Referring to the purchase Of the AL
len & Robinson property, an area OF
about Is acres, Superintendent Forbes
says. in part:
The property would be better
adapted for other purposes than as a
lumber yard, and would Afford addi-
tlonal space for deep-seA vessels and
the construction of modern wharfs.
and, in addition, it is desired for the
right-of-way for the proposed belt rail
road. Honolulu is IN a clamped and
crowded condition as regards shipping
and shipping facilities.
Trade Bound to Grow.
Increased shipping IN coming years
and the need OF additional wharfs are
the facts upon which the superintend-
ent will base his argument for the
purchase Of the marine railway site
the proposed wharf on this site to be
used for handling freight from large
deeD sea vessels
Mr.. Forbes will propose the estab-
lishment of a harbor railway about
% miles in length. to greatly facili-
tate the handling of freight. Need by
the army of such a road is one of the
arguments which win be presented to
Congress.
Supplies for Schofield Barracks and
Fort Kamelameha," the superintend-
ent states. where by far the greater
number of troops are quartered, are
hauled to the railroad station, a dis
lance of approximately three-quarters
Of mile. Supplies for Forts Arm
strong, De Russy, Kruger and Shafter
are hauled by trucks distance of
from one to four miles. All OF the
departments of the federal govern
ment would have free use Of this belt

CAN'T PICK ALL-STAR TEAM.
Haughton Says Eleven Men Nc
Longer Constitute Machine,

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, December 81
am not qualified to pick an all-Ameri-
can or an all-eastern team" said Head
Coach Haughton of Harvard last night.
If l did try to select one 1 would
name thirty men. Eleven men no long
er constitute foot ball team One can
never tell what will happen to the first
string players. This is an age of pre-
paredness.
AS regards the eastern quarterbacks
of 1915, I believe Watson of Harvard
was the best. Watson was a sound
thinker and a captain generally; Click
of Princeton and Barrett of Cornell are
remarkable foot ball players. But
believe they are natural halfbacks, but
not as good as Watson at quarter.
Click is a wonderful defensive quar-
terback. I did not see his equal in this
department on the gridiron during the
season. Watson directed the play of the
Harvard team. He handled the ball
admirably But he could not begin to
play Immediately behind the line on
defense as did the Princeton captain,
nor could he carry the ball as remark
ably as Barrett or Click. But Harvard's
quarterbacks are not expected to do
all those things.

A joint meeting of the officials inter-
ested in amateur base ball in Balti-
moro and Washington is to be held this
evening at the Hotel Emerson in Bal
timore. Practically the entire commits
sion which governs the sport In the
District will be present to confer with
those responsible for the organization
of the amateur body in the MARYLAND
metropolis in order to bring about
closer relations between the two If
possible.
The main object Of the meeting, as
far as Baltimore is concerned, is to
make such arrangements as may be
necessary to Insure an entry In the
post-season series for the champion
ship of the south next August Balti-
more has been trying to become re-
lated in such a way to Richmond and
Washington. but has been unable to
do so, because 1t has not had rules such
as would entitle 1t to compete against
teams restricted as are those of this
city and Richmond. The local commits
sion undoubtedly will demand that the
Ba!timoreans adopt a set Of rules as
stringent as those governing the sport
here before 1t will agree to a three
cornered intercity series for next sum-
mer between the champion amateur
clubs of Baltimore, Richmond and
Washington.

SINCLAIR NOT BACKING
NEW YORK FEDERALS
Retains Holdings in Newark Club;
Could Not Invest in Gotham
Project.

NEW YORK, December 9.-Harry F.
Sinclair, the multi-millionaIre hacker
Of the Newark Federal League team,
the proposed independent invasion of
Manhattan, will have no interest in the
local franchise, he declared yesterday
upon his return from the west. In in
sisting that no part of his fortune
would be used toward syndicating the
outlaw movement, the Oklahoma oil
king vigorously denied divers inter-
views attributed to him by Chicago
base ball writer's.
Il did not make any of those asser-
tions." said Mr.. Sinclair, in his most
emphatic manner. Certainly I was
misquoted.
II shall retain my interests in the
Newark Federal League club. Conse-
quently, as it is against the policy of
the Federal League to have any of its
hackers interested in two clubs, l shall
have absolutely no interest whatever in
the Manhattan franchise.
1T is quite true, however, that l have
an interest in the real estate at Lenox
avenue and 145th street, which the To-
cal promoters will utilize as a site for
the new park. That, however, is quite
within the rights of anti-syndicate
methods"
Mr.. Sinclair declared he had not an
nounced the name of Hugh Jennings as
possible manager of the New York Fed
eral League club.
No Advances to Jennings.
$50 far as I know he stated, "Jen-
nings was never considered for the po-
sition. Certainly I, who have no per-
sonal interest in this matter, have made
no advances to Jennings or any one
else.
Il know of the plans for a local club
only as a colleague of the independent
movement. / have been assured by my
fellow-club owners that New York will
nave strong representation. l believe
that J. Franklin Baker, the former
home-run clouter of Connie Mack's Ath.
letics. would be of the greatest value
to our league because of his local repu-
tation. I have counseled and will coun-
sci an effort to secure him, but, of
course, l can act only in an advisory
capacity"
