Honor for each of the scars they bear;
Tears for the blood that they had to
shed.
Signs for the ills that they had to share:
Love for their hope when hope had fled
From the weak who covered in pale de-

Fame. but not for the shame OF those

Cheers for their love Of the gallant foes
Whose bayonets by their own were

Love for the grace that the hero shows
To the vanquished foe who has paid the

Cheers for the heroes marching by;

Love for their faith when the streams ran

And despair was written across the sky.

WEBER FINDS
REAL FRIENDS

There was quite bunch of fans
down to see Reilly work with young
Weber and somebody made the remark
that the preliminary between Weber
and Nelson was by way of being a
main event and the card looked like
a double main event to him.
This is true to a great extent, for
Weber is very different lad from
the one who went out under Reilly's
punches last Saturday. He says, and
this is borne out by the statements of
those who should know, that he was
not feeling fit at the time. He had
trained too hard to get down to weight
and had overdone it.
Now, however, he is feeling first rate
and is very confident that Fred Smith
will pay him the money after the bcut.
He and Reilly have taken a great Xix
ing to each other, which curiously
enough is often the case when one man
puts another ont and this alone is good
for Weber as he was actually without

NEW TRAIL BUILT
ON THE MOUNTAINS

For the benefit of the Walkers Club
and pedestrians generally, new path
has been projected and about three
miles are open, thought not yet finish
ed. The path begins on the ridge di-
rectly back of PunchbOwl, starting at
the foot of the second steep rise from
the ridge path. 1t turns to the left
and runs on one easy grade along the
steep side of Pauoa valley, giving fine
views of that very pretty garden spot.
Turning the corner of the ridge at the
edge Of the land of Kalawahine it en-
tiers the old Hawaiian woods and thence
to the extreme head of Pauo valley
it winds in and out of romantic glens,
along the edge of precipices and opens
recesses and shaded dells along lower
Tantalus, hitherto unvisited because in
accessible, by most of the mountain
climbers. In the head of PauOa the
path will join the old Konahuanui trail,
and for the first time trampers will
find easy and quick access to that in
teresting mountain. Already path
has been opened connecting the Fam
talus drive with the new "Pauoa
path" starting from the foot of the
Tantalus cone at the mauka end of
the causeway, or "hogsback" A path
will also unite the new road with the
trail running mauka on the ridge from
Pacific Heights, and another is project
ed running down the steep side of
Nuuanu valley from the head of Pauoa,
joining the Pail road near Luakaha.
Horseback riders are warned to keep
off as an animal would surely fall over
some of the precipices, on the faces of
which the road is cut.
The construction of this new path
is due to the courtesy of the KapiOlani
estate, the Territorial government and
the Bishop estate, through whose lands
it masses

BIC MYSTERY
IS EXPLAINED
Lineup of Davies Team Shows
Why They Beat EIectrics
by Is Runs to 4.

At last the mystery is explained.
People were wondering how it was the
employees of the Hawaiian Electric Co.
should get together the gingerest team
of ball players they could and then go
down to defeat before the Davies boys.
just east your eye over this lineup
and then understand why the fuse wire
kids were short circuited to the tune
of Is to I yesterday afternoon. 1t
looks more like an all Hawaiian lineup
-Stkan anything else.
NJ. Joseph, c; G. McCorriston, SIS;
Paul Burns, lb; G. Bruins, p; A. Robert
son, 2b; Jack Kia, 3b; Sam Wilcox, If;
En- Sue, IF, and j. Rickard, CT. Now,
what earthly chance has bunch of
ordinary electricians against that ANAL
gamation of starsl Chance9 not a one,
not even a telephone call from one.
Here is where the Davies aggrega-
tion change their names. No more the
Britishers but the Ringers. Britishers2
why. there isn't so much as one lion S
whisker amongst the whole team. 1t
may be possible that they all work for
the Davies company, but any manager
of a mercantile house baseball team,
who puts out list like the above, de-
serves 10 have his team dubbed the
Ringers, so let that be their name from
now on.
OF course it was a slaughter. The
hard working sparklets put up brave
fight and did jolly we'll to make four
runs. Big Paul Burns was smiling all
over himself while he was pitching
during the latter part of the game and
every time a select coterie of humorous
rOOters balled him out, he smiled more
broadly and sent the balls over harder
than ever.
Kupa pitched dandy game for the
losers and was well backed up. It is
true that centerfeld dropped one or
two, but what do you expect when they
come red hot off big league bat? All
the trouble chasers played a good game
and, if they would practise a bit and
get together more often, they could
come so near putting it over the ship
ping clerks that the latter would have
to jump sideways.
In justice to the Ringers, not that
they have very much consideration
coming to them, it should be said that
the En- Sue mentioned is not the ORR
Sludl one OF IuaI udne DuJ ne IL Ell
Sue and anybody who answers to that
is bound to be a ball player.
1t really was one of the jolliest games
of the very much prOtracted season.
There was quite a crowd of fans to
watch the game and they made no bones
about roofing vigorously for the spark
lets. An inquiring fan arrived on the
ground about the sixth inning and in
nocently asked when the big league
players had taken to practising on Aala
park. When he was told that this was
the EleetricsDavies game and realized
the truth of the statement he imme-
diately jumped over two chairs.
After he had been revived and was
able to ask questions he was assured
that all the players on the Davies team
worked for that house. "Why," said

