LIKES CHANGES

Maui has better polo team than it
ever had before. They have been prac-
Using hard and believe that they have
a combination team work that was
never excelled on these islands.
This was the essence of what Frank
Baldwin had to say on Wednesday
when he was finally discovered at Pu-
unene. This il part of what he said,
"With great interest we have read the
Advertiser accounts Of the recent polo
games. / appreciate what great team
work the Oahu bunch is showing, and
we all feel that we are going to have
q much harder job than we had here
on Maui last year.
SIN the last Oahu.C Cavalry game /
noticed the way that the Oahu boys
strung out and passed to each other.
There is one style of play that we
have been practising religiously. Team
work and then team work is what we
have been working for and you may
be sure that we shall do our best in
this respect.
"When the Oahu and Maui teams
get together there will be a battle
royal. / know that much and 1 am
not saving for a minute that we are
game and, to tell you the honest truth,
game will play Oahu and do not feel
too boastful in saying that it will be
Maui who will play Oahu.
But | want to impress one thing
on you very strongly. The pleasure
that the Maui players will have in
meeting the Cavalry. Excellent riders,
feel as anxious TO get in that game
as-well as anything yon like to quote
me as saying.
"our ponies viii leave here on Sep

posing that the Oahu team wins the
preliminary game. The winner Of that

when they are beaten, | can hardly
say whether II would give me more
delight to beat or to be beaten by
them.

citation would Ike. supposedly that It
may close up IT, books. An itemizcd
abatement Of all expenses incurred
since the strike was declared has been
mailed to the other islands. The Rc.
count shows that s21 ,522.65 has been
expended. that there is deficit Of
SSi7.3O in tho account mp to August
I. and that the estimated expenses
since that date have been $4,000.
The largest individual item on the
account is Sl6,594.50 for cooking ex.
penses up to August 4. The next
itrgest item is S363l for lawsuit ex-
penses, which would indicate that At.
torney Lightfoot was not prompted by
pure philanthropy in taking up the
eases of the japanese charged with
various ofenses in connection with the
strike.
There are two items of particular
interest: one of $l624.25 for miscel.
laneous expenses, and one of $l04l.40
for petty expenses. The man who made
out the account did not think it worth
while to go into particulars concern
ing these items.
Another interesting item is $930.55
for medicines and physicians bills. AS
the Higher Wage people themselves
announced, during the early days of
the strike, that Japanese doctors of
the city had volunteered their services
free of charge. il is supposed that this
money went into the till of Mr.. Ma
Siuo Higginbotham's drug store.
Merchandise cost $99S.S0. This is
in addition to the $l6,594.5O paid out
for cooking expenses.
The total. receipts are given as $27,
20535, which leaves a red letter
balance of $3l7.30.
The expenses after the 4th instant
are only estimated, but that estimate
allots $4,000 for food for 1000 men fol
ten days. This is The first time that
n claim has been made that any suct
number of men received aid after Au
gust 4. For aiding sick people, $4OC
more is put down, probably for Ma
kino ,Higginbotham' drug store.
It is also recorded that another

HAOLE KIDS GET
MAIKAI CANOE

The Outrigger Club is going to have
good canoe to go in the Regatta
with if it has to get together in mighty
force and build one. They tried to
get Doc Wall old tooth-puller, the
Black Horse. But the forceps kid
was already promised and so the club
started to hunt for svmv,uing else.
Yesterday they found one out near
Diamond Head ana II was brought over
for a trial. Rusty Brown was asked
how the canoe was, but he merely
looked wise and never said a word.
Inside information states that the
canoe is fairly good but trihe heavy.
As far as that goes, the bunch in
the Outrigger Club has hanNed it TO
the Hawaiian boys of Waikiki in the
fag.end of dugout and should be
able TO do something with this new
acquisition.
The question arises why il Is that
there was no fine new canoe built with
the eighty banonoes that were won AT
the last regatta. Hume Ford had Il

Beers 3, Marines /.
Japs 5, Dragonlets A..
The Beers had comparatively
easy thing of II with the Marines yes
terday afternoon although they surely
had to keep alive all the time. 1t
seemed to a man up tree looking
over the fence that the Marines had
n trife the shade against thcm in de-
cisions, but even if this were the case
it merely goes to show what the AID.
vertiser has taken the liberty of sug.
costing before, that two umpires are
needed for the fast style Of ball that
they are putting up at the Athletic
Park.
No umpire is perfect and people will
overlook any number of errors by the
players but, if the umpire makes the
slightest slip, Biff and off they go in
bowls. With one umpire for bases and
one for balls an entire stop would
be put to any unpleasantness of the
kind.
There were several remarkably bril-
liant plays yesterday and two Of the
double kind that are worth recording.
Tn the seventh inning of the second
game the Japs had a man on third
and only one down. Walker knocked
hot drive to Lang Akana at center
field and the latter sent it back in
time to get the base runner out at
the plate. 1t was a sweet throw and
made a loud hit with the fans.
Then in the eighth the Japs had
the bases full with only one down.
Zerbe sent hot, low drive right past
! first but Clement Akina was standing
there and, as the base runners all start
ed to romp as soon as they saw the
drive, Akina having caught the batter
out, touched the bag, putting the first
baserunner out and making a very
pretty unassisted double play.
| The official score was as follows:

HAMPTON'S HOME RUN SAVES

(From Sundays Advertiser.)
N. @. II. 8, Artillery 4.
Punahou 8, Kamehameha 5.

