THE SWING TOWARD MISUNDERSTANDING,

.l Z Z
Shall the children of Hawaii be taught military drill
in the schools?
Compulsory training for youths was hard-folght
issue of the last territorial legislature Not little Of
the opposition TO It came from teachers and those
otherwise in educational work The Holstein bill was
beaten.
Since then not only has a good deal of water flowed
under the bridge as The haclneyed saying has il but
good deal of blood has flowed in Europe and good
deal of startling truth has flowed into the minds Of
Americans. 81
In 19i5 the National Educational Association. the
largest body of teachers the world passed resol-
ton which read
The association deplores any attempt to miitarize
this country II again declares against the establish
ment of compulsory military training in the schools
the ground that this is reaconary and inconsistent
with American ideals and standards. 49,.
This year the convention meeting in New York
City-it was only two weeks ago-passed a very diff
ferent resolution The 1916 utterance is:
While the association recognizes that the commun-
ity or State may introduce such elements of mill
tary training into the schools as may seem wise and
prudent yet 1t believes that such training should be
strictly educational its aim and organization, and
that military ends should be permitted to peryer
the educational practises Of the school sS5.
The Holstein bill or some bill similar to it will be
introduced at the 1911 session of the legislature The
Republican territorial platform adopted last Monday
calls for military training in all schools, public and
private for students over IA years Of age. At the
last session the military training bill was brought sud-
denly before the people of the territory with scant
time for discussion. is subject that needs discus
sion, great deal of it. The Star Bulletin would like
to hear from mothers fathers and teachers from all
over Hawaii with their views upon military traning
in the schools compulsory training at any time

ing to go in the box for a game against Atlanta one day. The staff consisted ot Bill Slime, Fox, Paige, Harding, Howell Boyd and Quarders. Slime had pitched three days before and wasn't ready; Boyd and Fox were tired; Paige had nothing; Harding wasn't due; Howell reported late and wasn't in condition, and quarders had strained a rib in a friendly boxing match. It was beautiful sight, these seven athletes lined up on the bench, all dra a~ing full pay and not one willing to toss ball to earn it.
 NO LOAFING ALLOWED
 It goes without saying that if the Kid cuts the staff to four men this season there must be no loafers as were the members of this quartet. The four must be willing to work 8 games apiece, with a few extra thrown in for pitchers who are knocked out and tie games A good many pitchers were factors in more than 8 games last year in this league, but few figured in that many won and lost. The faithful workers were Cunningham of Chattanooga, Robertson of Birmingham, Bagby of New Orleans, Howard Merritt of Memphis, F'incher of Little Rock and Marshall of Chattanooga. In other words, there were only six pitchers in the entire league who were willing to do the work required of four pitchers this year should itH6s NsIdtldllOOSt sClup-uSe d IOuI staff. Furthermore, this record was made in season two weeks longer than that of this year, so that in reality Rube Mar shall was the only four-men-s pitcher in the league, Marshall winning IS and losing 21 games while none of the others figured in more than 56 victories and de- feats out of 154 played.
 AGAINST OVERWORk
 Elberfeld is a firm believer in the the ory that more pitchers are ruined by lack of work than too much work, and the manager is quite determined that if he can find four men to his liking he will carry staff of only four boxmen. He out of quartet than he would out of five with one of them loafing.
 If the small staff is carried, the Kid doubtless will be the real utility man of the club. He is not unlikely to start as regular either in right field or at short stop, after he has tried out his young sters thoroughly, but in the hot days of July and August the manager is not un- likely to be driven to the bench. Thus if he plays the short field job as a starter young Bowen can be kept on the bench for utility duty, or if the Kid plays right field the regular occupant of that garden can occupy the bench. Elberfeld would be the most valuable utility man in the league, and with the Chattanooga pitch ing staff hooking up in world of pitch CTS battles the Kid would be some as- set as a pinch hitter

 kerin had not been heard from in the last two or three months and President BauSh has began to suspect that he had @ holdout on his staff The. situation was cleared up in Kerins letter, how ever, as he explained that he had been out of his home town and had not re- ceived any mail. Kerin resides in a small town in Massachusetts. With word received from Kerin that he will return to the Baugh circuit, the entire staff of last year is complete, with one exception. A successor to Scott Chesnutt, who resigned to accept a berth in the International league, has not been filled as yet. President Baugh has a large number of applications for the open job and will probably name the new um- pire in the near future.

HEMINGWAY AT FIRST

Stark is also enthusiastic over the pros- poets of developing Eddie Hemingway into a first sacker. There is no reason,'' ar gued Dolly yesterday why Hemingway should not make one of the best first basemen in the league this season. He certainly has everything to make first sacker. He is fast, can cover lot of ground, and has good arm. His ex- perience in handling ground balls on the other side of the diamond should also be a big asset in his favor at first base Eddie also should bolster the offensive strength of the inf1eld with his hitting.'
 Several more players are due in today. The last call for reporting has been sent out for March 10, when things baseballic around the hollow should be we'll under way

UTILITY MAN OR
 PITCHER PROBLEM
 FACING EBERT ED
Long Schedule Makes It AL most Impossible for Four Pitchers to Do En-
 tire Work

