The Musical.

The audience that gathered at
Vivier's opera house last night to
hear the recital given for the benefit
of the Major Brown Memorial Park
Fund was not nearly SO large as the
merits OF the performance would
have warranted. 1t was an apprecia-
tive audience, however, and each
number Of the really excellent pro-
gram rendered was received with
warmth that showed that the hearers
were in full accord with the artists
who were entertaining them.
Miss McCalmont was delightful.
Although she has been residing in
Brownsville for many months. last
night was the first time that she has
sung before Brownsville audience.
Miss McCalmont has a grand voice,
of splendid quality range and vol
ume, flexible and sweet, combined
with a musical warmth that is eX-
tremely pleasant. Her selections
were especially good, and gave ample
opportunity to display her musical
talents Each number rendered by
her illustrated her vocal powers.
Happy Song was rendered with a
snap and brilliancy that was charm
ing. Following this, the Shepherds
Cradle Song" a lullaby, sweet and
soothing in effect, offered a striking
contrast. Miss McCalmont was
thoroughly appreciated by those
present.
DR.. Major Schofield sang Ever
Bravest Heart" from Faust in very
pleasing way. He possesses a bari
tone voice of superior quality, his
notes being rich and mellow. lie
was heartily encored, and to please
| the audience he returned, giving a
pretty ballad this time. which was
equally enjoyed.
Miss Laverne Morris was accom-
panist for Miss McCalmont and DR.
Schofield Miss Morris made a de-
lightful accompanist, her exquisite
touch giving color to the music that
added greatly to the success of the
singers.
Mrs Ella Pomeroy in explaining
the De Busy music Dance of Puck
and "Minstrels,'' said that the Ger
mans called the music atrocious;
that the French thought it quite ex-
cellent, and that the Americans were
divided in their opinion. Although
to a poor scribe. the De Busy music
sounded like what we know as rag
music, excepting that there was nc

HEALANI CLUB
MUST MOVE

Whether the boathouse of the Hea-
lani Yacht and Boat Club will have
to be moved from it's present location
is a question that hinges on the &C
ton of the board OF harbor commits
sioners on the. proposition placed be-
fore that body for an eXChanve of
waterfront property with the Inter
Island Steam Navigation company.
The Inter-Island wants to install
in the slip on the Eva side of the
Healani boathouse. Part of this land,
including that on which the boat
house is situated, is government pro-
perty, on which the club is a tenant
at will. Part of the space occupied
by the club building will be required
for the drydock, and if the latter is
installed the slip will be dredged to
a depth of about forty feet.
The proposition to give this land
to the Inter-Island in exchange for
4424 feet of other land is now before
the harbor commissioners in the form
be voted on at the next meeting, next
Wednesday afternoon.
Marston Campbell, chairman Of the
board announced himself opposed to
the exchange, saying he preferred
giving the company license to use
the land, the license to have life so
long as the space is used for dry
dock purposes.
Just what provision, if any, will be
made for the boat club has not been
determined.

a new interest this season. The prob

defensive work, so that il was almost
impossible for two clubs of any.

West a score of strong institutions OF
learning are rapidly forging to the
front
The days of the old Yale line. the
stories of her heroic defense In the
last ditch, and the brilliant exploits
Of the Harvard back field now divide
popular interest with football affairs
at Michigan, Chicago. and the Uni
versity of Minnesota. II the western
football team is not already the equal
Of the eastern. IL is fast gaining that
coveted position and the day when
supremacy in the football world will
be settled by contest between Har-
ward and Yale or Yale and Princeton
is passing. And with this day, Ia new
era in football affairs Is dawnfng, an
era where the breezy spirit OF foot,
ball has outgrown the narrow bounds
of a half-dozen major eastern colleges
and has become vital element In
the athletic growth of a score Of
strong western universities.
And with the dawning of this era
passes from view the influence OF
that picturesque figure, Walter Camp,
who has long dominated the records
of the gridiron. His judgment, which
for years has alone decided the plac
ing of the laurel crown upon the
heads of the leading football play
ers of the year, is no longer suffi-
cient to compass the greatly enlarg-
ed and diversified field of football.
Walter Camp has been at least an
honest Judge, and has never passed
an opinion upon player whom he
has not seen in action, but the foot
ball season is not long enough for
him to make the rounds OF all the
leading games. The very brevity Of
its schedule prevents his longer be-

