By Jack Densham.

Dick Sullivan and Jack Cordell will
meet at the Star Theater tonight to
argue the little question as to who is
to hold the title of Middleweight
Champion CT the Pacific. They have
already met twice, both times over
the ffteen-round route and each has
resulted in a draw.
This time they will box twenty
rounds. This is a much fairer test for
two such well Unmatched men, than a fif-
teen-round GO. The extra fifteen min
utes of milling makes one big differ
ence. It gives a chance for that sur
plus of vigor and energy induced by
correct training and natural stamina,
to make itself felt and I do not be-
ieve that the mill will 60 the limit.
Mike Patton will referee. Very salts
factory to everybody concerned Mike
knows the game and plays it straight.
He may be depended on to do no
favoritism, should the bout go to the
limit and the decision, if there be one,
will certainly be the right thing.
Here is one case where only the
man, who holds down a piece of pave
ment on the Rialto when the sports get
together, and has decided opinions of
his own, can possible make a forecast

ALOHA TEAM IS
REORGANIZED
By w. Tin Chong.

The granting of the request of the
Chinese Athletic Association to sign
up a complete new list of players to
take the place of the disbanded
Alohas; accepting the resignation of L.
Mon Tai, as League manager, who is
going away on the Alameda next We'd
nesday to take course in college and
allowing the Kewalos and the Palamas
. to sign one new player each, is about
all that took place at the special meet
ing of the Riverside League held at
the offices of A. l.. C.'Atkinson yester-
day at noon.
As the new Chinese club will not be
able to enter team in the League un
til the beginning of the second series
commencing on August goth, it was
also voted to change the present sched-
ule for the two games to take place
this Sunday afternoon at Aala Park.
The dragonlets- asked to be excused
from participating in the present series
and this was unanimously granted. The
teams which will play tomorrow will
be: Kewalo A. c. VS.. Aalas and the
Fort Skaters VS.. Palamas. There can
be no better evenly matched games
than these and they ought to be a big
drawing card.
The first game will take place at 1870
D. m. sharp. This will be warm bat
tie between the Atkinson League
Champions and the leading team of the
Riversiders. The Kewaios will be
strengthened by Camacho, who is stat
ed to be one of the best ball players
among the Junior leagues in the Por-
tuguese community. This is what Man
ager Paresa told the members at the
meeting. 1t should be a nice game
anyway, as the Portuguese are deter
mined to defeat the Aalas this Sun
day. The batteries in this game will
be Freitas, and Joseph, Kewalos, and
Hardee and Moses, Aalas.
Can the roadpounders defeat the
Hawaiian Giants? This is what a good
many of the fans are asking. Of course
the answer will be announced at the
grounds tomorrow afternoon. If the
roadpounders come through victorious,
it will not be the first time they have
won from the former Riverside League
champions 1t will be remembered that
they did ting not long ago. The
Skaters have shown much improve
ment since Lieutenant Bowen took hold
of the management and they should at
least make the Palamas play hard
fought game before the roadpounders
are to be defeated. Bowen s team de-
feated the Eheu kids last Sunday and
as the Eheus are considered to be the
best team in the league, there is nc
reason why they can not beat the Pa
lamas. This game will take place at
$3.50 p. m.
The band will be in attendance and
with this added to the afternoon s pro
gram, Aala park win no doubt draw
big crowd of fans to the grounds
tomorrow What the teaps in the River
side League need, is better baseball
and the boys are now determined tc
provide it.

YACHTS OFF FOR
TRIP TO WAIANAE

This afternoon the yachts will start
on the trip to Waianae. The Hawaii,
with crew of youngsters, will leave
the foot of Fort street shortly after
one o clock. The other yachts viii leave
later in the day.
Commodore Wilder viii be in com
mand of the Hawaii and with him there
will be eighteen other yachtsmen. more
than a dozen of them being juniors,
mostly members of the Honolulu yacht
club. Steward Hamilton will be in
charge of the galley and this makes
it certain that everybody viii have the
best of things to eat. As commander
of galley it is hard to beat this man
from Ceylon.
The Kan, Gladys, Charlotte c. and
Hawaii I. will leave later on in the
afternoon. Many of those who sail on
these yachts cannot conveniently get
away from work until five clock and
so they will hoist sail as soon as ev-
erybody can get aboard.
Arrived off Waianae all the yachts
will drop anchor and stay there for the
night. Tomorrow morning after there
has been plenty of time to get break
fast and dress ship, the commodore will

of the outcome of the battle. One
thing We all know and that is that
both men are out to do their very best
and win if they possibly can.
It is hard to say whether the longer
route will favor either man. It seem

wards the end in both of their previous
meetings. But Cordell, on the other
hand, never seemed to be in distress
and, young and husky as he is. it may
well be that the extra rounds will
bring him just as much of a chance
as they will to Dick.
Of their training stunts and how
each man has fitted himself for the
contest, much has been written and
there is nothing to be said except that
l know, from what I have seen OF
their daily work, that both men are
really fit and will be ready to last
out the twenty rounds unless old man
Morpheus comes along. 1t will be one
grand scientific and exciting contest
and not 70 be missed by any means.
The preliminary between Sarconi and
Young Terry, scheduled for six rounds
will start promptly at SIS and the
management has requested that the
fans get there on time SO as to avoid
delay. Both principals in the main
event are down to weight and the
weighing ceremony will be a mere
form.

