SPORT S
FRICTION IS BAD
FEATURE IN BASEBALL

Internal friction in base ball is one
of the biggest thorns in the side of
the lovers of the sport that is to be
contended with as the game is played
in these latter days, and some view
it this squabbling among players is
going to prove dangerous to the wei
fare of base ball as long as the game
exists. for ball players are only hui
man, and as such are as prone to fol-
low out the ways of mortals as men in
other walks of life.
Certainly internal friction is keep
ing many a good team from climbing
upward at a pace commensurate with
the ability of the players comprising
the club. A little bitterness can break
up the teamwork of a whole squad.
Just by way of example, let us
take certain ball club, the name
not mentioned, and see how it works
out Jones and Smith are shortstop
and second baseman, respectively.
Both are splendid workers in their
own field. are pals and love their Jobs.
Peters. another chum of theirs, is play
ing first, and all is lovely-the team
is playing championship ball. Sudden.
ly Peters loses his eye, or something,
and can not fill the bill at first in a
way to satisfy the manager of the
fans. The consequence is that Peters
is relegated to the bench and Brown,
a newcomer, takes his place. Brown
is everything desired He is young
ambitious, fast, a hard hitter and a
wonderful guardian of the base
Naturally Peters is angry and sore
He tells his troubles to Jones and
Smith, and they sympathize with him.
"We1l get that new guy" they say to
themselves, and then see what hap
pens.
Although naturally perfect throwers,
as the word goes in baseball, Jones
and Smith seem to fall off slightly in
throwing to first They feed the new
conner now and then with a wicked
first bounce or a wide throw, which
leaves him open to danger. Brown
Smells a rat" but can't say anything
for fear of entirely losing his caste
in the games. He simply has to take
what is given him, with the result
that he loses his confidence. No long
err is he sure of a throw, and possibly
a good player is, lost to the game as

NO BASEBALL TODAY.

There will be no baseball at the
League grounds this afternoon. Dur
ing the week a special series between
the st, Louis and Punahou mines has
been talked of, but nothing tangible
has been agreed upon. At the close
of the series last Saturday the st.
Louis team stood 1000, not having
lost a game while the Punahous,
Marines and Military were tied at 500
each. It is expected that some ar
rangements may be made next week
for a final try-out between the st.
Louis Champions ana the Punahous.

OAHU 3. 3. LEAGUE.

The Athletic Park officials have
promised to prepare a statement Of
receipts from the Waseda series on
Wednesday of next week and to have
the same ready for the special meet
ing of the Oahu Baseball League
next Thursday night. There has been
considerable talk about the delay in
this business, and some of it has not
been nice; but inquiry shows that
the several postponements were JUS
titled by the circumstances and there
is probably no cause for criticism.
Keep cool.

MYRTLEs FOLLOW SUIT.

The Myrtles have followed the lead
of the Healanis and will keer only
partially open house on Regatta Day.
Special invitations will be sent out to
those who may come and partake of
the hospitality of the club, and these
ribbons must be displayed before ad-
mission will be granted. This closing
of the boat clubs to the public on Re-
gatta Day is something new here, but
the oarsmen seem to regard the depar-
ture as necessary.

ABOUT CRICKET.

Several cricketers have tried during
the week to work up a game for this
afternoon at Makil1i, and the match
has been announced, but it is doubtful
that it will come off. There is a most
unfortunate lack of cricket enthusiasm
just now, and the rain has probably
rndone the work for game this after
noon. It todays game should fall
through, another try will be made for
bit of brush next Saturday after
noon.

