feet were found to have been crushed.
1t was necessary to amputate one foot
and to amputate three toes on the
other foot. He is reported to be in a
critical condition. Eagen was said to
have been lying on the track when the
train ran over him. Whether he was
sleeping there with the rails as foot
rest, or whether he had been affected
by the heat and fallen exhausted is
not known.

FIRST WREN RACE
SAILED TODAY
Four of Tom Days Pets to Race
Over the Harbor Course
This. Morning.

For the first time since sea wrens
began to make their appearance in
Honolulu there will be arace for wrens
only today. The race will start from
the Myrtle Boat Club at half-past ten,
promptly. The race is under the
auspices of the Hawaii Yacht Club and
the regular regatta committee will act
as starters and judges.
The course viii be across the usual
starting line to the spar buoy, leaving
to port, thence to the bell buoy, leav-
ing to starboard, to the spar buoy, to
the quarantine dolphin, leaving to star
hoadr, to the makai marine dolphin,
leaving to starboard, out to the bell
buoy again and back across the start
ing line in an opposite direction to the
start.
In running before the wind, boats
must keep in the channel and, in beat
ing to windward, must not go outside
the channel far enough on any tack
so that they leave an approaching mark
to leeward.
There will be four wrens in the race.
Commodore Wilder's boat as yet I'M
named, Dancing Sally, Roaring Gimlet
and Galloping Mary. They have all
been fixed up for the race. Especially
the Mary of Looping proclivities who
has been hauled out and thoroughly
pot-leaded all over.
Light Wind Probable.
The chances for good breeze are
| not anything to dream about at the
| time of writing. 1t looks very much
like a light southerly breeze, although
there is always a possibility of the
trade winds waking up and blowing
their best for a change
With four little craft, each exactly
/ the same in dimensions and sail area
and practically the same in ballast
there should be most interesting race.
! Unless the wind is as fiuky as it was
two Sundays ago, there is no doubt
that the most skilful skipper will win
the race. There is every chance of a
repetition of the Koloa-Ivy match race
in which both boats came over the line
with only a difference of inches be
tween them.
Mixed Racer Later.
| In the afternoon there will be a race
under the auspices of the Honolulu
Yacht Club. In this event Pearls and
| wrens will mix and it will be interest
ing to see whether skipper Stone car
repeat his recent performance of tool
ing past the Pearl in going to wind
ward.
1t will be one of the greatest day.,
sport ever seen on the harbor in the
sailing line and the enthusiasts viii
be nut IN plenty to watch the race.

successful bidder, the price he paid be-
ing $3.50.

WILL THE JAPS
be CHAMP |ONS?!
This Question to Be Settled at
the Athletic Park
Today.

VIII this be the last day of the pres
ent Oahu league series? That is the
question that is agitating the minds
of the fans If, by any chance. the
Japs should lose TO the Beers this ar
ernoon in the first game at the Athletic
Park. and if the Marines should slip it
TO the Dragonlets, then there will have
to be one more days play.
Nobody can say whether this con.
catenation of circumstances will come
around or not. Up to the present time
the Beers have shown very little of
their great form they had with them
during the first part of the first Sc
ries. They lack George Clark. Shep-
hard and some other good ones, and have
not been doing very we'll
But there is no reason why thew
should not take a bunch 10 themselves
today and slip something TO the Japs,
If they do, then the Marines will 90
into the second game with great vigor
in order TO make their chance at tho
championship more certain than ever.
The Japs will have their usual dou-
BILE INTERNATIONALLY and Jack Flores
and Whoopee" and Brito at the re-
eeiving end. That is a hard combina-
ton TO beat.
Beers May Spring Surprise.
The Beers have already sprung a
surprise or two on the fans. They won
one game in great style with a team
that, on paper, looked like joke. But
they managed to swat the bah all
over the field and came out on the
long end with large grins on their
faces
1t is hard to make any forecast of
the second game. Judging by the game
that the Dragonlets put up against ths
.Japs last Sunday, they should be able
to do something with the giddv Half
vets. Cheeky was not playing foot
ball yesterday. He was not even run.
nlng at the track meet. He took a.
rest and looked on with a wide smile
on his face. He should be able to do
great work with the big mitt today.
Hate to Loose Too Early.
In spite of the big lead that the
Japs nave IN the series, there is plenty
OF excitement over today s games. Per-
maps most of the fans hope the Japs
VIII win SO that the great St. Louis-
Jap series can be started all the
sooner.
But both games will be fought out
Tor all they are worth. Gong down to
an ignominious defeat before the end
OF series, is not to the liking of anv
OF the teams, and both the Beers and
Marines may be depended on to do
what they can, with the Dragonlets
working their heads off to keen the
Marnes from getting a paw on the
championship.

