In spite of the fact that the Alameda
il booked to make one more trip o
this port before laying up for repairs
1t is strongly limited that the Sierra
will come aown in her place There
are at present twenty more passengers
booked en- the Alameda than she can
accommodate, but number OF these
will probably back out before the ve5-
sci sails. If the Sierra should come
down she could easily accommodate
all who wish to go and have plenty
of room to spare. Irwin and company
yesterday afternoon were not certain
on the matter but were awaiting the
arrival of a cable dispatch on the sub
iect

POLO PONIES ARE
HERE FROM MAUI

The arrival of the Claudine yester-
day morning from Maui, bringing the
polo ponies which will be used by the
Makawao team in the coming matches
against Oahu, was the event of the
day in polo circles. Eighteen ponies,
in charge of trainer Tommy Patterson,
arrived and the best judges in the
city stated that they are the finest
set of ponies which have ever been
seen on these islands.
The Maui boys depreciate the an
nouncement that they have the fastest
ponies which have played the game
but if the eighteen which came in
yesterday are only slow ones, their
looks belle them. For an evenly grad
ed lot of ponies they far surpass any
which have been seen at Moanalua.
There may be one or two local ponies
who can outfoot the Maui mounts, but
unless looks deceive greatly, there
should be speed and endurance shown
in the steeds from Makawao.
Harold Rice, who has been appoint
ed manager of the Maui polo aggre-
cation, was among the passengers on
the Claudine and Immediately con-
ferred with John Fleming, the man
ager for the local team. The list of
officials for the games is yet to be
picked out but there will be no diff
Guilty over this matter, as the men
suggested by one are certain to meet
with the approval of the other and
there is plenty of good material from
which to pick.
The Maui team will be here on
Tuesday, arriving by the Mauna Loa.
AS soon as they have stretched their
legs after the trip across, they will
start in practise and there should be
a good sized crowd out to see what
their work is like. The Maui team
has been greatly strengthened by the
addition of Sam Baldwin, the Yale
player, who, through his experience in
the East is much stronger than he has
been when seen here on previous oc-
casions. Frank Baldwin may be relied
on to play his usual game, which is
SOOA
ritory, while Krumbhaar and Fleming
will not be far behind.
From the present outlook the Maui
team will either defeat the Oahu team
in the first game or play them to
standstill. The local enthusiasts would
not be in the least averse to seeing a
tie game to start with, and it is only
too likely to be the case, as man for
man there is little choice. Team play
is what will win. If the Maui men
can get together better than Capt.
Dillingham's men and can hold their
own for the first two periods, the
game should be theirs.
The Oahu team will start off with
a rush and, contrary to the usual game
which has been played here, will try
to rush their opponents off their feet.
Whether this will be a success or not
is doubtful, but the local men should
know what they are about and this
sort of play makes the game all the
better for the spectators.

STRAUs AND |sHN
IN CONSULTATION

Secretary Straus passed a busy day
yesterday, visiting the immigration Of
fees in the morning and making a
lengthy inspection there, and receiv-
ing a number of official callers in the
afternoon at his apartments at the Mo-
ana. among his callers being Commits
sioner X. Ishii, of the Japanese gov
ernment.
At the immigration office the Secre-
tary was greeted by Inspector Brown
and was introduced by him to the va
rious employees of the department,
shaking hands with them all. With
his private secretary and the inspector,
Mr.. Straus then went to work in ac-
quiring information by the Socratic
method, plying the Inspector with
questions and having the answers not
ed by his secretary. The papers of the
station were gone through, methods OF
handling immigrants discussed and
general instructions for the guidance
of the station given.
After lunch Mr.. Straus was called
upon by Commissioner Ishii. who was
accompanied by Consul General Saito,
the two spending upwards of an hour
with the secretary, matters affecting
the immigration of Japanese to Hawaii
being dismissed.
Shortly after the departure of the
IL,
ernment a number of local Federal Of
ficials called upon Mr.. Straus. These
were DR.. Cofer, of the Federal Quar-
antine Service; DR.. Brinckerhoff, of the
Marine Hospital Service; E. R. Stack
able, Collector of the Port, and R. c.
Brown, immigration Inspector. These
gentlemen spent some time in consul
tation with the cabinet officer.

