MRS. COULTER RESIGNING
THE TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP

Mrs. Coulter, the champion lady ten
mis- player in the territory will not
take part in this years tournament,
having come to the decision some
week or more ago. Though this was
not generally known, it was known
TO Mrs. Coulter's friends and several
well-known tennis players were aware
Of the fact, but it is surprising that
there are not other ladies to come for
ward and play for the title.
Mrs Coulter is far and away the
best player in the islands, but surely
there are a number of other ladies
who can put up a good game. The
fact that Mrs Coulter has decided not
to take part in this years tournament

qualification, and in cases where
charges are made it is up to the ac.
cused to exculpate himself, not up to
the accuser to substantiate his
charges. Thus, if Rice and H. Ra
phael remain in the Native Sons il
will be matter for these two lads to
see that no one member of the team
infringes the amateur rules, otherwise
both will lose their amateur status.
Clear Up Your Douots.
AS there seems to be more or less
doubt as to just what affiliation with
the A. A. U. entails the officials of
the local branch will be pleased to
consider any points on which ath-
letes are at doubt. If there are any
of the readers of the Star who wish
enlightenment on any points the
writer will see that their doubts are
cleared up Immediately on request.
The Amateur Definition.
1t is worthy of note that the inter
national committee of the Olympian
games which met at Budapest, Hun.
gary, on May 23d, took up the matter
of the definition of an amateur and
the result of their deliberations will
be of worldwide interest. The vari-
GUS countries interested have not
been able to agree on this matter, but
much is hoped from the discussion of
the Olympian committee.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-06-01

me ms that she forfeits the title if the
tournament is proceeded with, and a
new champion found, but that is just
what Mrs. Coulter desires. Tennis
among the ladies is not of the standard
it should be, and though Mrs. Coulter
would be thoroughly justified in hold
ing the title, as she can no doubt do
if she wishes, she feels that greater
interest may be taken in the game by
the ladies were the championship
more of an open question that it is to-
day. While Mrs. Coulter's motives
can be appreciated it seems rather
unfair to the lady that she should re-
sign the title because she lacks OPP
ponents.

SPORT
HOW THE PITCHERS FAREO, AND
HOW BATTERS MISSED GUESSES

! Considerable interest was displayed
in the style of pitching shown or
Tuesday, Lota, Apau, Freitas and
Medeiros doing the twirling. Freitas
was the most effective as far as
strike-outs went for he had nine to
his credit against six by Apau -four
by Lota and three by Medeiros, but
Freitas walked two and sent over
two wild pitches. He handed out
some very good pitching, however,
though he had more balls called on
him than did any of the others. Al
together. he had forty-nine called
balls, Apau had forty-three. Lota
thirty-two and Medeiros twenty-three
only Medeiros did the least work Of
any, getting through the game for
ninety deliveries, while Lota sent
over ninety-seven, Apau 100 and Fret
tas 139. Medeiros did good work IN
the Portuguese fourth, getting rid of
the side for four deliveries, each Of
the batsmen, excepting one, connect
ing with the first ball and failing to
reach first. There was no choosing
of balls. simply banging at every
thing. 1t cannot be wondered at
therefore. that six deliveries sufficed
in the Portuguese eighth, and seven
each in the second, sixth and ninth.
In the japanese fifth, that run-scor-
ing inning, Freitas sent the ball down
the pitchers alley twenty-five times
before the side was retired, but then
nine men came up to bat. In that in
ming eleven balls were called on Fret
tas, twelve strikes and two fouls.
Medeiros started badly. The first de-
livery was a strike, the next was
ball out of the catchers reach and
with the third he hit the batter and
gave him the base. Thence onward,
however, Medeiros did much better.
Apau shaped the best of the four,
and will no doubt alternate with
Hayes for the Stars.

