Communicated

Sporting Editor, Star-Bulletin,
Sir:-That Honolulu is turning out
some Of the best baseball players in
the world Is youched for by the teams
that are at present on the mainland
and winning over eighty per cent OF
the games played against any and all
teams under professionals. But there
is one failing among the local players,
while on the diamond, that, IL elimin-
ated would make a better game here
of the sport
| refer to the fault of a batter, aft
er batting an. easy" fly, to neglect
to run for first base, he, taking 1t
for granted that the fly will be caught
and that it would be a waste Of time
in an attempt to reach first.
/ am fully convince that the clos
ing game at Moiliili on last Saturday
was lost to the Puns through the
failure of Brown to run for first aft
er he had batted a beautiful easy fly
to the third baseman. Brown even
turned his back on the scene. But
the third baseman dropped the ball.
then there was cry of run run, .
and Brown started but it was too
late, and they got him..
This condition of affairs happened
no less than three times In that one
game, the c. DIS being guilty twice.
1t seems to me to. be good plan to
run out every batted ball and not
quit until told to do SO by the UNI
pire.

OPENINGGOLF
TOURNAMENT A
GREAT SUCCESS

The tournament that opened the
Oahu Country Clubs new 1S-hole golf
course last Saturday. proved even
more OF a success than was antici-
pated, and the record entry list in
the clubs history, 81, sampled the
new fair green and putting surfaces.
OF course the new ground Is rough,
that was to be expected, and some OF
the putting greens are sad, but the
fact that q card of SO was turned in
shows that good golf Is practicable.
The course will improve right along
now, and in a few months should be
In good shape.
C. G. Bockus had the best net score
with a gross 80 and an allowance Of
IL strokes. Harold Giffard won the
cup presented by Wall & Dougherty,
for the best gross, with nice SO.
Yesterday Giffard knocked two
strokes off of this, and now holds the
course record with 81, but this will
likely have hole knocked in it be-
fore many days. DR.. l. J. Shepherd,
z. /. Spalding and Frank Halstead
tied for second best net. and Halstead
took the prize, winning the toss-up
that decided its ownership. Hal
stead's gross was only one behind the
winning figures.
A stag dinner and smoker was CIV
en- at the Club Saturday evening in
honor Of the event, and altogether the
new course was opened under the
most suspicious circumstances.
Following are fhe scores.
