Dear Sir: Looking down from the

You have heretofore, on two .occa-
sions, by connivance and contrivancc,
mixed with a goodly share Of good
luck. perhaps mostly the latter, man
aged to pull Us off our pedestal. That
makes no difference. We are feeling
verv strong lust now. and if You think
YOU can scrape your team together, we
hereby challenge you to play a game
of real live baseball on Thanksgiving

tell YOU that the day is Thursday. No

We do not care to make many CON
ditions. and hence confne ourselves to
the following: We do not believe that
any Of the Justices of the supreme
Court should act as umpire. We would
NOT object to either Of the three Cir
cuit Judges as umpire; provided, such
umpire before giving any oral decision
shall recite his full title in order that
the public may know that he has lu'
rsdiction. and give bond for the re-
turn Of the ball.
We would strenuouslv object to the
Tax Assessor acting a- umpire for the
reason that he is CON TO-" All Of our

reason that his Office never returns
ANYTHING it gets. Very truly yours,

SECOND TEAMS
AGAIN PLAY DRAW
High School and Punah0u Again
Watch Second FleVenS
Play Tie.

1t was an awful hard game that both
the High School and the Oahu College
second teams put up yesterday after
noon on Alexander field, yet neither
side could score. Twice during the
game it seemed certain that the school
would cross the Punahou line but both
times they were disappointed.
The first time was in the first half
after ten minutes of play. The school
started series of straight bucks with
variations that took them to within
ten yards of the Punahou goal, then
they lost the ball and the Oahu boys
cleared with a long kick.
The second time was just as no side
was called. The High School kicked
from their own forty-yard line and sent
the ball way down the field. By clever
following up the ball was gained pos
session of fifteen yards from the Pu-
nahou line. The High School lined up
and took formation for a placed kick
when the whistle blew for time. They
were so squarely in front of the goal
that a kick was almost a certainty and
1t was sure hard luck that there was
not another minute in which to have
the big try come off.
Kellett, the new school man, played
a strong game. He is very slow bus he
uses his head to great advantage and
some of his tackling was very clever.
When he saw that there was no chance
to do anything by rushing into the
mass, ne stayed where he was and held
himself ready for the next play. He
played left end most of the time al
though his name is down as full-back
on the lineup.
Punahou kicked off and the school
took the ball well away before being
downed. Then followed long series
of bucking by both sides in which no
body gained any very great advantage
until after ten minutes of play the High
School began to forge down towards
their opponents line.
Punahou took possession on their
own ten-yard line and cleared with
long kick. From then on it was nip
and tuck all the time. Sometimes the
ball was in Punahou territory and
sometimes in the school country but
neither side gained very much advan
tage.
Shortly before half time the school
kicked for what would have been long
gain, if they had kept possession. Bond
caught and fumbled, apparently Pratt
the school center, fell on the ball, but
Umpire Lyman gave the ball to Puma
hou on account of Pratt fumbling
and a more than pal tial recovery by
Bond
: 1t was a very close lecision and it
reflects great credit on I le school root
ers that they forbore to make fuss.
1t was one of those eases where the
umpire sees more than the spectators
and, though it certainly looked from
the sidelines as though Pratt should
have had the ball, Charlie Lyman s

TOO MUCH.

He had married a rich and beautiful
widow, thus making 1t unnecessary for
him to ever work again. At first he
appeared to be very happy, but be-
fore long his friends began to notice
a look of sadness on his countenance.
He seemed to be gradually sinking
into state of melancholia, and one
morning the community was startled
by the announcement that he had ap-
piled for divorce. Then it was that
one of his friends went to him for the
purpose Of learning the nature of his
trouble.
Surely" the friend said, you must
be mistaken in your suspicious. Your
wife is one of the most estimable
women ever knew. 1t is impossible
for me to believe that she can have
separation. Come. old man. make a
clean breast of it. Perhaps you have
become morbid and fallen into the
habit of imagining that things are
worse than they are

but my imagination is not In any way

Children. fools, and those who hav-

clined to lean toward extremes, or are
most prone to acts of excess or def
cheney. Certainly. it is no simple
thing always to strike happy me-
dunn. Nor is 1t such an easy matter
to be unfsiling in our efforts to dis
criminate fairly between normal and
abnormal conditions. !, But we must
not either silently or expressly con-
sent to tilt recklessly on the equally
dangerous extremes OF excess or de.
feet, when steadfast and solid center
is available; when we have access to
