Big Time ON
MAUI AUG. Is

There are more applications for po-
sitions on the Honolulu tennis team
that IL to battle with Maui on the VAL
ley Island on August Is. than there
are places available. and this year
the scramble to make the journey to
Maui is keener than ever. Maui can
put only seven doubles teams in the
Held for the annual event, and SO only
fourteen racquet experts from here
can figure IN the games.
From present indications there will
be big doings at Puunene on the Sat
urday following Maui's Harvest
Home festival. In addition to the
tennis matches. there viii be base
ball game between A. L. Castles Pun
ahou amateurs and an AIl-Maui team
that is practicing up for the event.
This game viii be played at Wailuku
Saturday afternoon.
The swimming relay feature will be
pulled of as usual and dinner dance
will close the festivities, the Honolulu
crowd. accompanied by the Maui polo
team. being scheduled to return on
the Honolulan, leaving Maui at | a.

BAN ON sEANlNc.

Word has been passed around
among the National league pitchers
that It would be folly to bean Bob
Bescher of Cincinnati Bescher IS not
only very husky little person, but
he also gets quite wrathy when arous-
ed and no one at all to start anything
with. Considerable beaning or near
beanfng has been done Of late In the
National league and Bescher gave Il
out that he would like TO see q pitch
er sail a warm one near his head.
Because, he said, he would jolly well
throw his hat at 'em, he would. and
follow 1t up with a belt on the beezer.
What did he care about q fine and
suspension? And as Bob has been
known to do that same little thing on
previous occasion when almost
beaned by a pitcher, all the National
league slabmen are leaving him very
much alone.

1OOCLASSl TO
GET MATCHES
fBy Latest MALL

~
SAN FRANCISCO.-Sa Langfofd
Is the original child of hard luck AS
stated In the Call on Sunday morning,
he stands out as the only man in the
ring today who cannot get match
because he Is possessed of too much
ability. This was demonstrated yes
terday, when the supervisors refused
to allow lthe Boston tar baby to go on
with big Charley Miller in a four
round exhibition next Friday evening.
All sorts of protests were lodged
with the city fathers when it became
known that Langford had been signed
to box Miller.
( 1t was the general impression
among the faif minded sporls that
Miller would not stand chance
against the back bone crusher, as he
mas long Deens known. but Miller was
willing enough TO 60 on, so Promoter
Mitchell TOOK 1t into his head TO make
the mach, more for the purpose of
giving the local patrons OF the game
q glimpse at Langford than anything
else. But now ne must hustle Tor an
other suitable attraction.
{ The stopping OF the Langford. Miller
bout II proof positive that the people
OF San francisco do not care to look
upon the colored neayyweights any
more. They have seen enough Of
them, and II the white hopes cannot
af1ord them the amusement which
they crave, then they will be very
willing to pass up the big fellows en-
tlrely, and devote all their attentions
to the boxers in the other classes.
Naturally, Langford and his mana
ger, Joe Moodman, were sadly disap-
pointed at the action OF the city ia
Iflers.
The Boston tar baby was fairly
tickIed to get back on American soil
again, and ne sincerely hoped that he
would be able 10 make a creditable
showing against Miller, and thus re-
store himself in the good graces of
the San francisco ring patrons. But
his dream has been rudely inter-
rupted.
This practically means that there
will be no chance for Langford in San
Francisco. He may possibly be
matched with some other heavyweight
in the near future, but this is not at
all likely. The hopes have been pass
ing Sam up with such regularity of
late that nobody looks for them to
change their minds in hurry.
Dusky Sam fought in Australia till
i he could fight no more. He beat all
Corners over and over again, and he
beat them with such ease that the
sports of the land of the kangaroo be
came convinced that he was fully as
wonderful as the American reports
credited him with being.
He liked Australia and her people,
and he came home with boost for
Everybody and everything in the land
with the exception of Promoter Hugh
Mcintosh, whom he blamed for bad
Treatment

will pack their trunks and start fol

sLAMEs THE SCOUTS.

