Puunene Annex
First in Playof
Big Crowd Witnessed Good Game
Colts Must Win Tomorrow or Puu-
meme vii Takes Series.

The first leg in the three-cornered
series now being played by the senior
leage to break the tie went to the Fuu-
meme team, who defeated the Paia ag-
gresation last Saturday, at Wailuku
park by a score of to 4.
The attendance was by far the big
gest this season.. no less than sixty
automobiles and over 400 people in the
bleachers and grand stand, witnessed
the duel, which was played with vim.
The game started shortly after four
o'clock, giving the crowd time to re-
turn from the races at Kahului.
Paschoal's bunch started the scoring
with two tallies in the third inning,
and added three more in the fifth and
one each in the sixth and eighth, while
the Robinson outfit scored two runs
each in the fourth and eighth.
Blonde" Williams for the Cane
Grinders, pitched steady game, and
showed that he can control himself
in pinch. Mahuka, the new slabster
of the Paias, showed unsteadiness in
his first game, and after the sixth
inning was replaced by Foster Robin
son, who had been holding down sec
ond bag in professional style.
Rumor has it that Puunene will. soon
lose Blonde" Williams, who will re-
turn to Honolulu, This loss, with that
of Harold Baldwin, who will shortly
leave for college on the mainland will
make big hole in the strong lineup
of Paschoals bunch, and he will have
TO do some tall hunting to find men
to replace them.
Cummings Colts will meet the Puu-
meme bunch tomorrow afternoon at 8

to meet the Paias.
Picked Team Defeats Paia.
There being no official league game
arranged for last Sunday, a picked
team played the Paias, defeating them
in an eleven inning game by a score
of to 6.
Dissention and bad plays on the Fart
of the Robinson outfit was responsible
for their defeat. Heime Meyer and
Bill Bal, for the picked team, proved
their worth as ball players. The fcrm-
er pitched fast game with only a
days practise, while the latter held
down first sack on fine style and both
were very handy with the stick.
The lineup of the teams follows:
Picked Team. Carol, 2b; II.

FOSS and TOMefSen
Get Bridge Contracts

Tenders were opened and the con-
tracts awarded, on Thursday, by the
board of supervisors, for the constrlc-
ton of four bridges in the Hama dis
trict. ]. c. Foss, Jr. was the only bid
der for the work. His bid for the
several jobs was as follows: Muolea
bridge, S4105; Kawaipapa ~, s1200;
Kawaipapa (2), $1451; Kaawipapa t3,
$4303; and for the four together,
$9S59. All of the bridges are of con-
crete construction. The county en-
gineer's estimate for the work was
$1,000.
o. Tollefsen was also awarded the
contract for the building of two Molo-
kai bridges, at his bid of S1044 for the
Honoulimalo bridge, and S1094 for the
one at Honouliwai. A culvert at Moa-
nui and a suspension horse bridge
bridge at Halawa, were cut out by the
board as unwarranted at the present
time. Tollefsen was the only bidder
for the Molokai contracts.

Hitchcock
Investigating Committees Report A.
dOpted By SuperviSOrs-Claim Mo-
lOkai 0yerSeer Used Comfy Mules
for His Own Work.

After hearing report made by a
special investigating committee COM
posed of Chairman S. e. I<alama and
Supervisors Pail and Drummond, in
which a recommendation was made
that r. II. Hitchcock, late district
overseer of Molokai, be not reinstated,
the board of supervisors, at its meet
ing on Thursday, voted to adopt the
report. Supervisor Uahinui opposed
the motion.
Hitchcock was dismissed by order
of the former board over month ago
on charge that he had made use of
property of the county for personal
profit. The committee appointed Wis
tied Molokai last week, and went into
the matter thoroughly, and their re-
port convicts the overseer. The chief
charge was that Hitchcock had been
in the habit of using county mules,
under his charge in work for himself
Several petitions were before the
board urging his retention, and while
he members gen rally conceded
that Hitchcock is a capable man, they
took the stand that it would be wrong
policy to overlook or condone his
breach Of trust.

Hole in Skull Doesn't
Trouble This Jap

A Japanese named Fuji, who lives
at Olowalu, fell from his wagon, while
returning from a visit to Wailuku last
Monday evening, and sustained frac-
tured skull. The accident occurred on
the pail road near Maalaea, about 7
o'clock in the evening. About ten
o'clock passersby found the horse and
wagon unattended on the road, and
telephoned the police department
Sheriff Crowell and several officers at
once responded and found the man ly-
ing below the road where he had fallen
Just regaining consciousness. He was
brought to the Office of DR.. Yamashiro,
in Wailulu, where it was found that a
hole an inch in diameter had been
made through the skull by a sharp
rock. However, the man remained
conscious, and will apparently suffer
little inconvenience from his eXper-
ience. He is said to have been cele-
brating the Fourth of July.

Thinks Minimum
Rate is Excessive
Industrial Accident Board Believes
Small Employers Suffer By Arbi-
trary Rule of Insurance Board.

At meeting of the recently ap-
pointed Industrial Accident Board for
the County of Maui, under the provi-
sions of the Workmen's Compensation
Act, which was held in the Wailuiu
district court room last "Wednesday
afternoon, a permanent organizat on
was effected; Judge w. A. Mckay be-
ing elected chairman, and Will. j.
Cooper, secretary. The other mem
bers of the body are, w. l.. Decoto,
George Weight, and w. H. Field.
The board passed upon a number of
applications for exemption from tax
ing out accident insurance, these he
ing in most cases the plantation COM
panies of the county, which have elect
ed to carry their own insurance. Many
notices of having complied with the
requirements of the law by taking out
insurance, or of the intention to do so
were received.
Forms for various purposes We're
approved by the board, and the secre.
tary instructed to be prepared t fur.
ish these on apple alton.
Thinks Minimum Rate Too High.
In the general discussion the board
was agreed in the opinion that he
minimum rate OF $40 per policy, q ed
by the insurarc" c)mpanies, is excess
i've. 1t was pointed out that many
small employers, of but one or two
clerks, for example, whose pre' mum
would be verY small at the fixed rate,
will certainly find SO per year an I'M
due burden. The board adopted res
olution to take the matter up with the
other boards of the Territory for their
opinion.
Inasmuch as failure to take out in
surance under the act makes an en-
ployer liable to fine of 81 per day
per person employed, for all time after
July 1, the secretary was instructed to
publish notices calling attention to the
fact.
The board will probably meet mon
