ALEXANDER FIELD
TO Be DEDICATED

Samuel T. Alexander Field at Oahu
College viii be dedicated Thursday,
October i. This date has been chosen
because Mr.. Wallace NJ Alexander, who
has taken a great personal interest in
the making of the Field, will pass
through Honolulu on that day on his
way to the Orient. 1t is hoped that
the boat will be in port at time when
he can attend the exercises and have q
part in formally opening the Field.
A suitable program is now being ar
ranged by President Griffiths in consul
tation with John Waterhouse, w. r.
Dillingham;, chairman of the grounds
committee, G. H. Cooke and others. The
only feature actually decided on is a
baseball game between the school team
and an alumni team. A. l.. Castle is
getting together team of ex-Punahou-
ties who will make the school team work
to win.
The Field itself is entirely completed.

of the credit is due for its many fine
features.

MOOHEAUS VS..
ALL-OAHUS TO-DAY
Hil0ites Will Arrive on Mauna
kea and Play Baseball
This Afternoon.

When the steamer Mauna Kea ar
rives from Hilo this morning, she will
land the baseball players from Hilo
who are to try conclusions with a pick
ed All-Oahu team this afternoon at
the ball park.
The Mooheaus are coming over to
see what they can do with some of our
experts and they feel assured that they
can make a good showing. It is hard
for team to step off the boat and go
right out to the field with only little
rest, as these boys will have to do, but
we hope that mother ocean will have
treated them kindly and that they viii
not have had any visits from the old
hoodoo, "Mal de mer
The team selected to play against
the visitors is good one, and the boys
have been practising hard all the week.
Every afternoon at five O'Clock the
slab artists have boarded the car and
gone out to the ball park, where they
have batted, pitched and gone for the
long, high ones until they all feel that
they can play together and put up a
fine game.
There has been kindly lull in base
ball during the last two weeks, and
everybody now feels ready to watch a
rafting good game. The convention
today will, of course, keep many of the
fans away from the park, but it is ex-
pected that there will be goodly
crowd out there to see the two teams
battle for the inter-island champion
ship.
The same teams will play today and
tomorrow The game is called for
three clock this afternoon, while to-
morrow the umpire will take his place
half hour later in the day.
The Moo cows bring with them
very fine twirler by the name of Viii
liams. He is no relation to the Jim
and John of local fame, but he IS
good enough ball player to be cousin
or aunt to our Honolulu picture-takers
and sportsmen.
Eddie Fernandez has been working
like horse to get himself and every
body else into frst-class shape. lie is
a wonder on first when he feels right,
and it is to be hoped that the Hlloltes
will send some real hot ones down by
number one so that they can get an
exhibition of how we stop 'em IN Ho-
nolulu.
Barney Joy is looking fine and says
that he feels fine. When he climbs up
in the box there will be something do
ing, and the volcano versatile artists
will have to keep both hands on the
bat if they want to stop the ball. Dick
Reuter- has also benefited by his prac-
tise and it is a toss-up who will be
the better man on the twirling stump.
Jim Williams has been very busy all
week taking pictures, but he says that
ii is easier to hold ball than
camera, and the shortstop line on the
official score already has the error
space marked out.
There is no doubt that it will be
a grand game this afternoon. The
locals have been feeding on ginger and
cayenne pepper and are just about ripe
for a bout with the whitewash bucket.
The regatta will be pau in plenty ct
time to allow everybody to eat lunch
and get out to the park, and none OF
the fans who blow in the merry quar-
ter will be disappointed.

AUTOMOBILE
CLUB MEETS

The Automobile Club held a meeting
last night in the rooms of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee and discussed the
subject of good roads. No definite de-
cision was arrived at, but the club had
a good representation present and there
was an evident air of determination
to accomplish something.
Committees were appointed to look
into the matters of a good roads move
ment and doings for Thanksgiving
Day, and their reports, which will be
turned in soon, will give some idea of
the modus operandi which the club
will follow.