CUTTING OUT
PROFESSIONALISM

All amateur sports who desire to
have their status respected by the A
A. U. must from today EDWARDS steer
clear of all professional sport, or that
class of sport which is popularity spok.
en- of here as semi-professional.
No Grace From Today
The period of grace which was set
by the local branch of the A A. U.
expired last night, but persons who
have never yet been registered as
amateurs can now come into the fold
without question, provided they keep
out of professional sport between
now and the time of their applying
for admission to the A. A. U. Ath-
letes in Hawaii have not felt the ne
cessity of an amateur organization
here, but if the local men are to com.
pete with their comrades on the
mainland it behooves them to take
the necessary steps now to get in the
A. A. U. while this exceptionally good
offer prevails. The local officials
have full power to admit all who ap-
ply, and amateurs who have been re,
jected in the past can have their
cases reconsidered by application TO
the local body.
Scholars SHOULD Join.
The schools have not entered, as
anticipated, but when the boys now
attending school mix with the ath-
letes on the other side they will ap,
preciate the value of being recognised
as an amateur and will no doubt re-
greet not having embraced the oppor.
tunity offered here Being an amateur
does not prevent a lad from compel
ing in the school sports, even if the
others are not amateurs, but it does
prevent him from competing in open
sports, in which two or more schools
and organizations are competing, I'M
less such meeting has the sanction of
the local authorities.
Amateurs and Baseball.
Inc opinion generally felt here is
that an amateur can not play baseball
in the Oahu League, which is termed
semi-professional, but that is hardly
the case, as we pointed out yesterday.
An amateur can not play with the
teams which are professional; that is
with the teams which divide the prof
its of the season among their mem
bers, but any amateur can belong to
a team which is composed entirely Of
amateurs, such as the Native Sons.
They claim amateur status, but it is
up to the team to show that their
claim is a Good one. The rules throw
the burden Of proof on the team, it
being held that common report" is
sufficient basis for suspension or dis.

of games here. A meeting of TIE
league will be held tomorrow at
which details of the series with Keio
will be arranged. 1t is doped out that
the visitors will play against each
of the tuams in the league and will
then tackle the st, Louis combination,
after which, if time permits, other
games may be arranged. The Oahu
League will continue its present series
up till and including June 25th, and
the Keio series will commence on the
following Sunday.
Avators and Pugs on the HonoluIan.
Sports generally are interested in
the arrival of the Honolulan, for in ad-
dition to the two aviators who are ex-
pected, the two boxers who are to
scrap at the Orpheum are likewise
coming. Walker and Mason, the
aviators, will interest the greater num-
Der of people, for the spectacular
character of their work appeals to
everyone, while the boxers have only
a comparatively small clientele. How
ever, the four men are awaited with
interest.
Cricket Commences Saturday.
Next Saturday afternoon on the Ma
kiki field, the first cricket match of
The season will be played and a criti.
cal invitation is extended by the Homo
lulu club to players who wish to partic-
ipate. R. Anderson captain of the
club, and c. F. Maxwell will be pleased
to receive the names of those who
wish to play, but in case those desir-
ing game omit to send their names
they can be sure of a game by being
on the ground by two o'clock On
June 18th another game will be played
and on the showing of the men in
these two matches will depend the
selection of the teams to play on June
22nd, on the occasion of the coronation
festivities. Those desiring to join the
cricket club can have their wish graft
fed by communicating with Anderson,
Maxwell or r. A. Jordan, the cost for
the first year, including entrance fee,
being $3.50.
According to Tom Hollinger, Ho-
nolulu's veteran racing man, whose
popular green jacket and gold horse
shoes" were last carried by those
mares, Aggravation and Racery, horse
racing in Honolulu has more than an
even chance of coming back.

it was miles high, instead of allowing

third strike. But, no; Raphael

an excellent one, three hits three
times at bat! But Hoopii two-bag-
ger to the right field fence was the
best hit of the day, and should have
been worth at least three bags, the
ball striking the embankment some
feet above the ground. Rice had bad
luck with a liner in the Native Sons
ninth. Kan Yen was on first, and
Rice handed out liner which rolled
foul, after Rice and Kan Yen had
both made their bases. Barney JOY
also handed out a foul to the right
field fence, only inches out.

SPORT NOTES
Dick Sullivan sanguine.

Though Dick Sullivan has heard
nothing from the two fighters who are
believed to be on the Honolulan, he
expects them to show up when the
steamer arrives. Dick speaks highly
of Kid George, and from what he has
learned of Patsy McKenna, who was
New York lightweight, he is sanguine
that the fans will have something
worth seeing turned out when the
two men meet in the ring. Vic Han
son, who was to have come over with
George, had an engagement to meet
Dicks brother in the ring on the night
before the Honolulan sailed and Nc
Kenna was also on the bill that night.
The two men will train for a fortnight
before getting into the ring on the

One Man Beats the Weevil.

There is one man in Copiah
county who whipped the boil vice.
vii in the cotton field. A good
many progressive men in the
county are doing fully as we'll as
before the weevil came. They
are doing this by diversifying, by
raising everything needed for
man and beast at home; by NOV
ing the smoke-house back to the
farm; by raising hogs and cattle
of improved breeds; by growing
grasses and grain and giving at
tention to what was once count
ed little things the garden, the
poultry yard and winter crops.
But there is at least one farm
er in the county who has success
fully fought the weevil in the
cotton field. We have reference
to Mr.. ]. D. Bonner, of District
No. 3. On fifty acres Mr.. Bon
ner has made twenty-five bales
this year. On some of his cotton
lands he made as high as a bale
to the acre. One negro tenant
on Mr.. Bonner's place, working
exactly the same land for the
three years. made the following
yields: In 1909, ten bales; in 49,
10, eleven bales; in 1911, twelve
bales. already gathered, with a
little more in the fields.

interesting, and. since they cover

GOOD ADVICE.

