BERNARD STIRS
HORNETS NEST

Sporting Editor, Advertiser We
have been instructed by the Chinese
Aloha Club to reply to an article, pub
lished in this mornings issue, headed:
albert Akana Dissatisfies." We de-
sire to deny each and every item
therein published as being false and
without foundation, with the exception
that the Chinese Alohas were de-
feated.
Bernard Kelekolio, the writer of the
article, has nothing whatever to do
with the affairs of our club and is
talking through his hat. We would
advise him to paddle his own canoe
instead of attacking the character of
one of our most respected members,
simply for a little personal matter
connected with Kelekolio's All-Star
team of last September and our cap
tain, A. Akana.
We know of no mourning or dfssat-
isfaction among the members of the
Chinese Aloha Club or it's supporters,
as far as the defeat of the Aiohas last
Sunday is concerned. There may be
little dissatisfaction, however,
80
the baseball games at that park, but
none that we know of among the fans
who go there each Sunday just for
the sport of the game.
We understand that Kelekolio is now
candidate for a high public office,
and we believe that he should devote
his valuable time to important matters
rather than attack the reputation Of
our captain for personal reasons.
The simple losing of a game is no
reason for US to change captain, as
that is part of the game. Everybody
goes in to play the game to lose or
win. and We can not comprehend why
the Chinese should feel as Kelekolio
said they do.
Thanking you for the space, we are,
yours very truly,
L. MON TAI.

canoes.

ries of canoe races and surfboard car
. nival during the stay of the fleet.
Numerous requests have come from
wives, daughters and friends of the
club members asking that ladies aux
Hilary be formed. Space for ladies'
bathhouse on the seaside property has
been offered, and the advisability of
having such an annex will come up for
consideration. Many well known ladies
have already arranged for lessons in
surfboarding, and a number of young
school girls are making up afternoon
parties with the object of showing the
boys of Waikiki that the girls can also
learn to stand on the surfboard.
A building fund committee will be or
ganized, and the work of construction
begun at once, several subscriptions to
the building fund having already been
proffered The dues, which are five
dollars year, will be used only for
running expenses. but it is expected that
before the fleet arrives a handsome
club lanai will adorn the beach front
at Waikiki. Open house will be main
tanned during the stay of the fleet, and
number of surfboards placed at the
disposal of the men of-warsmen

resulted in w. L. Warren defeating
A. J. Lowrey, Ga. So, 6-3.

have a chance with him is W. P. Roth,
