DE
Luxe AT CAFE
De ]. JOHNSON

Some weeks ago, as previously
noted in these columns, the Cafe de
Champion, Jack Johnson's eat en-
porinm for blue blooded blacks, was
opened in Chicago, with the popping
of many champagne corks. The place
is unique in many ways, and the Big
Smoke certainly extended himself to
the limit when he planned and exc
-cuted the undertaking.
The following. from Chicago
paper, gives more details of the es-
Enlistment:

SH0RTST0P NOT so BUSY
AS TN EYE 0LDEN DAYS"

An unexplained change is going on
in baseball, according to bob Wallace
of the Browns The Scot is serving
bis eighteenth year in the big league,
most of it as an infielder. Therefore
he should know whereof he speaks.
Il have noticed in the last few
seasons that the shortstop has had
fewer chances than in the olden days,
says Wallace 1T is nothing now for
shortfielder to go through a regu-
lar nine-inning game and handle only
three or four chances, whereas, sew
eraI years ago, the average was about
nine or ten. / well recollect one
game in which | played that had
nineteen chances. But when short
stop is called to handle anything
above seven or eight now he has a
busy afternoon"

Old Rivals Meet On The Polo
Field Tomorrow In Final Game


The final game of. the polo series.
and the one over which there is the
greatest amount of interest locally,
will be played tomorrow afternoon at
the Moanalua field, between the Oahu
team and the four of the Fifth Cav
airy. On this match hangs the re.
suit of the tournament. A win for
Oahu will mean the championship,
while if the Cavalry is successful,
the whole series will be a stand-off,
with each team winning one game
and losing one, as was the case last
year. In this latter event it will
again be mo tournament" for the
Maui ponies are to be shipped this
afternoon, some of the players have
already left, and there is therefore no
chance of re-playing the series.
A week ago Oahu and the Cavalry
we're even money chances, but in the
light of the MauiArmy game, Oahu
is now a strong favorite. and is con-
sidered the probable winner of the
match and tournament
Oahu beat Maui to IN, and Maui
beat the Cavalry 10A to 3. On these
figures Oahu should beat the Fifth
about IL to 8. But they won't. If
there is more than four goals differ
ence in the final score it will be a
distinct surprise to the dopesters, who
are predicting something like 10 to s.
in favor of Oahu.
Cavalry Due for Brace
There are number OF reasons why
the Cavalry should make better
showing against Oahu than against
Maui in last Wednesdays game To
begin with, the Army players got
such lot of bad polo out of their sys-
TENS that they are morally certain to-
play a. much improved brand to.uor-I
row. The last game didn't show she
Cayalrymen playing the best game
they are capable of, by a long shot.
They were missing continually shots
that ordinarily would have been easy
for them, and their team work was
far below par Then again: there is
a keener rivalry between the Leile-
hua and Oahu players than between
the former and Maui, and while this
is not meant to imply that the Cav
airy loafed on the job Wednesday,
they will certainly go after the game
a lot harder Saturday. with the sting
of the last defeat still squirting them
on.
Oahu is ready to meet any attack
that may be launched at it. Men and
ponies are in first class condition
and the players, while not making the
mistake of thinking they have the
game tied up ready to take home.
have the confidence naturally born of
victory over a team that, in turn.
swamped their prospective opponents
Army Always Dangerous.
Of course the Cavalry 1split thel
beans" for Oahu last year, and the
memory of that defeat is still very
green. and has imbued the locals with
a wholesome respect for the Army

the 1911 event, with Maui playing the
part formerly taken by Kauai. II
will be remembered that Oahu won
its first game from Kauai. the lat
ter beating the Cavalry in the sec.
ond play. Then along came the SOL
diers and gave Oahu the licking OF a
lifetime.
This year. however, Oahu IS far
stronger, with Sam Baldwin and Ar
thur Rice on the team, while the Cav
airy has not such an experienced
back in Doak as was Quekemeyer.
Doak played his position we'll last
Wednesday. but he isn't the balance
wheel of the team that Quekemeyer
proved to be, nor could this be ex-
pected of so young player.
On ponies Oahu has the better Of
the argument, the mounts havingcon.
siderably more foot In this depart
ment, however, the difference won't
be so marked as. in the Maui game
Wednesday.
The teams viii present the same
lineup as each has put into the game
already played. For Oahu. Sam
Baldwin will play No. 1. Harold

will have Sheridan at 1, Hanson at q,

again be the referee, his work in the
two first games having given perfect
satisfaction.
Came Starts Promptly.
Play will start at o'clock, and as
the other two games have commenc-
ed on the dot. it is probable that the
coming one will be equally prompt.
Wednesday the Cavalry discarded
its colors, and played in white, as
yellow, black hoop" is the Maui uni
form. Tomorrow the Army players
will sport their yellow shirts again,
and this is considered a lucky omen
by their supporters.
Three of the Maui ponies were ship

shape with the exception of Harold
Rice's Giant Powder, which broke
down with a split pastern during al

