OakIands RoHUp Big
Bunch of Errors

LOS ANGELES. April s.-A nasty
sandstorm, hard and yet freaky hits
by Los Angeles. and q spectacular col
lection of awful errors by Oakland,
were the strange features of the fourth
game of the season that was won to-
day by Los Angeles by IL to 2 score.
The locals have not been treated to
such a hilarious joke for years, and IN
addition to the fearful game the 500
spectators were struck by htful gusts
of wind and showers of dust all the
afternoon.
Sixteen swats for the locals and nine
errors for Oakland give a finger nail
history of the agony. but the score
does not begin to tell the truth.
Carnes was the first Oakland pitcher.
and he stayed an inning and half
before Van Haltren tossed him out.
In the first inning he walked one man
next he passed two and had two WOODY
errors before Van Haltren arrived on
the run from the back yard and put in
Mcfarland to pitch. He was hit for
all kinds of swats, and when he wasn't

Unpopular Starter Is Likelp TO
Lose His Job at the Santa
Anita Track

1t is reported on reliable authority
that Jake Hoffman. who has alternated
with Richard Dwyer as starter at
Emeryyille and Arcadia during the
present season, is in danger of not
being reappointed by the management
OF the Santa Anita track next fall It
is represented that the feeling against
Hoffman is even stronger in southern
California than among local patrons
of racing, and it is said that the Ar
cadia management is inclined to dis
pense with Holtman's services In defer
ence TO public sentiment 1t is an open
secret that there was a disposition
among the promoters of the Arcadia
racing enterprise to give Hoffman the
cold shoulder last fall. but it was
finally decided to employ him out of
consideration for T. H. Williams. who
had engaged him to alternate with
Dwyer at Emeryville.
Whether or not Williams Will stick
to Hoffman, in spite Of the unsatisfac-
tory service he has been giving at
Emeryville, remains to be seen. Holt

LANDLESS MANS PROTEST
AGAINST KNUDSEN SALE

the Hawaiian Fibre Company was
abandoning sisal on similar lands on
the Island of Oahu, and believing that
the Mana lands are good cocoanut
lands, inquired of the Land Office to
know whether or not the conditions
could be made to read either cocoa
nut or sisal.' The gist of the reply
received was that the government had
practically bound itself to put up the
lands on the sisal condition alone. and
that the Knudsens would not surren-
der the lands in question: if the CO.
icoanut condition was allowed
In one of the recent issues of your
paper the plea was made for the
Knudsens that they had lived on the
island for two generations and want
to acquire some freehold, otherwise
they would leave the country" Now,
sir, the Knudsens have during the
two generations they have lived on
the island held by lease a block Of
land on which they renewed the lease
in 1890 and which is described in a
list of public lands published in 1905
as follows: Area leased to V. Knud-
sen. 10000 acres, from June /, 1890, to
June l, 1920. Annual rent $4,000 The
Knudsens also own in Koloa large
block of land which they lease to the
Koloa Sugar Co., so that it looks as
though they already have in their
possession a good slice of the island,
but want to get more, While there are
a number of citizens on the island in
the condition referred to by the Gov
ernor in his report. and many of whom
have lived here just as long as the
Knudsens have, but are still home
less employees
Now, Mr.. Editor, there is an old
saying that the "landless man is the
unfree man." Otherwise I would ask
the citizens of Kauai to sign a pro-
test to the Governor asking that the
sale of these lands be postponed. and
the conditions altered so as to make it
square deal.