ALOHAS HAVE
CHANCE TODAY

The usual games by the Riverside
League viii take place this afternoon
at Aala Park and with the hard prac-
tises the teams have gone into for the
past week, there is 10 doubt that some
fine baseball viii be seen today. In
the first contest, the Palama A. C. will
face the Chinese Alohas and in the sec.
ond game the Chinese A. G. will clash
with the unlucky Aalas.
The most important game of the two
is the first contest, which will decide
the leadership between the Palamas and
the Chinese Alohas. If the Alohas are
to meet defeat at the hands of the
Palamas in this game, their chances for
championship laurels will be all gone.
AS the Palamas are the best of the
two teams, it seems to be pretty sure
that the final fight for the champion
ship of the season this year will again
lie between the Chinese Athletic club IS
team and the Palamas. Kea1oha, who
pitched a fine game for the Palamas
last Sunday, is billed to pich against
the Alohas again and Ho Yup, will look
after the same job for the Alohas.
Hoopii and Brito will catch respect
lively. The teams will lineup as usual.
Charles Makanui s unlucky nine, the
Eheu kids, will face the Chinese Ath-
letics in the second game commencing
at $3.50 p. m. Makanui is reported to
have stated that the hoodoo is cleared
away and that his team will go up
against the Chinese lads with full con-
fdence of winning. The latter team
is heading the list in the second Sc
ries and all the Chinese fans of the
city are hoping that they will be able
to remain there. Akina was never in
such fine shape as he is today and is
down to pitch a record game against
s boys. Capt. Chi Bui wants
this game badly and has advised his
boys to play the best they know how.
1t will be hard fought game anyway,
with the chances pretty good for the
Chinese boys.

ONLY SPANISH
LEAGUE PLAYER

In the shade of the mesquite, to the
scintillating music of ''La Paloma" or
some other of those wiggly Mexican
pieces, Frank Julian Arellanes first
dreamed of being a baseball star
Now he is the newest pitcher for the
Boston Red Sox.
There are many men of Irish and
German descent in baseball. There are
some notable ones from France, Eng
land. Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Swift
erland and Russia. Some good ones
have been Indians, and there are few
from sunny Italy
But Arellanes is said to possess the
distinction of being the only man of
Spanish descent who draws a salary in
the big leagues. Arellanes pronounce
it Arellanes, with the accent on the
second syllable) is the descendant of
Spanards who settled in Southern Cal
ifOrnia some three generations ago. He
was born at Santa Cruz, and is twenty
four years old.
Arellanes pitched his first profess
sional ball for the Santa Cruz club In
1902, playing third base on days when
he did not pitch. Later he pitched for
other California teams, winding up at
San Francisco.
A salary dispute sent him to the San
Jose outlaw club. Hal Chase saw him
work there and got his signature to a
New York American League contract.
San Francisco contested New York'S
claim, and the National Commission de-
cided in San Francisco's favor.
But Arellanes, with true Spanish
stubbornness, kept clear of the Pacific
metropolis, going back to San Jose,
where he won thirteen games out of
fifteen this spring, the other two being
extra-inning contests which he lost 2

this morning. Long is the partner of
Jim Jefries in the Athletic club in
which Ketchei met defeat at the hands
of Papke. Long is very much put out
over the actions of r. E. Jones, the
manager of Papke, who, before the
fight with Ketchel, promised faithfully
to meet Hugo Kelly at the Jeffries
arena on Oct. IA, and then went to San
Francisco and signed to meet Ketchel
again. Long says, in part:
+" 1t s fellows like this that hurt the
game They break their word al every
opportunity, which causes i'll feeling

know one club manager is accusing the
other of embarrassing and then it's
goodnight to the sport. If managers

right on in every city. Take a fellow
like Nelson. and you don't have to

With a good friend to train him
and teach him few clever tricks,
his digestion in good order and nothing
to worry him, Weber should be in first

may be relied on to put up hard try
for the purse, the whole of which the
winner is to take.
Nelson is doing well with Leahy. He

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET


NEW YORK, Jan. 20.--The stock market
seemed indisposed to move far in either
direction today, the many waverings of the
early part of the day giving way to marked
dullness until the sudden decline just before
the closing The actual occurrence of the
event tictpated by successive buying Is
likely to lead to heavy selling to take
profits That such selling was in moderate
volume today might be partly attributed 70
the large amount of realizing effected dur
ing the last week. The conclusive evidence
furnished by Saturdays phenomenal bank
statement rapid progressive movement to-
wards q condition of redundancy OF the
money market was clearly an event to
schedule in the 9ist of hopes realized
There has been considerable previous
speculatlon also based on the expectation
that government authorities would permit
a modus viVendi for the coal carrying rail-
roads pending the entertainment OF the
validity of the law requiring the Investment
Of the ownership of their coal properties
The confession of the expectation on Satur-
day was calculated to invite realizing sales
by speculative buyers of the coal stocks AMI
these stocks were mainly affected by selling
Besides these technical reactionary causes
IN the market there were several elements
OF positive depression with which the mar
ket had to contend.
American smating broke in the early
dealings and again at the close, and its
weakness was accompanied by gossip re-
Earding the source of the selling calculated
TO aegraVate the sentimental effect of the
episode. The statement of earnings for De-
cember of the Baltimore & Ohio was i'm
pressive for several reasons. Coming as tho
first Of large systems to make return for
that period it not a cheerful index of
the general showing likely TO be made by
other companies. Its significance was en-
HANGED by tine fact that only small in
crease in the operating cost figured in the
result which was primarily due to the fail
ing off in the gross returns. The statement
Of the president of the company accom-
panied the report that SIS per cent of the
falling off in gross earnings in connec.
ton with the steel industry touched another
phase of the present situation which
speculative sentiment is always sensitive
The resisting power of the market seemed
to be negatively affected by the Baltimore
& Ohio and the United states Steel stocks
were affected only in a trihng degree by
this incident
On the other hand tho market was slug
gish in responding to some of the factors
of positive strength. a strong sustaining
influence was offered in the absorption of
NSouthern Pacific rising scale. Penn