MORE PAY FOR MEN
IN NATIONS NAVY

Chronicle.-Pay Inspector T. J.
Cowle of the navy has been engaged
for some months on the subject of
service pay, and has prepared draft
of a bill designed to increase the pay
of both officers and enlisted men. His
proposed bill provides generally for an
increase of about 10 per cent in the
pay of general officers, 10 per cent In
the pay of field officers, 20 per cent in
the pay of captains and lieutenants
and % per cent in the pay of enlisted
men. Already there are evidences of
disagreements, which if persisted in,
may result in Congress refusing to act
favorably on the question in any
shape, local army officers state.
In order to make the service uni
form of officers more distinguishable
from that of enlisted men the War De-
partment has decided to change the
color of the sleeve braid of line off
GERS from black to brown. Staff Off
GERS will retain the black braid. This
decision is the result of suggestions
made as to changes in the rank de-
vices of officers and in other details
of officers uniforms, in order that the
rank of officers might be more easily
ascertained from the uniform. 1t was
suggested that second lieutenants be
designated by one bar; first lieuten-
ants by two bars; captains by three
bars; majors by one leaf; lieutenant
colonies by two. leaves, and colonels
by three leaves or the eagle, and that
the braid indicating rank on the sleeve
of the overcoat and full-dress coat be
retained. beginning with one braid for
second lieutenant, and an additional
braid for each higher grade. AS the
plan would involve considerable ex-
pense. 1t was not approved.

ALL NOW READY
FOR BECKLEY CUP

The preparations for the yacht race
TO take place Sunday for the Beckley
Cup are completed and from the pres
ent indications the contest should be
one OF the best ever seen in the is
lands. The yachts viii race over the
triangular course which was laid down
by Admiral Beekley when he offered
the trophy, which is one of the finest
ever given in the islands. The start
VIII be from a line drawn between
the lighthouse at the harbor entrance
anl the Healani Boathouse. The yachts
viii then sail to a stake boat, which
VIII lie anchored well off Diamond Head
and return to The entrance of Pearl
Harbor. They will then come back

IN the race last year have been con
sideted by the Regatta Committee, as
have the results of the race this year
for the Governor s Cup, and while they
have been made already and will not
he given out till the race is finished
il Is certain that there will be some
changes made which viii ensure a
close contest.
OF the yachts entered, which include
the entire irst-class feet of the Ha
waii Yacht Club, the Kapolei is look
ed on to make one of the best show
ings. She Is the smallest of the first
class yachts, but is extremely fast in
a light breeze. She is owned by Man
ager Renton, of Honolulu Plantation
and l. saileG uy his son. If she does
not finish among the first three it viii
cause disappointment among many of
th9 local yaehtsmen who would like to
So her make a strong showing.
-e kamehameha is without doubt
the hest yacht in the harbor at pres
ent. but she VIII be handicapped to
sGch an extent that she should be or
even terms with the other boats. The
Gladys, which has been the queen of
the feet till the first real tryout of
the hamehameha in the race for the
Governors Cup, can pe depended on
10 do well. Whether she should be
given an allowance over the Kameha-
meha in the. Beckley race in the minds
of the Regatta Committee will not be
known till the race j. ended
The following letter has been sent
10 the owners of the yachts which Will
participate in the Beckley Cup race,
by the hegatta Committee:
Honolulu, T. H., Aug. I, 1907.

