Four Cups Are Put Up for Two

didn't discover the North Pole, but a
most energetic chap who herds exeur-

in Jerusalem, half day for the Pyra-

stops them half an hour at Port Said,
hires picturesque Arabs to ride along
the banks of the Suez Canal and shoot
their rifles in the air-ffty cents per
shoot and always to be done just be-

minutes in Bombay, gives them bromo
seltzer and ice at Colombo, shows them
two snakes and a fakir in Calcutta,

one hour for a 'rickshaw ride IN Hong

ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

Where the wind sweeps free down the
smiling slopes
OF the fair Nuuanu vale;
Where the Christening death of the
golfer s hopes
Has told sad, sad tale;
Where the cry of "Fore" is often
heard
And the divots are often rolled,
A gay procession is coming down
The Hawaiian braves of old.
So list for the swirl of battle-ax
And the swish of a hula skirt,
Lie low when the maidens come along
And do not try to fiirt,
But wait for the best of Hawaiian lore
And the telling of ancient days
IT'S the kamaainas who celebrate
As they should, meath the moon S pale
rays.

expects to be IN perfect condition next
Saturday, and to show the public that
he is not yet all in, and can not only
defeat Sullivan, but also lower the Is
land record for a one-Inile walking
race
Then the Baseball.
After the Saturday events will come
the big baseball doings on Sunday aft
ernoon, postponed from last Sunday, Oh
account of the weather. Aala Park is
in excellent condition and yesterday
afternoon the Japs We're out there for
practise, while the Jewels went to Ma
kiki.
One of the most enthusiastic Of the
Athletic Park fans had something to
say about Gibson yesterday He said,
Nobody knows what this man can do
yet. He has never lost game SO
lar as | can remember, on his merits.
He never had the proper backing and
most of the time he was not caught
as well as might be.
. He is one eff the strongest pitchers
we have on the Islands and one of +he
headiest. | firmly expect to see him
hold the Diamond Head players down
to almost nothing, if not TO a shutout,
lnan keenly all through the Oahu league
season and believe that he has great
future before him.
Not Too Much Baseball.
The speaker may have been preju-
diced in favor of a man whom he has
watched carefully, but there is much
truth in what he says and good old
"Gib' may be relied on to put up a
fine exhibition of twiriing when he
starts in against the Sparklers.
Some of the local sports have been
reiteraling their complaints about too
much baseball. They may be right,
they probably are, but there is moth
ing else doing in the line of Sunday
sport and so they can not very well
complain if the fans are provided with
their favorite amusement.
Perhaps if some of the people who
make the most noise about killing base
bali by having too much of it, would
take hand in promoting some other
line of winter sport. something to give
the great proletariat and also the upper
! ten something to do on Sunday, there
would not be so much winter baseball.
But Honolulu is typically sport-loving
place. The people want some sporting
event to go to, something to give them
a little excitement. Let the howlers
come through with a few suggestions.
Soccer is good game, but it is not
an American game. Only few patron
ize it. Rugby might be introduced but
the people would never take any great
interest in it after having their appe-
t;tes whetted by short intercollegiate
series
Not Purely Amateur.
As long as people will go to the
baseball games, why not let them have
it. In amateur sports here the season$s
are pretty well divided and, thanks
to the earnest efforts of a few good
ones like Doctor Hand, are becoming
more distinct than ever. But local
baseball is hardly amateur. It is quasi
professional at she best. While not a
noney-making enterprise, it is depend
ed on TO pay its own expenses and in
terest on considerable investment.
Therefore let it be hoped that the
weather will be fine and that the Japs
and Sparklers will put up the greatest
series of ball ever seen here. It looks
very much as though they would.

Provided that the weather keeps fine,
everything will be lovely for the two
big New Year s events at the Athletic
Park. The ten-mile running race and
mile walking race on Saturday and the
first game of the big baseball series
on Sunday.
Yesterday morning at about ten
Q clock the Athletic Park was nothing
3ut big pond. There was an average
Of six inches of water all over the
diamond and some iocular bystander de-
acIared that he saw school of mullet
flirting round first base.
But this state of affairs was soon
remedied. Tony Marcalllno who is
managing 'the baseball series, paid a
visit to the Park and soon had the
caretaker and some helpers at work
digging trenches from the grounds TO
the storm drain that skirts the Eva
side of the Park.
Four or five of these openings were
cut and The water began to swirl along
them and down to the drain. In few
hours the water had dropped several
inches and by morning, there is little
doubt that the grounds will be dry ex-
cept for a few puddles and these will
soon give way to the sun and wind.
The terrific rains of the last few
days gave place to high southeasterly
winds and bright sunshine yesterday
The barometer is rising and everything
points to fine weather for the new year
