MAUI COUNTRY
CLUB PROJECT
NOW Launched

Especial Star-BuIletin Correspondence
j. WAILUKU, Maui, April ia most
enthusiastic meeting of the charter
members of the Maui Boat and Coun-
try Club was held at the Masonic
Temple, Kahului, on Monday evening.
In spite of the terrible downpour
of rain about six o'clock, thirty people
Interested in the new project were
present.
The evening was spent in more or
less informal discussion of the new
Maui Country Club, which promises to
be one of the best undertakings on
Maui for years. In fact, the whole
island is giving it most hearty sup
port. 1t was voted to increase the
initiation to $40 and to put the first
fee in the form of stock in the COM
pany, allowing each member as many
shares of stock as he wishes, but with
only one vote in the meetings of the
corporation. The company is already
legally organized, 50 that the taking
cut of shares of stock is now just a
formal way to boost the enterprise.
A considerable number of shares are
already sold, so it is reported. The
Dues will be only $500 per year.
The committee previously appoint
ed to look into the necessary details
pertaining to the organization has
found suitable site that was report
ed at the meeting of Monday. 1t is
located on the beautiful Beach just
beyond the residence of William Scar
by, and commands one of the finest
views in Central Maui of the West
Maui mountains, Haleakale and the
acean. The site could not be better
selected for the convenience of all
prospective members. The land about
this location is ideal for golf, tennis,
and even for polo field if such
should at any time be desired. The
ocean bathing is also fine, and the
beach one of the best on Maui. There
is another decided advantage in the
location, in that it is not far from
the railroad .-:-:
The plans for the proposed club
house were also submitted. These
call for large lanai facing the sea
with rooms to either side The lanai
is 60X40. Back of these makai rooms
are a large children's play room and
dressing rooms for the members. On
the lanai is fine stage and it is
suggested that this would be an ex-
cellent place for entertainments such
as Maui people give from time to
time The location would be very
central for entertainments of all
kinds. 49,. r.. .r:...-f
The following officers were elected
on Monday evening: William Searby,
president; II. w. Rice, vice-president;

THE JOB Again

Sunny Jim" will soon be heard from
again among the nations mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine. This year Mr.
McCand1ess stands a first rate show
of being elected outer guard of the
Imperial Council, an Office for which
he stood highest in last years election
at Los Angeles. The thirty-ninttll an
nual session of the Imperial Council
will be held in the city of Dallas,
Texas, on May 13 and IA next, and
j. S. McCandless will be there as a
delegate from Aloha temple, Honolulu,
which he has represented at the an
nual sessions for many years past.
Than Mr.. McCandless there are
probably few Shriners more widely
known and highly esteemed in the
length and breadth of the country,
and at every session of the national
body he has attended he has carried
out some attractive scheme for plac-
ing Hawaii on the Illuminated screen
His artistic souvenirs of Hawaii are
among the household gods of Shriner
homes all over the United States. A
whole page of the program Of the con-
cert, military ball and drill at Los
Angeles was devoted to tribute to
Mr.. McCandless, embellished. by his
portrait, which was signed by George
Filmer, chairman of the Hawaiian pill
griuage. The author asked who was
better known among his brother
Shriners than Sunny j:n" and more
loved by every Noble who knew him,
and said it was through his personal
efforts that the steamer .Wilhelmina

His ambition to strike out some star
siugger like a Cobb or a Crawford is
so keen that he will suddenly cut
loose with all of his speed or a curve
ball. Such tactics always arouse the
lie of the manager or his coach, who
has the particular pitcher in tow, and
&; sharp call-down usually follows. @.
The desire to show off, though, is
usually so keen among the juveniles
that they cannot help cutting loose
Many of them, anxious to make good
in the fast set, have worked outdoors
for some time before going South.
They want their relatives and friends
at home to hear Of their good work,
and they take chances of getting a
call-down, too, in order to make an
impression. D, .-..-...a. l..
1t is this habit which keeps the
regulars on a team on the anxious
bench. They have not had chance
of having their eyes sharpened, and
they are just as wary of speed and
curves, at the start as any person
could be. Being "plunked" on the
arm, body or head is not a sensation
that any ball tosser enjoys.

YOUNG HEAVERS MUST
LEARN TO HOLD BACK

When the major league baseball
teams were at work down South. much
was read by the fans regarding the
showing made by the young players
rs fielders, batsmen and base runners.
The lads who hit straight bail over
the fence for a home run or who pull
down fly ball after a hard run got
their names in the headlines.
The plays look good, and as no one
can tell whether the youngsters could
do the same things in championship
games, they are given full credit by
the war correspondents for their feats.
Little, though, will be heard for d
time about another class of players.
These men are the young twirlers who
have been gathered from schools, col
leges, minor leagues and town lots
While the infieiders and outfeiders
will be speeding up their plays in the
hope of catching the eyes of their
manager, the juvenile twirlers will be

An incident in the pre- season game
between the Tigers and cincinnatis at
Mobile recently elected an interesting
aneedote from Mickey Finn. the Mo-
bile manager, and one of the best
known men in minor league baseball.
The happening that started Mr.
F:nn's reminiscent flow was a spirited
kick by Beals Becker of the Reds. aft
eI he had been called out on third
strike that cut the plate .aist high.
For a minute or so after being in
formed that he was officially a dead
bird, Becker stood at the plate and
grabbed, although everybody else in
the park thought that there was ab.
solutely no room for argument over
this particular decision.
Letting good third strikes sail over
the plate always has been habit OF
Becker's," said Finn. Il remember
one day when he was with Mobile trat
he failed to offer at one that was right
in the groove and thereby cost US a
cEance to win the game.
Bases Were Filled.