ster's path may have had nothing
against him personally, but they work
themselves up to such a pitch that
they finally bear him a fancied grudge,
and this crystallizes into the real
thing eventually. They are just as
eager to win as any of their mates
and do not pull off any of their queer
stunts during dangerous periods of
the game. but it undoubtedly makes
the squad much weaker and takes
away much of it's championhip posi-
bilities.
Another way to break a recruits
heart is to kill his chances, on bases.
This is a simple thing to do and can
rot be detected even by the most ex-
pert. Say the recruit gets on first by
virtue of hit or a walk. He is now
in the hands of the coacher, who
either sends him down to second on a
hit and run play, a sacrifice or goal
or makes him hold the sack If the hit
and run or sacrifice play is signaled
for his when the batter can get in
his queer play" he simply has to
make & swell bluff of trying to hit the
ball and intentionally miss it. Then
the runner is almost surely nailed by
the catcher's throw to second and
made to look foolish.
This is a simple way, and, according
to reports, often has been resorted to.
A few of these tricks and the new
conner is made to look so bad running
bases that the fans commence calling
him a dub and call out for another
change. There is no way of checking
the practice, and it is likely to go on,
in sub rosa fashion, until the call
of time. Fortunately such state of
affairs is the exception rather than
the rule. Otherwise the game would
not be able to stand up under the re-
sultant criticism.
Discordaace among players fire.
G:.emly is heralded in the press, and
it makes the average fan tired of it
all 1t is to be hoped by the fair
minded fan that last seasons politics
in the old leagues will be eliminated,
for already the public is clamoring for
sportmanship, even among the mag
mates.

WANTS HORSE RACE.

Jerry Broderick is said to have
enough confidence in his mare, Copit
to stake $500 to $500 that she will
run away with any animal in the
Territory for the three-quarters. He
wishes to make the race for the first
week in October. There is really lit
tie racing stock here now, automo-
biles having put track business to
the bad; but it is probably not impos-
sible that Copit may be given a show

MARINES TO REST.

The Marines will have a little en-
forced rest from baseball during the
coming week. In the bunch that will
go to Leihehua for target and other
practice will be most of the members
of the baseball team, putting the first
nine out of commission for the pre-
sent. The Marines expect, however,
to have some games with the Cavalry

THE COUNTRY CLUB.

There will be no games at the Coun-
try Club this afternoon nor tomorrow,
no matches having been arranged
and the links being too wet for play
ing. The club will keep open house
tomorrow, however, to members, AMI
if the weather is at all good it is ex-
pected that many will call.

CONVENTION
Continued from page 81

about the delegates, but said he wasn't
going to make it, though he had no
doubt the convention deserved all the
nice thing he would say if he tackled
the speech.
The following were named by their
respective precincts as a committee
on credentials, and then a recess was
taken to allow them to work: e. A.
Douthitt, Thos. Cummins, George p.
Denison, John Waterhouse, o. c..
Swain, A. [. Bright, C. L. Oio, Vincent
Fernandez, R. d. King, ]. H. Wise, A.
Akuni, U. N. Jones, Mark A. Robinson,
l.. K. Naone, c. Bridges, Edward Hore,
j. ]. Mundon, F. E. Greenfield, ]. H.
Travis, Eddie Marine, E. ]. Gay, w. K.
Simerson, A. S. Kaleiopu, w. H.
Thornton, Chang Chau and William
Henry.
The credentials committee reported
in favor of the delegates as listed, ex-
cept in the case of Charles Costa, who
is not in the Territory. Nihu Manu-
wal was put in his place, filling the
delegation of the seventh of the
Fourth. The Kakaako protest was
ignored. Douthitt, as chairman of
committee on credentials, explained
that those who protested had failed, at
the primary meeting, to put in written
nominations of the ticket for which
they were now contending, and there
fore under the rules of the party they
had no standing.
On motion of ]. p Cooke, the tenn
porary officers were made permanent
officers, and the convention proceeded
to a discussion of the order of bust
ness.
Some Of those present were in favor
of adjourning until Tuesday, until the
Territorial convention completed it's
work. This was opposed by Douthitt
and others, and the convention show
ed a strong majority in favor of going
to work as soon as possible.
After agreeing that the chair APP
point committees on rules and plat
form, each committee to consist of ten
members, the convention took a recess
TO two o'clock today.
Oscar Cox of Waialua offered the
following for the benefit of the plat
form committee:
"Be 1t Resolved, That the commit
tee on platform is hereby requested
to insert in the platform the following
planks, to-wit:
81. That the waterworks of Homo
lulu should be transferred to the city
and county of Honolulu, with provi-
sions to safeguard the interests of the
Territory relating to bonds issued on
account of said waterworks.
"2. That the belt road around the
island should be relocated and maca-
damized, and the principal streets in
Honolulu should be blocked or paved;
that the officers of the city and county
should be provided by the municipal
government with it's own home; that
more fire stations should be provided,
so that the Kaimuki, Manoa and Ka-

Early next week the committee APP
pointed to raise funds for Regatta Day

and the long sack About $500 will
be required for the days prizes, and it
is not thought that the committee
will have great trouble in finding this
amount.

