Maui Team
Is Selected
Strong Nine Will Invade Oahu For
Regatta Day Ball
Game.

There was a meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association on Wednesday
night in the town hall and Il good
number of interested people turned
up. The principal business done
was to announce the names of the
players who are to go to Honolulu
for the Regatta Day ball games.
The following men were chosen:
l.. Soares, C; w. Bal, p; Kahaa-
winui, 1b; j. Garcia, 2b; Swan,
3b; G. Cummings, rf; H. English,
IS; A. Robinson, CT; Scholtz, If.
Subs, II. Baldwin, E. Baldwin, e..
Dunn; Mascot, Willie Cummigns.
There are three boys belonging to
Maui in Honolulu, and one or two
of them may be called upon to play
in some of the games with the Oahu
teams. II. Meyer may also go; it
all depends ON how his injured
knee gets on.
The meeting also took up the
matter of game for tomorrow and
it was decided that Picked nine
go up against the All-Maui outfit
that is selected to make the Oahu
trip. There were some opinions
expressed to the effect that the
Picked team could probably defeat
the selected nine. That will be
decided tomorrow, however, and
which ever way it goes, there should
be a great game. Special tickets
are being sold for the game, and
the money taken at the gates will
be devoted to paying part Of the
expenses of the Honolulu trip.
The question of the series that
will decided the Maui championship
was also taken up. 1t was decided
to play a best two out of three
series, and that the first game be
played on Sunday, September 2S.
Two umpires were named for the
series and they will be Ad. Chislett
and Louis Soares.

Drunlnlond Is
On Warpath

Supervisor Drummond, of Hama,
worked up quite a wordy row at
the meeting of the board of super
visors on Thursday last. The
trouble started when Drummond
declared that Hama was not getting
her share of coin for county works.
No explanations of supervisor Hen
ming would quieten the noisy one,
until it was pointed out to him
that the county this year would
not get its big wad" till about
December. The fact that the vari-
Gus estimates are made up on the
estimated revenue and not on what
is in the bank at the present time,
was made clear to Drummond at
last. During the little fash in the
pan it was made clear that the
county will have to go slow for a
couple of months till the money
begins to flow in.
There was another small heart
to heart talk, when the question of
the payment for the new sidewalk
OH Main street came up, 1t trans
pires that the total cost amounts to
81 500. The county pays half of
this and the abutting property
owners pay the other half. Drum
mond said that the county should
not pay for the improvement of
private property. He said that the
land owners should pay for all the
work.
1t did not seem to strike Drum
mond that the town people were
due a little consideration, and that
the town itself is much improved
by the sidewalk. The sidewalk is
considered to be a great convent
ence to the citizens, and all the
supervisors except Drummond
seemed to appreciate that fact.
