or, not gain, to be upright, not to be
successful. to be good, not to be pros
porous, to be essentially, not outward
ly.
We who are about to be graduated
from this grand, old institution OF ours
can plainly see where we made our
mistakes and we do not wish to be
condescending or to assume the ap
pearance of having a knowledge su-
perior to yours, but simply to give you
the benefit of our experience in the
hope that you will profit by it.
Every tree on our beloved campus.
if it could speak, could doubtless tell
it's story of "joy and Woe" of "anger
ard triumph" Every hall and every
recitation room contains its story OF
blasted hopes and buried visions. But
the picture is not composed entirely
of the darkness. Like Caesar many can
say, II came, I saw. I conquered"
That's just what we hope for you. We
hope that each and every undergrad
uate of this institution will be able to
say these words when his college days
are over.
1t is our sincere wish that when your
Commencement day is at hand you
will be ready to go forth and fight
with head and a strong arm on the
great battlefield of life.
Education is a great thing If it is
properly used. but like all other val
liable things, it is very easy to abuse
it ana he who does not succeed after
having been well educated is far
more miserable failure than he who
hn
through lack of proper training. "In
the bright lexicon of youth" we are
hold, "there is no such word as fail"
there is, however such word as
confidence" on that same lexicon and
too much confidence has caused the
failure of many a man whose youthful
lexicon did not disclose the word
fail" SO the sermon we would preach
to you is not to be too confident, to
realize that there are obstacles ahead
and to resolve to overcome them, to
profit by the mistakes of others and
to meet the crises of life squarely and
unflinchingly.
In a few short hours you will look
upon the Glass of 1908 no longer as
undergraduates but as alumni. Other
classes will come. new faces will ap-
pear, new friendships will be made,
new responsibilities will rise up and
we shall vaguely recall as having once
been a part of this university. But we
ask you to remember that our dearest
wish has been gratified if we have in
any way made ourselves worthy Of
being called Maine men and we remind
YOU in closing that whatever you at
tempt, whatever you desire, whatever
YOU accomplish that also should be
your dearest wish.
It the close of the program the
prizes and honors of the year were

RIVERSIDE JUNIOR
GAMES ON SUNDAY

The Chinese Aloha Juniors walking
over the Perfume kids by the score of
IA to and the Comets defeating the
little Nippons. by the score of to g,
games played at the Aala diamond last
Sunday.
There was an unusual crowd present
and this gave the boys more encourage
ment than ever for a successful season.
President Bernard KelekOlio and Sam
Hop, the treasurer and manager of the
league, were docking after the comfort
of those present
In the first contest the Chinese Alo.
has had no difficulty in winning from
the Sweet Violets. Peterson, who nIO
the slab work for the Perfume team
was not in his usual form and this was
probably the cause of their defeat. Afai
did some good pitching for the Alohas
and is looked upon as coming twirler
in this league.
The second game was the warmest
one ever fought at that field by the
Junior leagues this season. The little
Banzais played a swell game and this
made Manager Chas. Abe sure Of win
ming at least one of the two series.
Trask of the Comets did not find the
plate until close to the end of the game
as he walked II men and struck out
but one This is the worst record eyer
made by any pitcher at that park. It
is only through the good support given
him that his team won.

RETLLY-NELSON GO
MAY BE CALLED OFF

There is little difference on the sub-
ject Of weight between Fred Smith
manager of Reilly, and Jack Seully
manager of Nelson, which may stop the
bout proposed to take place at the
Orpheum on October 3. under the
auspices of the Central Club.
One hundred and twenty eight is the
weight that both managers have agreed
to, but Scully wants that weight made
at the ringside and Smith calls for
weighing in at three 0 clock in the at
ternoOn.
Scully's side Of the question IS that
Nelson boxes best at about twenty
six and that man can easily take on
two or three pounds between three
o clock and ten This, he states, would
give Reilly an advantage of nearly five
pounds. which he does not think is fair
to his man.
Smith, on the other hand, says that
he does not think it wise to have his
man weigh in at that notch at the ring
side and. as neither man seems inclined
to give in. there IS quite a possibility
that the bout will be called off.

contemporary to meet Reilly winner

ball Club viii get his men together this
morning and find out from them if they
are willing TO play. 1t is believed by
those who know the boys well that
they will jump at the opportunity. The
reason that the Palamas have been Sc
lected is that they are the odd man
next Sunday and are not in either of
the scheduled games.
One very interesting feature of the
game would be the chance to make a
comparison between the ability of the
Riverside teams and those in the big
league. 1t must be remembered that
strong All-Oahu team was able to
defeat the visitors by only three to
one last Saturday. 1t is true that
there was a walkover on Sunday, but
the Mooheaus were without the ser
vices of their star twirler. Williams
If the Palamas can down the visitors
it will mean that their class of playing
comes pretty near to big league work.
If, on the otner hand. the Mooheaus
defeat the Palamas easily, there will
be no harm done, as a Riverside team
loses no prestige by a defeat in big
league circles.
II II NClS mot IOI lnlcIl6Flu2 With
the regular Riverside schedule, an All
Riverside team might prove a greater
attraction, but this is impossible, as
the boys are already late with their
series and could not spare the day off
from their own games.
1t is quite possible that single
team like the Palamas would put up
better game than selected aggrega-
ton, as they have been playing to-
gether for some time, and have excel
lent team work, which would be. lack
ing, undoubtedly, in a picked team.
Active measures will be taken today
to consummate this plan if possible,
and it is expected that the whole thing
will be arranged before tonight. The
Mooheaus have decided to stay over
till next Tuesday in any event, and
will also play league team on Sat
urday. Which one is not yet knowE,
although the Punahous have been sug-
gested.
