FROELECHER IN
TRAINING STUNTS

Frank Kanae has secured the ser
vices of Will Prestidge as training
assistant for his coming match with
Hans Floelecher. Prestidge is an old
wrestler and will be able to put Frank
next to many of the fine points of the
game.
Froelecher started training yester-
day morning at the Heafani boat
house, under the supervision of Pro-
fessor Pete Baron, the well-known
physical culturist. His work con-
sisted of skipping the rope. toying
with a 100 pound dumb-bell, practise
with the medicine ball, and SWIM
ming.
Today he will work out at Z a. m.
First of all jog will be INDUCED in
over the sandy road which leads down
20 the seawalI, and then he may wres-
tie with an assistant for few min
utes in the sand. The regular weight
stunts will follow and the mornings
work viii conclude with a thorough
massage.

Beinecke, a bag-puncher of repute,
who was for some time on the Or
pheum circuit.

Some of the best fishing to be had
in the vicinity of Honolulu is to be OBJ
tanned from KupikipilSio Point, about
two miles on the Waialae side Of
Diamond Head.
The point is a pile of lava rocks,
and the fisherman takes his stand
some twenty feet above the water
Close to the blow-hole is a good place
and when the sea is calm man can
climb down to lower lodges of rock
and there pursue his angling opera.
'tions in comfort
When the surf is rolling in heavily,
however. there is no fishing to be had
off the bluff. for the spray is dashed
over the highest rock, while down be-
low it is impossible to retain a foot
ing.
The Portuguese ulua fishermen use
the point a great deal and frequently
camp out all night UIua weighing up
to forty pounds are sometimes caught
and fish somewhat smaller are taken
frequently.
The ulua fisherman uses a very
heavy bamboo pole to which is at
tached a stout line running through
a moose at the end of the bamboo and
fastened in coil at the butt end of
the pole. A large hook is baited with
the tail of an uha eel, which has
been slightly grilled over a wood fire,
the thin end of the tail being allowed
to hang free from the hook.
The bait is thrown into the water
ha hay1 1~o+ \,
rocks as firmly as possible The
length of the line is calculated so as
to leave the bait dangling a little be-
low the surface. The action of the
wind and waves keeps the lure in
constant motion and to the hungry
ulua it resembles a fish fleeing from
an enemy. The fish grabs the bait,
but the heavy pole allows no play, and
in consequence it is not long before
the fish dies of drowning.
When a very heavy fish is hooked
the coiled line is paid out and the
fish played as much as possible. In
landing the fish the moose at the end
of the bamboo is unfastened and the
ulua is drawn up free of the pole.
There are plenty of small fish to be
caught from the point such as poo
paa, moano, hinalea luawahine, ma
mama and humuhumu, and good
sport is to be had on almost any fine
day when the tide is well on toward
the flood.
A float may be used from the bluff,
and it is pleasant thing to see a
red-painted bobber jerked down the
green depths by a. lusty luawahine or
hungry paul.
There is little fishing to be had on
the Waialae side of the bluff until the
old stump which lies half buried in
the sand is reached. In the holes of
the reef off this point poopaa are al
ways to be found, and often of a very
good size.
The poopaa is a gregarious fish and
loves to make it's home in clean coral
The fish seems TO dislike a weedy
spot for a habitat and is never found
where there is any mud about It isl
an eager feeder and will take almost
anything in the line of fish bait When

LEADERS IN THE
HANDBALL PLAY

The man with perfect score in the
Y. NJ c. A. handball tournament is
NJ c. Webster. who has played fifteen
games without losing one. Next to
him stands NJ. V. de Coito, who has
played fifteen games. He lost two Of
these, however, so his record is not as
good as Webster's. NJ. G. Johnston
comes third with record of nine
teen games played and four lost. H.
s. Chandler has played fifteen games
and has lost five. A number of other
men have good records.
The latest games played resulted as
follows:
H. Nicholson won from J, s. Her
riot, 15-10. 1910.
j. S. Herriot won from w. Gertz,
Ills, 1912, 1914.
G. Bechert won from T. Mcguire,
15-12, 14-15, 1871.
c. Lewis won from NJ. Ferreira,
15-14, 1913.
E. B. Blanchard won from NJ. Fer
reira, 15-11, 1877.
NJ c. Webster won from F. Franks,
1870, 1872.
H. Nickelsen won from Geo. Eva

the coral by expanding it's fanlike
wings. The fisherman often jerks his
line up minus the hook, thinking that
he has been snagged, whereas, had he
kept steady strain on the line, he
might have brought to bag a good
fish,
The poopaa is spotted like a trout,
the markings being bright carmine
The flesh is firm and good eating, par
tfcularly of fish caught at Waialae
and Kaalawai. This is true of other
fish beside the poopaa and may be due
to the limu on which the fish feed, as
well as to the clean water which
keeps the bottom free from mud, an
entirely different state of affairs to
that which prevails off the Kalia fats
Between the bluff and the bathing
pool wall fair fishing may at times be
had.
From ledge jutting into the sea
little on the Diamond Head side of
KupikipiKio Point. moi may be taken
right in the boiling surf. This fish is
one of shyest and the line must be
cast without any portion of the fish
erman's person appearing over the
side of the rock; otherwise there will
be flash in the surf and the school
of moi will have departed seward
quicker than it takes to tell it.
Off the rocks in front of the Carter
place there are always fish to be had.
In order to meet with success. the
bait must be cast out quite a dis
lance. This is best done by attaching
a piece of lead to the end of the line
and fastening the hook or hooks, one
two feet and the other three feet above
the lead. The main objection to this
method is the quantity of hooks lost
in the coral. and a fisherman should
carry at least a couple of dozen with
him if he intends to fish the day
through.
Much trouble may be saved by
fastening the lead to a piece of thin
line which is attached to the main
line. When the lead gets foul in the
coral a sharp jerk will sever the thin
line and save the main tackle.
I'm fishing this way a reel is, of
course, used. The fish taken viii be
principally awela, although all the
varieties which are to be found along
the reef are liable to take the bait.
The awela is a game fighter and
two-pound fish will put up SITTER
battle than almost any other fish of
the size that swims in local waters,
with the exception, perhaps, of the
paul.

