WHITE WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP

Austin White maintained his reputa'
t;on nv winning the final round for
the Manoa Golf championship and cup
at the Country Club yesterday. T. Gill
was second and Armstrong third.
A very slim crowd of those who had
qualified in the preliminary round turn
ed up Yesterday morning. 1t is inn
possible to stay up all night at con-
vention and then play decent game
of golf at ten o clock. For this reason
nine out of the eighteen who had a
right to play were not there and
friendly layman was pressed into ser
vice to follow the odd player and take
his score down.
White was two to the bad at the end
of the first round for Gill did it in
tbirtv-eight while forty was the best
the champion could show. But post
tions were reversed after the eigh-
teenth hole for Gill's score was forty
seven for the second round while
White s was only forty-three.
They both made forty-two in the
third round of the links and with
White only two ahead, the last round
was watched with breathless interest.
Gill came in with forty marked on
his score card and it was question
of whether White would finish in forty.
one or not. Doubts were soon set at
rest. however. for the youngster came
in with thirty-seven, making a gain OF
three in the last round and winning
by five points.
The totals of the first three men were
White 1872, Gill 167 and Armstrong l73.

The Second Game.
There was less scoring, but better
playing, in this game. The little Japs
punched up nine and nearly all of
them were earned runs of the most
opalescent and glittering variety. They
were made, in fact, by pure force of
swatting one Ho Yup all round the
town.
The j. A. Cs. went in first and chalk
ed up two for themselves before they
retITed. Maesaka walked and reached
second on Yup's foozle to first, and
then went to third on a passed ball.
Kualii, the nervous kid, flew out, then
Ross bingled and Maesaka ran in Yup
golfed again to first and Ross went
to. second; Flores hunted on the third
strike, but Luning bingled and Ross
came home.
The C. A. C.'s also made two in the
first. Kaia famed, Ng Sing was safe
at first on an error under Home Rule
Zerbe grounded to shortstop Michi, whC
tried to douse Ng Sing at third, blu;
he made bad throw and Ng Sing
romped, while Zerbe pitched his tent

Frank Akana was safe on first while
Zerbe went to third and then home
while Ross was throwing wildly Il

inning was over with the score tied

The J. A C.'s scored three in the
third, Kualii, Ross and Flores being
the successful runners. Again in thu
fifth they made two by Flores anC
Luning, and two in the eighth of
Mich and Maesaka, making their tota
of nine
The Aloha lads acted like doinl
things and evening up in the last o.
the ninth, for they tailed three and
looked, at one time, as though they
would keep on scoring indefinitely. Ms
Sing took one on the body and hoofeC
to first, Albert Akana reached first OF
Mich s error, while Ng Sing went t.
second. Zerbe swatted what nigh

at second while he stayed safe on frs
and Ng Sing went to third. Then i
was that Frank Akana bingled and Ms
Sing came in. This took Zerbe t.
third, and Frank burgled to second.
Then Townsend doubled and boil
Zerbe and Frank scored. Wakita flew

Hitchcock can hardly be expected
to take time TO review the evidence

both sides will be prepared to pre-

that he will seek to discover who is
the regular nominee, an inquiry
which is certain to result favorably
to Mr.. Swisher. Mr. Hitchcock
may take the position that the state
executive committee and the creden
tails Committee of the convention
were the proper bodies to consider
question of fraud, and that he will
not presume to pass upon questions

facts, and therefore better qualified

Local Dealer Sometimes to Blame.

Thousands of dollars go out of JEFF

with the mail order business, to the
loss of the local dealers and manu-
facturers. 1t does not help very much
to appeal on the ground of patriot
ism to those people who buy Of outside
dealers, as purchasers go where they
think they can find the best bargains.
Every one must recognize the fact
that the local dealer cannot prosper
without local trade, but there are a
lot of people who fail to govern them.
selves accordingly. Orders for goods
are sent to Syracuse or New York or
Chicago which could have been as
cheaply bought in Watertown, but this
is frequently the local dealers fault.
The great success of the big mail or
der houses has been built up almost
wholly by advertising. Fortunes are
spent in letting the people Of the coun-
try know what they have to sell. Lib.
azines is used to exploit the mail or
der business in addition to the cata
logues issued. These are the avenues
through which the houses draw a
large part of their business.
Is there not a lesson here for the
local dealer? Cannot be hold some of
the business which goes TO the outside
mail order houses by judicious use of
the columns of the local newspapers?
The Watertown newspapers have a
large circulation through the towns
and rural districts of northern New
York. The Standard believes the local
merchants and manufacturers could
divert much of this trade to them
selves if they took the proper meth

wholly with the local dealer and these

A Pointer for the Merchant.

The encroachments of the great mail
order houses of the east on the legiti

growing daily more threatening to the
prosperity of the town merchant and

the editor of country paper. Some
thing should be done by the merchants
of every town to prevent future opera

which supply, as a general rule, ar

1t is a business which is like that O
the street fakir. A bargain is offered
to the buyer at his first appearance
He bites and on his second order is
bitten.
Local merchants should teach their
towns-people and the farming element
surrounding them the invidious conse
luences to the town, to the buyer and
to general business conditions, OF
patronizing these establishments. The
local merchant should do this by
judicious advertising in his home pa

tention to this business and by send
ing out only goods which person
would himself select from stock Of
goods, the local merchant car kill the
mail order business of an eastern
speciality house in his territory.

Work That Wins.

He who would succeed in any under
taking must first understand that in
telligently directed work is the only
kind that wins. He who starts. out to
accomplish things for his home town
cannot blunder along unless he en-
dangers that which he sets out to do.
Commercial clubs too often fail in ac.
complishing good because of lack of
system in the efforts made. There is
an old saying: ''Too many cooks
spoil the broth" This axiom is ex-
emplifed frequently by the organiza.
tion which attempts to carry out great
projects without the proper system
for doing the same. Work must be
rightly pursued or it comes to naught.
Each worker should have his particu.
lar part to perform, and for this part
he should be selected with view as
TO his fitness. Concerted effort right
ly made always wins.