Harold Rice and. Arthur Collins, of
the Maui team, returned to the Val
ley Isle yesterday. leaving Baldwin,
and Fleming to see the final game
of the tournament.

of coaching. and Graves Is one Of
them This does not mean that he

Pennsylvania lack of commission,
boxing conditions in this State are
IN rather chaotic state and open to
criticism from all sides. but espe.
cially from the lighters themselves.
AZ present the boxing regulations are
in the hands Of the police, but they,
having so many other duties to at
tend to. are unable to devote suf-
ilcient time to the sport. and there
fore II goes along in haphazard way,
much to its own injury.
The principal complaint comes
from the lighters, who claim that they
are not fairly dealt with by the man.
ayers Of the clubs. Often they are
promised bouts, and after training for
them and going to the expense of get
ting themselves At, their engage
ments are called OF and substitutes
put In their place, with neither an
explanation nor remuneration being
given.
Then. also. there is no regulation
covering the prices to be paid the
men In the preliminary bouts, and it
being left entirely to the managers
themselves the pay is so small that
many are discouraged from entering
the ring.
OF late there has been much talk
of starting union devoted to profes-
sionai boxers in order that higher
prices might be obtained by the pre-
liminary men. Many reforms ale
needed and the best method of effect
ing them seems TO be the New York
plan with special commission regu-
lating al the affairs connected with

the place." he said.
 Elnora groaned. She could not i'm agine who wanted her, but there was nothing to debut go and find out.
 ''This is the place." said the boy, and went his way, whistling. Elnora was three blocks from the high school building on the same street. She was before a quaint old house, fresh with paint and covered with vines.
 Inside she could see bare polished floors, walls freshly papered in low toned harmonious colors, straw rugs and madras curtains. It seemed to be a restful, homelike place to which she had come, and a second later down an open stairway came a tall, dark eyed woman with cheeks faintly pink and a crown of fluffy snow white hair.
 Elnora stepped inside the door. "Motherr' she cried. ''You my mother! beautiful, and this house is little paradise, but how will we ever pay for it? We can't afford itp'
 "Humph! Have you forgotten tele- graphed you I'd found some money didn't know about? All I've done is paid for and plenty more to settle for all propose to do."
 Mrs. Comstock glanced around with supreme satisfaction.
 "I may get homesick as a pup before spring." she said, "but if do can go back. If don't I'll sell some timber and put few oil wells where they don't show much. I can have land enough cleared for a few fields and put tenant on our farm, and we will buy this and settle here It's for sale"
 Mrs. Comstock invited Elnora's s friends to visit her and proved herself a bright and interesting hostess. She digested a subject before she spoke, and when she advanced view her point was sure to be original and terse- ly expressed. Before three months peo- pie waited to hear what she had to say.
 Elnora never mentioned Philip Am mon, neither did Mrs. Comstock. Early in December came note and big box from him. It contained several books on nature subjects which would be a great help in school work and num- Der of conveniences Elnora could not afford. Soon after Elnora wrote Am- mon:
 Dear Friend-I am writing to thank you for the books and the box of conveniences sent me for my work. I can use every thing with fine results. Hope I am giving good satisfaction in my position. You will be interested to learn that when the summers work was classified and pinned I again had my complete collection save a yellow Emperor. have tried every where know. So has the Bird Woman. We cannot find a pair for sale. Fate is against me, at least this season. I shall have to wait until next year and try again
 Thank you very much for helping me with my collection and for the books and things. Sincerely yours,
 ELNORA COMSTOCK.
 Ammon was disappointed over that note and instead of keeping it he tore it into bits and dropped them into the wastebasket,
 Throughout the winter Elnora and her mother enjoyed the city thorough ly and the change of life it afforded, but signs of spring did wonderful things to the hearts of the country bred women. They decided to keep the city house during the summer, but to go back to the farm to live just as soon as school closed.
