'9ISERS DECIDE
TO LOWER EWAS
Plantation Champions Given
Opportunity to Meet the
Terrible Users.

There is a general sentiment in the
'Tiser Office that something must be
done about the Eva Plantation bunch.
This has been growing for some time
and has been carefully fostered by the
chronicler of events who sees a chance
for some excitement.
Those Eva ball tossers have been
having things all their own way Ev-
cry Tuesday morning there appears in
these columns an account of an Eva
victory the previous Sunday. It is
supposed in this Office that the Ewanese
are feeling mighty sassy. The 'Tisers
are convinced that this feeling should
be reduced as soon as possible.
Everybody knows about the wonder.
full 'Tiser star aggregation of ball play
ers. Who was that said Waialua?'
1t is true that the Incompatible bunch
of swat artists who have the honor to
be in the employ of this paper, did
meet defeat at the hands of the willy
Waialuans. But let it be remembered
that, by stealth and the use of burglar
tools, they broke into the baggage
wagon and opened the barren of white
wash which was being taken there for
the determination of the agile athletes
of Haleiwa.
Like grim Nemesis the 'I'fsers will
swoop down on the smiling fields of
Eva. With another barrel of white
wash carefully placed in burglar proof
safe and loaded on an armored train,
they will visit the mystic purlieus of
the sassy ones and metaphorically wipe
them off the earth
Then will there be one grand game.
Overwhelmed by the classic learning in
the art of twirling, displayed by our
peerless pitcher, the Eva batters will
sink sadly to the plate. Each of the
mighty 'Tiser swatters will
find their tired twirler and bang him
at will, yea as far as the ocean. Then
will the scorer grow tired of scoring
runs and the fatal fluid OF barn-wan
use, will trickle slowly over the dia.
mond.
Can it be that the Ewas dare accept
such a challenge? Have they the in
finite temerity to array themselves
against the scintillating stars that CON-
pose the 'Tiser team? Yea surely, for
they are a bold bunch of batters and
fear no foe in shining armor, or words
TO that effect.
10 crop from the WOuld-De humorous
vein to one of comparative sense, the
'Tisers would not object to travelling
nut as far as Eva some Sunday and
having a jolly old game of baseball
With the crack plantation boys.
Now is the time for Mr.. Best, their
courteous manager, to arrange the mat !,
.er. Should he be able to do so these
columns are open to his acceptance, no
natter in what terms it may be couch
ID, the sassier the better.

Rugby games, the papers will have
plenty to say about the possibilities of
the big games and what all the teams
have been doing in practise matches.
The Eastern tracks are pretty nearly
all bare by this time, and those who
are interested in horse-racing will scan
the shipments to Los Angeles and San
Francisco with considerable interest.
The Arcadia track on Lucky Baldwin s
famous ranch in the San Gabriel Val
ley is about the only winter track in
fair climate that is running these
days, and most of the large horse-own-
ers are turning their eyes in that di-
rection.
With baseball just finished, winter
sports just beginning, and nearly two
weeks since any but telegraphic news
has come in, it viii be a very fine lot
of sport pages that we shall peruse
this morning.

TO PLAY
COOKE IN FINALS

The semi-finals of the tennis tourna,
ment were finished on the Pacific courts
yesterday afternoon. Castle maintained
the squirt he started on Wednesday af-
ternoon and beat Steere by Ga, So
Cooke who was tied with Warren two
sets each and one game each in the
final set, finally won out by Ga.
The finals will be played off tomorrow
afternoon on the Beretania courts and
there will be much excitement among
local enthusiasts to see whether Castle
or Cooke is the man to go up against
Roth for the championship.
Mr.. Roth is in very good form these
days and has been playing excellent
tennis in practise games. Whoever is
the lucky man to win tomorrow he will
have to play very fine game if he is
to lower the colors of the four-year
champion.

