WHAT FANS SAYS Of
BASEBALL STATUS
BY A BASEBALL FAN.

Edwin Fernandez-It is all very well
to seel peanuts and cracker jack but
when team is playing game into
the nineteenth inning, / do not think
you could keep me in harness. | had
to laugh at Lau Tang He walked
around the field after having returned
from his dinner and thought the sec
ond game was in it's fourth inning;
and when told it was the fourteenth
he literally went up in the air like
man practicing calisthenics. He was
certainly a whole performance.
Ed. Townsend-I certainly feel proud
of our showing last Sunday. Win or
lose the teams put up fine article
of ball, in fact as good as could be
seen anywhere on the islands. l be-
lieve that the people who attended did
not regret their dimes, as l have heard
it said on the streets over and over
again, TT is the best games l have
ever seen in my life" | wish to say
that it is the biggest ad. the Park
has ever had, as the papers next day
were sent to Philadelphia and Cali
fornia by a friend of mine. 1t also
acts as promotion work for the ISL
ands. These games will long be re-
membered.
The Illustrious Paul Burns-When l
saw Ed. leave the soda and peanut
stand and knew he was staying away
too long, let go everything and when
| saw the game vending it's way into
the fifteenth inning, nothing but a
pair of elephants could have taken me
off that ball field, believe me. At ev-
cry inning | thought we would be the
victors, for my team had men on
third base for about five times and a
little hit would have meant victory;
but alas, the umpire would say "strik-
err out''-and then we would take the
field. That kept up until it was al
most quarter to seven; but let me
say have never seen the like of that
eventful game.
John Silva Vice President Kapiolani
League certainly must say I have
never seen a game like that nineteen
inning last Sunday. If the Oahu Lea
que keeps Up that article of ball, it
will be "the" place in Honolulu where
thousands more will go. Just one word
let me tell you There are few
knockers in Honolulu who think they
know the rules, but let me tell you
one thing and that is not two, that
McHenry is the greatest umpire that
has ever handled an indicator on the
Hawaiian Islands, and l am proud OF
the officers of the league who told
hiln that he would be protected and
that he must not take back talk from
any of the players. This is the key tc
success in baseball.

Holidays That Come on Sunday.

Young America has cause for griev-
ance because many of the holidays
this year fall OH Sunday, and are
marked in a bright red on the calen-
dar for the first day of the week. In
dependence Day-July Fourth - the
day of all days, with it's boom of an
wills, it's fire works and it's big celebra-
tions, falls on Sunday. Of course, it
will be celebrated ahead of time or it
will be postponed for day, but it
won't be just the same. But st. Val
entine's Day starts the trouble, COM
ing on Sunday, February l4th. Then
comes Memorial day. Sunday, May
30, and then the Glorious Fourth!
Washington's Birthday barely misses
Sunday. being OH the following day,
February 22nd. The first day of
spring isn't Il holiday, but it comes Oh
Sunday. March 81; Halloween comes
on Sunday, October 81, and on Sum
day, December II, there is an eclipse
OF the sun. With several church hol-
idays, such as easter and Palm sun
day, coming the first day of the week,
the year 1909 seems to have given the
primal day of the week unusual recog-
milton.

American Sports From
 Across ZHe Big Waters
By RICHARD DAHLGREN.

London, February 7.-Much interest Is felt in the match which has been ar ranged by the National Sporting club veteran, Jack Johnston, the heavy weight champion, and Sam Langford, the other hard hitting American negro. The bout is set for May "A, and is for a purse of $6O00, two thirds to the winner. The men are to fight 20 rounds. Johnson has sailed from Aus tralia for London and his fight with Langford will be his first battle since he won the championship.
 American horses have drawn top weights in the rich handicaps to be raced for on the English turf this sea son. James R. Keene's Ballot holds the top-notch figure, and will have to pack 129 pounds in the Great Jubilee event to be run on May 8. Priscillian, from the Belmont stable, will carry 124 pounds. and then comes A. Barclay Walkers horse, Llangwm, carrying the same weight as Priscillian. Liangwm and Your Majesty, J. B. Joels horse en- tered for the big stake, are figured as the best in England It can be seen from the weight schedule that the American horses are feared by the Eng lishmen.
 If the threatened crusade against rac
 ing should assume formidable propor
 tions in England, which is not regarded as probable, any adverse legislation
 will strike snag in the house of lords. Investigation shows that three dukes, four marquises about 30 earls, three
 viscounts and a round dozen of barons have their coors registered and in the list are some of the most infiuen- tial of the peers of the realm.
 It takes hard work to be a champion oarsman. If you don't believe it, com
 municate with Richard Arnst, the worlds champion, who is expected to come to London from his Australian home this season
 He is a glutton for work during training. He gets up before o'clock in the morning, and, after tea and dry toast goes for a fivemile walk. He keeps up the pace, and climbs stiff 1 hill if possible. Breakfast consists of of underdone steak, and more dry toast and tea There Is then an hours rest before Arnst does three or four miles sculling with an occasional sprint with his trainer.
 A light lunch Is taken, and an hour | later Arnst rows over the full course he | is to race on He then has three-quar- | ters of an hours massage, which is | following by dining. About half past
 seven at night Arnst winds up his day

and that Is the purse. If if ,s hir enough, Jeffries will fight Johnson or Langtord, or anybody else
 Tn the meantime tho ere are other fighters anxious to get into the lime lisht ana rake off big purse. Among these IS Stanley Ketchell, who has taken his pen in hand and dashad oss his views of the situation as foiIo,,s T had made up my mind befora tha Burns-Johnson fight never to fight colofed man. Now that the great bulk or the American sporting public seems to be incensed over the fact that John- son is the recognized champion. I am thoroughly willing to fight him. But al lother negroes I will bar. The fact that l am willing to fight Johnson is proor positive that the talk of my be- ing afraid of Langford is all bosh.
 T am the middleweiglft cbampion of the world; Langford is the heavyweight ana ne has not beaten any of the men mat 1 have Looking over Langford's all other negroes I will bar. The fact performance he has done Is his ability 10 beat such fellows as Jim Barry whom 1t took 39 rounds for Kaufman 10 peat In Los Angeles. I would have beaten Jim Flynn in the same iig time mat Langford did. I am tired of hear ing about Langford and his challenging. Let hlm go against the middlew eights nave In the meantime, as long as the public is looking for a champion to fight Jack Johnson, I will be ready when they call upon me. Not wishing to knock anybody or anybody's preten- sions, l know in my heart that I am the only logical opponent for Jack Johnson.
 T made up my mind some time ago to bar negroes, but as long as there Is great demand for somebody to wrest the championship from the black. I am willing to take the chance, and if [ fight Langford then the others who are pretending championship ability will have to fight 1t out amongst them- selves. l have assurances. private and personal, that Johnson will give me a match. He can cut the money any way he desires. In the meantime, all of the other challenges I have heard about from the other heavyweights are jokes to me except Jim Corbett's. Corbetts showing in the last few years, when everybody expected he was out of the game for good, entitle him to consid- eration. You never know what a fel- low of the Corbett stripe can do. In the meantime, however, I feel that 1t takes a strong, husky fellow with a wallop in either hand to bring the championship home where it belongs
