MOANALUA GOLF LINKS
STILL OPEN TO PUBLIC
Formation of Honolulu Golf Club
Will Not Change Conditions

The formation of the Honolulu Golf
golf links will be closed to the public
not included in the membership roll of
the club. In allowing the organizers
of the new Honolulu Golf Club the use
of the links this was one of the stipu-
latiOns made by the owners. The other
was that there be no changes made in
buildings or existing conditions.
The following letter from Mrs. s. NJ
Damon addressed to X. C. Blackshear,
who undertook the work of organizing
the club, is self-explanatory.
Your letter in regard to forming a
golf club to play at Moanalua came
some days ago and | am sorry for the
necessary delay in answering it. We
appreciate very much the interest
shown in the MOanalua links and your
Kind expression in regard to the up
keep.
'''l quite see your reasons for wish
ing to form club to keep up the in.
terest and for competition, and | think
there would be no objection to your
Club playing on the links if certain
conditions were observed, such as;
:. Inat this would in no way shut
out those people outside of the Club
who might wish to use the links.
>. That no changes be made in build
ingS or other existing conditions.
81 prefer also not to have the name
Moanalua Golf Club used as it might
be misleading to the general public
interested in the game, and who are al
ways welcome on the links. Perhmps
you could revive the old Honolulu Golf
Club and continue under that name. "

HALF million Spent IN
ATHLETICS OF FOUR BIG COLLEGES
CompetitiveSportI Is Expensive, But 1t Pays.
Universities Show Is Per Cent Profit

IT still costs n lot of money to sup.
port college athletics, notwithstanding
the demands Of learned university pres.
Idcnts for the exercise of right econo-
my. Four big Harvard,
Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania -
spent approximately $450, 900 during
their last fiscal year to put their athle-
tic teams on field, river and floor. And
this does not count what university au.
thorities expended for their gymnastic
work. 1t represents simply the cost
of competitive athletics.
II is impossible to more than approx
innate the number of students on whom
these great sums are expended. But
at the four institutions mentioned
above there are probably 1000 students
in each on the teams maintained by
the various athletic associations. This
means that for every athlete a univer
sity turns out the association spends
about 500 in the form of coaching
uniforms, training tables, railroad fare
etc.
To the outsider this sounds like a
pretty big sum, but il is nothing com
pared to what it costs to develop the
few star athletes who represent their
universities in championship contests
There is no way to determine this
cost, but when il is remembered that
every athletic squad is reduced three
fourths before the season is half over
it can be seen that 800 per man
doesn 7 begin to represent what il costs
to develop teams that win champion
ships.
The Importance of the cost of college
athletics is surpassed only by the earn.
ing power of college sports. During
the year here considered Harvard, \ ale
Princeton and Pennsylvania received A
total of $504, 464.Sl nearly all of it in
gate receipts. At the four institutions
the receipts exceeded the expenditures
by about 100000, so that the percent
age of profit was about thirteen cents
Oh the dollar. Most business men
would consider this a pretty good in
vestment. AS a matter of fact, the
percentage Of profit was greater thai
this, because the items of expenses in
me cases represent permanent i'm
prOvements.
Naturally, football was the great
monevmaker In fact, this is the sport
u hich has maintained all the minoI
sports, paid the deficits in track ath
Ittics and rowing, occasionally in base
hall, and helped to build magnifcen;
stadiums. Harvard for"d football

LARGE SUM IS SAVED
THROUGH FAST WORK
DONE ON GRACE SHIP
Santa Rita Departs Two Or Two
and 0ne-HaIf Days
Early

