human beings could not catch yellow

mosquitoes, even though they slept IN

Not until recently, however. has it

When the insect is at rest (perched,

BASEBALL.
HOW WAILUKU Went
down IN DEFEAT
ASIATIC NINE TOO
STRONG FOR MAUI
The Honolulu Boys Won Two Games
Straight-0ne at Kahului and
Other at Waikiki.

Sam Hop and his victorious base
ball team returned from Maui this
morning on the Claudine. ana they
report having had the time of their
lives on the Valley Isle. The boys
left Honolulu last Friday afternoon
and arrived at Kahului on Saturday
morning. Most OF the players were
good sailors and suffered little from
seasickness. However, there were n
few who paid homage to Neptune
and felt better for II.
AS soon as the bunch landed at
Kahului, the train was taken for
Waikiki. and then the fun started
in earnest. Nothing was too goo
for the Honolulu visitors, and the
Maui people treated the boys to the
best of everything. A fine lunch
was partaken Of, and then the Ash
attic nine travelled back to Kahulul.
where the first match of the series
was to be played.
A big crowd went down from
Wailuku to see the game, and al
though. the rain rather fnterfered
with the attendance, the ground was
surrounded by great bunch Of en-
thusiastic rooters.
The Asiatic nine hit up one In
their first inning. one more In the
third, Ave In the fourth, six In the
NTH. two in the sixth. and. finally.
one in the seventh. Sixteen runs is
going some for sure, and It was a
real swatfest. The Maui boys scor-
ed one In their first, three In the
second, one in the fourth. and then
three in both the seventh and
eighth. Eleven runs was also go
ing some. but the Honolulu boys
held the Valley Isle lads safe, and
the game ended in glorious victory
for the Oahu team.
Then the whole party adjourned
to Wailuku once more, and that
evening there was a luau that will
long linger In the memories OF all
those who were preserx. On Sun
day morning the Honolulu team was

A tremendous crowd turned out
for the game, and parties Of fans
travelled long distances to be pres
ent. VIII Chillingworth acted as
umpire and DR.. Boot ALSO gave a
hand. When the first ball was call
ed great yell went up from the
fans, and when the Honolulu repre-
sentdtives made four runs In their
initial Inning, the Waikiki support
ers looked glum.
The Oahu lads were in scoring
humor. and they quickly added one
more In their second inning, and fol-
lowed that up with two In. the third.
In the second half OF the third, the
Wailukus made one run, and then
for Ave innings they failed to score.

PROGRAM IS NOW
NEARLY ARRANGED
YACHT NIGHT WILL
BE AT EMPIRE
Billy Kerr and Other Well-Known
Amateurs Will Do Stunts-All
Proceeds in Aid of the Hawaii

Plans for the entertainment to be
given at the Empire Theater In aid
of the expense fund for the yacht
Hawaii, which is to take part in the
transpacific race, are progressing
rapidly. and the prospects are that
when the doors are thrown open at
the Empire there will be great
crowd present.
The scheme is to have program
of aquatic films shown on the
screen. and then to have a vaude-
VILE show by amateurs, who will
strive for prizes. Some OF the best
comic singers in the city have vol
unteered for the show. and there Is
treat In store for everybody.
Tie committee is working hard
on the proposition, and so far every
thing has gone well with 1t. When
the lights are turned on at the the
alter there will be some fun that
will be remembered for a long time
to come. The committee has called
in the help Of bunch of merry
makers who have always got somt
new stunts up their sleeve. and there
Is no doubt that the audience and
performers will enjoy themselves.
One OF the star turns of the even
ing will be, a buck-apd-wing dance
by Billy Kerr. He will also do a
team stunt with another well-known
amateur performer. Those people
who have had the pleasure OF hear
ing Kerr sing comic song will be
glad to hear that he has a new top
zeal song that will simply knock
the audience from the first verse,
The song is called IT'S Me-" and
IL is said to be even funnier than
that masterpiece entitled BE as
Easy as lDu Can; and II that IL
so. there Is going TO be some real,
old-fashioned laughter at the EN-
pire on yacht night.
Most of the well-known "rooters'
will be seated in the first few rows
at the show, and they will lead the
applause In first-class style. Ban
zat' Jack Doyle will doubtless be on
hand, and he is lying awake nights
now to think up some new college
yells.
. There is some talk of having Other
shows Of the same description from
time to time, and there would seen
to be enough amateur talent In the
city to make the scheme feasible
There is more genuine fun to be got
ten out of an amateur vaudeville
show than anything else on earth
and, providing that the program II
changed often. the fund to 1T on,
the Hawaii should be MATERIAL,

Mr. Pope was enthusiastically I'm

such league. The large amount
OF athletic interest on the part of
the boys has led the association to
believe that such IA league will be
successful.
Letters have been sent to the prln-
cipals OF the following schools, ask
Ing them to cooperate In the for
nation OF this league and to attend
a meeting on Friday afternoon at
the Y. NJ. c. A. for the purpose OF
organizing such a league. The

All grammar schools OF this city
will be welcomed into the league.
The athletic meet of April 80 will
be so arranged than the younger
boys as well as the older ones will
have chance OF winning places in
the contests.
II Is hoped that this first meet
will demonstrate the value and prac-
ticability of such an athletic league
and thus lead to the formation of a
