IN an .endeavor to improve the gem
! eral standard of English field ath-
letics before the next Olympic games.
the Field Events Association has
evolved the plan of awarding medals
to all British athletes who equal or
exceed certain set standards during
the season of 1913. The medals can
be won at any time and at any meet,
thereby differing from the standard
medals given by the Amateur Athletic
Association, which are only granted to
competitors in a championship meet.
For the first year the standards have
been made moderate, comparing fav-
orably with American interscholastie
marks, and being as follows:
Running broad jump, % feet; hop,
step and jump, 43 feet; standing
broad jump, feet inches; running
high jump, 4 feet inches; pole vault,
10 feet s inches; javelin throw, 100
feet; discus, $50 feet; shot put, IS
feet; hammer throw, $50 feet; cricket
ball throw, 10 yards.
THAT the All-Hawaiian baseball
team began to make publicity for
the islands even before the players
reached the mainland, is evidenced by
the following from a recent issue Of
the Seattle Post-IntelIigencer
Mrs. e. NJ. Rhodes, of Seattle, writ
ing to the Post-Intelligencer on board
the steamer Sierra as it left Homo
lulu, gives interesting information
about the Hawaiian baseball team
that is to play in the United States.
She says:
Leaving Honolulu May 81 on the
steamship Sierra was a bunch of Ha-
waiian boys who are going to show
Nebraska and the Middle Western
states how the natives OF the Sunny
South seas can play baseball
Mr.. G. w. Green made a flying trip
from Lincoln, Neb., to gather up his
team of Kanakas, spending only-three
or four strenuous days getting them
all ready. 1t was necessary to wire
Less to one of the distant islands to
get young Desha to join the Sierra in
Honolulu. I4ota, the crackef-jack
pitcher, showed his mettle by pitch
ing twenty-five innings in game the
day before leaving Honolulu.
The boys were given great send
off. as each, lei-bedecked and carry
ing his ukulele, climbed on board the
steamer. All were happy in the pleas
urable anticipation of their first trip
to the mainland as with one or
two exceptions this is the first time
they have left their beloved islands.
The bunch are big, husky young
sters, varying in age from IL to "a,
and the baseball fans may well keep
their eye on them in the future.
The team lines up as follows: Abe
Lota and Billy Williams. pitchers;
Ed. Desha, catcher; Billy Desha, out.
field; Ed. Hamauku. second base
Alex. Desha, third base; Harry Chill
