Men Who Can Play Half a Dozen
Positions Are Very Scarce in
Modern Ball.

Specialism is the order Of the day in
baseball. Every PLAYER seems to fl
himself to some one Job, and sticks to
that position till the crack of doom.
Of course. necessity often forces a
shift. and the man who is shifted often
finds that he can do even better in his
new position. but most players try to
remain anchored to one Job year after
year Even the utility men are spe
ciaIists today Instead of one fellow
having class enough to fill in at any
place, either outfieid or in, two are
now required, one to play the garden
and the other to take up work inside
the diamond. Queer, ana often annoy
ing to the captains and the managers.
Artle Hoffman, now playing regularly
in the outfcId was one Of the last OF
the great utility men. Holman could
play seven positions and play them all
with speed and skill So clever was
Artie in this alI-round work that he
was kept as general utility man for
wears. when he was really a better out
fielder than men who had the regular
positions Now that he is in the pas
turc for keeps. where is there another
to compare with him as a fIicr-iu of
seven places!

THE SUNRISE COURT.

A number of the larger cities
and some of the smaller towns,
both of the United States and
Canada, have adopted new sys-
tenn of dealing with arrested
DRINKS that is said to work out
very satisfactorily and which, it
would seem, might we'll be given
a tryout in Honolulu.
The new plan is in effect a
Sunrise court" at which men ar
rested the previous night for
drunkenness are tried and, where
the circumstances warrant it,
turned loose.
AS a general thing, the punish
ment for drunkenness, except in
aggravated cases or cases of ha-
bitual drunkards, is small fine.
Usually in the Honolulu police
court fine of three dollars and
costs, amounting in all to four
dollars, is imposed. In perhaps
the majority of cases the man ar
rested is able to pay the fine and
is, therefore, liberated. Some
times he is freed without being
fined.
But by the time he has had his
hearing before the police magis-
trate, it is late in the morning and
he has probably lost a days work.
The Sunrise court" would OBJ
viate this, and also relieve the ar
rested man of the notoriety of ap-
pearing in police court during the
business hours of the day. He
would appear before the Judge
and obtain his release in time to
go to work for the full day.
In Honolulu particularly the
men who are most liable to be ar
rested for drunkenness are men
whose families need all of their
wages and the loss of days
work is often a serious matter.
Not infrequently, too, man who
has, through having to appear in
police court, lost his days work,

A FARM FOR THE GIRLS.

There is no reason why the
girls that are nothered by the
government should not have
farm-at the very least garden
home as we'll as the boys so
we'll fixed and doing so we'll at
Waialee. Although the Boys In
dustrial School has outgrown its
accommodations in the way of
buildings, the change from town
to farm life has been a great sue
cess both for the boys and the
government. A like change for
the girls ought to bring equally
good results, and the government
has a wide range of choice of site
without having to buy land.
AS we'll known, the Girls In
dustrial School occupies the
buildings of the former reforma-
tory school for boys, but one-half
of the grounds was taken some
years ago as the site for one of
the big public schools now adorn-
ing the city. That portion had
been under cultivation in bananas
and vegetables from an early pc
Rod of the boys reformatory, and
had it been left for the girls in
dustrial school might in some
measure have served the purpose
now advocated. Yet the situation
is not one that can be associated
with the idea of country life, and
the soil being a shallow layer of
earth upon coral outcrop is not
easy of cultivation. The place is,
moreover, too public and too close
to the Asiatic quarter for it's pur-
pose, while the restricted con
fines of the premises are more
suggestive of a common jail than
an institution designed to afford
friendless, neglected and way
ward young girls the opportunity
of becoming adapted to respect
able and useful domesticity.

Next legislature is anticipated

1t might be little inconvenient

indigenous trees are slow grow

We are trying them on all alti-

area already has been condemned

forests by eating the under

are of parasitic growth, and I'M
