HETIiER, When tne tu-
M mutt of war has died
down, Constantinople shall
be left in the hands OF
the Turks. shall be handed over to
one of the nationalities which have
battled their way to it's gates or shall
be ruled by a commission of the pow
ers Us one of the principal vexed ques-
tons arising out of the Turko- TALK
war. 1t is a question that ha before
the present time set the great powers
of Europe by the ears. So much de-
ponds upon its proper settlement for
all time that it should not and cannot
be regarded lightly.
To begin with, C~onstantinople is M
of the very large cities of the world.
It's population is well over a million. of
whom about two-thirds are Moham-
medans The remainder are divided
among a great number of nationalities,
for Constantinople is probably the most
cosmopolitan of the earth's cities.
There are gathered men and women
from every far and near corner OF the
earth. In the second place, the city
has been of great commercial impor-
lance in the past and may be rehabili-
tated under progressive. civilized rule.
1t sits at the receipt of customs" for
the east and the west and should take
toll from tho caravan Of the orient as
well as from the freight train of the
occident. Thirdly, 1t is a city OF an
cient history and tradition and h OBJ
ject of generation and desire on the
part of many nationalities.
Europe shuddered when CONSTANT
nople fell into the hands of tho Turk
on May 90, 1853. Its submission to Mo-
manned II. marked the extinction of
the Roman power that had ruled the
world. Centuries before Rome itself
had fallen prey TO the barbarian.

The picture shows Judge Martin j.

mood. Judge Wade's speciality Is ora

that, that he's "a voice and nothing
besides" should think again. He is con-

GREAT
RACE due TO
M'ALEER .
By W j. Macbeth.

Let me introduce James r. McAleer,
president of the Boston Americans.
Here is on of the most remarkable
men of baseball history. He is remark
allie because he appreciates the honor
able dignity of his position as few
magnates do. He keeps his hands en-
tirely free from the playing end OF
the Red Sox and thereby sets an eX-
ample that would profit about nine
tenths of the club presidents of the
major leagues.
There is naturally, great tempta-
ton for club owners to tritte., They
say quite rightly, Its my money, and
I'm going to have my say" More than
three-quarters of the major league
baseball leaders are hand"uffed I'D
manacled before they assume a leader
ship. Club presidents and big stock
holders are the real managers. Those
credited with the title are simply de-
coys.
The one man in the big show per-
fectly qualified to offer advice to his
manager is Jimmy McAleer, president
of the pace-making Boston Speed Boys
Yet he has never so much as batted
az eyelash in the direction of Jake
Stahl. McAleer went to Boston as
head of the American League Club an
experienced manager. Previous to his
long managerial connections fifth the
Browns and the Senators he had shone
for many years as one of the most re-
markable outtielders of any time.
Knows The Game.
McAleer knows baseball from every
angle backwards. But in knowing that
a presidents position is truly eAecu-
tive one he holds the whip-hand over
his distanced rivals. No one in the
American League is better qualified to
interfere in the management of a
club, yet McAleer always keeps in the
background and lets Stahl really man
age and reap whatever glory lies in
success.
The Boston Red Sox are the great
baseball surprise of 1912. NOBODY
dreamed when the campaign opened
that the Hub had the ghost of show
with the worlds champion Athletics.

RACE IS
. ASSURED FOR
sEP1+2. /.
~ &g

In spite of, the fact that Vincent
Comes mas withdrawn from the Hale
iwa-Waikiki race, the contest viii be
pulled off On September 2, Labor Day,
as originally scheduled. This was def
initeIy announced today, when six
long7diAance fiends crossed their
that they would run in the event.
The race originated over dispute
between Nigel Jackson and Vincent
Comes as to which man was the best
over the grueling course, both having
won a Haleiwa marathon. Each was
to put up a side bet of $780, and
Jack Scully of the Waikiki Inn, where
the race is to finish, Clipped in $50
to fatten the pot for the winner.
Once the race was announced the
marathon bug bit several other enthu-
siasts, who clamored for a chance to
run their. legs off in the little jaunt
of SO miles over mountains and
through red dust. Their entries were
accepted, and several other side bets
were. made between contestants. A
few days ago Comes said that his leg
had gone back on him, and that
sprained tendon would prevent his
taking part. The money hadn't been
posted, so he merely scratched his en-
try and stepped down and out.
Jackson and kalea put up a small
side bet of $25, and decided to run for
Scully's $50, and this bait also tempt
ed John Hau, winner of the Haleiwa
race last Kamehameha Day; Eddie
Brown, who finished second; Mele Ka-
lama and G. X Charlie, the little
"pake" runner.
This field of six will positively start,
according to Nigel Jackson, who is
making arrangements. The men will
be sent off from the Haleiwa Hotel at
1870 a. m, and expect to finish at Wa
ikiki Inn somewhere about noon. All
are confident that the time will be-
faster than last June, as the men
know the difficulties of the course
and will set a more moderate pace at
the start.

Some time after the Civil War Roth

fact, no one could touch him for the
short sprint
Last Saturday he swan the final
lap for the Honolulu team in the
swimming relay at Puunene, and won
in sensational style, after getting away

speed did Roth show that his friends
want him to try conclusions with
Duke Kahanamoku over the 25-yard
distance. There is one local clubman
with sporting propensities who says

can beat. Duke for rs yards in open

"a fDiPIomat.
Il james R. McAleer is the answer
He's fthe buffer that stands between
Jake Stahl and interference, and Jake
a practically inexperienced man atlthe
business, has made good with rush.
Jake is great player and a wise
head. But it is so to bet that he
wouldn't have delivered the goods I'M
der former Boston conditions, lucky
as the Hub was in drawing a reai
pitching staff for the first time since
1905.
With McAleer's case so strikingly
before them, doesn't it seem wonder
that the rest of the American league
magnates do not get on to them
selves? They simply must NEEDLE or
let Ban Johnson NEEDLE for them.
Perhaps McAleer would have felt DIFF
ferently himself had not presidential
interference made his long experience
in st. Louis one of gall and worm
wood. Experience is the great teach
er and all club presidents have not the
brains or ability to get into the kin

which McAleer graduated.
