The above is the wording of the
resignation of w Tin Chong, the sec
rotary of the Riverside Baseball
League. who resigned as such last
week.
Chong has held the position for two
years and has decided to make room
for someone else. He stated that it
is hard for him to hold the position
of secretary and press agent at the
same time and so has come to the
conclusion to give one up.
1t was stated among the Riversiders
Yesterday that =. Fl. Kelekolio, the
Boy Orator, will be elected to succeed
Chong as secretary. Kelekolio was
the former president of the league, and
with his past experience will no doubt
make good secretary.

teams so angry as the rest of the
league were at the loss of this SERIES
The day before the baseball season
started, the Kams. were quoted as say
ing that they were not at all satisfied
with the team which they had out on
the field to represent the school, but
that they would do their best to win
the championship. The first game which
they played showed them to be crack
players, and players who would easily
take the championship in spite of the
fact that they "were not satisfied
with their team - Why the Kams
should have made that statement is
more than the rest of the teams under
stand, as the Kams certainly know
ingly belittled themselves, and as some
of the other players say, with an at
tempt to throw the other sides off the
scent.
a number of the younger element in
the grammar schools formed leagues of
their own in football and baseball. The
football league was composed of teams
representing the High, Kaahumanu and
st. Louis, the younger Saints winning
out Two new faces were seen IN the
baseball league, those of Aliiolani and
Mills. The High School failed to show
up when the league was about to form,
and so did not get to play. Who the
winner of the series viii be is more
than can be said as yet, as the sched
ule is not completed, and two teams are
tied for first place.
Interclass baseball games were the
rule at the High School When 1t was
decided that the dual league between
the Puns. and themselves was to be
called off, the classes got together and
went through the various field and
track events just as if they were COM
peting against another school. The
Sophomore class was declared the win
ner of this event. The dual track
league which the Rams. and the Puns.
had formed was won this year by the
Kamehamehas.
Punahou held an interclass tennis
tournament, as also did the Highs. The
Puns. played on their own courts, but
the Highs had to use the Miller street
courts for a while, and then played
the final series on the Quarantine
Island courts.
The Kamehameha girls, not to be
outdone by their brothers, held field
and track day of their own. Some
surprising time was made.

A Year in School Athletics

From an athletic standpoint, the
school year, which is now rapidly
drawing to a close, has been one grand
success. True, few petty misunder,
standings have caused bit of unpleas-
antness among the various teams, bal
on the whole the athletic spirit shown
has been of favorable nature.
Championship honors have been
about evenly divided; the High School
winning out in the socker football Sc.
ries and in the dual league basketball
games which it played against the Nor
NAL boys Punahou won the intercol-
legiate games in football, and the Ka-
mehamehas captured first honors in
baseball. In the dual track league
which the Rams. formed with the Pun
ahous they won out. The Normals
took honors in girls basketball, win
ming the series from the High School
girls.
The lack of field in which to prac
tise told on the High School. The other
schools with the exception of the Nor
NAL had the good fortune to own their
own athletic grounds with the added
comfort of dressing rooms.
Triangular leagues were formed be-
tween the High School, Kamehameha
and Oahu College in socker football,
IoroL,n ar5 ;p+apoCIIauiafe football
The same league was intended to cover
a track meet, but Kamehameha de-
elned to enter, and plans were formed
by which a dual league for field and
track purposes was to be formed be-
tween the Puns. and the Highs. The
league was one grand fZxle owing to
the mo savey'' of some of the leaders
in charge. of arrangements. Dual
leagues for both girls and boys basket
bail were formed by the Normal School
and the Highs In the matter of girls
basketball, the High School captain
tried hard to get the Kamehameha and
Punahou girls to join in the scheme,
but as the principals of both schools
were opposed to the idea the matter
fell through.
The unparalleled success which the
Normal girls had in defeating their
rivals led the High School boys to wish
for chance to recover their lost pres
tige. and they challenged the Normal
boys to a series of games, which the
Highs won easily, and that school is
to be given a lot of credit for the way
in which they did battle for their
games.
in the Island championship meet. a
meet in which men athletes formed the
majority of entries, a number of boys
from Kamehameha. the High School,
and Punahou competed against their
older rivals in manner which gained
for them enviable records.
The seeker series, which was won by
the High School. was novelty in in
circles. The players did
wonderful work considering the time in
which they had to learn the game. The
fact that the High School had few
men who played in the major league
counted much for the success of the
winners.
In the intercollegiate game the Pun
ahous turned the tables on the Highs
by winning out and also by ringing IN
some league players. The Hams. won
the baseball series, and never were

