Annual Carnage in the Name of
Patriotism Is Very Large.

Once more the annual barbaric sac
which masquerades under the guise of
patriotic celebration of the nations
Independence day, has passed, and the
fearful cost has been counted in part.
In many homes there is mourning for
children who have met untimely ends
and adults whose lives paid the pen
atty of wanton folly, while in dark
ened chambers and hospitals through
out the country lie thousands of MAIN
ed and suffering victims.
Results of the frenZied enitnOds by
which the Fourth of July is 'cele-
brated'' in the United States are given
in the Chicago Tribune's tenth annual
summary of the number of persons
killed and MANNED. Up to o'clock
on the morning of the 9Th reports
from all parts of the country showed
that forty-eight persons had been kill
ed and 1899 burned, MANNED, and
lacerated by the various instruments
used in making noise to celebrate the
signing of the declaration of indie
pendence.
Chicago's death list jumped from
two in 1907 to twelve this year, and
led in the number of lives sacrificed
in the large centers of the country.
In 1907 New York bore the distinc-
ton of giving up the largest number
of its citizens to the frenzied patri-
otism, having ten, which was two less
than Chicago has this year.
Cities in which the Fourth of July
deaths occurred were:

CHART OF RACE
APPRECIATED

The chart showing the course of the
four yachts in the transpaeifc race
which was published in the Advertiser
yesterday was appreciated by the many
yachting enthusiasts in town. The orig
inal tracing of the chart was pasted
in the window of the office and there
were people around it all day.
Some of the remarks overheard were
quite amusing. "Say, she can sail
with. those other boats, can It she's"
was the remark of several observers.
A big mechanic with his tool kit in his
hand took great interest in the chart.
He studied it very closely and then
said to friend, "Say, Harry, if they'd
had me along on that yacht I'd have
blowed them sails out meself and beat
that Lurline with me hot air. Then
everybody laughed and he walked
away rather embarrassed.
The chart was an eye-opener to many
people who have been very pessimis-
teal over the Hawaii s showing. IL
proved to them conclusively that all
she needs is little tuning up to be
the fastest thing in Pacific waters.

FIGHT PICTURES
WORTH SEEING

There is to be one show in town that
nobody ought to miss. 1t is the NOV
ing pictures of the Burns Gunner Moir
fight in "Dear old London. Eddie
TAFT and Harry Werner have the films
and will show them at the Empire be-
ginning Monday night.
The Introductory pictures show Tom
my Burns and the Gunner at work in
their training stunts These are very
ordinary but when the scene of the
fight comes along there is something to
make you sit up and think. The ring
is surrounded by crowd of real Picca,
showing. Many of them carry twin
dows in their eyes and, during the
entire course of the fight, they show
practically no expression whatever.
The referee does not deign to stand
in the ring but sits in a box elevated
above the arena Along about the nth
round the referee takes his claw ham
mer coat off and begins to get excited.
He talks to Gunner Moir and the lat
ter excuses himself politely to his op-
ponent while he tretires to a corner and
has a heated discussion with the white
vested referee.
The scrap goes merrily on in the
presence of a crowd of Bond Street
tailored dummies until the referee gets
so really excited, donteherknow, that
he leaps into the ring and separates
the two combatants. Then comes the
Knockout, slight pause and every
well -groomed scion of Albion in the
place rises leisurely pokes out the lid
of his Gibus and retires slowly and
gracefully. talking in subdued and dec
orous whispers, Judging by the move
ments of their lips.
The pictures also show that Tommy
the Canuck did not have such an easy
job as the reports seem to state. An
Americanized Britisher who was in
Honolulu few days ago and who wit
messed the fight, states that he had
money on Burns but expected Moir to
get him in the fifth round.

GREAT BALL
CAME TODAY
Manager jessop of Milwaukee
Sailors Predicts a Fast
Game.

