COURT CLERKS NEW
SYSTEM OF INDEXES

A change in the method of indexine
the papers in the Office of the clerk Of
the courts has been adopted. In tile
past separate index in book form
has been kept of cases at law, in equity,
probate, criminal and divorce proceed
ings. In this way of course The papers
are indexed under each letter chronology
ically, and long list of names nRy
have to be run through before the entry
desired is found.
From now on all papers will be in
dexcd by card index system of the
most approved kind. In this way
more complete index and one more
readily available can be kept. 1t will
not be attempted to carry the card iu
dex back, but the book indexes of
papers filed in the past will be printed
and bound in convenient form, so that
they may be used instead of the great
big manuscript indexes, and so the wear
and tear on the latter will be saved
and the necessity of recopying them
'at intervals avoided These will be
used less and less as the years go on,
while the current index, which will be
kept according TO a card system, viii
be more and more important.

bat and on the field Now the Dia-
mond Heads, to whom the cup has been
awarded, played in but four games,
which was not taken into considera-
tion, for those -four games they hit
.225, fielded $50, and stole 16 bases,
while Santa Clara for nine games hit
We were second in everything, and as
every spectator knows played the best
all-round ball up to date.
If we had been playing for grand
average, we would have played an en-
tirely different game. We would have
refrained from taking chances on the
bags.
To show that the figuring of stolen
bases in grand average is unjust, sup
pose team hitting and fielding at a
fair clip wish to fatten their average
by base-stealing. The captain may, for
instance, tell a fast man like En- Sue to
steal second. He does this, his team
having 100 per cent. in base-stealing
The captain then instructs the team
not to attempt another steal the rest
of the series because they have 100
per cent already. 1t would be fool
hardy to risk their average by attempt
ing another steal.
We are not soreheads, nor does the
keen edge of defeat rankle in our
breasts. We will doff our hats to the
team or teams that trim us, but we sin
cerely think that this cup was awarded
to the wrong team, all points considered
/ number of games played, class of ball
and team ability. However, We have
some consolation in the thought that
although we do not actually possess the
cup, we played the better all-round ball
and as a team are far superior to the
nine that carried off the trophy. This
we have proven.
| Aside from the above incident, the
series has been real delight, appealing
to the warm blood and love of honest
and clean competition.
| There is no sport which has greater
moral value to the people existing, as
it supplies a clean, wholesome means OF
working off surplus exuherance of spirit
and feeds the growing demand for
thrills and excitement normal to healthy
minds and bodies; it inspires admira
tion for brains and skill of high de
gree. where nerve, quick perception>and
steadiness conspire with alertness, pluck
and daring.

After breakfast he takes rest and
then goes down to the boat house where
Pete gives him the order for the day.
Abdominal muscles are first attended to
and the Doctor lies on the floor and
raises Ms body and limbs alternately
while Pete stands over him with a
watch and times each movement care
fully.
The quadruceps and biceps of the
legs are next worked out by series
of runs up and down the stairs. This
not only loosens and develops the leg
muscles but also improves the wind and

After that the arm, chest and back
muscles are all visited and then the
Doctor does things with his neck. He
stands erect with his chin held fairly
high and his neck has the appearance
of sturdy pedestal Then he grits his
teeth and lines of tendon spring out
from chin to chest. Gradually his chin
descends with tremendous effort as
though rope held his head back and
the lines broaden and deepen until the
chin touches the chest. Up again goes
his chin until his head is bent far back,
still with the same concentrated effort
and the nape swells and bulges with
the contraction of the great muscles
beneath.
"'The neck is one of the most vulner.
able parts of man in wrestling, '>says
DR.. Roller, "and should be thoroughly
exercised and developed. 1 learned this

After the exercising he goes in for
a short swim and then sits round in the
sunshine allowing the salt water to dry
on him thus hardening his skin by what
he calls "the, open air pickling
process. -
Summed up, the method winch DIR.
Roller is following is to develop the
muscles by slow exercises combined
with mental concentration, to loosen
them by extended movements of the
limbs and to give Them nourishment for
development by sensible diet. Plenty
of fruit and plenty of meat, especially
ham, is what Pete recommends and no
restriction except that pastry is to be
avoided. "Let a man eat what he
fancies,' says the trainer, "and, if he

Baseball in Honolulu

In response to request of the sport

article giving our opinion of baseball
in Honolulu, the following is written:

Baseball is the subject, but then, the
above was the outcome of the main
issue.
Although we have lost but one game
mp to date, we appreciate the fact that
our opponents were dangerous at all
times and played the game as we'll as
any of our Coast colleges-that is. as
individuals. We had to fight all the
way to win, the result being doubtful
at all times-before the final tap. As
stated, the individual play of the is.