WHERE THE BIG

draft or purchase last fall Bill Armour

as both of its fingers will probably
be returned, but Chech, Upp and sum
mers are more than likely to stick in
fast company.
The Senators will miss Upp this sum
mer Wicker has also gone and Jack
Townsend will not work for the ely
mer crew. 1t is up to the youngsters
and Jack Taylor TO make good.
The Louisville staff will be about the
same. Jim Durham, who was drafted
by Philadelphia, is hardly of major
timber and doubtless viii be sent back.
Otherwise the Colonies pitching force
will not be changed except in case some
of the youngsters make good.
Indianapolis loss of Summers is

pitch nearly as good ball in this COM
pany as the man whose place he took.
The recent RECESSION of the commission
by which Buttons" Briggs was award
ed TO Nashville will hurt Watkins.
About the only change in Milwaukee
is the loss OF Goodwin, who has gone
to Kansas City. Havenor was very
lucky in being able to retain big
Schneiberg, for this long fellow should
lose few games this year with a little
hitting and good support.
Jim Freeman and oscar Graham, two
of the best looking pitchers on the
Minnea polls club, were returned to
Chicago. and Washington, respectively,
but the chances are they will come
back to the A. A. Both are good men.
Gene Ford and Frosty" Thomas,
two old A. A. standbys, will be missing
this season. The Millers have dropped
both. but haven't filed their places yet.
If ST. Paul gets Farris and Crisis back
the twirling staff will look strong, but
without them the force will not shape
up any too good, as Minahan, Essick
and Leroy viii never startle the world.
Kansas City will figure up about as
heavy as it did last year. Most of the
Clubs will later on secure pitchers from
the majors.

.LUTTBEG HAD
CORRECT HUNCH
Champion Believed Something
Was Wrong in eotch-
Hack. Go.

The cabled news that Gotch had
beaten Hackenschmidt created much
interest in Honolulu.
Since Hackenschmidt arrived in the
East the papers have given much space
TO his condition, the consensus OF opin-
ion being that 1.-The Russian Lion" was
not the same man OF FIVE years ago
and that he looked more like a candi-
date for hospital than a principal In
a championship contest.
The Russian has been filling music
hall engagements in England for sew
eral years past and the late hours and
exercise in a vitiated atmosphere may
have Slapped his strength and affected
his powers of endurance.
Hackenschmidt, himself, emphatic
ally denied the stories that he was
in bad health and in no condition for
the match.
THE report about my being Ill Is just
as ridiculous as other stories started
recently by irresponsible parties de-
clared Hackenschmidt. l have not
trained hard for year, but ] viii be
in good condition by April 3. on my
short tour to Boston, Brooklyn, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore and Washington 1

Athletic Association in Chicago"
Sentiment in the East was all in
favor of the Russian Lion. Few of the
Eastern writers who have seen both
Hack and Gotch at work were willing
to concede that the American had more
than an outside chance. In the entire
career of the worlds champion no man
has ever managed to get behind him
and he has met some grapplers who
are believed to be as fast as Gotch.
In regard to the Gotch- Hacken-
schmidt match. Max Luttbeg. light
weight champion of the world, and one
of the cleverest wrestlers who ever
stepped on a mat, had this to say:
There is something queer looking
about this Chicago match and IL Gotch
wins I would not be in the least sur
prised. / saw Hack throw Jenkins at
Madison Square garden In New York,
and the Russian Lion merely toyed
with his man. He could have won a
fall at any instant, and to wrestlers,

know II better than anyone else, Jen-
kins's showing was pitiful. have al
ways believed that Jenkins was little
inferior to Gotch, and IL were called
on for an honest opinion, would say
that Hack can throw the American
champion about once every five min
utes. Still, I would not hurry about
betting on this match--I can see hole

Republican National Platform
Answers the Quettion

In his address to the republican
national convention, Temporary
chairman Burrows referred to the
republican victory in 1904, and
then asked:
I'm view of this Endorsement. it
becomes pertinent and opportune to
inquire, what has the republican
party done in the last four years of
government control to forfeit pub
lie confidence or create distrust i'll
its capacity for future administra-
tom"
For this question the Rochester
(New York; Union and Advertiser
finds striking answer. This is
the answer which the Union and
Advertiser takes out of the mouth
Of Senator Burrows own party:
In the broad effect of its policy
it has precipitated panic, blighted
industry and trade with prolonged
depression, closed factories, re-
duced work and wages, halted en-
terprise and crippled American
production. Every consideration
of public safety and individual
interest demands that the govern
ment shall be rescued from the
hands of those who have shown
themselves incapable of conducting
it without disaster. Prom the
