DICK REUTER- TO
JOIN SEATTLES

Dick Reuter-, the Honolulu baseball
pitcher who went to California early
in the season and failed to make good,
has been heard from. He is out of
the team with which he had signed
and is now under engagement to play
with the Seattles. AS there will be
important doings in the line of base
ball up that way during the summer,
the new berth is as important as the
old.
Reading between the lines of all that
has been written by both sides in the
Reuter- affair, it is plain that the Ho-
nOlulu man did not play the ball over
there that was his won't in Honolulu,
The chilly foggy climate was against
him, and he was never in the best of
physical trim. Then, again, he found
himself wedged in between cOmbina-
lions that were at war, and their bat
Ties were fought over his shoulders.
From the start the situation was dis
couraging, and it failed to improve.
Whether his resignation was offered
or requested is not stated; but it was
probably a little Of both. The trouble
had reached a point where the Homo
lulu man could not retain his dignity
and remain IN the box for the team
with which he had signed.

The KAPIOLANIS
ADJUST TROUBLE

There was a largely attended and
enthusiastic meeting of the Kapiolani
Baseball League at the residence of
John Silva last evening, at which
numerous items of business were
Strengthened out The lengthiest dis
cussion was on the status of Antoine
Medeiros, pitcher, who had signed with
both the All Star and Reach teams.
When this matter was sifted to the
bottom, il was found that the double
signing was the result of a mistake for
which Medeiros was not altogether to
be blamed. After amending the by
laws to make the action legal, Me-
deiros was released from both teams
and then allowed to sign over with the
Reach nine. This arrangement seem
ed to be satisfactory all around, al
though it was admitted that the pre-
cedent Was a bad one.
Next Sundays games iii the Kapio
lani park will be as follows Reach VS.
All Stars, at 1870; All Hawaii VS.. To
kiwa, at $3.50.

GUN CLUB SHOOT { {. {
RESULTS IN TIE

A surprise was sprung in the fifth
trophy shoot of the Hawaiian Gun
Club yesterday afternoon when Kirk

on the prize and was expected to win,
fell down. He had been unwell dur
ing the day and was unable in the
pinch to score with the high bunch. ].

makes him tie with Porter in the com
petition.

HIGH SCHOOL AND

What had promised and undoubtedly
would have been a most exciting game
Of baseball between the St. Louis and
High School teams was broken off
yesterday afternoon by rain. The
score at the end of the fifth innings
was tied at to 2, giving some idea
of the warm time that had been going
on It will be necessary to play or
the tie later along in the interscholas-
tic season.
There was quite a large crowd of
friends of both sides present and all
seemed to enjoy the sport while it
lasted The Punahous naturally root
ed for the st. Louis team, for had the
latter won it would have improved the
chances of the collegers for the pen
nant. When the rain came on the
crowd had to break for shelter, there
being nothing save the trees on the
field.
In The first two innings and half of
the third no scores were made by either
side, and the playing was as neat as
anyone could desire In the second
half of the third, however, heavy bat
ting by the High Schoolers and bulky
playing by the St. Louis twirlers gave
the former two runs. In the fourth
| there were no runs, but in the fifth the
performance Of the third inning was
repeated, the sides, however, being re-
versed.
The following was the score as long
as it lasted:

HORSEMEN DEFEAT
FORT SHAFTER

The baseball game in the military
league series, played at Schofeld Bar
racks, Leilehua, yesterday afternoon,
resulted in victory of the Fifth Cav
airy team over the Twentieth Infantry
by a score of to s. The game was a
rafting good one all the way through.
The Fort Shafter team, together with
a number of officers, ladies, "rooters,"
and few town people, reached the
cavalry camp something after 10 Il.
m. Playing began at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t being felt that the Fort
Shafter team was the weaker, Butler
the first pitcher of the cavalry outfit
was not punt in the box, Bell pitching
the entire game. Boloun pitched for
the Infantrymen.
The game was notable for tight play
ing, the fielding being about the best
yet put up by the country teams The
lineup of the teams was as follows:

