BALL PLANS
FOR KAUAI

Garden Island: From the interest
which is being taken in the coming
baseball season, there is every reason
to expect classy ball from every team
in the League From Waimea to
Kilauea, the teams are doing the
practice stunt with a vengeance.
Several teams which failed to realize
the value of practice in the past sea-
sons games, are now beginning to take
a different view in the matter.
Each of the seven teams has for
Its manager, men of influence and
INCONSISTENCIES both being essentials
to successful team work The officials
of the Kauai Athletic Association have
decided to use the Reach balls eX-
clusively which has met with the ap-
proyal of the various league teams
composing the line-ups for the com
ing series.
The decision of the directors to do
away with all gate fees has been met
with a hearty approval of the fans
The methods of collecting by volunteer
contribution, which was carried out
last season, failed to produce salts
factory results as it was almost i'm
possible to collect, once the crowd had
gained entrance to the grounds. Con
sidering that the past year was the
first time baseball has ever received
serious attention, however, it must be
admitted that, all in all, the season
was a most successful one,

GALLANT GAVE MAN
PUT LADIES FIRST

Certain customs, such as shaking
hands, or Offering the left arm to q
woman, are ancient. Phenicians in
troduced the handshaking into Britain,
and upon the shores of Mounts bay
many a bargain in tin between eastern
merchant and Cornishman YVES ratified
by clasp.ng hands.
The formula, Ladies first!" dates
from neol,thic times when male and
female cave dwellers in skin suits set
out together upon hunting expeditions
since a womans help was valuable
in carrying home the bag Dangers
lurked near the cave-boulders or un-
dergrowth might conceal hideous fur
red or scaly beasts, therefore the cave
Gweller set a fashion which lasted
throughout the ages, by urging fol.
ward his companion that she might
bear the brunt of any possible attack,
In medieval times he who shook
hands while some treaty was being
arranged must needs trip off his steel
gauntles. SO, today, men pun off their
right hand glove before shaking hands
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1912-03-25

The wearing of a glove or a gauntlet
at one period was a challenge in itself;
thus no men wore gloves in the pres
ence of royalty. A similar idea ac,
counts for the habit of lifting or re.
moving the hat. Only when no danger
threatened would a warrior in olden
days stand uncovered. In the royal
presence was safety, and each knight
who drew near king or emperor swept
off his helmet. Helmets was exchang
ed for less warlike forms of headgear
but the custom outlived all changes
and remains unto this day the prin
cipal method of showing reverence.

captain. made his big league debut as
a Giant back In 1901. He played a short
time with New Yo-:. and then went TO
Columbus. where ho Jerved as an out

the Giants, where he played short, sec

He was then obtained by the Red Sox
and has been with the team ever since.

the Giants from Dallas in 1909. He is a

Wagner was practically useless to his

CHEAPER BASEBALL

course has cut down the attendance at

every club in the league is complaining.

soured Philadelphia rooters. The Phil