players possessing the essence of big
league caliber, but the team play seem

said: "The player who fails to hustle
is not the proper timber for winning

that has gathered the hustlers, men who

EASTERN TENNIS
CHAMPIONSHIP

b. C. Wright of Boston and r. d.
Little of New York won the champion
ship 'of the east in tennis doubles on
August /, ON the courts of the Long
wood Cricket Club, defeating w. A.
Larned of Annapolis and G. l.. Wrenn
of New York in fve-set match, 6-1,
40, 40, Go, rs. This entitled
Wright and Little to play the cham
pions of the west and south for the
right to challenge Alexander and Hack
EFT, present national title holders, at
Newport, by whom they were defeated
on Tuesday last.
Larned and Wrenn came within two
points of winning the match, for the
score before the last set stood five
games to three in their favor, and they
needed but two points to give them the
next game and the match. But Wright
and Little rallied and won the next
four games and the match. The last
two were love games.
Both teams lobbed continually. One
man on each side bore the brunt of the
attack, Little for his side aud Wrenn
for his. Very few points were won OF
lost, because the lobs failed to land
within the courts. Both pairs waited
for the openings and then made the
most of them.
Every once in a while Wright or Lar
ned would break into the lobbing due
between Wrenn and Little and usually
for a kill. Both of the former two play
ers were particularly deadly overhead
some of their volleys from back of the
service line being nothing short OF
marvellous for their speed and accuracy
After Wright and Little had pulled
the match out of the fire with the odds
very much against them, they wer,

WHAT LIBRARY
PATRONS READ

The following is a summary of the
report of Miss Allyn, the librarian of
the Honolulu Library for the montk
of July. While by far the largest
number of books circulated were fiction
as is the ease in all circulating libra
ries, the report shows that no depart.
ment of literature or human knouL
edge is entirely neglected. Even
philology interests the community u
the visible extent of requiring the use
of two books in month, and religion
interests four and a half times as manE,
nine books on that subject having been
taken out. Philosophy interested b.
the extent of fifteen books, and the fpt
arts interested more than the usefm
arts as is shown by the circulation Of
twenty-three books on the former and
only twenty-five on the latter, tribute
to the influence of the Kilohana Art
League.
The following is the summary of the
report:
Books issued for month, 1900; books
issued for corresponding month in 1907,
1855; increase, 45; largest day, lie;
smallest day, 40; average daily issue,

KEIO PLAYERS
BREAK EVEN

The little Keios have been doing
things over on the Island of Hawaii.
They have played two games and won
one of them, losing the second game
to the Mooheaus by the close margin
of 3, to 2.
Reports from Hilo state that the
japanese visitors drew large crowds
and that the bleachers were crowded
to overlooking at both games.
Koyama, the timely >singler, pitched
the first game, and Fukuda caught for
him. In the second game Higo took
his accustomed place behind the bat
while Fukuda twirled.

games was:

GUESSING CONTEST
FOR AUTOMOBILES

The novelty of the idea comes in the
endurance run part of it. Endurance
is really misnomer for it will be more
of guessing contest than an endur-
ance run. There will be no time limit,
no docking of points for stops and
competitors may monkey with their en-
gines as much as they like and it will
not affect their chances of winning the
endurance prize.
The suggested course is round the Is
land with stop at Haleiwa for lunch.
That will divide the run into three
periods. One for the ride from Ho-
nolulu to Haleiwa over the Pail, an,
other for lunch and the last for the
return home round the other side of
the Island.
new suggestion is out in automo-
bile circles and it looks like good
one. There has been nothing doing in
the buzz wagon line for some time and
some of the local dealers as well as
prominent motorists think it would be
good thing to start little interest
of novel character.
The latest proposition comes from ii.
+. Murray of the Associated Garage.
Mr. Murray's brain was so enlivened
by his witty passage at arms with Bar
ney Joy last Sunday that he went home
and evolved a scheme for a composite
endurance run, sealed bonnet contest
and general good time.
Before the start a special committee
will decide among themselves as to the
time which should be taken to cover
the distance from Honolulu to HaleiYa,
how much time should be allowed for
lunch and how long the competitors
should take to make the return home.
These times will be placed in sealed
envelope which will not be opened until
after the finish of all the ears.
The time Of each driver will be taken
on arriving at Haleiwa, on leaving Ha
leiwa and on arriving in Honolulu. The
car that has made the nearest aggregate
time to that set down by the committee
will win the cup.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1908-08-21

In addition to this contest all those
who want to do so may have their
bonnets sealed and there will be spe'
cial prize for the winner. just how
to figure out the winner it is hard to
say but this may be easily arranged
by the committee. An enthusiastic au.
toist who was present when Mr.. Murray
was talking to an Advertiser reporter,
suggested that the car that takes last
place in the guessing contest and ar.
riyes with an unbroken seal should take
the prize. This is good suggestion
and there are several more that may be
made by those who know about these
things.
The great beauty of competition
of this kind is that everybody has n
good chance to win, no matter what
the size, horsepower or gasoline con
sumption of his ear. There is abso.
lutely no possibility of agent advertis.
