Washington Team Puts 1t All Over TWo-Time
Winners, but Loses Shutout in the Last
Inning of Game.

pitching fine game, but because he was
not getting support and it was thought
that a new man might change the luck
and get better backing. Schaeffer, the
first -baseman, took his place and ,,lu
much better; in fact, they did not get
single hit off him. Daniels died, but
Mannion walked and went to second on
balk, stole third and went home on a
wild throw by the pitcher.
In the second half of the ninth inning
there were two down and everybody Was
getting ready to leave when Schaeffer
let out lovely bingle and stole second.
Then Synder made a two-bagger and
Sehaeffer romped. Snyder tried to get
to third but was out.
Schaeffer has most astounding fade
away ball that is marvel Every time
he let it 60 the batter would swat at it
but, while his bat was tanning the air,
the ball would hit his feet 1t is a
peach, and aroused much enthusiasm
from the West Virginia IS supporters

The West Virginia raction states with
proper emphasis that there will be a
very different exhibition next time they
play the Washington team, the which
was, of course, properly jeered at by
, the Washingtonians, who formed on the
street with the band at their head and

wind up the holiday. In this the COM
mittee mas planned grand ball and as
sembly at the Moana Hotel on Satur-
day night, at which all the prominent
people of the city will attend, and from
all accounts nearly all the officers OF
the visiting feet.
Extensive as well as expensive prepa-
rations are already under way; deco
rators are busy, costumers are looking
around, and, in fact, everybody is on
the move. This viii be one grand at

days, the regatta ball was of as much
importance as the races themselves.
The Myrtle girl in her pretty red silk
and the Healani girl in hers of blue,
could be seen in all their splendor glid-

MAUI AND OAHU
PLAY POLO TO-DAY
Hawaiian Championship to Be
Decided on MoanaIua
Field.

The polo game today will be be-
tween the Maui and Oahu teams. It
will be played at Moanalua grounds
and it will start at 8 o. clock promptly.
There will be six periods. time taken
out, no off-side rule.
There will be some large excitement
when the two teams start playing.
Both of them are well up to the form
of any team in the world, and while
this may seem like an exaggeration,
when the class of the ponies, the fit
ness of the riders and the excellent
team work that is used, is seen even
the most ultra-critical person will agree
with the statement.
The Oahu team has won all it's games
this season, all against the Fifth Cav
airy team. Two of them by large mar
gins and one by the very narrow one
of four goals all and one foul against
the Cavalry team. Last Saturday the
visiting Mauinese players slipped it to
the Cavalry bunch but did not shut
them out, the losers scored three goals.
From the "dope' therefore, it is
impossible to pick a winner for today
or even to find anybody who will ex-
press an absolute opinion. The Maui
people have great advantage over the
| Oahu bunch in that they live in the
saddle. They all work on plantations,
either as mill -managers or head lunas
and, when they want to go anywhere
| they walk out of the office and sling
| their legs over horse.

slant practise and the game is played
and patronized by the Baldwins who
have the means and the willingness
to allow no expense to stand in the way
| of having the team frst-class in every
| way.
! Also the Maui team has slightly the
| better of it in ponies. The Oahu
| ponies are not to be sneezed at but
i the visitors have larger choice and
| their ponies have gained from con
| slant practise.
Against this the Oahu bunch ha:
only keenness, innate ability and thai
inexplicable something which makes
| all people, who work in offices, good
athletes when they go after game

j, team and one Fleming on each team

This game is for the final champion

and Oahu teams have defeated the
| Fifth Cavalry and now they are going
| to scrap it out between themselves
| The Hawaiian Polo Association is a
| great expense to bring the Maui team
over here and to give the polo dance
which will take place at the Moana
Hotel tonight. A nominal charge OF

to see the game and, compared witt

to and the unrivaled excitement OF
the game in the watching of it, this

REGATTA DAY
TO BE REVIVED

After years of strenuous effort on the
part of many of the members Of the
two boat clubs of Honolulu, and the
apparent lack of attention from the
port-loving public to the many excel
lent contests that have been pulled off
from time to time in the harbor, things
are beginning to take shape, and from
now on, till Saturday, everything IN
sportsdom must take back seat to
make way for the Healani and Myrtle
events. That the harbor and docks will
be crowded goes without saying, and
once again the real old time Regatta
Day will have full swing. The handling
of these events falls upon a committee
from the two clubs. and it is their duty
to see that every feature in connection
with a gala day of this kind is care
fully planned out.
There will be the many different
kinds of races, the usual pretty lunch

NUMBERING MINISTER
IS STILL MISSING

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 10.-Motive for
the killing of Gideon Browning,
whose dismembered body was almost
completely burned in the Battle Run
church stove, is still lacking. Rev. ].
II. Carmichael, the missing minister.
was reported last night and today to
have been seen in Wisconsin and In
diana. The report that he was car
rying $4,000 of insurance has proved
incorrect. He had only $4,000 of in
surance, and it is said part of this
was fraternal and void in case of
suicide.
One development was that shortly
before the murder the minister had
ordered all the lamps of the church
filled with Oil. 1t had been customary
to use only part of the lamps, and
those not used regularly had not been
filled for long time. His directions
were followed, but since the murder
the oil has been found to be low in
many of the lamps. AS the lights had
not been used at all in regular SER
vice since the last filing, the theory
has been advanced that oil from the
lamps was emptied into the stove to
hasten the cremation of the body of
Gideon Browning.

the constitutional Ottoman empire to
this country, brings to America.
Enthusiastic over the conditions
which have given his country a con-
sttutional form of government, the
new ambassador, who arrived yester-
day, will endeavor to convince
America that his nation has formed
into new and permanent era of
prosperity,
The people in Turkey We're so ready
for the constitutional form of gov
ernment that the ease with which thew
procured it has astonished the world"
stated Kiazim Bey to a representative
of the Associated Press today. $50 it
is that the political and religious diff
ferences between Greek and Bulgarian,
Armenian and Jew, Christian and Mo-
hammedan were swept away, and we
are a happy family, looking forward
to accomplishing peace and prosper
ity.'

a barrier between him and his peo-
Pile. -.
"The sultan he said, mot only in
vited the whole membership of the
parliament, consisting of about 300, to
the palace to dine, but also mingled
with his guests in a democratic and
unusual manner"

perienced diplomat, having been for 10
years minister at Roumania.

Baltimore, Jan. 10.-Concerning the
recent sentence of himself and other
officials of the American Federation
of Labor, Samuel Gompers today said .
The granting OF the injunction and
the sentence imposed by Judge Wright
were grossly unjust and not even a
judge nor his sentence can put stig-
ma upon my colleagues nor myself,
nor make criminals of us. The injus-
tice of it is shown by the fact that
the very things we are forbidden to do
every other citizen has the right to
do, and it is this that we are protest
