RACE TODAY

At ten o clock sharp this morning
the gun will fire for the start of the
racing yachts over a twenty-five mile
course for the Beekley Cup. The handi
caps are made out by the committee,
placed in a sealed envelope and all
ready to be opened and decide the win
ner after the course is covered.
1t is impossible to make any predic-
ton as the handicaps are unknown, but
it goes without saying that each one
of the shippers of the four entries will
be there with the soft tiller-feel and
will make each other do some brainy
work on the first log close to the wind
The Hawaii viii leave her moorings
at Pearl Harbor early this morning and
come round for the start of the race,
after which she will follow the yachts
over the course keeping well to lee
ward so as to take nobody's wind
The start will be from a line drawn
from the Healani Boat Club House to
the opposite side of the harbor and a
good view of the jockeying for the start
may be obtained from anywhere along
the waterfront in that neighborhood
1t is expected that the race will finish
about 3 clock in the afternoon The

LAST APPEARANCE
Of THE VISITORS
One More Chance for the Fans
to Loosen Up and Help
the League.

AT positively the last appearance Of
the two greatest aggregations of bali
players that ever visited the islands.
the Jolly Japanese and the Surprising
Santa Claras will disport themselves on
the diamond today in farewell of
boundlessly beautiful ball-paying.
There s something in the Circus Pos
ter line for you. Maybe there is some
way to make the fans sit up and take
notice and little advance agent hyper
bole may do it.
There were about one hundred fans
who took notice of the Advertiser s
appeal yesterday and went out to the
bali park. That is one hundred in addi-
ton to the original sixty and nine
stayers. Today is the last chance for
the fans to make good with themselves,
the players and the league and, if they
have any sportmanship left in them,
they viii crowd the grounds out.
There has been a great deal of talk
about switching the games over but no
conclusion was reached last night so far
as could be learned. The Keios came
back from Hilo and admitted that they
would like to play the Punahous who
have defeated them twice Also the
Diamond Heads make no bones about
their eagerness TO have another chance
at the Santa Claras. This change can
not be made without the official sane
ton Of the league and the powers did
not get together to decide the matter.
It.~is possible that there viii be
caucus at the park today before the
game and that the league will sanction
the change but it is hardly likely as
the fans from Riverside will be there
under the impression that the Keios are
going to play the Diamond Heads again
and they may feel done out of some
thing if they are disappointed.
Two Aala Games.
!. There win be the usual double header
at Aala Park. The c. A. Cs. win butt
up against the Japs and the Eheu kids
will see what they can do with the Alo-
has. The new name for the Aaias comes
from the Press Agent Kid who sug-
gested that they should take another
letter from their name and make IL
g Alas.
The batteries for Aala Park are al
ways kept secret until the teams so
out on the field so that nobody knows
who is going to twirl; but it is fore
gone conclusion that the best of the
bunch will be in the box and, while
sad to saw it, it must be confessed that
there will be great counter attraction
to the ball park games.

YOUNG PITCHER
MAKES WORLD RECORD
Washington Star, July g. }

7 washington star, July 2o.J
! Not by f1uke, but rather by sensa-
tional work in the box, Charles Evans,
one of the pitchers of the Hartford,
Conn, team of the Connecticut League,
established on Tuesday last what is un.
idoubtedly a world g record in organized
baseball, when game in which he
pitched against Bridgeport is thorough.
ly analysed.
Evans not only stepped into the
charmed circle of great twirlers, who
have pitched no-hit, no-run game, but
in this contest not a man on the Bridge,
port team reached first base. There are
only three known similar records in
baseball. made by Richmond of Wor.
cester, John Ward of New York and
Cy Young of Boston.
Evans record, however probably
goes a shade ahead of the other men
from the fact that not ball was hit
to the outfield during the game. the
Hartford infelders retiring every one
of the twenty-seven men who faced
Evans in the battle. Evans, to add to
his glory. struck out ten batsmen, made
a safe hit himself that scored run
and stole base, the first time this sea,
son that he had been fortunate enough
to pilfer sack.
Seven of the nine men on the Bridge
port team struck out one or more times
during the game, and Nops, the last man
at bat, was '1fanned' for the third
consecutive time. Nops, himself an old
National Lacquer of Baltimore and Bos.
ton fame. was importuned by the crowd
to strike out in the ninth inning and
give Evans a record. The southpaw
twirler did not seem eharitably inciin.
ed. however, and made desperate lunges
at the ball. Nevertheless, he fell vie.
tim to Evans curves and closed the
game.
James o 'Rourke Sr., one of the grand
old men of baseball, was in uniform on
the Bridgeport bench, and after the con,
test he characterized Evans work as
the best pitching he had ever witnessed.
O 'Rourke. as is well known. was for.
mer member of the New York Giants
and has been in baseball harness for
forty years.
In the game Evans had the form and
control of major league veteran. No
one had chance to get passed to first,
and with terrible speed and sharp
curves he had Bridgeport helpless. Hart
ford won the game by the score Of
) to 0. the home team getting eight
timely hits off Nops delivery.
Hartford necessarily played errorless
ball and the outfelders could have been
seated on the players bench, their serv-
ices being absolutely not needed from
fielding standpoint.
Young Evans took his honors modest
" and shows no signs of a swelled