Kid Elberfeld has certainly got to do some deep thinking. The question has popped up to the Lookout pilot whether he will add another twirler to his staff or else play a utility man throughout the season. As yet, the Tabasco Kid is un- decided.
 E1berfeld has four pitchers signed al- ready that will probably compose the reg ular twirling staff of the Lookouts for the coming season. The problem that is causing him to hesitate slightly is when he casts a thought backward to last sea son and sees of the numerous injuries that fell on his twirling camp. And then, the injuries to members of the infield prac- tically put the team out of the running
 With all this in consideration, the lead CT of the Lookouts has decided to thrash the affair out and determine which would be the most beneficial to the team, five pitchers and no utility man or four pitch CTS and untility man. The Chattanooga Times talks of Elberfeld's situation as follows:
 One monentous problem must be de- cided by Kid Eaberfeld early this season.
 Failure to get John Hummel makes it possible for the Lookout chieftain to carry 14 men; but even that limit is one man short of the one that has prevailed for two seasons
 The question is, whether the Kid shall carry utility man or a fifth pitcher. One of these luxuries, which comes in as necessities most freuently during the campaign, must be omitted. The 4-player limit provides for seven players in the in field and outfield, two catchers, four pitchers and fourteenth man. Eighteen can be carried until May 15. The prob- lem must be finally settled on that date.
 If the Kid succeeds in discovering four pitchers who like to be worked in rota- ton there seems little doubt that the team will carry utility man, and this utility man will be none other than the manager himself, with a probability that he will play regularly most of the time, at second short or in the infeld-
 TRAINED FOR LIGHT WORK
 Pitchers in the Southern league have been trained on diet of light work for half a dozen seasons. No more than half a dozen years ago clubs habitually car ried four pitchers only, and the boXmen never thought they were being imposed upon. Even major league clubs in those days worked four pitchers in rotation, even if they had much larger number on the staff. and often used one of the regular for relief duty.
 Since 1909, however, the Southern league clubs have carried five pitchers regular ly When the limit was IA players the utility man was dispensed with, but since 1912 the limit has been 15 men. The mod ern pitching staff has become the per sonification of laziness. One time, in 1914, Manager Mccormick had seven pitchers on the bench, and not one was will

 nounced as recently secured from the St. Louis Browns, and with the St. Louis Federals last season, will not be asked to report, according to an announcement by Manager Stark. Drake is nearing the tether of his days of usefulness. believes Stark, and thinks that with two outfield- CTS, the Memphis club now has in view, bringing Drake here would only mean for the club the carrying of more excess bag gage during the training season.
 Stark is particularly enthusiastic over starting the season with a winning pitch ing staff, something the local club has not had in several seasons. Merritt and Kerr two southpaws, are practically con- sidered certainties by Dolly. With Bar ger, Tillman and Willett, three veteran right-handers, and Sims, Wheeler, Jones, McAdams and Clifton, young right-hand- CTS, and Hancock, another juvenile port sider, to pick from Manager Stark is not worrying.

TRAVELLERS BEGIN
 SPRING TRAINING
Small Group Take Workout Under Charlie Starr-Al-
 len After Pitcher

| Training camps are plentiful through. out the Southern league cities now and almost everywhere practice is beginning I to get in full swing. Over in Little Rock where a corking good team is expected i to be tho product of bunch of high 1 priced players, practice started Thursday, the same day as the Barons.
 1 The Little Rock Gazette describes the l opening of the training season in Tray elerville as follows:
 1 Thursday marked the start of the preliminaries. The scene was Kava- | naugh Field, newly pressed into shape, , the time the warmest part of the day, and the occasion the first spring train- 1 ing of these Travellers who have as- sembled.
 They are: Marager Charlie Starr, 1 Clyde Wares, Drap Hayes and Pitchers 1 Omar Hardgrove, Bob Couchman, Con- rad Fields and Edward Gardiner. The weather was ideal and the players got real workout.
 | "The new arrivals yesterday were: Couchman, Wares, Fields and Gardiner Every fan knows Bob Couchman and everyone who saw him yesterday was pleased to see him looking good. Kid Fields, native stater, with good fast ball, worked in part of an exhibition game at Kavanaugh Field last year. Gar diner is strapping big left-hander from | Prairie Grove, Ark.
 WARES FULL OF PEP Clyde Wares is a neat, trim-looking lad, full of pep. His locker in the re- | mo al 1ad .,t ,,trt, Field is labeled Buggy" Why Buggy?
 That's the name Jack Leary hung on me up in St. Louis Kid they used
 to call me down here.''
 | Wares is of the opinion that the South ern league will be the fastest minor league in the country this season. 1 Bob Couchman and Fox Hardgrove were at the baseball emporium at 2lI 1 Main street yesterday afternoon, where you belt pitched balls against a canvas 1 curtain. Each was hitting home runs | fluently Hardgrove thinks that it is l good practice for the batting eye. He
 and Bob never were demon batsmen l but both are there when lt comes to | looking into the baleful eye of Carlton Mclesworth or Charlie Schmidt or Gabby Street in a pinch. They can meet those kind of looks, bale for bale
 STAFF WELL ROUNDED
 Which brings up the subject the pitching staff of the Travellers is well rounded out Unless the league speeds iup a whole lot, Couchman and Hard grove will be winners, dependable win ners. Dwight Stone, who has George StovalPs o. K, should make third. I4eClair will do,, according to Starr and
 Wares. who have seen him work. It is
 more than possible that one of the good looking prospects, Field or Gardiner, may I develop. Bull Moran is coming on, And President Allen is after yet another first lratc pitcher. That staff looks less doubt ful than it has in long time. + "M D. L. Cooks steam roller puffed around Navanaugh Field yesterday, leav- Ling it much smoother. Leftfield is too
 soft to roll, but another days work will be put on it soon. By a week from today, when all the men will be in, the park should be in fair playing shape.