A really good game was the second
one at the League grounds yesterday
afternoon. From start to finish it was
snappy ball that was played and. for
many innings, the fielding was up TO
such snuff that it seemed as though
there never would be any scoring.
Up till the end of the ninth inning
the Rams had the game slowed away

An Unpleasant Incident.
T. A remarkable and somewhat unpleas.
ant incident in the eighth Of the first
game turned what looked like more
than nine-inning game into sad route
of the Artillery forces. After tying
the score and making it four all, the
Fenans allowed the Aamateurs to fill
the bases with none down.
Stallard walked man and gave
away a run and then catcher Gilcrist
missed ball. Naturally everybody be-
gan to romp and continued to do SO
. until all three men had scored. II
could not very well be seen whether
Gilcrist thought there was a ground
rule, could not see the ball or was
merely sulky and giving a fine exhi
bition of being peeved. Whatever the
cause of his action, it let in three runs
and ratified his team to the extent OF
one more so that by the time the in
ming was over the Amateurs had scored
five runs.
A Brilliant Catch.
One of the most brilliant plays o.
. the afternoon and there were severa
delightful double plays and other keeI
stunts, was great running catch by
Willie Hogs. Kaai popped foul owe
s. by the third base bleachers and Hoog
caught it running sideways, recovering
himself with remarkable agility anC
i freezing on to the ball.
Bill Hampton also did great stun
tby running to the third base line, re
,trieving near foul bunt and topplin,
over Just in time to tab a runner from
lfthird before he could reach the plate

YOUTH PASSES
8 BAD CHECKS
PAR0LED PRISONER SECURES
$500 IN THREE DAYS
At Police Station, Where Only One
Charge Is Filed Against Lad
He Confesses to Uttering
Quantity Of Paper

Eight bad checks uttered within
three days is the record of Lloyd Cole
man, Is years old, a paroled prisoner
from Whittier. who confessed yesterday
he had defrauded Los Angeles mer-
chants out of nearly 5000 by means OF
forged checks.
Coleman recently was released under
parole from the state school, On his
return to this city he went to live with
his stepfather, l.. T.. Hughes, at 40
Cornwell street
The fact that a youth of his descrip-
ton was passing bad checks was made
known to the police several days ago
when Mrs. c. h. Short of 2209 BROOKLYN
avenue notified the police that her
father. n. L. Long, had been defrauded
of $3.50 by means of a check to which
had been forged the name of f. Mont
gomery, a merchant at Eighth and
Olive streets.
The detectives were given a descrip-
tion of the youth and Detectives Nc
Namara and Cowan were detailed to
make Investigations The officers finally
found Coleman and placed him under
arrest. At that time the detectives
knew of only one case against the ae-
cused, but when they arrived at the
police station Coleman expressed his
Willingness to make a clean breast of
the matter and told them of seven
other checks he had passed.
After totaling the amounts given
them by the lad the detectives found
the boy had obtained nearly 5000 as the
result of his work of three days.
AS Coleman is under age and out on
parole from Whittier, it is probable
he will be returned to that institution
TO serve out his time.

| NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Mortimer f
| Elliott, general counsel for the Stan
dard Oil company. said today, in COM
menting for the first time on the de-
| cision against the company handed
down yesterday by the United States
circuit court at st. Paul:
Il have seen what purports to be the
text of the decree handed down by
the United States circuit court yester-
day. The company will take an ap-
peal Immediately to the United States
supreme court and will cheerfully abide
by the verdict of the highest court in
the land, whatever that may be
Arguments in this case began last
April, and We are glad to have reached
an opinion. l do not mean we are
pleased with the opinion itself, but we
are glad to get it. whatever its nature.
THE decree does not order a disso-
luton of the Standard Oil company;
that is a mistake. What the decree
orders, as | now understand il, is that
the company shall distribute among its
stockholders, of which there are ap-
proXimately 5000, its holdings in stock
of subsidiary companies. This distri-
button, l further understand, is ordered
to be effected on a pro rata basis of
appOrtionment That is to say, heaV-
lest holders of Standard Oil stock
would receive a proportional number
of shares in the stock of subsidiary
companies"
Mr.. Elliott was asked what course
the company would adopt if the YER
dict of the lower court should be up
held in the higher court.
Will Talk Later
That" he said, sis something I shall
be better prepared to discuss when l
have seen the opinion by which the
United States circuit court justifies its
Decree"
Henry Wellman, who represented the
attorney general of Missouri in that
and conducted the eXamina-
tion in New York of the officers of the
takes a view similar to that
expressed by Mr. Elliott. Ho sums up
the situation as theoretical victory"
II cannot see," he said. that any
practical effect is to be expected. 1t
seems as If the best the government
can do is to order the sale of the
property, and in that case the money,
of course, goes to the principal stocY-
holders in some form or another.
There is no confiscation, no punishr-
ment, as there would be in the case
Of criminal proceedings with the i'm

arate from their coal business, and it
Is difficult to see, even if the decision
Is upheld by the supreme court, how
the government can prevent the con-
troll of Standard Oil properties remain
ing in the same hands, even if it is
split UP into its constituent properties.
This has been the case in every
suit in which the law has compelled

Forest Fires Serious

NORFOLK, Va. Nov. 21.-Forest
fires which continue to sweep a part of
the Dismal Swamp as a result of the
unprecedented drouth are becoming
more serious daily. Hampton Roads
and the entire tidewater section of Vir-
ginia are almost completely enveloped
in smoke. Many parts of the swamp
which for many years have been under
water are dry.
