straight for Honolulu. We
ourselves did not understand that he
had to wait until the word was sent
ahead, and we told Scully when Mas
son rose that he would fly to Kapiolani
Park.
when he arrived at the park and
later, until about Q o'clock, weather
conditions were good, but there We're
only n few people at the park. The
wind kept rising after that. Anybody
that knows anything about aviation
knows that no aviator flies in such
winds with monoplanes.
I'VE want the public to understand
why we were unable to fly, and also to
understand that we are not responsible
because the people were kept at the
park the whole day"
Generally speaking, the criticism of
the public Is against the aviators. Pro-
moter Scully is regarded as unfortu-
nate but not to blame. The aviators
are frank In declaring that they did
their best, and that's the way It stands.

morning that Mason or Walker or both

CROWD IS ANGRY AT
FAILURES TO FLY

The Bleriot monoplane, with Aviator
Mason at the steering wheel, made a
brief but Intellectual attempt to leave
the ground at Kapiolani Park shortly
before o'clock this morning, and in
doing so the rattan buffer located at
the bottom of the machine, placed there
to protect the steering gear from con-
tact with the earth, became wrecked.
There will he no further attempt at
flying today" was the only response
made by Manager Adossides and the
ever solicitous mechanic who since the
arrival of the trio OF Frenchmen ap-
pears to be the real boss of the combi-
nation.
Mason apparently obeyed the man
date Of the two companions, and he
soon after left the field, contentedly
putting away at his cigarette.
The attempt ut flight this morning
was made In the presence of a little
| crowd of boys who had gathered there
from the neighborhood.

associates" sadly insisted Promoters
Love and Scully when told that the
F'renchman had endeavored to make a
flight this morning. "Masson and his
manager, Adossldes, have violated ev-
cry provision and letter In their con-
tract with me. They came down here
with the positive guarantee to make a
series of flights There was n stipula-
ton ms to when they should be pulled
off. in order that the crowd could be
collected to witness the events.
From the very first these men have
absolutely ignored us. They had no
business going to Leilehua in the first
place Had they remained here and
set up the machines at Kapiolani Park,
there is no earthly reason why three
or more flights could not have been
ont there on Saturday afternoon, and
thereby avoided the great dlsappoint-
ment to the thousands who visited the
park at that time.
THE absolute Indifference displayed
by Mason and Adossides yesterday to
our wishes is another thing that has de-
ings with the Frenchmen. Mason was
almost insulting In his attitude toward
the immense throng at the park on
Sunday. 1t was simply case of the
people be damned"

Too Much Wind, He Said.

Too Much Wind, He Said.
ut IL too windy, II is impossible for
me to fly In this weather" was the only
reason advanced by Mason when APP
preached by the men Interested in pull
ing off the flight Aviator Walker
would now and then offer to back Mas
son up in his declarations.
Both birdmcn were told by compe-
tent authorities that Esd Mars made
a series OF nishtf under conditions far
less favorable Than those that existed
yesterday.
His flight over the lower section of
the city was witnessed by but very
few early rlsers Daylight Sunday
morning IL not exactly a propitious
time for pulling off a spectacular stunt
In Honolulu, where self-respecting peo-
pie believe in day of rest and sleep
to later hour. Masson's feat was
therefore missed by the majority of
people, who waited in vain for the
sound of the fire siren.
Mason Was Hungry.
When Mason wasn't hungry he was
in need OF a certain brand of oil for
the monoplane. Beginning at 8 o'clock
the rapidly increasing crowd of spec
tators was yesterday treated to seven
teen different kinds of the questionable
art of "stalling." Before the real crowd
arrived. the sportive mechanic found
that he was without smoking tobacco.
He started downtown, and then Mason
apparently chaffed delay as he re-
luctantly admitted that atmospheric
conditions were propltous. The French
mechanic afterwards returned and
Mason took a stroll oter among the
assembled autos and was lost" The
mechanic Daid that all was ready, but
where was Mason?
Mason was discovered and brought
to the machine. when II was found that
the mechanic had failed to oil certain
parts OF the machine. When he was
dragged away from n seductive game OF
matching coins. he suddenly found that
he had no oil in the can. This was
forthcoming. then Adossides jumped to
the conclusion that he must have some
cigarettes. He strolled off towards
town, while Mason waited his return
to give the signal to start.
All this horseplay was taking much
time. At IL o'clock the three French
men. with the aid of much gcstlculation,
held conference. and after fifteen
minutes animated confab, in which
arms wildly swung and shoulders
shrugged Mason came forward and
said that he was real hungry, as he
had not had anything to eat since 4
o'clock this morning. lie would be

being hard pressed. With only one out.

inning and brace of good batters were
up. We had two strikes on the next man,
and then something happened

In spite of the fact that 1t Is said that
the official base balls used by the Ma
tional and American leagues are similar
in every respect-in fact. the same pail
under a different name-the figures show
that while the pitching in the older or
ganization varied but little in efficiency
from the year before. in the American
League there were many less boxmen
who twirled games Of few hits. For ex-
ample. in the National League there was
not a single no-hit game either this year
or last. There were six one-hit contests
in 1910 to ten in 1911, and nineteen two
hit contests last year to seventeen this
season.
In the American League, on the other
hand. the difference was very nouceapie:
There were two no-hit games pitched
aach season. but there were only three
one-hit games this year as against tnir-
teen last year; only thirteen tWo-hlt
games in 1911 as against tWenty-elgnt
in 1910, and but twenty-three three-hit
games during the present season as
AGAINST forty-two a year ago. AS no less
az authority than A. G. Spalding de-
clared that there Is positively no diner-
ence in the composition OF the Two base
halls there are but two conclusions 10

harder in 1911, and the other that the

times show remarkable reversal of form

under Griffith's tuition Groom in parttcu-

There has never been any doubt as to
the natural ability of Groom. If he
would not allow himself to become dis
couraged and knew what to do when he
finds himself in a tight place. Groom
would undoubtedly be of great help to