As a matter q fact it isn't likely
that balls will be clipping the new
turf until the late summer or early

JUNIOR
COMBINATION
WHALED

There was a terrible slaughter at
Punahou yesterday afternoon, when
the juniors and the freshmen-sopho-
mores mixed for the second game of
the inter-ciass baseball series. At
the end of the seventh inning the
score was ITO in favor of the juniors,
so the Observation-Disclosures surrend-
cred the game to them without fur
ther contest It is doubtful if the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. could have
scored a single run if they had con-
tinued to the bitter end.
The greatest weakness of the lower
classmen was that they did not have
real pitcher. Several men tried
their luck at hurting but all failed
miserably In the seven innings play
ed eleven juniors walked to first,
while only two OF the lower classmen
got there without working. Coney
made the best attempt at pitching for
the freshmen-sophomores. While he
was in, only three men walked. The
other pitchers records were much
worse
The pitcher was not the only weak
team however Fielding was poor and
the juniors owe several of their
points to this fact
Game Losers
Although the Observation-Disclosures
played badly, they are to be compli-
mented rather than knocked on what
they did. They made splendid at
tempt at the game, fought hard, and,
what is more important than all, lost
with good spirit-.the Punahou
spirit. The lower classmen have had
hard luck all through, and that they
were able to put out team at all
is wonder. There was not a pitcher
In either class, and most of the other
positions were weak Practice did a
lot for the men, but in the short time
available not much progress was
made The team intends to keep on
trying however, with the hope of do
ing better next time.
Mr.. Burdick umpired the game and
G. NOR was scorekeeper,
The line-ups were as follows.

Land PROBLEM

certain Piihonua lands at Hilo, and
says with regard to the Waiakea
lands at Hilo, that a satisfactory
transfer can be made, opening up at
least 1000 acres to homesteaders.
The report recommends early atten-

eminent by the Waiakea Mill COM
pany. It does not intimate what ac-
tion, if any, can be taken by the legis-
lature, however. ...
1t sets forth that the lands of Waia-
kea held by the mill company under
general lease No. 124 comprise an area
of 96,9SS acres, and that the lease will
expire June l, 1918, and says that TN

Y Cobb Giues
Batting Hints

To young ball players who have
asked me how to bat, I would say,
first of all, select a bat of good wood,
close grain and little heavier than
you believe is suited to you.s Then,
in taking your position at the plate,
assume the most natural pose. Do
not try to copy after some other bat
ter you have seen.
Make yourself feel comfortable.
Don't spread your feet far apart, but
From that position you can step in
or out on bali that is away from
you or close to YOU.
You can shift your feet to much
better advantage. II you rest more
weight on one foot than the other you
viii be awkward and slow in going
after balls that are not directly over
and pitched at different angles.
Grasp the Bat Tightly.
A player should grasp the bat with.
his hands slightly separated and with
q very firm grip. Get a position on
the bat where 1t feels balanced and
easy to handle. Don't by any means
catch ii near the small end.
Don't get into the habit of taking
strikes. Always hit at the first or
second good ball over. It's for you
to Judge this and no man living can
tip you. remember a player who
was told by the manager that the
opposing twirler was a first ball
pitcher"
BY that was meant that he always
put the first one straight over, figur-
ing that the batter would look one
over.
go up there and hit that first
one" the manager told this player
when he was picking up his bat. And
that's exactly what the player did. 1t
mattered not that the first one hap
pened to be curve so far on the out
side that he could not have reached
II with the flsgpole.
He had been told to hit the first
one and accepted those instructions
literally. That illustrates just what
i meant when / say player must use
Judgment and study his pitcher.
OF course, il the game is in the bal
ance and you are instructed by the
manager to wait the pitcher out, then
man can look several over in his
endeavor to get q base on balls. But
with the bases populated, when you
know it is up to you, crack the first
good one that comes over. 1t may
be the only good one YOU will see.
When You get confidence and know
that you are pretty good hitter, it
is well to watch for shifts in the in
field or outfield. Particularly watch
for sshifts where you are most likely
to drop ball safe. This. of course,
needs a lot of practice and is very
dangerous undertaking in close games.
How to Improve Batting.
Batting, ! believe, can be improved
by a great amount of close study and
observation. Many people contend
that good batters are born. But a
player by persistent study and

shrewdness can increase his ability
TO great extent. / know player
who was completely baffled by a
pitcher one day and struck out three
times in a single game. He was the
maddest man ever saw.
"I'll hit that boob if have to use
a tennis racket" he said that night
going to the hotel in the taxi The
next day he was out bright and early
for morning practice and asked one
of the crack southpaws on his club
1t was a lefthander who had fooled
him-to pitch to him as nearly like
his Nemesis as possible and put
everything he could on the ball.
He passed an hour swinging at the
low curve which had baffled him and
mastered il to such an extent that
the next time the southpaw in ques-
and two singles. That illustrates
what you can do if you make up your
mind to do it. f.
Practice Against Speed.
In batting practice always be sure
20 hit against pitcher on your own
club who fools you most 1t is a
good plan to practice hitting against
{ twirler who has style nearest like
the man who viii oppose you that
day and YOU usually have a suspi.
cion who it will be in the major or
minor leagues. BY that | mean, If
you are going to look at lots of smoke
that day, get your eyes accustomed
to it by practicing against the pitcher
on your own club who has the fastest
ball and is available.