heavy hating team, too, and has stood
high in the league s official record col

HONOLULU, 80;
ALAMEOAs, 70.
Sailors Play Good Cricket. but
Are Out of Practice--.Re-
turn Match Later.

The boys from the steamer Alameda
put up good game yesterday and
played real cricket, but they were not
in it with the locals, owing to lack
of practise, and suffered defeat in a
one-inning game by 81 batted by nine
men to % from ten bats.
Robertson and Marshall bowled first
for the visitors, but they were not on
TO the idiosyncracies of the mat and
the Honolulu players swatted them
pretty badly. Buchly and Jordan faced
each other first for the home team,
and it looked as though they were a
hard combination, for they began to
find the boundaries, and hit the hedge
across the street twice in the first two
overs. Then Buehly got tangled up
with that vaulting ambition thing and
was run out taking chances.
Jordan piled up eighteen before Rob
ertson bowled him, but his was not
destined to be the highest score, for
McGill went him seven better and to-
tailed up twenty-five before Hillyard,
who had taken Robertson s place, found
his stumps.
Grant was another batter to be run
ont, but he showed great class in the
swatting line by piling up fifteen runs
from five balls Three boundaries for
four, a double and single show on
his score, and there is no knowing what
might have happened if he had stayed
in little longer
Grant and McGill bowled for the
home team. and they soon found their
way round the Alameda bats Jerome
was the only one who could do any
thing with either of them. and he man
aged to pile up a very useful eleven
runs. He was bowled by Grant, how
ever, and retired to downcast faces, for
he was the hope of his eleven and
they had hoped that he would make a
large score.
The grass was very dry and slippery
and most of the Alameda players had
no spiked shoes, so that they found
fielding mighty hard business, al
though they did well under the cir
cumstanees, but did not succeed in
sending batter away by the sky
route.
After the game was over the Ala
medas went in again for practise in
H4nS anu tHIS biIlS uiu bGbIeI, MdhtHS
81 with four wickets down. r. A
Jordan, the veteran cricketer, bowled
in this inning and did some very eff
fective work with an underhand de-
livery.
These teams will play a return match
the next time the Alameda is in port,
and the sailors state that they are GO
ing to get practise at every opportu-
nifty, so as to be able to reverse the
decision next time.
The official score was:

scoring for the home team.
Eleven errors for the two teams does
not look very good on the score. but
it was a good game and was more than
up to the standard of what should de-
sight the fans. There were a few
more of this species to be seen on the
bleachers than last Saturday, but not
many more, and it is to be hoped that
they will turn cut in larger quantities

WILD RUMORs IN CIRCULATION
Report Started that a Mob Would At
tempt to Lynch Negro.

Wild rumors were put in circu-
lation Saturday night to the effect
that mob from the India country
had been formed and was coming to
Waxahachie for the avowed purpose
of taking Ed Sharpe, the negro ac-
cdsed of assaulting a white woman
near India Friday night, out of jail
and lynching him. The reporter for
this paper received number of tele-
grams from other papers asking for
q rush story OF the lynching, in the
syeRt Il occurred. One paper print
l 7 r
( af9S fo ffie effect that the
jail was guarded by fifty men and
that any effort OF mob to take
Sharpe out of jail would be desper-
ately resisted No such report was
sent from this place. Instead Of fifty
men guarding the jail the only man
on duty was Jailer Clark and he did
not loose much sleep on account OF
the mob rumors. He did, however,
procure plenty of ammunition to be
used in the event of an attack upon
the jail. When the negro prisoners
were told of the reports that had
reached town they became a little
nervous and remained awake all
night.