President Bob Hedges of the st.
Louis Browns is heavy on the scout
idea. Hedges thinks that scout has
more to do with the building of a
ball club than the manager, It's the
scouts business, he says, to land the
material with which TO build q club
and manager can't do anything with
out something to work with. Stovall,
he says, has done as well as could
possibly be expected with the materi+
al he has had and if he doesn't build
up a high-class team It's the scouts
fault He has instructed his secre-
tary, Branch Hickey, to call in the
three scouts out for the Browns and
take them to one of the Brown games.
BY watching the Browns play a while
Hedges figures his scouts will be bet
ter able to understand just the kind oil
ball players the Browns need The
chances are that this will show them
more clearly the kind of players the
Browns do not need.

There ouId be
-, Some Race Here

John Paul Jones, the great Cornell
miller. has run his last race on the
cinder path. He says so himself.
Jones graduated from Cornell this
year and is going into business. 1t
takes hard training to keep in cham
pfonship form, and Jones doesn't wish
1ither to spend the time on it or to
run when he isn't at his best
Jones' announcement has been re-
ceived with sorrow by the followers
Of athletics. They expected he would
agree to meet his rival, Abe Kiviat,
in special mile event. The majority
of college athletic experts believe
Jones is capable of beating any man
in the world at the distance, but there
are number of other athletic experts
who are of the opinion that Kiyiat can
take the Cornell man into camp.
Among them is Jim Sullivan, secre-
tary and treasurer Of the Amateur
Athletic Union. Mr.. Sullivan thinks
Kiviat is the greatest miller in the
world. II the pair were to meet when
at their best on an ideal track and
an ideal day there is still doubt but
the winner would travel the mile dis
lance in about minutes IL seconds.
With Jones on the retired list there
Is no chance for a meeting.
Greatest Ever Run.
The recent race of the intercollegi-
ates in Cambridge was the greatest
mile race ever run. Norman Taber,
of Brown, who finished second, came
within second of the old mark. Har-
mon, of Dartmouth, and Madeira, of
Penn, both ran the mile under 4 min
utes and 20 seconds.
Two years ago Jones smashed Tom
my Conneff's record, which stood for
seventeen years, when he went the
distance in minutes Is rs seconds.
His new record of minutes IA 2-5
seconds, made at Cambridge recently,
is likely to last, a long time.
Jones was recently voted the best
all-round man at Cornell. He is one
athlete who did not neglect his stud.
les and give all his time to the track.
Despite his duties as captain of the
varsity track team, he found time for
attention to his work in classrooms.
He completed course of engineering
and he stands so well that his serv-
ices have already been spoken for by
a large manufacturing concern in
Pittsburg. .-.........

Has DUMMIES ALREADY.

Jimmy Callahan, manager of the
White Sox. will have his little pleas
antry. A few days ago in St Louis,
Percy Skillen, a former Dartmouth
pitcher of repute and at present in
the sporting goods business, tried to
sell Callahan contrivance he had in
vented TO help young pitchers develop
control. The thing Is dummy ball
player that stands at the plate bat
in hand and offers the pitcher plenty
of practice at putting them over with
out fear of beaning anyone or being
ratified by the batter's remark. Gala
han admitted that it looked like a
good idea, but he wouldn't buy. What
do want with one Of those when
I've got three or four on my pay
roll now?" said he I'll use the dunn.

GET SICK PREACHING HEALrA.


Coaching college athletic teams, ac-
cording to those who have been there,
is not exactly a large fat sinecure. 1t
Is a difficult matter for those who
tutor the collegians in campus pas
times to retain their own health and
vigor. The work is strenuous and en-
ervating. Mike Murphy, the great
est coach of all times and the maker
of more world famous athletes than
any other ten coaches, broke down his
own health in teaching others how to
preserve theirs AloDzo Stagg, the
Chicago University athletic expert,

service and is now in Denver trying
to recover his strength. In bringing
about the physical perfection of 9TH
