MAY BE A CONTEST
Of the Prohibition Election Held In
Hardin County Friday.

Beaumont, Texas, July 9.-The local
option, election held in Hardin county
today resulted in a vote so close that
it will probably require a suit at law
to determine which side has won. Re-
turns from correspondents throughout
Hardin county tonight covering every
voting place in the county give a to-
tai of III for prohibition and 705
against prohibition. At the head
quarters of the anti-prohibition forces
in So hike it is stated that the
anus siaTs Won BY vote Of 6ss for
to 7O7 against They are unable to
point out the discrepancy in the de-
tail vote and rely merely on the total
figures. The vote in detail shows
that Silsbee went wet by vote of
SO to rs; Kountze went wet by a vote
of 100 to Al; Sour Lake went dry by
a vote of 1877 to ITO; Batson went wet
by vote of 81 to 80; Olive was pro
by vote of A to 10. There is no
doubt that a contest will be filed, and
owing to the close vote it will be
idle to speculate as to which side has
won.

Mr.. ROCKEFELLER'S GIFT
Increases His Donation to the General
Education Board BY 100000.
Withdraws Restriction.

New York, July 9.-John D. Rookie
Teller today increased his donations
to the General Education Board by a
gift of $10,OOO,000, and also released
the board from the obligation to hold
in perpetuity the funds contributed by
him. The donation, announced today
by Frederick T. Gales, chairman,
brings Mr.. Rockefeller's donations to
the board to $52,00O,0OO. Today's gift
was contributed, according to the
statement made by Chairman Gales,
because the income of the present
fund available for appropriation had
been exhausted, and a larger income
to meet educational needs of great
Importance had become necessary.
Mr. Rockefeller's action in empower
ing the board and its successors to
distribute the principal of funds con-
tributed by him upon the affirmative
vote of two-thirds of its members was
said to be taken in consideration of
the possibility, now remote, that at
some future time the object and pur-
pose of the Rockefeller foundation
might become obsolete. Under the
original conditions imposed, the fund
would have to continue in perpetuity,
regardless of whether demands for its
continuation existed or not

SERIES BETWEEN JAPS AND
SAINTS IS ALL ARRANGED
Seven Games Will Be Played, Starting Week
From Sunday---Fans Are One
and All Enthusiastic.

While this was going on the big
league had an abortive attempt at
starting a new series. The st. Louis
team wiped the earth with the rest
of the bunch and clearly proved that
they had the champion team of the
Islands.
Since the sad ending of that series
the Japs have been doing great stunts
down at the Athletic Park. They have
won some nine games straight and have
a double battery that is pippin.
I. Japs Won Too Soon.
The Japs won the second series of
the Oahu league long before the SEIZED
ule was pau. This got the fans to
thinking and again arose the roar for
a series of games between the big
league and the juniors. This noise
grew to be so very loud that the mat
ter was taken up.
Jack Motley was approached. He
said that he was a trifie nervous over
the proposition. "This is our first real
season. said he, ''and I do not want
to go into a series and make a fzzle
of it," But he was finally persuaded
and now it is all arranged that the J.
A. C. and st. Louis College team will
play a series of seven games at the
Athletic Park, starting at three o'cloek
on Sunday, December u.
No More Soothing.
The seoffers are no longer seofing.
They are taking the matter seriously
and beginning to think that the Japs
have a chance. They really have a
chance to beat the Saints. But they
will have to train faithfully and work
hard Here is the aggregation they are
up against:
Louie Soares, C; Johnnie Williams, p;
George Bruins, 1b; Jimmie Williams
(captain), 2b; Fl. Bushnell, BIB; Manuel
Freitas. IS: Harry Bruins, If: En- Sue,
eff; Markham or Henry ChiIlingworth,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-12-01

