eyes, with whom we have to do.
Hundreds of men and women
have worked willingly and glad
ly for days and nights to make
complete and to finish up schemes
for the welfare of the poor at this
time. 1t is really marvellous the
almost endlesss amount of work
that has been carried into execu-
ton.
These men and women of Ho-
nolulu are inventors for God the
Saviour, more especially at this
especial time of the year-that is
to say, the end of the old, and the
beginning of the new year. They
are prominently, inventors at all
seasons, for the spiritual as well
as the material welfare of others
about them-their neighbors.
We are glad to relate that they
are not inventors in the sense
of that mighty inventor and sci
enlist for whom God has done
so much in mental gifts, and who
in turn, turns and dishonors his
Creator and his Saviour, by mate
rial and atheistic suggestions.

THE EDITORS FEW BRIEF
NOTES.
Two nights before the coming
in of the glad New Year there
was indeed a rough storm-thun-
der and lightning with pelting
rain, likely as violent as ever
known in Honolulu.
At half-past nine on Friday
night, the rain was pouring in a
fierce torrent, as if not one only
but several clouds had burst. We
have never heard it rain harder
than it did, for few minutes.
Today, New Years Eve, is
warm, cloudy and still, almost as
if the elements were asleep.
1t is now the time set, 2:3O
p. M, for the birdman (aviator)
to fly with his biplane. But it
seems that at Moanalua there is
fear of the currents having some
thing to say, as they circle the
hills and sweep into the gulch.
But we trust that those skill
full men will use the greatest
judgment and take few risks.
January l, 1911.
This day was very cool, clear
and crisp, and tonight chilly
enough on the cars for a fur coat
really uncommonly cold for
Honolulu. The aviator, Mars, has
been very successful, making
four flights both yesterday and
today, and winning the enthusi-
astic applause and good will of
the vast assembly of spectators.
January 2-It certainly has been
one of the best, if not the best
holiday seasons ever known in
Honolulu The shops have been
blessed with buyers, and great
prosperity has abounded, not only
in this city, but throughout the
entire land.
Every poorest child has had
share in the Christmas and New
Years joy. The rich have, in
deed and in word, recollected the
poor, and the very poor, and have
sought them out and helped them.
All this is good investment to
those who have faith to believe
in the promises of God: that not
one good deed is valuless in His

SORE ARMS HELP
SCHOOL PITCHER
Clark Griffith Says They
Teach Young CurVerS to
Use Their Head

Clark Griffith has always claimed
that a pitcher did not learn anything
until he developed lame arm which
threatened to close his pitching ca
reer. According to Griffith, a pitcher
generally depends upon his physical
strength and mechanical ability to win
his games as long as his whip remains
right. He regards brains as something
unnecessary to success, and is con-
tent TO throw on the smoke and get
away with It.
They were discussing this very thing
in the De Soto hotel at New Orleans
few days ago, and several instances
We're related of pitchers never learn
ing how to mix 'em up properly until
they had undergone the experience Of
an extremely sore whip Griffith him
self was one of the early examples.
! Griffith had a lot of speed when he
! first started to pitch, but lost his wing
/ and went to Seattle to play the in
/ field He failed as an infelder and
! began to experiment as a pitcher
again. Finally he regained the use of
his arm and eventually became great
twirler, being particularly famous for
his head work on the slab. In fact, he
kept in the game for several years
when he had nothing but prayer and
a glove.
Bill Bernard was another. He did
not know what it was to have a sore
arm until 1904 and then he began to
humor his whip to a greater extent.
with the result that in later years ne
managed to make good through his
ability to deceive the batters with his
change of pace.
Christy Mathewson Is said to be an
other whose head work carries him
through many a tough contest. OF
course Matty has the stun yet His
arm is not gone, but since he had a
bad arm for an extended period a
/ few years ago he has been treating
his arm with greater respect than
| he formerly did. refraining from pitch
ing his arm off except in tight situa-
tiOns
Along the same line several Of the
/ Maps figure that even il Addie Joss
has lost some of the stun that has
made him such a star pitcher he
can get away with many a game by
his knowledge of the batters and his
ability to mix 'em up.