TO the Negro Farmers Of the Delta:
The boil weevil has infected
practically the entire delta. Its
destruction in the southern part
of the state has been dreadful. But
the fear of the weevil has worked
more hardships on our people than
the weevil itself. Those who stayed
where the weevil found them have
Jared better than, those who came
away to escape him. These last
ones came into hardships they
knew not of, and have been the
losers. In a word, the thing to do
is to route the boil weevil, instead
Of allowing him to route you. The
merchant acted fer the best inter
ests of all in not advancing money
when the weevil appeared; for
more money was cleared the very
first year of his advent than had
been done in better crop years.
1t has taken you life time to
get together the things you own.
To work or break up and start
again on lands that you do not
understand, will very likely mean
your undoing for all time.
Yon can and should raise more
hay, hogs, grain and feed stuffs.
Nor does this mean to neglect cot
ton; for when it is cultivated un-
der government and other methods
the weevil infected district can be
made to yield as much as other
places. For instance, Sharkey
county, with the weevil, produced
more than Coahoma county did
without the weevil. So, judging
by the light Of the past experience,
it is the part Of wisdom for the
negro farmer to adjust himself to
the conditions surrounding him,
and remain here and fight it out.
This Is my advice and consul as
president Of Negro Business Lcaguel |
Of Mississippi, which has six years
kept an eye open for your best in
terests, and pointed you the way
thereunto. Yours truly,
CHA BANKS,
President of Mississippi Negro

Alfalfa Lands in Demand.

washington, OcC., 1Z.-N0W -
the time for Mississippi to adver-
tise the black prairie lands which
are demonstrating their possi-
bilities in the production of alfal-
ia. What is the value of the
black land along the Mobile and
Ohio railroad between Okolona
to Macon is a question now being
asked by owners of, farms in
Maryland and Virginia, who con
template disposing of their hold
ings in those states to re-invest
in Mississippi black lands in the
eastern part of the state. A New
Yorker who owns a farm in Vir-
ginia not far from Washington
said today that he intends to sell
his place with a view of invest
ing in alfalfa farm land in East
ern Mississippi or southern Ala
bama. He had made a speciality
of raising alfalfa and regards it
as a sure money crop of the fu-
ture in certain sections of the
south, notably Mississippi and
Alabama.
From the department of agri-
culture he has been supplied with
most of the information he has
received thus far with reference
to the black lands of Mississippi
and Alabama, but within the next
few months he expects to visit
these states in company with sew
eral other Eastern landowners
who contemplate investments in
the alfalfa sections of the South.
The New Yorker in question
has requested that his name be
withheld for the present.
Today !Mr, Strong, of Macon,
Miss, who raises alfalfa on on
extended scale, conferred with ex-
at the department of agriculture.
relative to some process by which
alfalfa can be cured without the
aid of the sun. It seems that in
his section the weather condi-
tions are not altogether propi-
tous for curing alfalfa in the
natural way, and a resort to arti
fetal methods is necessary to OBJ
tain the maximum Of the lands
productivity.
Mr.. Strong was told of a ma
chine curing process now being
tested in Missouri with the most
satisfactory results. By this pro
cess the alfalfa can be stored al
most Immediately after being
cut. Mr.. Strong will confer with
the government experts again
tomorrow for futher informa-
tion. By R. M. Gates.

How to Keep Well.

By DIR. Evans in Chicago Tribune.
The following is. taken from his
article The Public is Response
BILE.
Nothing is going to be gained
until the people get interested in
and active. Health officers may
discuss and adopt resolutions.
These may be brought before the
council by the Mayor or some
alderman. They may even pass.
But there is no remedy until the
public refuses to stand for the ex-
istence of preyentable disease.
Has not the time come for the
public to stand by the neighbors
who are sick or may be dying?
Have they not the best rights?
The blame for bad conditions is
not wholly with the officials; it
goes back of them to the toler-
ance of the people. The great
health need is a reasonable pub
lie distontent.
In "The Advent of Preventive
Medicine" we read:
Preventive medicine is becom-
ing an established science, the
laws of health and disease are
better understood. conversation
of health is becoming a national
policy. The people are waking
up. A new era is at hand.
The Civic League is in receipt
of a letter from DR.. Harold B.
Wood. in answer to one asking
for the state health bulletins
giving information concerning
sewerage. DR.. Wood is bacteri-
ologist and analyst to the Missis-
sippi state board of health. He
says: If you are considering a
sewerage system, you might prof
it by the results of the sewerage
in New Jersey towns. Those
towns without sewerage system