ances. to be the best of many days of
the kind. The committee in charge has
arrived at a very wise decision and
that is to make the program short
enough so that the whole thing is pau
by noon.
From nine o clock till the whistles
blow for midday, if they do blow on a
holiday, there will be plenty of con-
densed excitement on the bay. The
Healani Boat Club has been making de-
termined efforts to wrest the laurels
from the Myrtles and who can say that
they will not carry off both Senior and
Freshman events.
In a quiet and unobstrusive way the
Healanis have made great determine
ton to win this year. During recent
wears thew have suffered defeat after
defeat and have taken enough of that
kind of medicine to thoroughly dis
courage any but bunch of sportsmen
like themselves.
Every afternoon at five O'Clock the
rowers havve been ready at the float
to go out on the bay and work them
selves into condition. Alarm clocks
have buzzed half an hour earlier than
usual and the members of the crews
have been jumping out of bed with
pIentv of time in front of them to skip
the rope, punch the air and dance the
merry dumbell jig before breakfast.
All this determination for work has
put the boys in fine shape and they
feel that they can hand something to
the Myrtles this time. The green
boughs. on the other hand, are just as
confident as the Healanis are determln-
ed and they make no bones about their
certainty of being able to uphold their
record and win in both events.
The first race will start punetuaiiy
from in front of the Naval Station at
nine O clock. The entries and order OF
events are as follows:

A Baltimore dispatch dated October
26 states that the Rev. DR.. Bingham
of Hawaii died the day preceding, hav-
ing undergone an operation at Johns
Hopkins hospital the previous week.
p. c. Jones, who today returned in
the Siberia, credits the information
having seen it generally in coast pa
pers before he left. 1t was his first
impulse to cable the news here, but,
on second thought, he took it for
granted that the Associated Press
would have flashed it here to the news
papers. Theodore Richards feels in
clined to doubt the correctness of the
telegraphed newspaper item from Bal
timore.
''It seems to me most remarkable
and hardly possible" he said, that
no one should have notified u.s."
In the San Francisco Chronicle or
October 27. the following appears
BALTIMORE, October 26.-Rev. DR..
Hiram Bingham, the noted Congrega-
tional missionary, who underwent a
surgical operation at Johns Hopkins
Hospital last week, died here yester-
day. DIR. Bingham was born in Homo
lulu in 1881, to which place his par
ents had gone from America in 1920
as pioneer missionaries. In 1856 he
went to the Gilbert islands as a mis-
sionary.
Buried away on the Gilbert islands
for a third of a century, where the
equator crosses near the 180th meridian
of longitude and the seafaring man
changes his day in crossing, Rev. Hi
ram Bingham, missionary, leXicogra-
pher, master mariner and philogist, in
June made his appearance amid civil
lized surroundings in San Francisco,
coming by way of Honolulu.
Rev. Mr.. Bingham went to the ISL
ands in 1857 and found the natives in
a very savage state. They wore hardly
any clothing, and were hostile to
whites. Owing to the influences which
have been brought to bear the natives,
according to the missionary, are now
civilized. Mr.. Bingham's great work
was the translation of the Bible into
the Gilbertian language, and he has not
only been successful in that herculean
task but he has adapted 215 hymns to
the language, which the natives de-
light in singing. His dictionary of the
Gilbert islands language contains 49,
900 words.
Mr.. Bingham commanded the mis-
sionary packet Morning Star on hel

TELLS OF. TERROR

Young Warren Purdy of this city,
who rounded the Horn in the American
ship Astral and was in her when she
made a start back from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and was dismantled in a
hurricane, writes his parents here con-
cerning his terrific experience with the
mad elements. Taking shipwreck as
matter of course, he uses the follow
ing calm language in letter dated at
New York, October 16:
Il suppose by this time you have
had my cable and so aren't worrying
even if you have had the news of our
pililia.
Il didn't keep anv log of the doings
but | will try to tell you about it. We
left Baltimore, Wednesday, the first Of
October, and dropped our tow about
ten miles outside, about o'clock the
next afternoon.

not much wind and a bit of fog, but
things looked up along in the even

We had the upper topgallants fast.
Sunday it was blowing good and
stiff and raining most of the day; had
the lower topgallants fast when we
came off watch at four. We were call

crossjack and mainsail had been fast

topsails blew off about ten and about
eleven the spars began to float away.
