Runners have also found 1t impos-
sible to break fiat-footed from third
on an infield throw from short to first
and score. That is, the two throws
would beat him. No ball team, as far
rs Is shown, has ever figured out ma
dramatically just how much of STRAIT
such a runner would need on such a
play to enable him to stand an even
break of scoring on two such throws.
And yet It is play that comes up Of
ten in close big-league games. 1t Is
believed by some that the runner on
third might get as big a start as the
runner on first who tries to steal and
gets away with It on two throws from
the pitcher to the catcher and back
again to the second baseman. The
differences here Is that the pitcher
winds more than an infelder would
with his throw. which is short-armed,

be in the nature of exhibiting to the
Fleet those things for which Hawaii
dances and luaus. Mr.. Phelan stat
ed that If we eliminated those fea-
lures from the program that univer-
sal disappointment would bel felt,
and said ii would be very serious
mistake.
The Fleet has been entertained by
number of the Coast cities and eX-
perience has taught that the most
popular and taking feature of enter
tainment has been the establishment
OF large playground for the sailors,
where they can congregate by them
selves and play ball, billiards, cards,
and do whatever they wish, as the
Mayor said that Jack ashore wants
to have place of his own, unhapl-
pered by committees, badges, or red
tape. do not know whether it

The above telegram was received
by the Blu letin this morning,
and investigations Immediately fol-
lowing disclosed the fact that the
sale had been protested by the Fer
nandez Settlement Association when
1t was first advertised. On account
of the fact that Governor Frear and
Land Commissioner Pratt had just
left for the Coast. Attorney General
Hemenway, to whom the matter had
been referred, replied that he could
give no complete or definite infor-
nation.
Considerable correspondence pass
ed between his Office and the Asso-
citation, but there was nothing def
mite decided about the proposition at
the time. Fernandez wants the land
under the settlement association
plan, and 1t seems that he made APP
was ever advertised for sale under q
general lease. lie was, however,
turned down by Governor Frear AMI
Land Commissioner Pratt.
So far as the sale is concerned, At
torney General Hemenway states
that he has received no papers as yet
from Hilo, and the sale will take
place Monday unless 1t is enjoined.
Again, 1t seems there is no reason
why the sale should not go on. I'm
der the terms of the new land-lease
law, the Government could take the
lands back again from the man who
made the highest bid. At any rate,
the man who put in n successful bid,
could not secure his lease until the
return of Pratt, who must be here to
sign the papers.
The land in question is composed
of sos acres, 800 of which is suit
able for agricultural purposes, the
remaining being pastoral and waste
land. The upset rental asked by the
Government in the advertised sale Is
$1652. per year, payable semi-annual
ly in advance, the term of lease Is
eight years from October /, 1908.

THE FLEET ON THE COAST.

Out there in California
They are paving up the soil.
They are letting go Of business
And neglecting of their toll.
They're forgetting their religion
In the house aud on the street,
And likewise too their politics.
They're dotty on the nCct.
They are loading up the iackies
With cargo of pink teas.
They are crowding them with welcome
As the heroes of the seas
They've taken off the lid of things
And made the whole coast free
For every tarry visitor
Who came to them by sea.
They have set the valiant officers
On pinnacles of fame,
They've filed their veins with native
blood
Which gets there just the same:
They have given them the climate
In its glory and Its bloom,
With an affidavit showing
II will drive away all gloom.
They swim out in the briny deep
BY either day or night
To meet the coming warships
Before they get in sight:
They flock around the anchored stec
Like fish around the bait,
And shout their joy along the coast
Up to the Golden Gate.
Oh, say,
Out California way,
When they do things
They do EN- on wings.
It's the boast
or the coast
That nowhere else on earth is found
The California greet,
And now they're handing out their

Harsch has defeated Reynolds the sam
number OF games and Reynolds has de-
feated Swanson likewise, which Is an in
dieation how even the boys are matched.
But Reynolds says that he is going to
beat his hoodOo tonight by winning from
Harsch for the first time.

game. making the hignest run OF the tour

DEADLOCK OVER A CAPTAIN
cOrnhusker Foot Ball Men Take Six
Ballots to No Avail.
ONE MORE CHANCE IN JANUARY
In Case Players Fail 60 Agree ut that
Time Athletic Board VIII Pro-
reed 60 select Next Years
Leader.

LINCOLN, Dec. B-CSpeciaL)-No cap
tain for the 1909 foot ball eleven has been
chosen yet. At the annual election held in
the University armory before the athletic
board this afternoon the fourteen letter
men Of last seasons team tied their votes
for Collins and Frum, the two leading can
didates. Six ballots were cast and on
each Of these seven votes went for each
OF the two candidates. An effort was
made to break the deadlock before the
last ballot by effecting a compromise be-
tween the two candidates, but this failed
and the athletic board decided to hold an
other meeting on January 6 for the cleo
ton. At that time the fourteen "N'' men
viii be allowed to cast but one ballot. II
there Is no selection OF a leader on that
ballot the election Of a captain for 1909
will be made by the athletic board.
William C~haloupka and Ernest Kroger
were the only two letter men who were alb
sent from the meeting today. They had
proxies present. however. and their votes
were cast for Frum on all of the ballots.
The failure Of either Collins or Frum to
get the ca~ptaincy today undoubtedly will
result In the deadlock being broken in
caucus before January 5 and in the cleo
ton OF some other player than either
Frum or Collins. 1t is believed that the
tie today win throw the captaincy to either
Louis Harte or Buck" Better.
Harte has been a supporter Of Collins in
the campaign for the captaincy nd. It is
said. will now expect Collins to throw his
support to him. 1t is said Harte can prob
ably get one Of Frum's votes and this will
give him eight, or a majority.
The followers OF Frum declare, however,
that none Of Collins supporters will be
the final choice. They say thai IL Frum
cannot be elected that they will unite on
Beltzer and try to get a vote away from
the followers of Collins in order to get a
majority.
Board May Make Choice.
II the team Is to elect its own captain,
though. some deal viii have to be fixed
up before the meeting Of the athletic board
on January 5, for the letter men will be
given but a single ballot on that day,
and then II there is no choice the athletic
board will assume the duty Of making the
selection.
The faculty Members Of the athletic
board are disguised with the delay which
has attended the election of next years
captain. and 1t was only with great re-
luctance that they allowed the election to
be postponed until after the holidays. They
believed the selection of a leader should
have been made this afternoon. and that II
the men could not agree on a candidate or
the first two ballots that they should have
cast their votes for some other player
than either Collins or Frum. The only
reason the board allowed the matter tc
