in HOUSE OF HIS FRIENDS
Former Arctic Hero Now Stands
Discredited.

New York, Dec 22.-Thus ends one
of the most fascinating chapters in all
the romance of exploration. Honored
by the king of Denmark, heralded by
the University of Copenhagen, gar
landed with wreaths of roses by
young girls, accorded freedom of the
city of New York and acclaimed by
thousands as the bravest man who
ever dared the silent terrors of the
Arctic, DR.. Frederick A. Cook stands
discredited in the house of his friends.
Not a word from him in defense or
explanation Nothing but disavowalS
from his partisans in the controversy
that has ragged about him ever since
he first flashed word from Lerwick, in
the Shetland islands, to his wife:
Successful. Well. Address Copen-
hagen"
Interest turns to three questions:
Where is the doctor? What will he
have to say for himself? What will
he do with himself?
Charles Wake, a close friend and
DR.. Cooks brother in Brooklyn both
say he is at ChristianSand, Norway.

are at school in this country.
A friend says that the doctor wrote,
in the event of an adverse decision,
he would take no appeal to the other
scientific tribunals of the world.

lawyer, and a friend were both asked
how much money they thought DR..
Cook had made from the sale of his

Friends in Congress.
Washington, Dec. 2l.--An effort will
be made soon after the holidays to
start a movement among the members
of the house to secure enactment of
legislation increasing the compensation
of rural free delivery carriers. No less

and means to put some measure
through the house.

PUNS VS.. COLLEGE
THIS AFTERNOON

The football game this afternoon will
be between the College of Hawaii and
Punahou. The latter has already won
one game by big margin and there IS
every prospect that it will repeat the
trick
The College of Hawaii. however. is
not by any means discouraged. The
boys from that institution have done
great work under various disadvantages
and have made an excellent showing.
The great trouble that the college
fellows have to contend with is that
they have SO few to pick from. They
have only about fifteen men to draw
from and, as soon as one or two of
these get put away for time, they
are up against il for material.
But with all this. they mean 70 put
mp a great scrap this afternoon and.
VITA hard practise and plenty Of spirit,
they may well put IL over on the Puma
hon lads.

thought they knew but did not: and

Some of the fans are beginning TO
do some figuring with regard to the
rest of the Oahu baseball series at the
Athletic Park. Nigel Jackson, official
scorer of the league, has it figured out
that either the Dragonlets or the Ma
rines must win all their games and the
Japs lose all theirs, for the latter to
lose the championship.
Here is the way it may happen. If
the Dragonlets beat the Japs tomorrow
then they will stand 1925 and 800. On
the following Sunday, if the Beers
should chance to defeat the. Japs and
the Dragonlets slip it to the Marines,
then the two teams will stand ia and
81.
Then again if the Half-wets can de-
feat the Japs and the Dragonlets hand
it to the Beers, they will stand 1925
each. After that there will be the final
games postponed from November Z. In
this game the Chinese team must beat
the Marines and the Beers beat the
Japs. This is the only way in which
the Japs can get done out of the cham.
pionship. That is unless the thing is
reversed and the Marines do what the
Dragonlets have been supposed to do.
Big Doings Tomorrow.
But tomorrow there will certainly be
big excitement when the Dragonlets
and Japs hook up. The Chinese players
are out after the J. A. c. goat in great
shape and will do their very grandest
to win out.
Apau will pitch as usual and Che Bui
will be back at catch. The c. A. Cs
will have their very strongest team out
and remarkable battle is sure to re
suit.
Jack Motley, to whom most of the
credit for the success of the Japs is
due, will be there as usual to coach his
team and get them out on the field in
quick order. Jack looked sly yesterday
when asked what his team was going

BOERS WIN THE
SECOND GAME
Kalihi. ID; Palamas, II.

The Beer kids handed a hard bunch
to the victorious Palamas last night
at Kalihi chapel. when they pounded
out a well-earned indoor baseball vie
tory by fifteen to eleven.
The feature of the game was the
pitching of Trask, who had them all
buffaloed in great shape. BingIes are
easily made in indoor baseball, but
this good twirler stood for only a few
of those first base things.
There were no home runs made. but
some of the Kalihi bunch made the
rooters get up and work hard by hand
ing cut safe doubles. And there GER
tainly was great roofing section
there.
The same as at the games in the
Palama gymnasium. there were all

PEARL AND SALLY
To SAIL AGAIN
Honolulu Yacht Club Meets and
Makes Several Good
Decisions.

At meeting of the Honolulu Yacht
Club held last night several things were
decided on. The main one was that
the race of last Sunday should be sail
ed over again between the Pearl and
the Dancing Sally. This to decide who
wins the race and who has the choice
of the Jack Scully or Manufacturers
Shoe Company prize.
1t was also decided that there should
be another member of the regatta com
mittee. making three in all. Will Lyle
was elected with reclamation.
The question of a one design rig as
well as class was brought up. The first
question was that of sails. The fol-
lowing motion was passed:
s'Sail area ON all boats, SO far as
regards mainsaiIs, shall be limited as
follows: By measurements from the
deck to the eve of the throat ballard
blocks, from the mast to the outhaul
hole on the gaff and from the mast to
the outhaul hole on the boom; these
measurements to be announced by the
regatta committee before the next
race.
1t was also decided to have races
only twice a month. For this reason
there will be no race tomorrow. There
are several advantages about this ar
rangement In the first place a race
every Sunday is rather running a good
fox into his hole In the second place
there are many of the yaehtsmen who
can only get Sunday for day off to
work ON their boats and, Improvements,
noted on one Sunday, can be carried
on the following Sunday and then
produced in the race.
The question of centerboards was
brought up. The Pearl has had an ex-
ira timber spear showed down through
her centerboard casing aft, and the
aalIoping Mary has an iron center
board
So far as the Pearl class is concerned
the boats are restricted to the metal
centerboards with which they are pro-
vided when purchased. The iron board
on the Galloping Mary has been put in
as an experiment and while the warp
was being taken out of her wooden
board. A resolution was passed that
the Galloping Mary should be allowed
10 use her metal board until such time
as she could get her wooden board
fixed. The latter will be seen to as
soon as possible.
Wood Not Heavy Enough.
The trouble with the wooden boards
has been that they were not heavy
