KEEP 1T DARK"
SELDOM HEARD

If any one thing counts more than
athletic sports that one thing is pub
LEFTY. The ability of fighter, ball
player, coach or trainer to keep his
name and his features under the glare
of the spotlights and on the lips of the
fans is one of the most potent factors
in ) his struggle for livelihood. 1t, is
often more important than excellence
in his particular line, as is witnessed
by the incomprehensible successes of
professional athletes who either have
never exhibited what the sporting
world calls "class," or who have long
ago passed their period of usefulness.
There are times, however, when the
object of talk in fandom would gladly
"pass the buck' to one of his fellow
professionals and hide himself in OBJ
security until the story about him passes
out of the public mind. Merkle of the
| New York Giants, for instance, would
welcome any sort of a psychological
phenomena which would forever hush
he description of how he lost the cham
pionship of the world for his team.
When the second baseman failed to
touch the bag in the deciding game of
the New York Chicago series, he gained
notoriety which will require years of
good playing to overcome. The mem

wnen "Mlque' Fisher and his ag-
gregation of worlds champions step
down the gang-plank on their arrival
back in Honolulu, they will be'met with
the cheering information that this town
has a team which is not only ready to
try conclusions with them, but that will
also go into each and every game with
good and fair chance of winning. Not
withstanding the almost apparent
apathy with which the return of the
All-Americans seemed to be viewed
locally, the boys have awakened at last
to realization of where they stand,
and are going into the proposition of
securing players with the right sort of
spirit and the enthusiasm that wins
contests.
Yesterday afternoon Eddie Fernan-
DEE took the initiative upon himself
and made up a list of baseball artists
from among the recognized experts in
the game here. Then he started on a
round of calls, to get each mans ex-
preston of opinion on the subject. AL
most everyone, with the exception of a
few who state that their share of the
gate receipts will not be sufficient, is
ready and willing to do everything in
his power to help the good work along,

Horse-racing has taken a great leap

excellent amusement for the public.
The pugilistic game has come to the
front amazingly, Notwithstanding the
efforts that were made to keep it
smothered. During the stay of the
two fleets in this port, large number
of mills were pulled off, and they
were all classy. The outlook for the
future Of this sport in Honolulu is ex-
cellent. With clever youngster like
Dick Sullivan at present holding the
Championship of Hawaii" and two
fast fighters like Kyle Whitney and
George Peterson, scheduled to arrive
here shortly, little more need be said
with regard to the 1909 prospects.
Good crowds have attended every
scrap held during 1908, guaranteeing
gate receipts that warrant the bring
ing of the best fighters here from the
Coast,
SO has it been during 1908 in all
branches of sport Honolulu is with
out doubt being recognized on the
map of Sportdom, as much because
of the high standard she has set in
her performances as because of the
cosmopolitanism of the sports here.
Today there will be golf at the
Country Club, beginning at 10 clock
in the morning; soccer, starting at
1870 in the afternoon; motorcycle
races, and almost every outdoor sport
played will be represented. 1t will