ONE WEEK MORE
TO ORDER WRENS

There are eleven definite orders in
for Sea Wrens and these viii be mail
ed on the outgoing Alameda next We'd
nesday. This leaves only five days for
those who are contemplating getting
one of these fine little boats to make
up their minds.
Mr.. Bowen expects that the parts
which he ordered some time ago will
arrive this morning on the Alameda,
and, should this be the case, he will
set right to work constructing the boat
on his original idea of longer hull
and a small auxiliary engine. This is
merely by way of experiment, and he
will also have enc of the one-desigu
boats built with the others, for racing
purposes.
The keelsom will be heightened out
at the stern with piece sufficiently
long and heavy to act as a shoe for
the rudder, which must be set out from
the stern to make room for the pro-
peller. The mounds viii be set at
greater distance than called for in the
specifications and the timbers set ae
cordingly, thus frightening the hull.

PUG|L|ST|C
EXODUS SOON
Reilly, Leahy and Smith All to
Leave on the Alameda
Next Week.

There will be quite a pugilistic
Friday. Charley Reilly, Joe Leahy and
frankie Smith are booked TO depart on
that date and the local boxing status
of affairs will be up in the air again.
Reilly has made a great artistic sue
cess of his visit here although he has
not grown suddenly rich. From the
very first he made hit with the fans
and has more than made good in every
encounter. During the time he has been
here, about two months, he has ap-
peared in four bouts and won all OF
them, although the first decision was
called draw. The latter should be
recorded as a victory as the decision
was most certainly an error of Judg'
ment.
Boxing four times in two months Is
very strenuous work. 1t is not the ap-
pearance in bout that hurts, but the
tedious training and Reilly states that
he needs a rest A sea voyage and an
other rest at the end is just about
what he needs and then he will prob,
ably go on in some preliminaries to the
very big shows or be offered some gOod
minor main events.
Reilly's visit to Honolulu has done
him good in every way. He has i'm
proved physically and has added to his
reputation. When a Coast boxer goes
away and makes good, no matter where
it may be, he is always received with
open arms on his return and the clip
pings from all the papers which Charlie
can show, viii surely make the man
ayers sit up and think.
After appearing in San Francisco and
Los Angeles Reilly will return here on
his way to Australia where ne believes
there is a good field for a classy light
weight. If there is anybody worth meet
ing at that time here he will stop off
to have pugiHstic argument with him.
The Reilly McFadden winner take-all
bout is off. Reilly has had his appear
ance money posted for some time but
the other man has shown no signs of
doing likewise and so Reilly and his
manager have come to the conclusion
that the former was only bluffng.
Reilly's terms, and he is in posi-
ton to make terms, are winner to take
all and $3.50 appearance money to go
as side bet, weight 128 pounds, this
last being the weight asked for by
McFadden. If, by any chance, the
other appearance money should be
forthcoming today, Reilly would prob |
ably stop over for the bout.
Joe Leahy and frankie Smith have
both made a good impression here.
Joe put up very game exhibition
against Reilly, and, even if he does
believe that he should have Lad a |
draw, he lost nothing with the fans
by keeping quiet about it and not max
ing a roar. frankie Smith has shown
his cleverness and what he could do if
in proper condition, which he was not
when he went up against Trinkle.
What new arrangements will be
made by the local promoters is not yet
known. There is no local material
that would draw any kind of a house
and more must be imported. It is pos
sihle that this will be done in the near
future, as the support that the Reilly
Leahy bout received showed that the
fans here are still interested if the
right kind of shows are put on for
their benefit.

ENTRIES CLOSE
AT TEN SHARP

Golfers should take notice that the
handieaps for the next Tansan tourna'
ment, which takes place at Moanalua
next Sunday, have been readjusted and
everybody except the winner has bet
ter chance than last time. Handicaps
are figured from so with maximum
of IS. Entries viii close on the links
at 10 'clock sharp.
This cup must be won once on each
of three links, Haleiwa, Moanalua and
the Country Club. A double win ON
the same links does not count for the
winner. The latter takes second place
in that event and the runner up is
credited with one win on that course.
Austin White won the first tournament
at Haleiwa and he must repeat the per-
Torrance on both the other links to win
the prize.

and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line Of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief, as they deserve.