George Crozier; Swan, by G. T. Wild
or; Dancing Sally, by Captain Reilly;
Roaring Gimlet by Bob Hendry. This

fine the race should be a bangor.
Howard Bowen already has a leg on
the trophy, and extra effort will be put
forward to keep him from getting an
other.

INVESTIGATE. INDIAN CASE.
Pennington Enterprise.

Pennington Enterprise.
Major James Mclaughlin. an inspec-
tor of the interior department of the
United States, with headquarters in
Washington, d. c., was in Pennington
early this week, having been sent
here by the Indian service to inves-
tigate matters connected with the kill
ing OF Richard Wetherill and also
charges which have been preferred
against Superintendent w. r. Shelton
and other local Indian officials by DR..
]. Mitchell Prudden OF New York City
who was here recently.
This work will probably consume
two or three weeks time. as Major
Mclaughlin will see and talk with
everyone connected In any way with
the Wetherill case and will travel
over the greater part OF the eastern
end OF the reservation.
Major Mclaughlin has been in the
Indian service for forty years. sixteen
of them as inspector. He is also the
author OF a book dealing with Indian
life entitled my Friend the Indian"
This book gives an inside history of
Indian life and character, breatbes OF
the wilderness and touches the pulses
OF a primitive life as little understood
as 1t has hitherto been little respected
by the white man. Some OF the cpl
sides are truly thrilling and there is
not dull page throughout the entire
volume.
The major is a very pleasant and
affable gentleman and a conversation
with him will convince anyone that
he knows the Indian from to 2. His
Investigation will be very thorough and
all the facts In regards to the re-
cent troubles will be dug up and re-
ported to the department by him. The

PRESIDENT TAFT'S LETTER TIC
MR.. GRlsCOM.

President Tafts letter to Lloyd C.
a most effective answer to an inflated
mass of gossip and speculation. Two
sentences are nearly sufficient for the
purpose themselves. They read:
The suggestion that | have ever ex-
pressed wish to defeat Mr.. Roose-
welt for the temporary Craftsmanship
of the tNew York Republican state)
convention or have taken the slightest
step to do so Is wholly untrue.
never heard Mr.. Sherman's name sug-
gested as temporary chairman of the
state convention until ! saw in the
newspapers of Aug 16 that he had
been selected at the meeting OF the
committee"
The president had already advised
of the state leaders with Mr. Roose-
welt was desirable, had repeated the
suggestion in telegram, and when
Mr. Sherman informed him that there
was a proposal TO oppose Mr.. Roose-
,eit for temporary chairman he had
protested against the idea of con
est and ''peremptorily declined to be
drawn into fight against Mr.. Roose-
welt"
II will be seen that Mr.. Sberman's
position is far from enviable and that
the machine leaders have blundered
as usual The presidents letter gives
complete story well fortified with
dates that displaces all the gossip and
proves that the writer Is out of sym
palhy with the reactionary movement
In New York and In sympathy with
those who are trying to give the peo-
pie a chance
The only question that has arisen
concerning It is whether the state
ment 1t contains was not too long de
iayed. AS to this, we believe that
there will be general agreement that
Mr.. Taft has done right in steadily
refusing ito admit the propriety or
necessity of the presidents replying
to newspaper statements which are
not based on any act or authorized
word of his and have no sponsor"
He cannot maintain a continual de-
bate with rumor. and Il is not In keep
ing with the dignity OF his office that
he should make the attempt. But as
the plot thickened. as the politicians
developed their schemes. as events
and the interpretations OF them null
tiplied, 1t became manifest that the
facts must come out, and OF course the
sooner action was taken the sooner
the misrepresentation would cease.
But there is no need to be particular
about this question OF time. Now that
the statement Is published. no one
can complain that It is lacking In thor
oughness.-Record- Herald.
