The fielding defects of players are
known to Mack. He can tell you,
even without consulting his book, that
such a player covers more ground to
his right than left. and that another
player ia surer Of q ball to his left

to hit in certain directions and the
throwing ability Of all the best out

book, 1t may be said that it is com
pendulum of valuable baseball infor-

manager posse sses a record similar In

/ 1T must be done in practical way
and be reasonable and considerable of
all property interests. An ounce Of
ed to be worth the pound of cure.
Many of our streets are filed with a
traffic which they are unable to carry
with safetys and the requisite speed.
Much of our city is so built upon that
the surroundings are Injurious to
morals, physical or civic health and
certainly not conducive to industrial
or commercial efficiency. The under
ground work necessary for sanitation
and drainage should be carefully pro-
yided.
Il am a firm believer in wide
streets, but the roadway should be
restricted to a width which will ac-
commodate the traffic which can be
reasonably imposed upon it, and the
so called sidewalk strip or space be-
tween the lot and curb line receive a
liberal treatment for it has other
functions than merely to accommo-
date the foot passenger On it's in
telligent treatment the beauty and
attractiveness of the street depends.
How much better appearance would
Makiki street, for instance, present if
the space between curbs was reduced
to Is feet and the sides of the street
properly parked, and how much less
to the owner would be the cost of the
permanent paving which he is to be
called upon to pay for and maintain.
"Mr. Ceres idea in having the
property owner pay for the entire
cost of street improvement is one
that is subject to an honest differ
ence of opinion, but the final say in
determining. the most equitable pro-
portion that the city should pay rests
with the supervisors. think there
fore, that it is their move next. They
must determine this proportion and
formulate an equitable plan. Work
ing under such a plan, man from
Kalihi will know when improvements
are made in Manoa, that Manoa is
paying its just share, and much Of the
Nife pulling and destructive politics
which are being done today will be
eliminated, and here ! would like to
voice my sentiment by saying that
the present road committee of the
board. under its able chairman, Les
ter Petrie. has given US more for our
money in good roads and permanent
pavements than our city has pre-
Viously received.