for instance, he will usually see to
it that the robber is prosecuted.
If a man is murdered, the relatives
or friends of the murdered man
will generally put the machinery
OF the law in motion against the
murderer. In each of these in
stances there is a private injury as
well as a public wrong. In
bribery, violation of the gambling
laws, the dramshop laws, or rail-
road rebate laws, there may be no
individual injury, but there is al
ways a public injury. Laws of
this kind are the most difficult of
enforcement, and unless the official
who represents the public takes it
upon himself to see that they are
carried out, they often go unen-
forced. They do not enforce them
selves. Without officials to execute
them, they are as useless as guns in
war without men behind them

BEING A LAW UNTO ONESELF

Respect for law is the greatest
need of today. The head of a great
corporation should be compelled
to respect the laws regulating the
conduct of his corporation, as he
demands that others respect the
law that protects the property of
the corporation. The anarchy of
capital, breeding lawlessness,
should no more be tolerated than
the anarchy of labor, breeding riot
and disorder. Men should be
taught that the unjustifable kill
ing of a human being is murder,
whether it be done by one as an in
dividual Or as a part of a mob of a
thousand. The dramshop keeper
should be made to realize that the
law governing his dramshop is just
as sacred as the law that protects
him in the enjoyment of his prop
erty, If it were left to each man
to say what laws he will obey and
what laws he will not obey, there
would be no binding laws at all.
The trust magnate looks with alb
horrence on the pickpocket who
violates the larceny statute, but
thinks he has a perfect right to
break the law against combina-
tons and monopolies; the burglar
views with contempt the law
breaking of a trust, but considers
the law against HOUSEKEEPING as
an interference with his personal
liberty; the CRATER scorns The thief
who breaks the larceny statute,
but deems the law against bribery
a blue-laW; the dramshop keeper
calls loudly for the enforcement of
the law against the man who robs
his cash drawer, but denounces the
law regulating his saloon as puri-
tanical. Folk of Mis-

General Wright quotes General
discount Wolseley as follows:
when Americans can review the
history of their rebellion with calm
impartiality, I believe all will ad-
nit that General Lee lowered far
above all men on either side in the
great struggle
There is no controversial spirit
displayed, but a candid expression
of opinion upon a question which
will never lose interest.
For the South to have produced
the greatest soldier who ever spoke
the English tongue, and the great
est man that ever dWelt among
men, is enough to fill her cup Of
glory to overlooking.
Foreign military critics have
placed Robert E. Lee and "Stone-
wall" jackson at the head of AM
erican commanders without regard
to the side on which they fought.
They were not only great strate-
gists, but they were tremendous
fighters, never h~esitating to attack
when an advantage was to be
gained, and while they may have
encountered a repulse, they never
met defeat, but almost always vic
tory.
Stuart's raid around Nc lellan's
army in front Of Richmond was the
first movement Of the sort by cav
airy on record, and it had an enor-
nous effect in reviving the spirits
Of the Southern soldiers and the
confidence of the Southern people,
who had been greatly cast down
by McClellan's successful advance
up to the very gates of Richmond.
As to Forrest, he was an in
spired and intuitive military ge-
MUS. He was not like the others,
a graduate of West Point. and
had never known anything Of war,
either from experience or from
reading, as he had never been a
student Of history, but had lived
a most active existence in agricult-
ure and general business. But he
was instinctively a strategist, and
was by nature and temperament a
fighter, and a bold one. His name

SOME CONFEDERATE SOL
DIERS

It is somewhat strange that
questions as to who was the
South greatest military comman-
der in the Civil War of 1876
should come up at this late day,
more than forty years after the
close Of that tremendous struggle,
but although the matter has been
settled long ago by the worlds
great military critics, the subject
is one that still excites no little
interest.
It seems that United States
Senator from Texas Charles A.
Culberson has been seeking Con-
federate military opinions on the
subject, and has received a large
number, which, it appears, he has
had printed. Senator Culberson
was only ten years old at the close
Of the Civil War, and, Of course,
could have had no experience in the
campaigns of that conflict. An
account OF the Senator under
taking III the premises was printed
in a recent issue of the Houston,
Texas, Chronicle, and from it the
following particulars are gained.
Senator Culberson addressed to
fortyrthree surviving general Off
GERS of the Confederate Army the
following:
Dear General take great in
terest Id the history Of the Civil
War. win therefore thank you
to do me the favor Of giving me
your opinion as to- who is entitled
TO rank as the greatest commander

that war. Very truly yours,
