Sullivan is booking famously fit and
should be able to make the distance in
even less time than he did last Sun
day, when he was put to his utmost
during three parts of the distance by
Antoine Kaoo.
One more entry has come in for the
veterans race in the name of Jack
Campbell of the Honolulu Iron Works.
Mr.. Campbell is said to be a very live
ly man for his age and able to step
il with the youngsters. His entry
makes it more than ever impossible
to pick winner for the old boys
No less than three entries for the
heavyweight race were proffered yes
terday, but they all had to be refused
because the entrants weighed less than
the stipulated minimum of 210 pounds.
There is a tremendous amount of in
terest being taken round town in the
event, so much so that the baseball
magnates have talked seriously of
postponing the first of the Diamond
Head,jap series. Whether this will be
done or not is not yet known. It
seems hardly necessary, however, as
those who wish to see both the finish
of the race and the baseball game will
have plenty of time to get down TO the
Athletic Park after the race is over.

HIGH HOPES To
BEAT THE MALES

The soccer games for tomorrow will
be: Males VS.. High School, at two
o clock, and Punahou VS.. Iron Works.
at 3:15 clock. Secretaries of teams
are particularly requested to send in
list of players, who will appear on Sat
urday, to the league secretary, so that
the same may be published in t0mor
row mornings paper.
The management promises punctual
start of the game tomorrow. The first
game was a trife late last Saturday,
and this should not be tolerated, as
the public is asked to be there at two
and the players should make an effort
to be there, too. If all the players
can not get there on time, they should
start the game with what players are
there and let the others come on later.
Such an action taken by the league
management would not have to be re
peated. The players would get out
there
The first game tomorrow looks like
a. very exciting affair 1t is true that
the Highs were defeated by the Puns.
mt by a very close margin, and by
what one might easily can a fluke.
Their forward work was wonderfully
steady up to a certain point, and there
is every reason to believe that this
point will be passed tomorrow, after
the practise they have had during the
week.
While the Males have a team that
may shape into championship form be-
fore the series is over, they did not
show quite as much class in the first
game this year as they did at the be
ginning of the series last year. They
have a superb defense, but the Highs
are also good in this department. and
nobody can say that they will not drop
the Males one notch in their climb for
the championship.
The second game should also prove
as interesting as the High-Punahou
game Of last Saturday. The Iron
Works team showed remarkably good
form, and if they have learned not to
bunch up and not to pass the ball be
yond their forwards, they should be
able to dc something good

Both Teams Working Hard to Insure Victory
Pete Baron Determined to See
Jewels Win.

There has been a movement started
to postpone the first of the great Jap
Sparkler baseball games from next Sun
day until the following week, on ae-
count of the Kalakaua avenue walking
race. Nothing was decided yesterday
and, if the magnates finally decide to
postpone, the announcement will be
made in tomorrow morning s paper.
But the players are not worrying
about whether the games are to be post
poned a week or not. Every afternoon
the Japs are out for hard workout

Motley is there every time to watch

TENNIS FINALS
FOR WALL CUP

The finals in the Wall cup series will
start promptly at half-past three on the
Beretania courts this afternoon. A. L.
Castle will pay Captain Low of the
Z. 5. NJ c.. and the match should be
a very close and exciting one to watch.
Castle held the championship of Ha-
wall last year and well deserved to
win the tite, for his playing was
great exhibition of steadiness and nerve
and he always came up at the end
with a strong finish.
Captain Low has proved himself
very finished racquet wielder and he
has a good chance of winning out fin

The winner of today's match will
meet f. S. Gee present champion, at

win it only once more to obtain full
possession.

individual player and what he is capa-
bic of doing, is far more extraordinary.
A Japanese Expert.
A prominent local fan came up to
the office yesterday to tell of talk
he had with his japanese yard boy
about the games. With quiet dignity
this little Jap Grated about all the
players in both teams, picked them all
to pieces, reconstructed them and then
showed why he believed that the Japs
would win the first game.
1T was the most scientific piece of
baseball tanning that I have ever list
ened to- said the fan. "IIe had me
buffaloed all right, especially when he
wound up by saying that 'All Japa-
nese hope Jack Doyle be there make

Pete Baron Is There.
The Jewels are none too confident
that they have an easy thing before
them. This is clearly shown by the way
they are working. Every one of them
gets out to practise in the afternoon
and are going through a great course
of sprouts.

