LETTER TO E. H. GOODRICH.
Brownsville, Texas.

Dear Sir: A bank messenger lost a
small coin He set his bag down and
looked for it. Found it, but some
body else had run off with the bag.
A man who is going to paint had
better lookout for his gallons. Devoe
is the leastsgallons paint
It's gallons that cost; it isn't the
price of a gallon. With one paint, 10
gallons is plenty; another, II or u
or 13 and so on to % gallons; and
every gallon has to be paid-for and
painted-$2 to 81 day for painting
paint stuffed-out with some sort of
whitewash. The less the price of a
gallon, the more the gallons.
Bank messengers better lookout
for their bags and not stop to hunt
for small coin; and property-owners
better lookout for the gallons that
make the expense, and not for the
price which has nothing to do with it.
Yours truly,

The winners had the wind with them

He was successful in saving until af-
ter about ten minutes of play Ander-

Today will be big and gala day
at Aala Park. There will be Captain
Berger with his band; A. K. Vierra,
holding his majestic cane of office;
Samuel di Hoppe, the local Chinese
pugilist, who fortunately viii not be
prevented by having to attend any
walking contest today; coatless Will
Prestidge and last but not least, there
will be L. Mon Tai, of the unlucky
Chinese Aloha aggregation, who will
be there as spectator only. Then
there will be the two best baseball
games of the season sine the Kalani-
anaole League started its series. Moth
ing better can have been arranged in
this program. Just imagine, the first
game will be fought between the Twi-
lights and the Nippons and the second
scrap is to take place between the two
leaders of the league, the Aalas and
the Chinese A. c.
NJ T. Marshall Jr, the two hundred
pound manager of the Twilights, made
a nice suggestion to the official scorer
a few days ago. Marshall stated to
the o. S. that James Kalauokalani Ka-
haawinui, or better known as Webster
Jr will play for his nine and that 1T
would be wise for the 0. S. to secure
an extra large size scorebook, as j. K.
K. w. Jr. has always shown by words
and actions that he prefers to have his
name written in full whenever he wears
a baseball uniform. 1t was such
good suggestion, that A. K. has promls-
ed to get the scorebook. Besides this
long name, there are Takahiramotosan
Wakita. who also has a Charles as a
prefix; Augustus Majestic Vierra
Comes; Joseph Goo Kim Sing Chong
Pung and many others of a similar
length in letters.
The first game viii commence at
1870 D. m. sharp and Immediately fol-
lowing this, the most talked of game
for the past week will take place.
frederick Irish Luning, the captain of
the ''hoodoo name' Aalas, wishes to
announce that he has the dragon lads
in his side-pockets and will exhibit
them as ''dead'' after the game. Lun-
ing will catch himself and will have
Manuel Comes, stalwart Portuguese
lad. who halls from the Wilds OF the
Kapiolani League as the slab artist.
Comes is twirler of great ability and
is looking forward for an opportunity
to show his speed in faster company.
Sing Chong, the captain of the Chi
nese nine and who can run around the
diamond exactly three times before
Billy Marshall circles it once, is by no
way in fear of the Twilights and will
have his full lineup in this game in
order to gain the leadership in the
league. Apau, the smiling kid, will
pitch and Chi Bui, who has caught
ever since the C. A. G. was organized,
will wear the mask. From all that can
be said at this time, this will be
snappy game and all the fans should
not miss the opportunity to see it.
It may be well to say that those
who desire to feel more comfortable by
being seated during the game, should
be on hand early. The rush for chairs
today will probably render Bill Pres
tidge eligible for the insane asylum

Saturday before and did some very
clever work. He is very heady play
er. and, while lacking the great speed
OF some of the other forwards, is so
sure with his feet that he more than
makes up for his lack of speed.
Guy Rothwen again decorated the
sidelInes and I was led to wonder why
this spry little forward was not given
chance either this time or during the
last game. The very fact that he
comes out ready and anxious to play
regularly should be enough to give him
a chance. Also, he is a player of no
mean ability and would be found use
full in the forward line.

The Second Half.
With the wind in their favor the
reds began to show up better but they
failed to score although Macconel did
put through on an offside play. Again
and again the red shirts threatened but
Bob was too much for them.
Finally the red ones made hard
concerted rush and Bob just had time
to catch the ball when he was threat

frustrated his clearing throw. Bob
didn t wait to argue the matter but
quietly pushed his opponent out of the
way. Bob Anderson was on to him
however and a penalty kick was the
consequence This resulted in the only
score for the Young Men.
