KE|O TEAM
A STRONG ONE
Ball Players From the Far East
Are a Very Likely
Bunch.

On the last steamer arriving from
the Orient the sporting fraternity of
Honolulu were enlightened as to the
personnel of the ball team from the
Far East, their records and positions.
One of the features of the brown
mems playing is their base-running.
For speed and action they are hard
to beat, as the st. Louis team can
well vouch for, while their handling
Of squeeze plays, double steals and
some of the latest tricks of the game
is certain to elicit the praise of the
fans.
Photographs of each player accom-
panied the mass of endorsements and
from time to time will appear in these
columns. Kayama, the twirler who
will do the slab work for the Keios,
is but a youngster, and from the pho
tograph resembles En- Sue.
Up to the time the Saints paid their
visit to Keio, Kayama played center,
but after a few instructions from our
boys in the underhand ball he managed
to plant himself in the box to do the
twirling against the Saints in their
last game. The result, to 8 in favor
of the East, was due alone to this boys
work.
For picking up new players and
demonstrating that they know how to
use them, it must be said that the
foreigners certainly can go some. I'm
like some of the American players,
they will listen, watch and learn, and
then nut the play through.
Keio University will bring twelve
men, a manager and a coach, and the
team is due to arrive here on July Z.
Honolulu will not be slow to take
these boys under its hospitable wing,
for the town knows from experience
how we'll the local boys Jared when in
the far eastern land.
The initial lineup of the team to play
Santa Clara and the Hawaiian mines
will be as follows: Fukuda. c.; Ko-
yama. O.; Takahawa. IT,; Abe, 2b.;
Kamujosi, 3D.; Kameyama, h.; Mura-
kami, If; Obasahi. cf.; Sasaki, SIS.

THOUSANDS TO
WITNESS START

LOS ANGELES, May 9.-The trans
pacifs yacht race promises to be the
greatest in the history of the Pacific
Ocean. Assurances have been received
that at least four yachts will be entered,
and the probabilities are that this num-
Der will be swelled to eight or nine.
The possible competitors in the trans
pacific race are of varied rigs and sizes
within the limit of the specifications in
the deed of gift of the trophy
Foremost among them is the schooner
yacht Lurline, owned by II. IL. Sinclair,
ex-commodore of the South Coast Yacht
Club of Los Angeles, and winner of the
first transpacifc race in 1906. She is
an oldtime San Francisco yacht, built
in the days of heavy timbers and clean
lines. She is wonderfully fast on a
beam wind, and is no SLOUGH when she
bucks into a head wind and sea.
Shortly before the last race to Homo
lulu Mr.. Sinclair decided to have her
stern lines altered The work was done
bv a San Francisco ship builder, Ben
Movers, who was then working at Ter
minal Island. The old bluff stern was
removed and her fore and aft timbers
heightened so that her stern. left the
water with a clean sweep. This, &C
cording to Mr.. Sinclair, had much to do
with her speed with fair wind. With
all her light sails set she romped
through the water, leaving clean wake
behind her.
San Pedro is preparing for great
Fourth of July celebration in honor of
the event. 1t is estimated that at least
$4,000 visitors will be in San Pedro on
the morning of the "Glorious Fourth "
% see the yachts sail away on their race.

KAMS ARE
CHAMPIONS

The best game of the interscholastic
baseball series played this season was
won yesterday afternoon at the Puma
hou grounds by the team which repre-
sented the Kamehameha Schools, from
the nine mailing from Oahu college, the
score being 10.
Fast and clean work characterized
the game though a number of costly
errors on the part of the Puns was
what caused their defeat.
In the fourth inning the Punahous
had the Kams beaten by four, the score
reading 40 in favor of the owners of
the grounds. Then it was that errors
began to creep in and the Rams tied
the score by easy work.
The same team which has done such
fine work for the Kams since the sea-
son started, did battle for the dusky
winners, though the Puns had num-
Der of men in different positions than
in former games.
Akina was tried at the box but was
batted out, Lyman, the Punahou stand
by, taking his place-a place which is
Lymans own and which he held down
until yesterday.
Only one more game of the schedule
remains to be played and that is be-
tween the Punahous and the Highs.
The Kamehamehas are champions of
the series, having won every game they
have played. Punahou will take sec
ond place. the High School coming
third with all the games lost which
they have played.
The personnel of the teams was the
same as in the previous games. Sam
Chillingworth umpired yesterdays
game.

Eben P. Low is in receipt of the
following interesting correspondence
from Cheyenne, Wyo.:
Cheyenne, Wye, May 9. 1908.
Mr. Eben P. Low, Honolulu. Hawaii.
Dear Sir: Replying to your favor of
April p beg to state that the Frontier
Committee will be willing TO pay $500
in cash toward the expense of your
two best riders and ropers, if they
will come to Cheyenne and participate
in our riding and roping contests on
August 20, p and %, 1903. We will
also provide room and board for them
during the days of the show. They
will, of course, have the same oppor-
tunity to participate in the contests
for prizes that any other contestants
might have.
Will do our best to give the boys a
good time, and assure them fair treat
ment in all contests. Let us know at
once what we can depend upon and
also give US the names of the boys
and any facts concerning them that we
could use in advertising them. If you
have any bucking or roping pictures
from which we could have cuts made
to be used in our advertising matter,
kindly send us same.
If the boys want this money adj
vanced TO them before they start, we
are prepared to make the advance, or
they can have it Immediately upon
their arrival here.
Thanking you for your interest in
this matter, and trusting it may be
convenient for you to be present with
us at the show, T remain, very re-
specially yours, E. w. STONE,
Secretary.
Mr. Low stated last light that it
was likely that he would send two
Hawaiian cowboys to the Frontier
Show, and that they would probably
be Ikua Purdy and Archie Kaaua.