FOOTBALL OFFICIAL
lNVENTS INDICATOR
TO MARK THE DOWNS

Al Farrier. the former Dartmouth
centre and member of the All. Amer.
lean team, has devised an apparatus
for marking the number of downs
and the position of the bali in foot
hall games, which has proved very
satisfactory. Farrier is a mechanical
engineer now and his practical mind
saw the necessity for something of
this kind and then invented it. The
device was used at the Commerce.
Curtis game at New Brighton, where
Farrier officiated as referee.
The apparatus consists of an indi.
Gator about foot square attached tC
the end of a six foot pole. The
whole instrument is painted white
so that il readily can be seen across
the field. A spring, which is released
by a button, snaps up the numbers
from l to and all that the head
Iinesman has to do at the beginning
CT each scrimmage is to press the
button and up flies the number Of
the down so that it can be seen by
the players, officials and spectators.
The pole is held at a point parallel
with the ball and indicates its posi-.
ton.
Farrier also had with him short iron
stakes painted white and one of these
was left at the spot from which the
previous scrimmage was made SO
that penalties could be inflicted from
this point when the rules so desig.I
mated This idea was originated by
Levine of Pennsylvania and is in
dorsed by officials, although it has
Tot been recognized yet by the rules
committee. Those who saw the two
devices thought that they both we're
worthy of adoption for use in all the
games.

Chinese WILL CD AGAINST THE
HAWAI|S IN SATURDAYS GAME
Local Fans Will Have Much
Desired Chance of Seeing the
Travelling Champions in Ac-
ton Against Senior League
Team

The momentOus question OF wheth-
er the All-Chinese team should be
sent against the Hawaiis or the J. A.
Cs. next Saturday was definitely set
tied yesterday, after several days OF
discussion. The Hawaiis will attempt
TO hold the travelling champs in
check, the J. A. CS. waiting until the
following Saturday.
From the standpoint of the fans
the selection made but little differ
ence. What the general public
wants is to see the Chinese players
in action, and the Hawaiis are we'll
able to make them extend themselves,
although from their position in the
the Japanese are the stronger COM
bination at the present time.
At Athletic Park yesterday after
noon, there were probably half
hundred baseball enthusiasts out to
get a glimpse of the Chinese players.
One of the most interested spectators
was En- Sue, the we'll known athlete,
who was prevented at the last mo-
ment from accompanying the team.
The players, as we'll as Trainer Sam
Hop, seemed to like the diamond and
are preparing I'm earnest for the game
on Saturday afternoon. According to-
Asst. Captain Apau Kau, one hundred
and twenty out of the one hundred
and forty passengers who came down
on the Sierra last Monday will be
out at the park to see the game. All

A ball player is loyal to his uni,
FORM" says Joe Tinker, "and yoI
cannot shake that loyalty with brides
or prayers. Yet, when that same
ball PLAYER changes his uniform, he
transfers that loyalty with the shit
of clothing-he Is, from that moment,
the faithful and devoted warrior OF
his new aggregation, and there is nc
trick of the game that he won't work
upon his former team mates, il he
can. The sentiment of years, per.
haps, may have bound him to the
old cIub--and yet as soon as the new
letters stand out upon his shirt-front
all he thinks about is how he can use
the knowledge of the by-gone years
to help his new team beat the old
one. In all the years I've seen the
game, remember only one man who
forgot he was traded, and that one
case was so funny that it gave me
the best laugh OF the season.
Several years ago, the Chicago
team made sudden, hurry-up trade
with Boston. 1t was, beyond a doubt,
the quickest trade ever consummated
in the fast company. The men rode
cut to the ball park with their Oil
teams, not even dreaming that deaf
was under way, got into uniform and
practiced. Meanwhile, the two man.
ayers got together in the office,
found that each was wholly agree
able TO a swap, and shook hands on

walked out to the field, told the ath
letes concerned of the exchange, and
ordered them to hurry into their re