Two or two and one half days before
she had been expected to depart, the
Grace steam schooner Santa Rita sailed
at ten.forty O'Clock Saturday night for
Seattle with $1,000 cases of canned
pines.
This vessel arrived Thursday from
Chile with 2057 long tons Of nitrate
for the p. q. 4 F. 1t was expected that
she would sail about this evening or to.
morrow morning. At six clock Thurs
day evening work of discharging the
nitrate began, 1t was out by six 90
clock Saturday morning In the mean
time, as holds were emptied, canned
pines were being loaded By eight o.
clock Saturday night all the pines were
in the vessel and she was ready for
sea, 30 far as the stevedores were con
cerned.
Elapsed Time Fifty Hours
Elapsed time was only fifty hours
Working time was forty-two hours
From the time the vessel entered until
she departed she was in port only fifty
three hours. Translated into dollars
it is probable that the owners or char
terers or both gained $1,000 or $500
through this quick discharging and
loading.
Recently the Sydney Herald com
planned because of the delays vessels
were meeting there. Stevedores, the
Herald said, put 57,4O4 bags of wheat
aboard a vessel in four days, working
six and one-haf hours a day, and they
claimed credit for loading her at the
rate of 1853 tons an hour. Had they
worked continuously in shifts, instead
of six and one-half hours a day, they
would have had the vessel ready for
sea three days earlier, saving f400 q
day, or approximately 10000.
Whole City Is Gainer
In the long run the whole city OF
Sydney loses through delay to vessels
and the whole city Of Honolulu gains
through facilitating them.
It is noteworthy, in this connection
that, despite late arrivals of Matsor
vessels here from San Francisco, due
to the strike, not one has been delayed
Mt Honolulu. The only late sailing fol
San Francisco was that of the Lurlint
voyage before last and that was caused
by broken propeller blade. and not b,
any slowness in working her.

Harvard s superiority over Yale in
the matter of football receipts was due
to the Crimson possession of a won.
derful team, and the further fact that
Boston is a typical football city. 1t
has a tremendous advantage over New
Haven. Princeton suffers most from
location in a small town, but the games
with Harvard and Yale filed the Tig-
ers treasury. The small size of Penn.
sylvania S receipts may be attributed
to poor teams, and the fact that
poor teams, and the fact that neither
Michigan nor Dartmouth draw as well
as Harvard and the Indians, whose
places they have taken. A good team
at Pennsylvania would probably add a
third to the Quakers gridiron receipts.
For years baseball has been a paying
sport at Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

BIG ISLAND NEEDS
MORE BIG HOTELS
Hawaii Publicity Pleased With
Work Done During Year

The Hawaii Publicity Commission
which was created a year ago by the
merchants Of the Big Island to exploit
the attractions of the island Of Ha.
wal and to encourage a greater tour,
list patronage, submitted in lengthy de.
tail its first annual report last week.
ThC report rendered TO the Hilo Board
or Trade, not only is optimistic in it's
view toward the future, but recOunts
much actual work done and practical
results accomplished the last twelve
months.
One of the publicity commission s
first duties was to select a publicity
agent and establish headquarters in
Honolulu. L. W. de Wis Norton was
chosen for this work; the promotion
committee invited him to share its of,
Ace room in the Young Hotel building.
and the commission reports satisfac-
ton with the results of his efforts.
Publicity Wide Spread
1t estimates that at least $50, 900 has
been spent in the Big Island in the
year, including transportation to ind
from Honolulu by sightseers. Wide
publicity has been procured, it states
not only in the Islands and the main.
land of America, but in Canada, Aus,
tralia, New Zealand and even as foi
Instant as England.

worthy item for which the commission
'laims credit is the gradual disappear.

part of Honolulans, in the latter's ref

eve have only to turn to the many
uninspired paragraph given us by tho
Honolulu press TO show that the Cap

work being done by Hilo through tho
publicity commission.
Charges Are Denied
cit is n significant fact that all thu
rnpleasantness which has occurred dur
ng the twelve months under review
las come from Hilo itself, and not
rom Honolulu, and the charges of un
fair dealing and of favoritism which
nave been leveled at, and disproved by
US, have all been of local origin, and
without justification.

through our agent during the past year
and we are even more impressed will

issue. If Hilo and the island in gen

Rowing Financial Loss

1t is impossible, of course, for rowing

$2S, 1868 to support its crews, while
Yale paid out $24, 62792. The ex.

rowing systems is emphasized when
comparisons is made with the cost Of

Harvard and Yale pay virtually three
times as much for rowing as Pennsyl.
vania, and nearly six times as much
as Princeton. The low cost Of rowing al
Princeton is largely accounted for by
the fact that Princeton does not com.

Minor Sports Lose Money

With the exception of basketball al
Pennsylvania all the minor sports are
money losers and thrive through the
surplus earned by football and base

basketball to the dignity of a major
sport. Such sports as swimming

Pennsylvania has always been on the
ragged edge. Although for the fiscal
year here considered the Quakers lost
money, it is learned that their next re-.
port will show a slight profit. The ma
tional game has always been a money
maker at Yale. In fact, in this sport
