SAY PALAMA IS
|. ENLISTING MANY
STAR SWIMMERS
Boys Clubs Find Organization
so Strongly Recruited They
Cannot Compete

For the last time tonight in the
games hall of the Y. M. C. A. the Pa
lama Settlement athletic teams will
compete with the Honolulu Boys
Clubs in individual athletic competi-
ton. The volley ball leagues, junior
and midget, in which Palama has
teams entered, will be continued un-
til the same are finished, but no new
sports will be started as was origin
ally scheduled The swimming and
the track meet and the cross-country
run have all been Cancelled.
This was the vote taken by the lead
ers of the different boys clubs yes
terday afternoon and their vote and
decision in the matter was based on
the following facts: The seven clubs
competing against Palama this even
ing have less tnan half of the mem.
bership of Palama, according to their
own figures, and the largest member,
ship of any one Of the individual boys
clubs is so and the Korean and the
N. A. C. Club have less than % mem
bers each. 1t is therefore perfectly
plain TO see that Palama with its
large, well-equipped plant and compe
tent instructors has been highly sue
cessful in centralizing the work in
Just the same manner as the Y. M
c. A. has done in building up many
clubs, which gives Palama great mum
bers to select the winning teams from
80 his is all very fine for Palama but
mighty rough shedding for such small
clubs as Kaimuki, Kauluwela, N. A.
c., the Star-Bulietin, etc." said s. W.
Robley yesterday. E
"The only solution to the Palama
situation is to enter competition with
the different army posts or organize
within the settlement leagues and
track meets of their own. In the
swimming, baseball and track meets
the very pick of the boys clubs have
no more chance to even make a de
cent showing against Palama than 9
one-armed man would have to battle
for the worlds championship in
rope-climbing contest.

MEMORIAL NOW
READY, Session
IS NOT NEEDED

The long delayed memorial to the
governor requesting that special ses-
sion of the legislature be held to con-
slider Hcnolulu's needs is ready. After
ten weeks of deliberation the super
visors' committee appointed to draft
it has the document ready to submit
to the board. Il. %'"." H..
The first draft of the memorial,
drawn up by the city attorneys, has
been altered but little by the commit
tee. The provision asking for the
elimination of the cash basis and per-
mant improvement funds, incorporat-
ed in the first draft by request Of sew
eral of the supervisors, has been with
drawn by the committee. Otherwise
the document remains as published by
the Star-BulIetin early in March.
The fate of the document is in
doubt. When first proposed it was a
favorite topic of discussion with the
supervisors. 1t was declared the only
remedy for the hopelessly involved
condition of the city government
Many arguments for an immediate
session of the legislature were heard
Now ardor has cooled. Quietly,
among themselves; the supervisors
have agreed that it is hopeless to ex
pect a special session Of the legisla
ture. ......- 49,:
1T has taken the committee nearly
three months to consider It" said one
supervisor this morning. The gov
ernor will want as much time. Il
will take couple of months after the
call, if one is issued, for the legisla
ture to convene By that time II
would be nearly time for the regular
session. -. = =