WORKING HARD
FOR FINAL RACE

All the walkers who qualified for the
final race next Sunday are out getting
in good condition to make the squirt
of their lives for the championship
cup. Ayres and Kaoo are training to-
gether, with David Kahana to make
pace for them in the spurts.
Ayres is certainly in excellent shape
and may well surprise everybody next
Sunday. He has trained for this event
harder and more conscientiously than
he ever trained before, and Dick Sui
Ivan will have to make fast time to
get there ahead of him.
Dick is not Understanding the task
that he has before him. He is down
at the Healani boat club every morn
ing, working out on the road, and has
a corps of expert ruhbers to thorough

all know just what they have to do
when they get the signal; and there
will be no such thing as a man trying
to get from second to third base when
he should have stayed where he was.
Bert Bower to Umpire.
The question of an umpire has been
definitely settled Bert Bower has
promised to act and this decision is
one that will please every fan in town.
Bert has proved himself the nonpareil
of umpires here. Last year somebody
kicked about one of his decisions. which
was proved to be perfectly correct, and
so much of dust was raised that Bert
retired.
Then the fans were treated to an
interregnum of the fercest umpirinc
that was ever seen here. ANY old snort
was put out in the field TO umpire and
each retired after the game with
shake of the head and a violent VOW
never ''to do it no more.'
They Begged Him to Return.
Finally even those who had been the
hardest kickers against Bers's decision
went on their knees and prayed him
to come backs Bert came back and
there never was such an ovation ac-
corded an umpire in this Territory
as when Bert walked on the diamond
with the indicator He IS the right
man for the place and all the real
spoTtsmen will be pleased that he has
consented to act.
Down beyond the river where most
of the japanese and Chinese people live,
hardly anything else is talked about
but the big series. The knowledge of
the game 1hat the local orientaIs have
picked up is wonderful enough hut the
expert knowledge they have Of each

RACES AT BROUSSARD.

The races at BrOussard Sunday af.
ternoon were the most interesting and
successful witnessed in this parish for
many years and attracted large num-
bers of people from New Iberia. St.
Martinville, Breaux Bride, Lafayette
and other towns. Many ladies were
present and dancing added to the oc-
casion, music furnished by Broussard
Brass Band.
The track under the careful super
vision of the proprietor, Mr.. Carlos
Broussard, was in prime condition and
the weather ideal
The first race was between Mamie

New iberia, best three in five heats,
Mamie broke in first heat, allowing
Belle to win. Mamie won second heat
by close margin, doing better on third
and fourth, which gave her the race.
The second was a running race be-
tween May of Broussard and Cine Sous

easily won by May, the purse being
$25. A pacing race, best three in
five, was run by Maggie, entered by

FARMERS MEET !,
BERTRAND SCHOOL.
Discussions, French and English, on
Boil Weevi and Cultivation of
Corn and Cotton.
PEAPOD WEEVIl TAKEN FOR
THE BOIL WEEVlL.
Advice Given as to CuItivating Cotton
and Corn. Peapod WeevI Does
Not Hurt Cotton.

On request, meeting was held a
Bertrand School Sunday, May 2, a
2:30 p. m, in which twenty-five farm
ers participated. The discussions wer,
in French and the subjects covered
were cotton, boil weevil and cultiva
ton of both cotton and corn.
Some insects were brought to the
meeting which were pea pod weevils
mistaken generally by farmers, espec
tally the first year, for the SO greatly
feared cotton weevil. and causing a
scare at present. Some real weevils
were found, but in very small numbers
and we ought not to be surprised; we
will find some every year in April and
May.
The majority of these weevils will
die before cotton begins to square.
The weevils do not prevent the growth
of cotton at any stage, do not kill
young cotton, and such notions ought
not to be entertained. Flowing up the
cotton entirely to put corn would be
as wrong as planting more cotton than
you can take care of. Extremes are
bad. Work the cotton with light i'm
plements as often as possible; cross
narrowing before trimming out, is the
best thing that can be done in dry
weather, followed by a light cultiva-
tion of rows to bring some dirt to
plants again. A scare at this time is
the worst thing that could happen A
favorable season will bring fair aver
age crop if the farmers have conf
dence in themselves, which they ought
to have.
On the corn subject, Field Agent
L. E. Perrin stated that the average
cultivation up to the laying-by time
was generally good, and more so this
year, but added that fully so per cent
Of the crop was damaged by the mis-
named process. Laying-by ought to be
the putting up of the plow under shell
ter, and the use of lighter implements,
after corn has attained a heigth of
.hree feet, thorough cultivation in
Guiding the planting of peas and open
ng deep of middles. But this work,
De it done with plow or not, ought to
De followed by a good narrowing, and
he same operation ought to be re-
,eated about ten days after peas are
lp, but very light, so as to keep the
mulch in good acting condition until

A large acreage of corn has been |
'lanted, and is in very good shape. |
t would be pity to see such a crop
'utchered when it is two-thirds made.
Corn and cotton seed selection was
4lso brought up and the farmers
greed to use their best knowledge in
this years crop, so as to
ave even a better start next sea-
on.
They also agreed to join the Lafa-
cite Farmers Club, with the under
tanding that French as we'll as En-
