TEAM To HAVE
TRIP To MAUI
Great Time for Ball Players
Arranged for Coming
Holidays.

All aboard for Maui That is what
the baseballites are saying just now
and they come pretty near being right
Sam Chillingworth in conjunction with
his Benedict brother Bill on Maui and
several other of the live ones, have
arranged one of the most unique and
attractive trips that ever happened.
Here is how it is going TO be. On
Friday, July 2, the bunch viii leave
on the Claudine and arrive in Kahului
the following morning. That is provid-
ed they do not hang Captain Bennett
TO the yard arm and scuttle the ship.
Then they viii be put ashore and gwen
one of those Maui receptions, which
means Come along boys and make
yourselves at home. Wash if you want
to and then eat breakfast
After that there will be a game be-
tween picked Maui team and the vis-
ltors. The Mauinese players have got
together hard bunch and it may be
that our Oahus viii take the white
wash, but they will have a good time
~ Juol lLS SAINT
On Saturday morning another hard
bunch, all the boys who cannot get
away from work to catch the Claudine,
will leave on the Mokolii and will ar
rive In Kahului some time that night.
Then the whole jiggamaree will close
down on Waikiki where there viii be
festivities and perhaps some speech
making. Jim Williams is scheduled TO
tell Chow / took that picture. En-
Sue will sing II learned to steal a
base when | was two years old, - and
everybody else will join in with some
thing appropriate.
On Sunday there will be another
game between the visitors and the pick
ed team, this time on the Waikiki
diamond. Early Monday morning the
whole gang will pile aboard the Mo-
koln and be taken over TO Molokai,
landing at Kaunakakai
As soon as they arrive drove of
bounding bronchos viii be brought
along and the ball-swatters will be
turned loose for a ride around When
they come back they will be led to a
luau and after that there viii be an.
other ball,game. Oh, what fat chance
they viii have after riding horseback
and feasting at a Molokai luau.
Then, when all the ball game is over
there will be horse races until dark.
Finally the visitors viii be bundled on
to the Mokolii again and sent back to

POLO

The Oahu polo team win play the
Fifth Cavalry next Saturday at Lei
lehua.
Out on the field where the white chalk
lines
Run close to the siding boards;
Where the hard-hit bali lofts high to
fall
And the ponies. feet are hordes,
Where the players bound to the leath-
er's creak
And the sound of a captain IS blame;
He has missed a fair swing. but he s
still on the wing
And he's playing that polo game.
When number one rides off to a miss
And number three comes through,
When he catches the sphere to run
away clear
And the ball runs low and true,
When the others defense, all taut and
Is passed like lost refrain,
We are carried away on old Memory g
sway
To the days of our youth again.
Back to those gaudy days of youth,
To the shade of Trumpingdon road,
To the clatter of feet on Silver street
As we edged some market load;
70 the clinging scent of the slumb r
ing Backs,
To the dust of the entrance lane,
An undergrad cub with a borrowed
club
Oh, it carries you back again.
The hard, strong smell of the winter
fields
And the warning to "ware the wheat, -
The draw of the flask to the master 5
task, -
And the drive of the scent death sleet;
The window screwed meath a lofty lid
And the set of the latest - breeks -
All tingling with life, with good cour-
age rife,
Though we may have been youthful
freaks.
The hum Of the Piecadilly wilds.
The froeker that fits like a glove,
The parade IN the Park and the call
after dark
On our danseuse puppy love
The roar Of the serum in the County
game.
And the thrill when you We scored
try:
Oh, it sings you song of before you
went wrong,
When You knew not the taste OF a lie.
So come out to see the polo game.
It IS good as the breath OF the wind,
1t is clean as the day ere the serpent
held sway.
And our first forefather had sinned.
And, if I should stand rather sadly,
Don t worry about NE I pray,
1t is Memory cali to the lift of the
ball,
And the thrust Of a past. dead day.

Sport Notes
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Bull Perrine is umpiring in the
American League. Bull used to play
in Honolulu. Then he was graduated
to the Pacific Coast League as an UNI
pire and retained his name because he
would take Bull from nobody He has
great way of showing on the sky
scrapers of his hands whether he has
called strike or a ball and that is
where he has made a great hit with
the Eastern fans Also he is fair.
Also he stands for no monkey business.
Also he is a good umpire Also we
are proud of him in Hawaii.
sS ~ .S
Jack Doyle suggests that this Frank
lin be given a chance with young Mel
SON in one of the preliminaries on the
night of July 3. Jack has made a
live noise here and IT should be at
tended to. Young Nelson has had no
chance recently. He and Franklin
would put on hummer. Mr.. Cohen,
please take notice.

DISCOVERS NEW FLEA.
Or. Carroll Fox of Philadelphia Finds
Six Toothed Blind Speeies


To Philadelphia, DIR. Carroll Fox.
has fallen the distinction of being the
discoverer of a new species of flea, and
entomologists throughout the world
are much interested in it, not only be-
cause of its novelty, but because the
discovery is so closely allied to the
fight against the bubonic plague, which
was prevalent for several months in
San Francisco. DIR. Fox is with the
marine hospital service in that city, be-
ing sent there to investigate the ways
In which the plague is transmitted.
1t was finally discovered, after pains
taking experiments, that feas on the
bodies Of'rats infected with the plague
were the mediums of transmission to
human beings There followed a war
fare Of determination against the rO-
dents.
Pursuing his investigation, much Of
which was, Of course, accomplished
with a microscope. he discovered the
hitherto unreported specimen of flea.
He found it to be without eyes and
having a row of six teeth. Instead Of
being black, as is the ordinary well
known variety, this new insect is a
light brown. 1t is quite as vOraciOus
as other members of the same family,
but is capable Of much higher leap.
DIR. Fox has not named the species, a
privilege which is his as the discOverer.
