PENNANT RACE
HURT BY PRE-
SEASON GAMES

Wars and rumors of wars in the
Oahu League put island baseball in the
same class as European politics. There
is no doubt but that a general spirit
of unrest pervades the organization
and that the team managers are scrap
ping among themselves What is
somewhat unusual, the players are
fairly contenteds althongh most of the
teams are run on cooperative basis
and individual profits depend on gen
eral attendance. The magnates are
the ones who are doing the talking,
and from bits of information let slip
here and there, it would seem that a
general crouch is on duty. The UNI
pire staff is coming in fer a lot Of
knocking, the last two games having
brought up points which gave rise to
questionable decisions. ....... +
When all is said and done, however,
the Oahu League has only itself to
blame for the falling off of public in
terest 1t was pointed out some
months ago, when the question of
bringing coast team here for a pre-
season series was preached, that to do
this would kill interest in the local
series. Honolulu was baseball crazy
at the time, and the Oahu League di-
rectors saw some real money in sight,
and grabbed it off. Now the general
average is being struck by slim gates
for the regular series. There is little
or no interest in the pennant race, and
the fans have for once got an over
dose of baseball, and are staying away
from the park. t>s=. l.. 8. f..
1t is fact that there are too many
clubs in the Oahu League, but the pre-
sent membership was practically fore
ed on the directors. 1t will be remem-
bered that the St Louis team to all
irtents and purposes forced its way
into the league with Jimmy, after
having been refused adnittanee. Those
interested in the ST. Louis organization
held renewal of the lease on a por-
ton of Athletic park over the league
as a whip to bring the directors into
line, and the latter decided to re
consider"
Now things are looking sqtially, and
the alibi club is meeting every day.

civilian teams have already entered,
Is to be staged by the National Guard
OF Hawaii al the armory September
"a, % and &c. 4 decade ago the sport
was a winner in Honolulu, and il is
thought that a revival will prove Dopu-

sport, when the teams are evenly
matched, and when there is consider
able rivalry, and with keen competition
between the several military organiza-
tions, and between civilian and service
teams. there is apt to be all the excite
ment that the game affords.
Although the scheme for a big tour
nament is hardly more than few days
old, lot of interest has been shown,
and already several teams are in the
field incidentally cash prizes that are
worth while have been hung up by the
national guard, $3.50, SIS and s. being
offered for the first, second and third
teams respectively.
The 25th Infantry, the LIST Field Ar
tillery and the National Guard OF Ha-
wall have definitely entered teams, and
Yesterday the 25th started work and
training. 1t is expected that the lst
and End Infantry, the engineers, the
signal corps, and the several coast ar
tillery posts around the city will COM
pIete the army representation, and
that the navy viii probably also enter
a team. Then the longshoremen. the

and unions have been sounded out ana
will probably go after the prize.

poMBARD1ER WELLS, the English

DOMBARDIER WELLS, the English
- heavyweight, has taken up golf and
is showing almost as much proficiency
with driver and putter as with the
gloves and spiked shoes. Wells is a
sprinter of rare speed, running close
to even time in the hundred. but his
golf prowess was unexpected. With
less than three months practice he
has turned in some excellent cards. He
is a splendid driver, getting both dis
lance and direction in his stroke. In
recent match he drove 81 yards
from tee to green and his play
throughout was in proportion.

Al the national links at Shinnecock
Hills. L. l., last fall, touches on stym-
les. one of the topics Of the hour, In
part as follows:
Abolition Of Stynaie Nonsense.
nThe excessive violence OF those
who advocate the abolition OF the
stynie sometimes drives those who
defend ii into the use of language
that is likewise excessive. The abo-
litionists talk as IL no stymie could
be circumvented, which is sheer non
sense. and their opponents are apt to
retort that there is no styn1ie, which
Is impossible. which is taking rather
an optimistic view OF the situation.
cit is quite safe to say, however,
that a great many styn1ies are called
impossible either through Ignorance
or the fury of the moment which are
not only possible to circumvent, but
in many instances reasonably easy.

tidious care. tt is also to be noted
that the nature of the grass makes
great deal OF difference and that the
ball can be made to turn far more on
green that is comparatively keen
than on one which is slow and heavy.
Finally, it may be laid down with some
confidence that it is far easier to.