Here is something to make all the
fans buck up. It is practically settled
that the big series between the Saints
and the Japs will come off at the Ath-
letic Park. The series will be one of
seven games and it will start one week
from Sunday, December II. There will
be lust one game each afternoon and
it will start promptly at three O'Clock.
There has been some pilikia over al
ranging the series, but everything IS
settled now and all that remains Is
the signing of the agreements This
will be done today at noon.
Without exception this will be the
greatest baseball series ever seen on
these Islands. For years there has
been an undercurrent of argument as
to what the junior leagues could do
with the big league. The only ones
who argued for the affirmative side of
the question, were few over enthu-
siastic officers of the Riverside or At
kinson leagues.
The other people always poked their
noses in the air and made noise like
<'Pshaw'' or "Umph' and, 10 mat
ter how hard they tried to arrange
meeting between teams from the two
leagues. nothing ever came of it.
Situation Has Changed.
But the baseball situation has
changed during the last year. The big
league went to the bad owing to mani
ton. drvrot. lack of interest, players
not turning up on time, con, bother
fine nublicn and a few other things
that tend to kill league.
Meanwhile bunch of live ones got
together and started the Athletic Park.
This new institution filled long-feif
want. It provided a place where all
4he Iapanese. Chinese and Hawaiian
fans could go and watch good game
and have a comfortable bleacher to
sit on and also provided a good grand
stand for the upper ten.
Four Good Teams.
Four excellent teams were formed
and thew proceeded to put up a hne
line of baseball The first series OF
the Oahu Baseball League was one OF
the greatest exhibitions of the game
ever seen here The class of ball may
not have been quite up to big league
standard. but is was good and all the
games were very close
The Beers. otherwise known as the
Kalihi team. forged ahead from the
start. But they got stopped before the
finish. The japanese Athletic Club,
formed several wears ago for japanese
,9l9vers ONLY and later made cosho-
nolitan team. suddenly began to get to
the front. At the beginning of the
season they were way behind, but enter
one Jack Motley.
What Motley Did.
Jack Motley was the manager OF the
J. A. c. team. He began to do seine
hanahana and soon had a real hase-
ball team playing, Before the fans
knew what had happened they had slip,
ped it to the whole bunch and carried
off the champ onship of the first series,
after a most exciting game.

SOCCER To HAVE
4 GREAT BOOM
Executive Committee Meets to
Approve Long List of
Players.

Soccer is apparently on the boom.
of the executive committee of the soc
Ger league at the Thistle clubrooms last
night All the members of the commit
tee were there, as well as all the cap
tains of the four teams.
Lists of signed-up players were pre-
sented and the list is jolly good one,
Each of the four teams has a brilliant
bunch Of ballkickers on their string
and it looks as though the series of
this season would be very much closer
than that of last year.
Soccer, while not having the intense
interest which attaches to an intercol-
legiate game, is essentially scientific
game and sportsman game. The
playing is all open and clever plays can
be seen and recognized Immediately by
anybody who has ever seen the game
before.
1t is hoped that the public will give
the game its support. Not much is
wanted in the way of gate receipts,
only sufficient to pay the expenses OF
getting the grounds in shape, provid-
ing ear fare for the players, putting
out uniforms to play in and a few
other essentials. AS far as the players
are concerned, they are quite willing
to dig in their own jeans for this
money, but they put up such really
pretty exhibition, that the fans should
get the soccer habit for about a month
and go out and do some good roofing.
Bedford Game a Boost.
The game was given a great boost
here by the splendid game that local
picked team put up against the crew
of the British cruiser Bedford. The
game was a pippin and was attended
by several hundred people. If those
same people would come out and watch
the league series, they would have
plenty of fun.
People here seem to have the idea
that soccer is a game that does not
require roofing Far from that. a soc
Ger player can be more encouraged by
roofing and hearing his name called
than, perhaps any other game. In in
tercollegiate football, all player hears
is a confused roar. In soccer he has
a chance to hear his name and becomes
correspondingly bueked up.
Roofing is Wanted
There is nothing mira dig. about
roofing at a soccer game. In England
where the game has its very best ex-
position, the sidelines are always
crowded by gallery gods who pick out
their favorites and acclaim their names
to heaven. often with the most subtle
sense of humor A little more noise
at the games will do no harm. There
are dozens of bleacher humorists who
could air their art to great advantage
at these games. They are wanted out
there to make excitement.
There was some excellent work done
in this way at the last game between
the local team and the Bedford. john
nv Anderson had a duel with q sailor
on the bleachers. Both men were very
funny and amused the spectators. The
PLAYERS liked to hear a noise and APP
preciated the efforts of the rooters.
All the s0ccerites are practising hard.
They will be in frst-class shape for
the opening games on Saturday. De

Builders Busy At Carney Poiut

The removal of the powder plant from
Oakland to Carney Point is making extra
work for masons and carpenters, by the
erection OF a dozen or more new build
ings. Some of these are being made of
brick. The Company has sent away for
a machine to make cement brick out of
the river shore sand. :
Clay and brick were made over a hun
dred years ago from a clay pit on Carney
Point, mentioned in an old deed and it
is most probable that the old brick man
sion house torn down about twelve years
ago was made OF brick manufactured on
the premises.
Most of the hundred and more build
ings on Carney Point are made of erect
barn boards or of sheet iron. Experience
is showing that the large amount OF sui
phuric acid is eating up the sheet iron
from the buildings as we'll as the teeth of
the workmen.
Tie making of smokeless powder is
getting beyond the experimental stage,
as no serious accidental explosions have
happend for ten years. Consequently,
more substantial buildings will most
| probably be erected in the future.