jim MOTT WINS
CHAMPIONSHIP

James Mott defeated NJ. G. Johnston
in the finals of the senior handball
tournament at the Y. NJ. G. A. yester-
day afternoon in one of the hardest
fought matches ever seen in the good
old gym.
Johnston took the first game 21-13.
Mott did not seem to be playing in very
good form and allowed some returns
to fail that, under ordinary conditions.
he would never let by him. But he
bucked up in the second game and took
it away from his older competitor by
21-15.
The last game was an exact reversal
of the first. Mott was gaining accuracy
and steadiness and Johnston was I'M
able to keep up with him. The loser
put up very game fight but could not
handle his opponents swift returns and
the game and match ended 21--13 for
Mott.

The second of the big league games
will be played this afternoon. Saints
VS.. Puns is the schedule and both
teams seem to have got together a
very classy aggregation. Here they
are: Puns-McCorriston, c; Bill Hamp-
ton, p; Hogs, 1b; Lemn, 2b; Medcraft,
SIS; Mccall, 3b; Danny Arcia, If; Jack
Kia, CT; Peyton or Ordenstein, IF;
Saints-Soares, c; Johnny Williams,
p; George Bruins, 1b; Jimmy Williams,
2b; Markham, 3b; Manuel Freitas, SIS;
En- Sue, If; Taylor, eff; Barney Joy, IF.
A glance at the above will show that
surely and steadily the Step-ladder
Route is making its way into local
baseball The big league is deter
mined to put out a good brand of ball,
and, to do this, is working to get the
best of the younger players to grad
uate with them.
That this is not having any de-
teriorating effect ON minor ball is
clearly proved by the remarkable rec
ord of last Sunday at the Athletic
park. Encouraging the younger play
ers is going to encourage all the play
ers. It will get the fans bucked up
so that they will go to all the games
and it will be as great boost for the
game here as could possibly happen.
The game this afternoon bids fair to
be a fast and exciting meeting. There
will be several new faces seen on the
diamond and each one of the owners
will be there to make good. When the
players are out to make good, that is
when we have crackeriack brand

The grandstand will be filed, that

they did last Saturday as the fans
make noise like going out there.
The baseball bug is working overtime
Recent good games have started the
bleaeher kids going and it really
seems as though the big league were
to get some of the support it deserves.
There is growing sentiment among
the people who like to see baseball, but
would not attend game on Sunday,
that the Saturday games Of the big
league must be patronizedt They will
GO out for this time, perhaps, on this
account, they will go out in future
on account of knowing that they will
see good baseball.
Both teams have been practising for
all they are worth. Johnny Williams
is in fine form and so is Bill Hampton

ed by the Marines at Camp Very after
the final training stunts yesterday aft

and the Half-wets wanted the boys to
stay to supper. This was impossible
on account of Jacks rigid diet and so
it was arranged that the whole party
should be the guests of the Marines
tomorrow.

If we have any more twelve and

WILL NOT IE lii.

After two long conferences with tne
presidents and other officials of the
railroads.. Governor kitchin told them
Yesterday hat he could not recon-
mend the Legislature TO grant tnelr
request. They wish the Legislature
to authorize the Corporation Commls-
sion to hear the matter on Apfll lSt'
at which time the 2h-cent rate Will
have been in operation one year. n
also wish the Commission to nave
power TO change that rate if convinced
that conditions justify 4 change. me
burden Of the argument was the same
as given by President Finley in his
communication in The News and OBJ
server on Friday. Governor kltchln
stated his position in these words:
4 don't hin the Legislature ought
to take any action.
Il hin any action on the part
OF the Legislature would be con-
strued as reopening Of the matter and
would not have q soothing effect upon
he people.
Il have thought, and still think,
these rates under normal conditions
are not unreasonable or Gniust.a I
don't think the Legislature would be
justified in ~re-Opening the matter.
II don't think the facts are suf-
fcient to justify my going into it.
I don't think the facts disclosed by
last years trial show tina in normal
year the rates would not be fair and
just.
There are no facts sufficient to
Justify any action being started on
foot. especially on the part of the
State. or a re-agitation or r~eopening
Of the matter which was done so
deliberately by the last Legislature.
You base your entire complaint upon
the worst year in ten
Personally, I have fe.t hat the
passenger rate proposition was SO
clear cut that the Legislature itself
ought to fix the passenger rates.
These statements by Governor
Kitchin are Just what the people ex-
OF his public duty. If the railroads

mination Of the people of the State.
and permit the matter to stand where

ago it should remain The rate Is

necessity for it. @t@3<
Governor Kitchin has acted wisely,
and his decision will meet with popu-
lar approval.
