Fishing with rod and line along the
now and promises to hold good until
the boisterous weather of the autumn
equinox.
Local rodsmen have had fair sport
with the ahalau during the past two
weeks The fish have frequented the
water near the boat landing and at
times have bitten web although in size
they have been unusually small.
Last year just as soon as the school
came into the harbor a hui of Chinese
fishermen surrounded it and melted
thousand upon thousand OF the little
fish. This state of affairs has been
prevented this year thanks to the ac-
ton of the superintendent of Public
Worke in stopping netting in the har-
Dor.
The ahalalu will probably remain
about the wharves for couple Of
weeks more and in that time they will
increase in size appreciably. After
a while the school will retire to the
middle of the harbor and remain there
abouts, until one day they will head
for the open sea and no more OF the
ahallalu will be seen in the harbor till
next August
The ahalalu or little akule are as
regular in their movements as the
migratory birds and old waterfronters
can predict their coming almost to a
day, though why they come into the
harbor and why they go to sea again,
they do not profess to know.
When the ahalalu arrives there is
fish for everybody. Old and young,
men and women, haoles, Hawaiian,
japanese and Chinese all grab a BAN
boo and a line and hook and HE them
to the wharf near which the school has
been located.
A shrimp is the best bait. As soon
as a fish has been hooked there is no
further pilikia about bait for the little

HAHALALU FURNISHED
SPORT FOR ANGLERS

morsel of brothers flesh as well as
they do anything else,
The crowd get to the fishing crowd
early and wait patiently for the fish
to commence TO move. The coming of
the school is heralded by the ruffied
surface Of the water. Just before sun
up, when the gray mist is rising from
the water the fish commence to Dite
and keep on feeding for an hour or an
hour and a half.
There may be forty fishermen in a
line andone by one, all along the line,
the poles will be jerked up and fish
after fish hauled out.
The ahalalu travel round and round
the slip and every angler gets his reg
uar visit from the hungry little fish.
1t is interesting to watch the actions
of the fishermen on getting bite.
Here boy will haul his fish out with
such force that it smashes against the
shed behind him. There an old man
who has enjoyed sport in many waters
will play the little fellow on his hook
as delcately as if it were a trout.
Out Waialae way some good catches
have been made of late. Last Sun
day "A local angler caught nearly fifty
mamamo, a game little fish, which
furnishes great sport when biting free
ly. To fish for the mamamo no lead
must be used on the line, which must
be of fine quality, A very small hook
must also be used, for the mamamo
is a timorous fish although a bold bitter
when unaarmed, A husked shrimp
is placed on the hook and the line is
cast and allowed to drift with the cur
rent. AS soon as the fish has taken
the bait the line tautens instantly. The
fish must be carefully handled after
being hooked for It's mouth is very
tender and the hook is easily jerked
out.
At a certain place on the beach at
Waialae last Sunday the paul were

were many large ones, and so bold

How Riverside Games
Were Won And Lost

A big Sunday crowd were present at
Aala Park on Sunday afternoon, where
two exceptional good games we're play
ed between the Aalas and Kewalos;
and the Fort Skaters and the Pala-
mas. In the first game the former
team defeated the Atkinson League
champions by the score of 6 to 8, and
in the second, Lieut.. Bowens aggre
cation of roadpounders won from the
Palamas for the second time in the
first series by the close score of 8 to l.
The first game started with the
Eheus at bat. There was ito scoring
by either team in the first spasm, but
in both the second and third innings,
the Aalas romped once in each. In the
second inning, Bob Chillingworth scor-
ed the first run by walk and two
pretty steals ana romped on an error
of Souza at third, who let the ball
pass him when Joseph make an at
tempt to put Bob cut.
Then in the third round Limahema
got safe on a poor throw of Freitas
from short TO first, which gave him
an opportunity to reach second. Hen
ny Chillingworth sacrificed him TO
third and Kaimi wetted the ball and
sent him home with another run.
There was no further scoring until
the sixth when Hardee, Medcraft,
Bob Chillingworth and Butler passed
the home plate. Deponte, the twirling

artist for the Kewalos led the bal
loon ascension act in this inning and
Freitas came to the rescue in the sew
cnth.
Souza, Joseph and Joseph scored the
only runs for the Kewalos in the sew
enth. There was no scoring after this
and the game ended with another vic
tory for Hoopii's men.
FORT SKATER VS.. PALAMAS.
The Fort Skaters scored another
victory over the PaIamas in the sec
end game For five innings, neither
team managed to send a man across
the plate and everyone was expecting
an extra inning game, but in the sixth,
the roadpounders came through with
two runs. Santen got first by being
hit by the pitcher and Strauss sacri-
feed him to second. Mccall bingled
Santen to third and Lemn sent both
Santen and Mccall in with a pretty
hit to centerfield.
The Palamas made their only run
in the eighth. Bolster bingled and did
the burglarizing act twice. Kuali1
then came in with a timely bingle
which sent Bolster in.
Gongol romped in the ninth inning
for the Skaters. This made the score
3 to in favor of Lieut. Bowen's team
and as there was no scoring by the
Palamas in the ninth, the game ended
as above.