derness in such matters. The bust
ness is bad although we think we have
to endure it yet awhile. But the liquor
sellers have had ample warning, and
they know the rules of the game. Let
them play in man fashion, or quit.
The good unofficial citizens must
throw the weight of their influence on
the side of law and order. There
ought to be no land, or house. leasabe
for drink shop, wholesale or retail,
near camp or a market. No good
citizen ought carelessly to sign liz
uor dealers petition or go on his bond,
or permit his representative to do so.
Many temperance men in Honolulu are
parties to the liquor business today,
because some good-natured manager
of their property has signed license
petition.
Newspapers that stand for high
ideals and clean politics, ought to de-
cline to sell space for liquor advertise
ments. It used to be thought that
publishers had no right so to decline,

advertisements of beer and whiskey,
that disfigure even our best papers,
are not especially expected to produce
sales directly. The men in these ISL
ands who buy such goods know what
they want and where to get it. No
body buys beer because he sees a page

advertising is simply useful, and wholly
intended, for publicity, to keep the

to cause that needs assistance; and
would pay big dividends on the in

! spicuous by their absence from the
clubs where the most cultured and
prosperoub citizens are in control,
and from the private hospitality of
men of commanding position. The
destruction of the weak comes not a
little from the poor creatures trying to
initiate the strong.

POLOISTS MAKE
EXCELLENT START

Nine or ten members of the polo
club met at the Pacific club last even
ing and talked over business in con-
nection with the approaching season.
Shingle, Potter, Judd, Dillingham; and
other prominent players being absent,
nothing of Importance was done. Most
encouraging reports were received
from every quarter, however, and the
prospects certainly look bright for the
greatest season the poloists have ever
had.
1t was decided to begin practice on
the Moanalua field next Saturday after
noon teams to be selected from mem
bers of the club. These Iractice
matches will thereafter be kept up
regularly until the season opens.

CHANGE IN n. Oh.
SHOOTING RANGE

Change in shooting range.
The Bishop Estate having found it
necessary to take back large portion
of the land in Kakaako used by the
National Guard for shooting range
purposes, the local soldiers will find
it necessary to seek another place for
long/distance practice. Only the two
hundred yards range at Kakaako can
hereafter be used, thus shutting off
practice at 300, 500, 800 or 1000 yards,
as may be required. In the present
competition for the pick of men to
participate in the national shoot this
summer, it has been found necessary to
use the range at Fort Shafter for long
distance firing.
Major Riley, who is in charge OF the
competitive shoot, had thirty-tiYe men
out last Sunday, and some very salts
factory scores were made. Out of
the number at practice, eighteen will
be passed to make up the team for

WOOLLEY TELLS HIS
PLAN OF WORK
LEADER ANTLsALooN LEAGUE OFT
LINES CAMPAIGN THE LIQUOR NEAR THE
ARMY PosTs-REDUCTIoN NUMBER HONOLULU SALOONS
LOOK OUT IMPURE LIQUOR

In the current issue of the Friend
Hon. John G. Woolley, head of the
Anti-Saloon League, outlines what he
considers should be the policy of the
league and supporters as to the liquor
traffic. Generally speaking, he wants
to cause a reduction in the number
of saloons, and he proposes the fol-
lowing lines of effort
No renewal ought to be granted to
one who has violated the conditions
of the license that he has, or given any
unusual trouble to the police, or even
come under general suspicion as TO
the character of his place
No license ought to be granted, or
renewed, for a saloon, or wholesale Ii
quor store, in close proximity to
military camp or reservation. A man
holding a wholesale license was caught
recently with wagon load of bottled
liquors supplying enlisted men, on the
Leilehua reservation. He was held
in camp until he could be delivered
with the goods on him, into the hands
of an officer. If what he was doing
was a genuine delivery of liquors or
hdered from him, he ought nevertheless
to lose his license the coming year. Or,
if it was a fake delivery he should be
retired summary from the list of
eligibles.
1t is the law of Congress and the
policy of the officer in command to
permit no beer or liquors to be sold in
camp. The War Department, and the
Navy Department also, are doing their
best to protect the camps, on the out
side as we'll Into that effort the
Commission ought to go heartily and
! loyalty This country must have
sober soldiers and sailors. Life in
camp is monotonous and in a measure
idle; the men are cut off from nearly
all the influences that tend to make
it easy for civilians to abstain. 1t
ought to be automatic in the Commits
sion that no countenance will be given,
nor any mercy SHOWN, to Yiolators of
the spirit of the law protecting SOL
diers and sailors from the most COM
mon and most dangerous temptation
that besets them.
If the commission believes that anti
saloon sentiment has progressed during
the year, the number of licenses should
be reduced accordingly, even without
any charges being brought against the
/ present holders. A reduction of rs per
cent in Honolulu would seem not UNI
reasonable.
1t is to be hoped that the commits
sioners will rise superior to the blind
pig bugaboo. Illicit dealing should be
fought of course; it has been faithfully
and efficiently fought in Oahu up to
this time. But wherever there are IL
,censed liquor houses, unlicensed sales
will flourish. There is abundant evil
dence of the fact, that prohibitory
areas support fewer blind pigs than
those that issue licenses. There is
only one dam that drops that litter, in
Hawaii, and that in polite society
avoids the unpleasant suoid reference
by calling itself a liquor store
All Sunday selling should be cut
out, save only at hotels, with bona fide
meals, and market places should be
protected by a wide belt of dry con.
tiguous territory; and as to this, whole,
sale and retail places are equally oh

