Second Game.

The second game between the Chinese
A. c.. and the Twilights ended to 4
in favor of the Dragonlets. In the first
inning, the Chinese lads failed to score,
while the Twilights got four runs.
Josephat famed the air, but Winter,
Butler and Medeiros each received a
Christmas gift from Pitcher Aiona with
a pass to the first base. Anderson, a
big marine from Uncle Sam s Navy
wards came to bat next and everybody
had their eyes on him. He got the
crowd with him, when he sent the first
ball pitched to him in the stream while
Winter. Butler and Medeiros romped.
Neither side was able to score in the
second, but the G. A. Cs. got busy in
the third and got nearly everyone OF
the nine players of the Twilights in
the air. Sing Chong, Chi Bui, Apau,
Aiona and Mark, were able to score.
This was largely due to Kalanui g poor
fielding work at short, then it was de-
cided to switch around. Kalanui went
TO second and Butler came to short.
This did not improve it much and an
other change was found necessary,
when Medeiros came in to second and
Kalanlli was sent to centerfeld.
In the seventh the Twilights scored
one and in the ninth the Chinese lads
got another run to their credit. which
decided the game in their favor. The
score was;

WOULD JEFFRIES
DARE TO RETURN?

Whether or not big Jim Jeffries will
take crack out of the eOlored cham
pion is now a burning question: as
the poet would say. Jeffries, it will be
remembered, made the statement when
he surrendered the belt that the only
inducement that could pull, push, or
yank him back into the square ring
would be to bring the waist-hne trophy
into American hands again. Jeffries
drew the color line, and he drew it hard
and fast. He wouldn't fight anyone
who savOred of "shine."
But if he is of the same mind as he
was a few years ago, challenge to
Jack johnson should come forthwith.
And, methinks, the great Jeffries would
be handed the same kind of a Christmas
present as that which was passed out
to Tommy Burns, the money maker.
"Doc" Roller looks to be the logical
man to go after the negro fighter, but
the Seattle -pugilist must first
get some experience before he tackles
ring general such as johnson undoubt-
eddy is. Roller has weight, strength,
nerve-in fact, he has all the physical
attributes of heavyweight champion
but he simply must have the noodle, the
real "fghting NOODLE" before he meets
the big fellow.
1t is extremely doubtful if Jeffries
will make any rash challenges. He has
graduated into the "smal farmer"
class If he does, however-loOk out,
lady-fOr there will be didings when
the old warhOrse and ex-eham mixes
with the kinky haired "ehampeen of de

TOM LONGBOAT
BEATS DORANDO

| NEW YORK, December 16.-In a
heart-breaking race of twenty-six miles
and 385 yards, before thousands of
wildly cheering men, women and chill
dren assembled at Madison Square Gar
den, Tom Longboat, the Canadian In
dian, last night wore down Dorando
Pietri, the Italian, and won their
match race after the latter had col
lapsed on the saucer-shaped track. The
victory came as complete surprise to
the form players, who, with Dorando s
records here and in England against
Longboat s poor showing in the Olym-
pic contest, could see nothing to the
match last night but a decisive vic
tory for the Italian runner. The time
of the race was 2:45:05 2-5, little over
half a minute slower than the Marathon
record established by Dorando in his
race with Johnnie Hayes three weeks
ago.
Few persons in the vast throng which
poured into Madison Square Garden last
night had any idea that Longboat
would prove to be more than a good
practise run for the Dashing Dago.
Nevertheless he received an enthusiast
tic ovation when he appeared upon the
track A few minutes later, when Do
rando stepped out from his dressing
room, thousands of Italians rose to their
feet to greet their cOuntryman.
The race was close up to the begin
ming of the twentysixth mile. Pre-
vious to this the Italian and the In
dian looks turns in leading the process
sion around the cinder track, at no time
being separated by more than few
yards. Longboat led at the fourteenth
mile, Dorando in the fifteenth, Long
boat again in the twentieth and twenty
third, when Dorando regaining the ad
vantage in the twentyfourth. In the
fourth lap of the twenty-sixth mile,
Longboat then leading by quarter of
a lap, the Italian suddenly staggered
and dropped in the middle of the track.
Longboat finished alone, amidst the
cheers of the spectators.

OKUWA TEAM
WINS IN NINTH

Twelve to nine was the score by
which the Okuwas carried victory
away from the Pacific team in the Sea-
side League game yesterday afternoon.
It was a surprise of the first water

agent of this league states that 1t was
a very great surprise, and consequently
it must be, for by all the rules of Ordi'

out by the Nipponese, and, just to help
the good work along, Ahana transferred
ten of his opponents to the initial sta

the contrary, was in tiP-top shape for
the Japanese baseballists. He allowed
but four hits off his delivery, and pass

DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK
FOR PROFESSIONALS HERE
The Chances Are That Unique" Fishers Stars
Will Not Stop Because of Lack of
Local Team.

"Mique" Fisher and his swatfest ag-
gregation, who are due here from the
Land of Nippon very shortly, haven It
a very pleasant outlook to face if they
stop off at this burg. Baseball-erazy
Honolulu has not as yet arranged for
a local team to meet the professionals,
and from the present standing of
things it doesn't exactly appear that
the Honolulu players intend to exert
themselves in this direction, however
much the citizens would like to see
the .An-Americans in action.
"Pat" Donahue was promised as a
catch for the All-Hawaii team, and it
was generally presumed that he would
also do the backstop work. But the
business of getting "Pat" here seems
TO have been wholly worked out in
the fertile Imagination of the
plumber baseball magpate. That Don
ahue is coming here at this late stage
of the game is not only the remOtest
kind of a possibility, but it would also
be a very foolish piece of business.
The Reach All-American team is due
to drop off here along the latter part
of next month, and Donahue, even if
he started here Immediately, could
hardly be expected to whip team
into shape in the time he would have
left.
1t is understood that the league
management have guaranteed Fisher
$500, besides a share in the net re-
ceipts, for a week of stellar exhibit
lions. Now, the aforesaid King
~'Mique' may be a sportsman and all
that, but, just the same, you can bet
your copper pennies that he won I
take any chances ON losing cartwheels
on the proposition. Unless the Homo

lulu baseball artists wake up, get some
ginger and life into their systems, or
ganize, practise, and pick team
within the next two weeks, at the very
least-Manager Mique will make his
first stop at the little old town of
Frisco, cutting Honolulu entirely out
of his schedule.
Money makes an awful noise with
Fisher, and he knows as well as any
one that the fans are not going out to
watch game of ball where the odds
are so lopsided-as they undoubtedly
will be unless the locals come to life.
The players are here, but the organic
ing pivot is lacking. Over in Japan
the All-Stars didn t put up such rip
roaring ball as might be expected, the
little Keios holding them down to so
scores. A team can be picked from
among the big league players here that
will do things with Fishers bunch,
with a little training. At any rate,
some interesting games could be fur
nished, games that would at least fur
nish the excitement of being hard
fought, even if not close.
1t is all up to Honolulu whether
or not the tourist ballplayers stop off
here. Jack Doyle, than whom there is
not more loyal fan or keener fol
lower of the game here, doesn't think
the chances are good. A number of
the best players are Indifferent, or
have expressed indifferent opinions.
Bill Hampton, the heady little twirler,
says he is through with the game. In
view of existing circumstances, it GER
tainly behooves someone to get busy
with the organization of good local
team.
Wake up! Honolulu wants to see
that bunch of cracks show off on the
diamond, and, ergo, there must be a
real team here.

have to coddle and encourage them
and to force their talent, and often
expend money to develop their voices.
