Five thousand Michigan men, from
nearly every walk of life have recent
ly set an example, which may well be
| followed by the whole United States,
by building $50 miles of excellent au-
tomobile road ina single day. And
the women of the northeastern part Of
the state, through which the new high
way runs, are entitled to much credit,
| too, for while their husbands, fathers,
brothers and sweethearts labored at
digging and blowing and grading, these
women cooked meals that put new
heart in the muscle-weary workers
and made this most notable. accom-
plishment possible
AS a result of the labors of these
Michigan people, on Monday, May 9th,
there now is an unbroken line of grav-
eled highway for over $50 miles from
Bay City, to .Mackinaw City, where
two days before there was mile after

FANS BALkAT
BIG GUARANTEE

Prominent business men of the
city, who are also baseball enthusi-
aSts, are interesting themselves in
securing game here between the
New York Giants and Chicago White
SoX, when these major league teams
travel to the Orient next November.
Albert Waterhouse is the prime NOV
err in a scheme to raise a guarantee
Of $500 each from ten men, to make
up the amount demanded for the
game. ~. : =. .-.:..
However, there is strong opposi
ton by a number of fans on the
ground that the guarantee asked is
exorbitant, and also that it is unfair
To expect Honolulu people to come
through with any such amount in
case the game is called off on ac-
count of rain, there being no exemp-
ton clause in the proposal made a
day or SO ago to the promotion COM
mittee. :. ~.
The fact that negotiations are be-
ing carried on by Southern Pacific
railroad, officials leads to the belief
that the company is trying to route
tie two teams over its rail and steam
ship lines. by offering the big Homo
lulu guarantee as bait to draw the
baseball men away from the northern
route. Should the Giants and White
Sox cross on a Pacific Mail liner,
they would be put to no additional ex.
pense, and no loss of time, to play a
game here All they would have to
do would be to put on their uniforms
and stretch their legs while the
steamer was I'm port, Under these
conditions, $4,000 is considered out of
all proportion as guarantee, and
when there is fair chance of having
TO pay coin without any game being
played at all, local sport promoters
and publicity workers. draw the line.
Chairman Fred l.. Waldron of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee said
this morning that he didn't favor any
arrangement by which Honolulu had
to pay the guarantee if there was no
game played. There are many who
think the $4,000 guarantee too steep;
al this figure there is practically no
chance to break even at the gate.