jectionable. Restaurant licenses should

sandwich farce should mean the prompt
withdrawal of a license Every licensee
should be prohibited to sell on the
afternoon of pay day, on penalty of
losing his license, and the sale to any
known minor, posted persons or person
visibly drunk should mean immediate
cancellation of the license. The sale
to illicit dealers knowingly or under
circumstances of strong suspicion,
should forfeit any wholesale license.
Immediate attention should be paid
to the character of liquors sold. There
are some blends" on sale in this mar
ket, one drink of which would fetch
a war whoop from the steam dredge
in the bay. Wholesale licensees ought
to be made to conform to the federal
pure food law and in addition be for
hidden to indulge in blends of any
kind
The fact that a licensee has money
invested in his place is a tender point
with business men; but it ought to
weigh absolutely nothing as against a
good reason for Withholding or CANCEL
ing the license. The investor in a Ii
cense knows what he is buying-a per-
mil for one year. Let him look out
for himself. as his customers and vic
| tins have to do.

WILL HOLD CHICKEN
SHOOT AT GLENDALE
Birds viii Be Shot For In Squads
and the High Man viii Take
Brd-No Rifles Are
Barred

Plans have been completed for the
Los Angeles Rife and Revolver clubs
old. fashioned chicken and duck shoot
on their Glendale range, Sunday. The
affair is TO be conducted by the club
and the birds are to be hung up at as
near cost as possible, after paying the
markers wages.
The events will include 200 and 300
yards for hunting and military rifles
and 90 yards for 20 caliber rifles. Any
one can enter and any rifles can be
used, barring only those that weigh
over ten pounds.
Under the system adopted the birds
are to be shot for by squads, either
ten or twelve competitors to the squad,
three shots in each, and high man to
take the bird. To prevent the good
shots from landing all the prizes,
those winning birds viii be handicap
ped one point for each bird won. Under
this plan man wining more than two
birds would have to shoot possible
scores.
The entrance fee will be one-tenth
the cost of the bird in each event, rang
ing from ten TO fifteen cents in each
case.
Rifles can be borrowed on the range
and ammunition will be for sale at
cost for the convenience Of those wish
ing to shoot.
over two dozen chickens and nearly
a dozen ducks have been provided as
prizes.
Glendale is to send a dozen ex-mem-
bers of the former Glendale Rife
club, while the Rife and Revolver
club will have a score Of competitors
present. Unattached shooters are in
vited to attend,
The fight for the off-hand medal will
be revived again Sunday, and It prom
ises to be n lively one. The trophy IS
to be taken for keeps" by the man
winning 1t three times, not necessarily
consecutive. Since last April, It has
been won once by H. c. Nichols. L.
Andrews lost It in the last shoot
through poor ammunition, and even
under those circumstances he made six
bullseyes in fifteen attempts.
The fight seems to settle between
Kellogg, Andrews, Nichols and Cross
man and should either Nichols or
Crossman take the medal, they keep
1t for good, something which Andrews
states he is going to prevent. Under
the provisions of the shoot allowing
the use of any rifle, is shots at 200
yards off-hand Andrews is using a
Winchester 25-20 While Crossman VIII
use a new Mauser with set triggers,
and Lyman sights.
To reach the Glendale range, take
an Eagle Rock car on Broadway, ride
to the intersection of the new Glen
dale cutoff line in Eagle Rock val
ley but take the Glendale cutoff car
to Sinclair avenue. Range lies about
a quarter Of a mile up Sinclair and
Sycamore Road.
