LONDON TELLS
OF EXPERIENCES

Jack London, writing to friend in
Honolulu, says:
81 left Hilo in the Shark on Octo-
Der last, and made the Marquesas
in just sixty days. This was a little
longer than I had expected but was
due to contrary winds encountered.
After putting to sea we found that the
northeast trades had shifted around to
the southeast and. it was slow work.
The Shark behaved beautifully, how
ever, and no damage whatever was
sustained.
''On the voyage to Hilo we had a
most delightful time, For three weeks
school of bonita followed us and we
could catch them without the least
trouble Upon one occasion when 1000
miles from land landed a big sea
turtle, and as for man-eating sharks,
we caught those, too.
''Our first stop in the South Seas was
at the island of Neukahiva, at the port
of Taiohai After a stay of two weeks
here we proceeded to the Valley of
Typee, made famous by that early wri-
ter of early sea novels, Herman Mel
vile. Later we shaped course for
Papeete, where the Shark is now an
chored awaiting our return.
The writer states that the cruise of
the Shark will be carried out as first
planned and that he will visit in turn
Samoa, the Fiiis, and all the ports of
the Orient. During his absence from
San Francisco London has found time
to do much literary work and will an
nounce his new book shortly.

NORMAL GIRLS
TAKE ANOTHER
High School Team Is Defeated
in League Basketball
Game.

The Normal School girls are as good
as champions of the dual basketball
league composed of the High School
and themselves. BY a II to 6 score
yesterday afternoon on their own
courts, the Normals won the second
lenge called for. AS the Normals won
the first game last Saturday, even
though the Highs should manage to
win next weeks game, they still will
have no show to claim premier honors.
The same girls who did battle last
week faced each other again yester-
day. The Normal courts being in such
an out-of-the-way place, very few.
outside of actual school partisans, wit
messed the game.
Instead of improving on their last
attempt. High School, if anything,
was worse. Fouls without number. due
largely to the girls stepping over their
lines, gave the Normals many of their
points. The free throws given the Highs
for fouls which the Normals made,
failed TO benefit them in the slightest,
but two out of eight succeeding in
landing in the basket.
Normal has the advantage of having
taller girls on her team than those
which plays for the Highs, and in addi-
ton to this, the girls do better team
work than the Highs even dream of
accomplishing. The combination plays
yesterday by the Normal guards elicit
ed much favorable comment. Had the
High School girls been next to them
selves, they would have broken this
up, and thus prevented the score piling
up as it did.
The Normal forwards played star
game Very few of the free throws
which they tried, failed to land at their
destination.
The lineup of the teams follows:
decentralization Wilhelm, Mary
Grote, guards; Belle Meidell, Louise
Fern, centers; Amy Hewai, Hattie Ke-
okou, forwards.
High-Mary Ferreira, Eva Alana, |
guards; Sarah Stone, Bina Neiper, for
wards; Agnes Apo. Hazel Williams !

PUNAHOUS WIN
JUNIOR SOCKER

The socker game on Friday afternoon
at Punahou between the Punahous and
the High School Junior football teams,
resulted in a rather easy victory for
the former, although the game was a
good one. The score was 20.
For the Highs Girdler played star
game at goal, while Webster, Guenoves
and Bond showed up well for the Puns.
The Highs showed a lack of practice
and team work. The hne-ups were:
Puns-Goal, Ballentyne; fullbacks,
Schumann, Rothwen, De Bretteville;
forwards, Guenoves, Webster, Hoogs,
Bond, Wilcox
High School-Goal, Girdler; full
backs, White, Center; halfbacks, Cot

BARNEY SAYS
SHOUT LOUDER

1t is the talk in baseball circles that
Barney Joy was sent contract to sign,
by the Boston Nationals, stipulating
payment of 1925 month
This figure did not appeal to the iron
worker who wrote to the Boston mag
mates that if they wanted him they
must shout bit louder. He is awaiting
an answer to his letter
The Boston s offer is much more than
Joy was paid by the Coast League club
for which he was working and his ac-
quaintances are somewhat surprised
that he did not close with the offer at
once.
A season with the Bostons would give
the big pitcher an insight into the game
that he has never yet had and if he can
make good his fortune is as good as
made
Failing the Bostons there are the
minor California leagues, one of which
may elect to give Barney trial, and
if they don t want him there is always
room in the box of the ST. Louis (Hono-
lulu) club

SCHOENING TELLS
OF AUTO SECRETS

The series of automobile lectures now
being given at the Y NJ c. A. by c. J.
Schoening are meeting with hearty APP
prevail and success,
Mr.. Schoening is taking up the auto
mobile and its power plant in detail in
most practical way, explaining the
engine or power plant, the functioning
of each part, the transmission of the
power to the rear wheels, etc, with
numerous drawings and several working
models together with actual parts taken
from the automobile.
There are cylinders, pistons, earburet-
ers, piston rings, coils and batteries,
switches and timers in the lecture room
for inspection and practice. During
the course of lectures gas engines of
different types win be on exhibition.
Some of these engines will be taken
apart and reassembIed, and then run at
various speeds,
The models shown are certainly the
most interesting ever exhibited as they
explain the details of the gas engine
so clearly that even the layman finds
that he gets a perfect understanding of
the hitherto mysterious internal work
ings of the power plant.
We are informed that this course
of lectures will also embrace the care
of the automobile and automobile tires,
the proper and improper treatment of
tires, and the troubles ON the road and
how to care for them.
Mr.. Schoening IS particularly well
qualified to give this series of lectures,
having been connected with the gas
engine since its birth, and having been
a pupil of DR.. Otto in Germany when
that worthy inventor made his first
practical gas engine, helping him in his
various experiments together with Got
heb Daimler, the father of the high
speed engine. He has followed the con-
struction of gas engines up to the pres
ent time. and later on viii give series
of lectures on the producer gas engine
for stationary and marine work of high
power.