KAL UHIM0KU I'M
TWO ACCIDENTS
Continued From rage one.)

continued From rage One1
A hurry-up call was sent in for the
patrol wagon, and It was driven as rap
Idly as possible to the scene of the
accident. The wounded man was placed
IN the wagon on stretcher and the
wagon started for the hospital going
up Punchbowl street. The horses were
being driven at gallop, the driver
sounding his gong to clear the wav.
As the wagon approached Beretania
avenue, Punahou ear Is was coming in.
Punchbowl street at this point is a
dangerous place, on account of its mar
rowness and the impossibilitv of the
drivers of vehicles on Beretania and
Punchbowl street seeing one another.
In this case. according to the state
ments of the officers who were on the
wagon, the driver was ringing his own
gong and consequently could not hear
the street car bell. Just as he deboucb-
ed onto Beretania avenue. he saw the
ear and attempted TO avoid a collision
by swinging the wagon around in the
direction the street car was travelling.
But 1t was too late. The ear struck
the wagon and the off horse, old Harry.
The wounded man was hurled to the
floor of the wagon. while the horses leg
was broken in several places. It was
necessary to shoot the poor beast later.

so long has been driven to the police

good deal of affection for the faithful
old horse. Harry's mate. Pat. was also

driver, was thrown 0ut'of his seat and

BASEBALL BINGLES
By The Old Fan. -

The J. A. Cs made it almost cinch
for the championship of the Oahu
league by winning last Sundays game
from the Dragonlets. The Japs have
played racehorse ball all through the
series, having won all their games
through superior team work. That
clever captain, manager and clean
sportsman, Jack Motley, can not be
given too much credit for the efficient
manner in which he has whipped his
team into championship form. The ge-
NAL Jack is always on the coaching
lines, encouraging his players and at
the same time seeking out the weak
spots in his opponents lineup. Here s
to you. Jack. old boy. If all the man
ayers worked as hard in the interest
of the game as Motley does. the public
would get better run for their money.
The Drags made a hard fight to stop
the Japs in their flight pennantward,
but their efforts were in vain.
En- Sue, at second, put up his usual
star game. making several spectacular
stops of drives that looked like sure
safe ones. But at the bat the King of
Spain sure had him punching the at
mosphere.
Sing Chong, the hustling little cap
tain of the Drags, by his clever base
running brought home the only two
runs that crossed the plate.
The Draps were badly handicapped
by the absence of Che Bui, behind the
bat. The old boy has been making bad
tackles in football and from his Grip

Hawaiian Islands, as she holds the
title for one year, and whatever games
in special tournaments or otherwise
that she loses does not affect her right
to the title, until the next regular
championship series.
The spectators were treated to as
classy tennis as has ever been wit
messed on the Beretania s excellent
courts. The clubhouse veranda and
lawns were crowded, while autos lined
the curbs on both streets. At the con-
clusion of the first game, Mr.. Edwin
Gee, the tennis champion of the Is
lands, presented Mrs. Coulter with a
trophy of the occasion, and to Miss
Hall presented a box of American
Beauty roses, making a presentation
speech in each instance.
In the doubles following, Mrs CouI-
ter and Mr.. Gee opposed Miss Hall AMI
F. E. Steere. The latter were defeated
in two straight sets, O., 6-3. In
this game the women were prominent
in all the plays, and it seemed that
the duty of doing much of the skillful
returns devolved upon them. Both the
gentlemen, however, played a good
game.
