The Mid -Pacifics defeated the East
Maui team in a fast game of ball at
Lahaina last Saturday. The score was
u to and was won mostly on earned
runs Tomorrow the East Mauinese
have to go up against the crack David

like they did against the Lahainalunas
it will be goodnight for the Maui kids.

TICKETS ON
SALE TOMORROW
Limited Number Only Can Be
Carried on Committee
Special.

Since the announcement that there
will be special train to Haleiwa on
the day of Marathon race, Yesterday
morning, A. k Nierra has been mum
dated with orders for tickets. These
will not be printed and ready for sale
until tomorrow morning when they win
be obtainable at the King street store
of Wall, Nichols company from Mr.
\lerra. Only a limited number of these
can be sold and those who figure on
taking advantage of this exceptional
opportunity, should make sure of buy
ing early so that they may be sure of
a place on the train.
Judging by the interest that is be-
ing taken in the race there will be a
very big bunch want to go on the train
and see the finish. The train will take
not more than two hours to make the
run as there will be no stops and will
be at Haleiwa well in advance OF the
winning contestant.
The special will leave the depot as
soon after the race starts as possible.
The exact time has not yet been set
but it will be not later than nine
O'Clock. 1t is possible that tickets will
be on sale at the depot prior to the
start of the race, but it is expected
that all of them will be gone before
that time and. in order to make sure
of getting on the train, it is advisable
to secure the necessary piece of paste
board several days in advance.
Start Arranged.
All arrangements for a good start
have been made. The bandstand will
be reserved for members of the Legls-
lature and the Supervisors, whence a
fine view of the starters and the crowd
will be obtainable. From Aala park
the runners will start out along King
street where a squad of mounted police
will keep the crowd back so that the
starters are not interfered with.
The bicycle race will start first at
half past seven and five minutes later
the runners will follow them. Automo-
biles and rigs will be kept back as far
as possible until the runners are well
away and then as the runners take their
positions, each conveyance carrying
friends of any particular contestant
will have a chance to fall in behind
him and follow him over the course.
No offers of prizes have come in late
" so the committee has decided tc
make a canvass of the merchants. This
will be done by mail and each possible
donor will be sent a form with stamped
addressed envelope by which he may
easily reply and state what prize he !:
able to give.
H. NJ. Ayres, the sporting editor Of
the Star, has instituted a novel method
of boosting the race. The paper has
offered prizes for those who come near
est to guessing the names of the frs
six fnishers and the time in which L
will be made.
A direct appeal will be made to own
ers of automobiles to assist in making
the race a success by keeping room fol
one person in case any of them give
in. This appeal has been made severa
times in the papers without any re
Spouse and so they will be asked more
directly. There are many people who
own machines who will follow the race
and the matter needs only to be drawn
directly to their attention to bring a
ready assent, judging by past events.

That makes your heart feel light;
With a lust for baseball all the while
And swat that s out of sight,
Our Charlie Masak leaves, alas,
But with him, when he goes,
He II take aloha from the Isles
Where the clustering trade-wind blows
Here's to you lad, where 'er you go
You II surely leave behind
A true regret that you have gone
In every sportsman S mind.
Out for the sport and sport alone
Has always been your sign.

S JPERlNTENDENT JONES
BEING MENTIONED

In the column devoted to Legisla-
i've Notes and Hotel Gossip in the
Nashville American we find the fol-
lowing reference to Hon. r. l.. Jones:
1.-THE name of Hon. r. L. Jones, state
superintendent Of public instruction, is
being mentioned frequently Of late in
connection with the democratic nomi-
nation for governor in 1910. Mr.. Jones
has not made any public announce
ment OF what he intends to do, but
some Of his most intimate friends as
sert that his name will be presented to
the democratic voters for the place, and
that he will prove a most formidable
candidate. Mr.. Jones was named state
superintendent by Gov. Patterson two
years ago and was renamed for the
place a few weeks since. He was ap-
pointed from Hamilton county, and in
that particular section of the state his
candidacy will meet with especial ia
favor"

the wilds of Garter county, and catch
ing the hero of Backwoods without his
side arms compels him to surrender,
leads him captive prisoner to the feet
of Mrs. Mary Miller and delivers him

many friends here will join The Comet

age over blissful matrimonial sea,