II you want to see a good game of
baseball, make arrangements to leave
business about half past three this af-
ternoon and come out to see the Santa
Claras and the Milwaukee Wonders butt
up against each ether 1t will be well
worth making sacrifice for, and you
Wltl make hit with yourself by not
missing it.
-Four O'Clock is the time set for the
game to start, and that allows every
body who cares about sport to get Out
to the park and see it, Don forget
that the gate receipts will be equally
divided between the two teams and the
management. The Santa Claras are
nothing ii not ripping good sportsmen,
and the Milwaukees are what all Uncle
Sam s sailors are, the best on the field.
The boys aboard the cruiser keep their
ball team going by home subscription,
and it would DE uneommonly nice If
Honolulu could have the satisfaction
of knowing that the people here had
helped to add something material to the
baseball fund of these grand sailor
sportsmen. See Daniels pitch, watch
Lieutenant F'ite at first base; in fact,
imagine a ball game described by a cir
Gus poster artists and you have some
idea of what the game is going to be
this afternoon.
Lieutenant Jessop, chief engineer of
the Milwaukee and manager of the ball
team, is not only good sportsman, but
the original managing pilot when it
comes to ball playing. He brings out
several points that the fans may have
overlooked with regard to Sundays
game, and the clean and sportsmanlike
method of his talk will make all the
fans appreciate more than ever the
clever game put up by the ironclad bat
ters I
This is what Lieutenant Jessop has
to say: "When you come to consider
that our boys are entirely unused to a
grass diamond and have only a few days
at rare intervals in which to. practice,
I think you will agree that we put up
a mighty good game last Sunday
(And echo answers, faye, aye, Sir.'')
" The grass is slow and the ball bounces
more often than it does on a skin dia-
mond. The boys were quite a little
bothered by this at first, but / was, real
1y proud of them when / saw how soon
they tumbled to the new conditions.
Look out Tor them tomorrow; they are
the wonders to find out things, and |
expect them to field the slow balls as
smartly as [ have seen them do on the
fast diamonds in San Francisco.
fWhat did you think of our second .
baseman2'' And we answered that we
had noticed that he had the ball at
first base in plenty of time and never
lost his head. f'That IS just it, he never
loses his head and. with all his arm
swing that makes him look slow he gets
the ball over in wonderfully quick time.
Seegar is good man in the box.
He was not used to the climate, and the
sun got him trifie toward the end of
the game; in fact, he was feeling quite
woozy when he pitched that eleventh
inning. In Bremerton he made very
classy record. In four games he aver
aged twelve strike-outs for three hits.
In fact, this is the first game be has
ever lost since he has been aboard the

only sorry that We could not make the
game certain before the fateful

= What pleases me most of all is to
think that the aggregation of players
that Honolulu sent on the field was
such a good one. That team could
stand up against any big league team
and hold them. We have only hun
dred and fifty men to pick from, and
you can well believe that it is hard to
find nine such players on top of three
hundred sea-legs.
Lieutenant Jessop also spoke of the
work done by Daniels, who will pitch
today. He has made a name in the
navy as a star pitcher and fielder, but
he will have to work hard if he can
override the fan-winning work of See
gar on Sunday.
The Santa Claras are not too conf
dent of victory, but they viii put up
the best game they can, and it is hard
to say which of the two clever teams

Here and There
in Sportdom

One Vierra, who is the real old press
agent kid and can do more with a
newspaper man in five minutes than
most men in a lifetime, comes through
with a good suggestion. "Why not
have the Keios and c. A. Cs: play a
preliminary to the Santa Clara Picked
Riverside Team game?' That is a
very good suggestion, Mr.. Vierra, and
we hope to see the authorities take
it up.
The meeting of the league yesterday
morning was not exciting. There was
some talk about referees, but the main
weekend schedule The Keios and
Hams will hook up on Saturday, as
also the Santa Claras and Puns. On
Sunday the Saints will daily with the
Keios and the Santa Claras will do
what they can for the Jewels.
The Kalihis had the proper live
meeting last night They have a good
ball ground and they want it fixed.
Tt seems that they applied to Governor
Frear to have the place fixed for them
and that the kindly Governor has
acquiesced. That will be good for the
Kalihis. The club arranged to bring
off dance and concert during the first
week of September, and Paul Burns
and Will Young were appointed com
mittee to see that the affair is
success.
The new suits for the club players
were passed on and approved, and then
a collection was taken for the benefit
of the club. The latter event was a
success. and more than enough was
taken in to cover the cost of the suits.
Willie Rice was presented with silver
cup and five medals that he has won in
sprinting contests, and Johnnie Nc
Candless also carried away i've medals.
They are clever lads, and the club has
reason to be proud of them.