PUEBLO, Colo. July 1S.-Jim Flynn
won easily here tonight from Dave
Barry of Chicago in the seventh round
of what was scheduled to have been a
2O-round bout. Barry was outclassed
throughout and was badly battered by
Flynn. In the sixth round he was
floored by a terrific right to the jaw
and the gong alone saved him. When
the seventh opened he was still weak
and Flynn knocked him through the
ropes.
Barry's right eye was closed in the
second and his left eye was almost
closed when the seventh round opened.

Death of Abner W. Smith.

Abner Wyman Smith, son of Daniel M.
and Mary P. Smith, was born at Con-
cord, August 20, 1880, and died at the
home of his parents at East Concord,
July 2, 1907.
His boyhood days were spent upon his
fathers farm, where early in life he de-
veloped those sterling qualities which
characterized his after life Although a
faithful worker on the farm, he was de-
sirous of obtaining an education that
would afford him a broader field of use
fulness and after attending the district
schools of his native town, where he dis
played an unusual aptitude for learning
he taught few terms, and then took
the course of stud at the Vermont State
Normal School at Johnson, graduating
therefrom in the summer of 1902; before
the completion of this course he deter
mined to adopt the profession of the
law, and pursuant to such determination
he entered upon the study of law in the
office of May & Hill at St. Johnsbury in
January, 1903, where he pursued his
studies until March 7, 1904, when he
entered the office of Albro F. Nichols,
pursuing his studies and acting as
deputy county clerk, where by genial
courtesy he became popular with all. In
September of the same year he entered
the law department of the University of
Michigan at Ann Arbor. From this in
stitution he graduated in the summer of
1905, completing the three year course
in one year. He then returned to the
county clerks office, remaining there un-
til January %, 1906.
In October 1906, he took the examna-
tions for admission to the Vermont bar,
showing fine abilities and keen percep-
tions in the principles flaw, in fact, be-
ing the leader of his class. The time for
study prescribed by the rules of court
not having elapsed, his admission was
postponed by the court until the Janu-
ary term, 1906, at which time he was
admitted to practice in the courts OF
this state. February 1st, 1906, he
formed partnership with ]. Rolf Searles;
this firm did a remarkably good bust
ness tor young men, ana all predicted TO
them great future success; this partner
ship continued until February 1907,
when Mr. Smith entered into partner
ship with the firm of Dunnett & Slack,
but by reason of failing health he re-
mained an active member of this firm
only few days.
Mr. Smith was young man of sterl-
ing character, of high order Of ability,
full of strength and courage and in all
things faithful, in fact, the embodiment
of true manhood.
In his death noble life has been cut
down in its springtime, vet it has been a
life in which his friends can feel just pride
and the assurance that it was the
accomplishment of all that time allowed,
a life around which will ever cluster
tenderest memories.
The funeral will be held Friday after
noon at his late home at 4 o'clock

Fourth of July Observance,

The village trustees wish to call the
attention of the public through the
columns of the CALEDoNIAN to Article "a
of our village Bylaws which reads as
follows:
mo person shall fire any guns, pistols,
squibs, crackers, cannon or swivel, nor
throw any fire balls within the streets or
commons of the village, unless by leave
of the trustees"
The trustees do not wish to be officious
in this matter, but respectfully ask the
parents and citizens generally to help
the officers enforce this Bylaw,
especially before midnight of July and
in all parts of this village where there
are cases of illness. Everybody is en-
titled to the privilege of celebrating the
national holiday, but the trustees hope
and believe it can be done without injury
to property or without endangering
human life

Manager Healey, who has been with
the New England Telephone Company
13 years, says last weeks storms did
more damage to wires than in all his
telephone experience. Concord has IT'S
subscribers, and the storm which killed
Mr.. Rainey at Victory put every line in
that section out of commission. In Sum-
merville the lightning burned out cable,
and throughout this village there were
nearly so lines in trouble the last of the
week.
After the Fourth the farmers will be-
gin haying. The extreme hot weather
and the constant rains have greatly
helped the hay crop, but it will not be an
average crop, as the young grass was
badly frosted early in the season.
