CHRISTMAS CHIMNEY
AT CHRISTIAN CHURCH

The Christmas Chimney. with the
personification of Santa Claus at the
Christian church on Alakea street last
evening. was most entertaining pro-
gram. The seats Of the church would
not accommodate the large number
of people that came, and seemed to
enjoy It all as we'll as did the little
folk.
With Mrs. Harriet Evans at the pi-
ano. the young people who had the
program In charge did their parts In
a most entertaining way. Old Santa
handed out presents to all the chill

SHOW MOVING PICTURES
OF MOl0kAI SETTLEMENT

The first of a series OF moving pic
ture shows arranged for by the
Health Board was given at the Kalihi
receiving station during this week by
r. X. BONNIE. He showed pictures
OF the islands and had two reels de-
plotting life at the leper settlement on
Molokai.
The people at the receiving station
were very much interested In the two
last as most Of them expect to go
there at one time or another and
while the pictures were running they
also saw many Of their friends and
relatives shown on the screen.
The pictures are. also to be shown
at the Kapiolani Girls Home and the
Kalihi Boys home.

Bard Worked Overtime.

Upon Milverton's advice, the meet
ing came to an abrupt termination
and the supervisors got busy this
.corning in an attempt to frame up
the budget In manner which would
bring about separation of the sew
eral items of expense under their
proper classification. Milverton also
took the stand that In his opinion,
permanent improvements should Inn
ply such matters as the widening of
Hotel street, new roads. bridges or
school houses. He considered the
auto fire trucks n doubtful item and
one in which payment might be held
up by the auditor for failure to COM
ply with the law.

Nationals. Hughes should prove a SPLEEN
did addition to the pitching staff this
year. He has shown enough in practice,
even though his arm was sore, to war
rant the prediction that when he gets
into form he will win majority Of his
games Hughes is a changed man from
what he used to be. He is taking base
ball much more seriously, is deeply inter-
ested in his own work and is sure to do
everything he can to make good.
There is no more changed player in Nc
Aleer's camp than Dixie" Walker. One
reason for his comparatively poor show
ing last year was the fact that he wasted
much of his strength doing an unneces-
sary lot of work fielding and running.
He would frequently do more work be-
fore game he was to pitch than in 1t,
and this was the cause of many Of the
defeats he suffered. Walker has quieted
down. He is in splendid physical condi-
ton and ia outstanding his strength
for the pitching period. That McAleer
should feel encouraged over his pitching
staff Is not to be wondered at, for in
Johnson. Hughes, Walker and Gray he
appears to have four pitchers who will
be ready when the bell sounds, while
Otey, Groom and Bussey will be able to
fill in well.

significant circumstances which would
probably have passed unnoticed but for
the nervous condition of the men and the
strain under which they We're playing In
their fight for the flag.
MOriarty was the one man available
for the captaincy. He is the one regular
infielder who has never mixed up with
the feudists, Delehanty alone excepted,
and his habits and longer service with the
club gave him the preference. of course.
over the silver-tongued second baseman.

Former Brown Player to Be Given
Long Trial.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
. ALEXANDRIA. La, March 2.-From
now on Art Griggs will be worked in
the outfield on the exhibition trip of the
second team, which starts at Little Rock
Thursday. Griggs will play left field and
Birmingham second base. Manager Nc
CURE figures that Birmingham does not
need the outfield practice. being about
perfect in that position, but does need
the infield experience.
On the other hand. Griggs appears to
be far too good q right-hand batter to
be warming the bench after the season
starts, and he will be given every chance
to show his value as an outfielder. Then
it will be battle between him and
Graney for left-field position. II Graney
hits as well as he did the latter part of
last season he has the job cinched. Other
wise Griggs may get the job. Graney
has not been hitting strong this spring
but at that he is batting better than he
did a year ago at Alexandria. He is
apparently slow to acquire the full use
of his batting eyes. It will be remem-
bered that 1t was along toward the first
of July that he began to plant the ball
safely last season. No such late date
is expected this year, but Mcguire In
tends to be prepared just the same.

eddy realize this fact before he has been
In training very long. Henry will loom
up most dangerous, for he has developed
into splendid fielder and impresses one
as If he was going to hit. His only fault
Is overanxiety in covering ground, and
that is hardly fault. Somerlot. Of
course. has the benefit of several years
experience and is a natural fielder, but
he Is not the hitter that is Lelivelt.
Before the season is very old Manager
McAleer will realize that place must
be found for Lelivelt. Whether that will
be at first base or in the outfield remains
to be decided, but there is no doubt that
he Is too good a man with the bat to be
allowed to sit on the bench.
II Jim McAleer had two outfielders who
could bat at about a $50 clip the coming
season the chances are his team would
be one to be reckoned with while posi-
tons in the race were being allotted. In
the outfield only do the Nationals fail to
look good. That infield compares favor
ably with any in the league, the pitching

If either Miller or Corbin, the only
youngsters who are worth considering,
will prove good enough to be given a
trial in the championship games. Con-
roy and Lelivelt are aspirants for the
place, but 1t Is most likely that neither
of them will get chance in the field yet
for while, for McAleer seems determin-
ed to get thorough line on Schaefer be-

By J. ED GRIILo.

The hitting of the regulars in these ex-
hibition games being played at Atlanta Is
really better than the scores would indi-
cate It must not be forgotten that there
is considerable class to the pitchers they
are asked to face every day. McAleer
has arranged his teams so as to give
the youngsters the benefit Of strong
pitching staff and incidentally to get the
regulars accustomed to batting against
real pitching
johnson, Gray. Walker and Hughes
have been working against the regulars
and assurance can be given that every
one of them is rounding into frst-class
condition, SO that hitting them is no
longer an easy matter.
Being up against this sort of pitching
is putting the players on edge in batting.
It was after having faced good pitching
In these practice games all week that
the, Nationals jumped on the Atlanta
twirlers last Saturday for sixteen hits.
Ordinary pitching becomes comparative
ly easy to hit when a batting eye has
been trained against johnson and the
other good pitchers on McAleer's staff.
1t was because the Athletics had faced
johnson and Walsh in the all-star series
easy in the world series, and it is to
give the Nationals this sort of training
that McAleer is showing his best pitch
ers against the regulars, hoping thereby
to benefit the teams batting.
1t has always been found good policy
not to let player go until one who can
at least fill his shoes has been found to
take his place. This is the system on
which Manager McAleer is working and
this fact practically assures both Schaefer
and Conroy of berth on the local team

ed regularly.
McAleer figures this a valuable pair to
have around. Both can play either the
in or outfeld. and while not great hitters,
know the game and can run the bases
Only now and then does a club pick up a
youngster who can do all this the first
