. ? SPORT NOTES,


Application will be made to the
Oahu League this evening by the
Native Sons of Hawaii to sign UP two
new players in the persons of Raph-
ael, the Columbia Park catcher, and
Alex Desha, a pitcher who will, it is
expected, make good. This will give
the Native Sons a third battery and
will considerably strengthen the
team Desha is a pitcher who has
good curves and fine control. Catcher
, Raphael is a find Of more than ordi-
nary interest.
Apau May Join the Stars.
Despite all the assertions that
Apau would be out of the ball game
for a season at least, it seems very
probable that he will be in the game
again very shortly, and playing for
the Stars Apau will be foolish If he
| if he does not embrace the opportunity
presented, for it is said that Man
ager Marcallino of the Stars is ready
to sign him up if he makes the nee
essary application. There has been
lot of talk about the attitude Of
En- Sue and Apau, but both are play
ers who ought to be IL the big
league. 1t is up to themselves, how
ever. Apau could be sure of well
come from the fans if he decided to
join the Stars
Barron Tastes Promotion Trouble.
Charles Barron, who is promoting
the fffteen-mile race between Soldier
King and Con Hubbenette, like an
other promoters, does not find it all
plain sailing. He wants to get Kaoo
into the race, but Kaoo wants guar
antee which Barron does not think
he can give. 1t is not anticipated
that the gate for this event will be
large, as it will take place at night
or in the morning, and it can hardly
be expected that so good a house
will be drawn as if the event took
place in the afternoon. However,
Barron wants to meet Kaoo halfway
and talks of a handicap as we'll as
reasonable guarantee Even with
guarantee it is questionable wheth-
err Kaoo would run in a fifteen-mile
race. He would naturally prefer the
longer distance.
Myrtles Dance Tonight.
Thanks to the Efforts of George
Clark, H. Williams, Bob Chillingworth
and Foster Davis, all arrangements
for the dance to be given by the
Myrtle Boat Club at the Seaside to-
night are well forwarded and there
is nothing in sight to prevent the
affair from being pronounced sue
cess. Supporters of the club are ex-
pected to rally round in large num-
bers to ensure the dance being a
financial success, and in this it is
not likely that the Myrtle Club will
be disappointed. The dance will COM
mence at eight o'clock and will end
shortly after midnight. A special car
will bring the guests back to town,
leaving the Seaside at twelve fifteen.
