WILDER DEMANDS
 RETURN OF BOY
Conflict Between City Court and Re- form School Over Custody of Ricl1- ard Larkin, Whose Parents Prefer Jail for Him.

A clash between the authorities in charge of the State Reform School at Meriden and Judge Wilder of the-Cfty court may result in the former being in contempt of the latter. Richard Larkin, one of a number of boys com mitted the other day upon a convic- tilon of petty burglary, is in the school. The parents of Larkin, claim ing that he is beyond the legal age when boys can be sent to the school under the statute, have asked for his release. They want him tried and sent to jaii, if he is again found guilty. believing a short term in jail better for him than a number of years in the school.
 The school, however, refused to de- liver the boy upon the request of the court. This morning Judge Wilder gave a formal order for the boy to Patrolman Joseph Coughlin who will present it to the authorities of the school this afternoon. Judge Wilder believes that the court which imposed the sentence may suspend it and bases his action upon this view.

The Fort Shafter team is anxious to
hear something from the Fifth Cavalry
on the subject of a baseball game. They
hear that the new arrivals have some
natty ball-tossers out at Leilehua and
would be pleased to accommodate them
with game any afternoon they please.
The showing of pictures of the Ka-
lanianaole League players and officers
at the Gem theater last night was a
decided success. There was one part
lacking, however, and that was the
spelling of a. K. Vierra. He was
scheduled to stand in the gallery and
make short speech on each of the
pictures. but he was not there. Maybe
he had stagefright at the last min
ute, and maybe somebody kidnapped
him. Let us hope it was the latter.

SUGGEST THAT
STAR CATCHES

A suggestion will be brought before
the league meeting today, that during
one or all of the games yet to be played,
4he visitors lend the locals either bat
terry or a catcher. Mique Fisher thinks
that this would be good idea and he
has the endorsement of many of the
fans
While the local boys have done re.
markably well, they have not the ex-
perienee of the professional men nor
have they the time for practise and
those in favor of the scheme argue that
this arrangement would make the games
far more even.
They claim that the fans do not care
which team wins but that they will not
go out to the grounds if it is foregone
conclusion that the visitors are going
to swamp the locals. There are others
who claim that the All-Hawaii team
has a fine chance to win the next games
and, judging by the showing they made
an the first part of Sundays game, this
makes a very plausible noise.

IN THE
BOX TOMORROW

There will be two changes in the
local lineup tomorrow. Alfred Castle
will pitch and Scottina viii take second.
The latter is new man who has been
practising with the team and has made
very good impression.
The visitors have not had much
trouble with two of our pitchers, al
though both of them made them do
little guessing for a time. 1t will be
interesting to see what Castle will do
with them.
There is no header man playing on
the Islands today than Castle, and,
when he is feeling fit, he can get them
over in good shape. His college ex-
perience was of inestimable value to
him, as he learned to have the ears of
Ulysses-that is, metaphoricai big
wad of cotton wool in them when the
bleachers get busy There is no more
distraeting roofing done than that eff
fected by college squads and, having
learned TO withstand them, Castle may
be depended on to take no notice of
Brick s antics or remarks from the
spectators.
Castle also has great way of feel
ing his team and holding them when
they get grouchy, which, sad to say,
is a local failing. If there is to be any
borrowing or lending of batteries, it
would be well, at any rate, to let the
local team have one more try with Cas-
tie in the box They are very deter
mined to wipe out that balloon thing of
Sunday, and nobody can assist them
more ably than the Harvard graduate.

OLD FAN WANTS
STAR UMPIRE

The following letter was received at
this Office yesterday afternoon:
"Dear Sir: The following suggestion
is not so much my own as that of sew
eral other fans who were out at the
game on Sunday. Personally l have
nothing against Barney Joy, but l do
not consider that he umpires a good
game and / should like to see somebody
else hold the indicator on Wednesday.
''You may well ask Who will take
his placer If Bert Bower would act,
he would be the man, but I hear that
he refuses. What is the matter with
one of the visitors umpiring? 1t goes
without saying that he would not give
his own team any of the best of it and
We could be sure of absolutely correct
decisions. [ should be glad to have you
publish this, if you so wish, and enclose
my card; doubtless you recognize my
name. Very truly yours,

F. GETS
THEIRS FROM F

Companies E and F put up one of the
fastest of the practise games which
have been played at Fort Shafter in
preparation for the Captain Cunning
cup yesterday afternoon. Company T
proved to be the final winners by the
score of TO 8, but they had no easy
marks to beat, and the E boys kept
them working every minute.
Oakrey pitched for the winners and
made very good job of it. He famed
seven players and kept the hits well
scattered, although the losers piled up
nine ON him.
Jones, who wore the mitt for the
winners, backed his twirler up in good
shape and was fast in his throws to
second on steals. This looks like a
strong battery, and Company f may
have a good chance for the cup in spite
of Company G IS recent successes.
The following were the official scores
and ine-ups:

BOWLERS START
TOURNAMENT

The opening game of the bowling
tournament last night was a great sue
cess. The Naval Station put it over
the soldiers from Fort Shafter by the
good majority of 900 points. Ser.
geant Davis of the soldiers made the
best score of 191 points, and the best
average of 16S.
The scores do not bid fair to be
very high on account of the rather
short space left for running. Some
ten strikers need long run before
delivery, while there are some who
will stand on the line and catch the
center pin merely with an arm swing.
Except for this one disadvantage
the alleys are the very best that could
be built. The light is good and the
floors are smooth, with correct con-
vexes in front of the pin-stand.
When the teams get used to the short
start, scores will be higher, and there
should be some exciting finishes. The
next match viii be on Wednesday
night
