BOWEN's BATTERs
WIN ANOTHER ONE
Fort Shafter Now in Second
Place-AaIas Still Head
the List.
Riverside League Standing
Yesterdays Results.

Aalas, 6; Kewalos. 3.
Fort Shafter, 8; Palamas. l.
The last years champions of the
Riverside league came very near to
getting some of that 'Tiser stuff over
them from Lieutenant Bowen s sturdy
eroadpounders yesterday afternoon at
Aala Park. The Fort Shafter boys put
up a rafting good game of ball and
showed even more of an Improvement
IN their team work than ever.
The roadpounders victory was the
second game at Aala and both Mccall
and Lemn had already played in two
games. Yet they kept their end up
wonderfully and both played a steady
game all the way through.
Where the Fort Shafter team has a
bulge over every other team in Homo
lulu is in the coaching that Lieutenant
Bowen gives them. Before they go
on the field and sometimes between in
nings, he calls the players together and
gives them explicit instructions. He
runs over the signals, explains how any
individual weakness may be corrected
and sends his team out on the field
knowing just exactly what they have
to do and when to do it.
Both the soldiers and sailors who
attended the games at Aala Park yes
terday afternoon, handed out lesson
in patriotism that many local citizens
should take notice of. When the band
played the "Star Spangled Banner,
all the men in the service stood at
attention until the band had finished.
It was unfortunate to see that most
of the civilians present took absolutely
no notice of the national air.
The First Game.
The Aalas kept their place at the
top of the league by handing it to the
Kewalos BY to 8. The winners made
one run each in the second and third
innings. Bob Chillingworth scored first
on walk, two steals and an error by
Souza at third.
In the third inning Limahema was
safe ON wild throw by Freitas at short
and went to second on the play. Hen
nv Chillingworth sacrificed him to third
then Kaimi wet the ball and Limahema
romped.
Seven runs were made in the sixth
inning. The Aalas made four in the
first half and the Kewalos came through
with their three in the second half OF
the period.
Deponte was pitching for the Ke-
walos but he was taken out of the box
after that and Freitas took his place.
Hardee, Mederaft, Bob Chillingworth
and butler all scored for the Aalas.
This was done on three bingles, a passed
ball and general balloon ascension. :,
Souza, Josephat and Joseph scored
for the Kewa1os. They did it on two
bingles. two walks and a fielder choice
that put the batter out at first ana
allowed the runner to advance one.
The official score was:

coLoRs TO CONTINUE BRIGHT.
French MIiiiners Decide to Repeat the
Wonderful Dyes Used In the
Winter.

The milliners. who. in Paris. die
tate the range and choice of new
colors followed by the dressmakers.
have chosen to repeat the wonderful
dyes of the winter.
All the old favorites of the last six
months have found a new birth in
straw.
In green there are found the tones
known as lichen, Jade, Azoff, fir, Gobe-
lin and bottle.
In blue are again the shades of
lapis lazuli. sapphire. canard ana pea
cock.
The unripe plum color. mouse gray.
prunelle. ash. banana. bronze and old
gold are repeated in hats.
Any of these may be chosen for
street wear. and black almost leads,
It is SO popular; the green's and blues
are first in the field. Trimmed with
cabochons of straw or Ottoman silk,
then two long eagle quilts. they are
the accepted headgear by smart WON.
en- In short walking suits for morning.
There is no tendency to keep the
quilts demure in coloring. They are
painted, streaked, shaded. Colors are
rampant in them and the most vivid
and daring combinations are effected.
The result is not unpleasant. There
is 30 little trimming on these stiH
hats that the gayety Of the quilts gives
merely relieving touch Of color.
If the outlines of these hats seem a
trifle unbroken. stin or ungraceful.
much can be done by an enveloping
veil. This is now such an important
part of headgear that its role should
never be minimized. 1t can be deity
rolled out or in wherever softening
touch IL needed. and in its present
form 1t Is no less than trimming In
itself.

egg story that beats anything ever

He is the owner Of some of the nm.

One of his younger brood passed out
Of the nonproducing stage q few days
ago and began her life work. The
first egg was wonder. Not only was
it larger than any Mr.. Sands had ever
seen. but the ends were about equal.
ly rounded. Mr.. Sands decided the
egg was too large to market at the
usual price. and that he would keep 1t
for table use.
The next morning he had the young
Plymouth Rocks eggs for breakfast.
Breaking the shell carefully, Mr..
Sands found another perfectly formed
egg. This second egg was broken
and third egg of the usual Size was
revealed.

Wireless telephone stations will be
established at the top Of some high
building in New York and Boston,"
said Mr.. Stevens. I'VE expect to be
able to give a detailed account of our
trip as we are sailing through the
air.
For long ascensions or balloon
races the wireless telephone outfit
should be Of inestimable value, As 1t
will be possible to keep track of the
balloon. and in case of dfmculty, az
sistance may be quickly sent.
For government uses in dirigibie
balloons. the wireless telephone will
also be Of great aid. In accommodating
expeditions 1t would thus be possible
to give accurate information of the
operations Of the enemy In time OF
war"

Oklahoma Hermit Correct in Pre-
dieting Floods.
Railway Builders Stand In Awe Of
Him Because River Wrecks
Bridge Thrice a. He Said
II Would.

Muskogee. Okla.-Living In hut on
the bank Of the Canadian river, near
Forum, his abiding place for 80 years,
IL Pierre Davis, hermit, whose jour
nsyings In all that time have never
carried him outside of q six-mile
radius Of his cabin, and then only for
food and skins for clothing.
Davis II six feet tall, finely built
and Of commanding presence. His
great hobby, in fact his orly hobby, IL
to foretell certain events, especially
pertaining to floods. SO accurate has
he been that workmen along the Mid
land Valley railroad almost stand in
awe of the queer old man.
Three times last autumn he pre-
dicted that floods would come and
each time a deluge arrived, ON the
date he named.
While workmen were completing q
new Midland Valley bridge to replace
the one washed away, the old hermit
made his first appearance. For time
he regarded the bridge workers silent
Iy. Then he spoke to the foreman of
the gang.
you see little water in the river
bed now" he said, "but in 80 days the
foods will come and the bridge will be
carried away"
Having made his prophecy the old
hermit strobe away and the workmen
laughed at him as II he were crazy.
Exactly 20 days later the flood came.
The following day the Canadian river
swept away the bridge.
The bridge was rebuilt, and when
the workmen had nearly completed 1t
the hermit again appeared. He
prophesied that November % there
would be a 14-foot rise in the river
and that the bridge would again be
washed away. The 22d of November
the bridge was again washed away.
Four days later while workmen
were rebuilding the bridge the pic
turesque figure appeared again. Sol
EMMY the old hermit prophesied that
the following Sunday the bridge would
again 20 out. The prophecy proved
true.
Undaunted. the company again put
workmen to rebuilding the bridge,
which was completed December ID.
Before the final repairs were made
Davis made another prophecy. He
said that the hrst train would not be
run over the bridge until December
is. This prophecy also proved true.
Although the bridge was completed
December 10 there was delay In get
ting the first train over. and 1t was
not until the 18th that traffic was re-
sumed.
On every occasion Davis has fore
told the exact height to which the
river would rise. and his predictions
have been correct.