BOXERS HAVE A
LIVELY DAY

Both Jockey Willis and All Sam put
in busy days yesterday, each lad doing
a lot of good. hard work.
Willis climbed Punchbowl in the
morning and in the afternoon boxed
several fast rounds with Ernest Heine
and Tommy Lane. After taking off
the gloves he wrestled, a bout with
each of his sparring partners.
Skipping the rope and stair-clfmbing
completed the afternoons work.
Willis is as hard as rock and could
box his man tomorrow We're that nee
essary. He let Messrs. Heine and Lane
soak him good and hard yesterday, but
their hardest blows didn't feaze him
little bit.
Quite a crowd of interested specta-
tors watched the jockey go through his
training stunts. Today he will spar
at the Baths at p. m.
All Sam did his usual road work in
the morning and in the afternoon Wis
tied the marine camp, where he boxed
four brisk rounds with handy ma
rine.
Along about p. m. he took a run
az" II 10 the hdldHtdiidoie <AliRiSti1
Club and boxed several rounds with
Bill Huihui. In addition to Huihui,
George Kanaulelio and Kupa are spar
ring With the Chinaman. Their plan
IS to give him as fast work as posi-
Bile with the view of putting him in
shape to offset the much Wanted
cleverness of Willis.
All Sam will work at the Kalania- |
1aoIe Athletic Club this afternoon at
O'Clock. The club is next to the
&c works and almost across from the |
Rainier establishment.

RICE
WANTS GAME

That Honolulu is likely to have some
good polo during the visit of the fleet
is evidenced by the following COM
munication:
Lihue, Kauai, May %, 1908.
Mr.. Eben P. Low, Honolulu, Oahu.
Ny Dear Eben: Your favor has just
been received and | hasten to assure
you that we will go up with our polo

we can commence practising.
With aloha nui,

nection with the Wild West show that
he is planning to give during the stay
of the feet.

KAAHUMANUS
DEFEAT MILLS

In the third game of the Junior In
tercollegiate baseball league played
yesterday the Kaahumanus added an
other easy victory to their list by de-
feating Mills Institute to the tune of

Alex Asam, who was in the box, sue
ceeded in tanning nine men while
Chun In and En- Pui combined struck
out six. The Mills lost the game
through errors by the infelders.
The Kaahumanu players did their
usual good work at the bat and in
fielding.
The stick work of the Kaahumanus
was exceptionally good, and Alex Asam
succeeded in knocking the sphere for
a home run while All Tau, James Ay-
lett and Sam Avail had two-baggers
to their credit.
Harold Lishman caught a good game
for the Kaahumanus and Chun Put of
the Mills did equally well.

PRIZE AND PREMIUM FAKES.
Bait Held Out to Catch the Trade
the unsophistlcated.

Prize and premium offering are
methods that are resorted to BY some
concerns that seek to do business
through the mails with people resid-
ing in agricultural districts. The wise
people will never be caught on this
game. All classes and kinds Of goods
have q real value, and are worth 30
much In the markets OF the world.
The farmer who has 1000 bushels OF
wheat to sell knows that his goods
have fixed value dependent upon the
market prices. 1t would be foolish for
him to offer to the buyer as an In
ducement few head OF cattle, 4 bar.
rel OF cider or q slab Of bacon In order
to induce him to buy. Yet these very
farmers win bite at proposition
which is identical1y the same In prin.
ciple. The manufacturer Of soap Of
fers ten dollars worth OF soap and to
the buyers give piece Of furniture OF
the value OF ten dollars. Is this a fair
business deal? Can the manufacturer
afford to do 1t II his goods are stand
ard? He may say that by selling d.
rect ito the consumer. and cutting
out middlemen's profits" he can afford
to do SO. But this Is q lie, a flimsy
excuse, and is not In accordance with
sound business principles. There
must be profit for the manufacturer
or he will fail. He does make profit.
He even makes larger profit than
the average dealer in goods of his
kind. In the first place he sells the
cheapest kind Of article, even though
1t may look nice and be highly per.
fumed. In the second place he gives
light weight and gets the highest
price. The value OF the premium
given is always misrepresented, ex
aggerated, and that which is supposed
to be worth ten dollars is not
worth four dollars, and for the
latter amount can be purchased
from any respectable dealer. The
premium is never free. 1t must
be paid for and IT. is the one 20 who

Disconnected Wives.

Wives who are discontented have
various causes for their unhappiness.
The one most frequently met is the
wife who is miserable because she dis
covers that marriage is not lasting
picnic, who cannot realize that the
husband must be different from the
lover, and therefore spends her days
in impotent whining. She is always
being neglected, and always taking
offense; she has an Unsuitable craving
for attentions, and needs continued
assurance of affections, wasting her
time and feelings in getting up
pathetic scenes of accusation, which
finally weary and then ALLEVIATE her
husband. There is nothing man
hates more than woman going sob
bing and complaining about the house
with red eyes, unless it be a woman
with whom he must live in perpetual
fools paradise of perfection, says the
New York Weekly. There are also
discontented wives who goad their
husbands into extravagant expendi-
ture, and urge them to projects from
which they would naturally recoil.
There are others whose social ambt
tions slay their domestic ones, and
who strain every nerve in season and
out of season, and lose all their self
respect, for few crumbs of con-
temptuous patronage from some per-
son of greater wealth than their own.
Some wives fret If they have no chill.
dren, others just as much If children
come. In the first case they are dis.
appointed, in the second inconveni.
enced, and in both discontented. Some
lead themselves and others wretched
lives because they have not three
times as many servants as are neces
sary; still greater number because
they cannot lead life of constant
amusement and excitement
