IMPROVING THE
SQUEEZE PLAY

The Seals are working the squeeze
play differently than 1t was manipulate
ed last year, says the San Francisco
Bulletin of the Sth. AS soon as the
pitcher started to wind up it has been
the custom for the base runner on
third to dash for the plate. Often the
pitcher has seen what was coming or
and wasted the ball and the base run
ner was an easy out. Captain Mothers
instructions to the base runner this
year is for him to walt until the pitch
er let's go of the ball before he at
tempts to score. In the second inning
yesterday Zeider was on third when
MohIer came to bat. Up went the
squeeze signal. 1t was noticed that
Zeider was late leaving third base,
though he scored easily, and the first
thought was that he failed to get the
signal, which was not the case.
Zeider caught the signal fast enough.
but ne stuck to third until Kinsella
cut loose the ball.

FROELECHER WINS HAWAIIAN
WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP
Frank Kanae Makes Good Showing But Sue
cumbs to Superior SkII---Saor Roberts
UphoIds Nays Honor.

Honolulu had its first taste OF good
wrestling last night and judging from
the way that the crowd at the Or
pheum applauded the evenings sport,
the game has come TO stay. Indeed, it
looks as if wrestling would soon be as
popular here as boxing was, even in
its palmiest days.
The theater was we'll filed and there
wasn't single stage seat unoccupied.
Round the mat were the old, familiar
faces which one was wont to see at
the ring events. 1t is doubtful il a
more representative crowd has ever
been seen at a ringside than that which
was grouped round the mat last night.
The native element were out in force
for two of Hawaii's sons We're billed
to perform and both were literally
backed, particularly Frank Kanae, on
whom a pile of money was bet before
the main event was called.
The nights sport was as good as the
most fastidious could desire. Interest
and it fully came UP to expectations.
Kanae made brave showing against
Hans Froelecher and surprised even
his friends by the way in which he
stood the Swiss athlete off. 1t must
be remembered that he is a novice at
the game, whereas Froelecher was not
so very long ago the 16S-pound cham
pion of the world and was never
beaten in his class.
Froe1echer won the match, but it
took him eight minutes to secure the
first fall and twelve minutes before he
downed the husky native the second
time
Sailor Roberts had no difficulty in
throwing Amosa Kauahi twice in sue
cession and the man-of-warsman
Ashowed up like a good man who will
improve a whole lot more with more
experience on the mat.

fshoharas being the ex-champion of
Hawaii.
After the main event Froelecher and
Roberts wrestled an exhibition bout of
ten minutes duration in which all the
fancy holds in wrestling were shown.
This pleased the crowd nightly.
Mitsuka, whose wrestling name is
Wakaminato, the giant Jap. was intro
duced to the crowd and a challenge to
the winner from him was read. He
weighs over 200 pounds and looks to be
a very hard customer to tackle.
Froeleeher goes to the Coast next
week as he has business to attend to in
San Francisco at the end of the month.
He intends to return here
1t is probable that a match will be
made on Monday between Roberts and
Kanae or Mitsuka and Roberts.
Harry Cobb acted as referee and
did his work to the notch. The COM
munity is fortunate to have such a
fine judge of the game among them.

monies and announcer.

while Froelecher perspired over him.
Skill told in the long run, however,
and the second fall was registered
against the native. The fall had taken
twelve minutes to secure.
Both men were heartily cheered on
leaving the stage.
Froelecher and Roberts wound up
the program with a clever exhibition,
which was one of the best things of
the evening. Froelecher aroused great
enthusiasm by taking Roberts by one
thigh and swinging him round and
round.

SAYS KANAE rs GOOD.

Frank Kanae is a very strong man,
and with a course of good coaching
would make a clever wrestler. He is
game, and could acquire speed. I am
going to San Francisco, but when I
come back in a couple of months I
should like 70 take Kanae in hand and
make a good wrestler out of him. I
don't quite understand the Hawaiian
climate. and trained too hard. I felt
a bit stale. I was well satisfied with
the arrangements, and will be glad to
wrestle again on my return. HANS

and Kauahi 10 pounds.
In less than a minute Amosa over
balanced himself and Roberts fell on
him. pinning him to the ground.
When they got going again Amosa
rushed at his man and Roberts clos
ing in on him at once had him on his
back in a twinkling.
The men left the mat, but the an
nouncer returned after minute or so
and stated that Roberts would not
take the first fall, as Amosa had fall
en- accidentally. He said that the men
would wrestle another fall so as to
place the issue beyond the shadow of
a doubt.
Amosa had had enough of the sail
or's game, however, and said so. He
couldn't have been dragged on the mat
again with a team Of mules.
ISHOHARAS SHOWS CLASS.
Announcer Ayres, after the custom
airy interval. stated that the boxing
exhibition which had been billed was
off, owing to the indisposition of one
of the principals. A wrestling match
between two heavyweight Japs of class
had been substituted, however, so that
faith might be kept with the house.
The Japanese wrestled with girdles
and string aprons in true Nipponese
style. They We're well-built fellows,
and thorough opponents of their par
ticular speciality. Ishoharas, the ex-
champion, looked to be in poorer con-
dition than his heavier opponent.
Ishoharas took the FIRST fall, and it
Masekeyama evened up matters in
the second period and threw his man
so decisively that he came near stun
hing, him.
In the deciding bout Ishoharas took
no chances of another fall, but hung
on TO his sturdy rival and awaited an
opening. Presently he secured a CIR
}dle hold and, after jockeying for a
while, by a great effort dumped the
big man and held him down long
enough for the referees award. The
referee of this match was a Japanese
expert at the game.
THE MAIN EVENT.
After an interval of ten minutes,
hans Froelecher and Frank Kanae
appeared and were introduced. They
was seconded by August Reinecke and
Professor Peter Baron. Kanae was
attended by VIII Prestidge and Jim
Spencer.
Referee Cobb stated that certain
holds would be barred-the strangle-
hold. hammerlock, flying mare, leg-up-
the back and full Nelson.
Kanae looked to be in the pink of
condition and tipped the beam at 1870
pounds. Froe1echer seemed to be very
finely drawn and looked small COM
pared with the native. His weight
was 165 pounds.
The men soon grappled, and for
time Kanae seemed to have a good
show of getting a fail. He forced
Froelecher about the mat, but the lat
ter was very wary and husbanded his
strength till he saw an opening.

failed, and there were great cheers for
the native.

were not disappointed. The game was
new to me, but last nights experience
did me a lot of good. That Froe-

handled me with ease when he got in
his fine work. He is a good man to

Embroidered bands are fashionable
for cloth or velvet gowns, and color is
introduced into them in many differ

1t is interesting to see how touch of

how a thread of gold or silver or

without openly playing the mentot;
how to gain his confidence without ap-

him without alarming him! No, there
was no great harm in him yet; only
the impulse of inconsiderate youth;
only an enthusiastic capacity for pleas

One thing was imperative-the boy
must cut out his card playing for

to accomplish that by impressing Ger
