GOOD BALL FOLLOWED BY BANK GAME

A fair.sized crowd witnessed the
holiday baseball at the Athletic Park
yesterday afternoon.
The first game, between the Ha-
walls and P. A. c., was a good one
clear through, the Hawaiis winning,
to 4. -,
The second game between the Stars
and j. A. c. was as bad as its pred
ecessor was good, in deed it is doubt
full if a worse exhibition of the ma
tional game has ever been perpetrat-
ed in these fair islands. The Stars
won by the score of II to 6. These
figures indicate the quality of the play.
The first game went ten innings.
At that it was finished in l hour and
l6 minutes and enjoys the distinction
of being the fastest game of the sea
son so far.
The Portuguese had hard luck in

bounded into the Eva bleachers, scor-
ing Hayes.
JOY pitched for the Stars and Hamp-
ton went into the box for the ]. A. C.
after Clark had proved a pudding for
an inning.
Joy was some Eighty in the third
and five hits were raped off him.
Thereafter, however, he made good.
In the eighth the Stars tailed no
less than eight times.
Honest, the crowd We're glad when
the end came after hours and IL
minutes of unadulterated agony, and
they were at liberty to go home.

YOUNG JOAO'S
GOOD SHOWING

Not among the least of the achieve
ments in yesterdays Marathon con
test was that of young Joao, the eight.
een.year-old entrant of the Honolulu
Schools for Boys Running altogether
unaided and comparatively unframed
he finished fifth-a no mean achieve
nent for young runner against such
competition as those of yesterday.
Upon his arrival at the school Joao
was Justify cheered by his colleagues
and appeared none the worse for his
adventure.
Had it not been for an injured
knee which troubled him greatly the
last few miles there is no doubt that
this young runner would have been
much further up in the list of win
ners.

The Hui Nalu won first place in the
championship swimming meet decided
yesterday morning under A. A. U.
auspices in the Bishop slip.
The winners score of points was
35 The Healanis with 80 points to
their credit pressed them closely.
The Myrtle team took third place
with 10 points and the Punahous
brought up the rear with only 3
POINTS gained.
The sports, which were witnessed
by over a thousand people, were pull
ed off PROMPTLY and without hitch.
The feats of Duke Kahanamoku
have evidently given the sport of
swimming a great stimulus and this
was shown by the kenness of the
competition in most of the contests
yesterday and in the number of new
contestants and aspirants for cham
pionship honors.
No records were broken but the
work in the water was, on the whole,
Of a very satisfactory standard.
Vincent Genoves was the hero of
the day and the chief point-earner for
the Hui Nalus. He won the quarter,
half and mile races, and only in the
former event, in which he was hard
pressed by Kruger, did he have to
extend himself.
First place counted 5 points, sec.

is a great wonder to me that China
and Japan have not gone to war just
over these games. You tax about
your rabid fans standing in line hours
before the gates open. Over there
the people camp out on the field the
night before the game. When play is
called the bravest man in that mob
is the umpire He usually receives
about a hundred letters threatening
him with death if he doesn't throw
the game. over there we play to
finish; darkness makes no difference
to player or fan"
The personnel of the team now in
this country is as follows: Kan Yen,
catcher; Apau, pitcher; A. Akana,
first base and captain; AiecK Asam,

Secure Nomination.

Winona, Mimi, June 17.-Former
Congressman James A. Tawney, who
for five days sat as a member of the
Republican national committee In ses-
sion in Chicago, by virtue of proxies
he held, returned to Winona confident
that Taft will win the nomination on
the first ballot at the national conven-
tion Taft will have at least 555 votes
on the first ballot, according to Mr..
Tawney, fifteen more than is required
for nomination. Furthermore Mr.
Tawney said that the contests before
the committee were determined with
fairness to the candidates.
Roosevelt will bolt" said Mr.. Taw
ney. "He will be defeated for the
nomination and his action will follow
a will laid scheme aimed to justify
such action. Most of the contests put
up to the committee were fiimsy and
without foundation and merely in
tended to create a sentiment on which
the boiling would be justified"

The 450 strikers at the Atlantic

JOHNSON FOR

Has Good Chance Il Roosevelt

Chicago. June 17.--Governor Hiram
Johnson of California has a strong
resemblance to the man who viii be
named for vice president on the ticket

gets the nomination. That's the word
that is going the rounds of the lobbies,
and it is strongly encouraged by some
of the most prominent insiders In the
the governor not only would sweep
California, or aid materially in that
operation, but that he would have
great strength on the whole Pacific
coast and add much to the vote for
the ticket there. Ii there is a Roose-
velt-Johnson ticket, one will hear a
lot about Roosevelt and Johnson link
ing hands across the continent" and
other ideas of like sort.
Governor Stubbs OF Kansas has
been strongly mentioned for second
place on the ticket The gossip here
is that Colonel Roosevelt was willing
to have Stubbs run with him, in fact,
wanted him to. Governor Stubbs.
however, would have nothing to do
with the nomination for vice presi
dent. He wants to be senator, and
