A bunch of crapshooters were fined

terday. They were looked after by At

the evidence had shown that the young
fellows were guilty beyond doubt,
Mr. Chillingworth washed his hands of
the matter, stating that his clients had
absolutely misrepresented their case to

One bunch which Chief Leal and his
men raided on the Asylum road Sunday
was chased all over the surrounding

where he stuck in the mud. Mich
yelled to another officer to watch the

him, and finally brought him to the
ground, and returned in triumph with
his prisoner.

GEORGE WINS
HIS DOLLAR

George Hernandez tells a good story
about the seventeen-inning game be-
tween the Marines and NJ c. H. last
Sunday. He weht to Aala Park with
friend who suggested a small wager
on the first game. George took a
guess and chose the Aalas. He lost
his dollar.
Then his friend gave him the pick
in the next game. and George took
the n. G. H. team. In the first of
the second inning the Guards made
two runs. and Georges friend handed
him over a dollar, saying: law, take
your money: this is going to be a
walkover. I'm not going to stop to
watch this Afterwards he was
greatly surprised to hear that the
game had gone seventeen innings and
that the Marines had come very near
to winning.

EVA IS STILL
IN THE LEAD

Waialua again received theirs from
the Eva "Kandy Kids last Sunday,
on the Eva diamond, being showed
under by a score of Is to 2.
The whitewash purchased by Aehieu
was dangerously in evidence for the
Waialuas up to the sixth, for it was
not until that spasm that the visit
ing contingent got a man past first;
in fact, not a man reached first for
FIVE innings.
Clark pitched a fine game for the
Ewas, and was ably seconded by Fer
nandez behind the bat. The Waialua
boys did not play with any smoke at
AFT. This makes the third defeat in
succession from the Handy Kids
scores, 5 to 4, u to s, IL to (which
clearly proves that Waialua had no
claim to be considered champion
team last year.
The Mizuho (Japanese) team from
wafalua defeated the EVA japanese
in a fast game by to 5, the excel
lent pitching being the cause of this
defeat. The Waialua pitcher plays
with the league.
The -Waianae game, to have
been played at Eva. is postponed till
a later date owing to the labor prob
lem at Aiea.

There will be no relay race on June
II. The Punahou team is out of it on
account OF Bill Desha s sprained ankle
and one or two of the Others are not
quite in physical condition to run, owing
to minor injuries Kamehameha closes
on June so that there will be nobody
to run against High School and the
race is therefore Off
The M. D. A. is getting along very
nicely. There are some ten enthusiast
tic members who get down to the boat
club nearly every morning. There is
also hui Of Hawaiian boys who make
the Channel wharf shed their bath
house and do wonderful stunts from the
high dive. One of these lads about
twelve years old, jumps off backwards

Tomorrow s interscholastic games will
be Saints VS.. Punahou at Alexander

wins this game they will be certain OF

Only a landslide can now keep the
Punahou team from winning the inter
scholastic series. If the Rams win
their next game and the Puns lose both
theirs then they will be tied with five
win one more game, they will have the
championship by good margin.
The Saints have yet to play the runs
once and, from the point of view of a
man in khe bleachers, this should be
an easy one for the Oahu players. But
then you never can tell what will hop
pen. Those Saints are liable to buck
up and win their next two games in the
same way that Punahou did and then
we are liable to see a continuation of
the series while the Kams and Puns
play off the tie.
1t was a good game at Alexander field
yesterday afternoon. The weather was
particularly delightful. A clear sky
with enough breeze to make it cool but
not enough to bother the players and
there was quite large crowd out to
! enjoy the game and the sunshine.
The Rams won their game in slap
bang style with thirteen hits, many of
them, unfortunately, scattered where
they could not do much good. The High
School made their two runs in the third
inning and it looked for time as
though they were going to have the
game, but it was not to be.
Who Is That Hoodoo?
Doe Monsarrat, whose sympathies are
naturally with the High School, has his
own ideas on why the game was lost
He states that there is a hoodoo who
comes around just about the time that
the High School is ahead and that the
hoodoo pulls them back from victory
to defeat Nor does he make any bones
about who is the hoodoo. He names d
certain Advertiser representative whose
mild duty it is to write up baseball
games. To tell the truth it looks as
though the genial Doe were quite
right, Judging by the last two games.
There was no scoring until the third
inning when the Mckinley players
scored on a series of errors. Koulukou
died, Rice walked but was out stealing
second Then Hoe was safe on Kamai
opili IS error, stole second and went tC
third on Milikaa s bad throw. Akana
then made wild pitch and Hoe prompt
