--McTigue vii stick with the Tigers

In favor OF the lean southpaw after
his splendid work In Dallas yester.
day afternoon. when he pitched ave
innings against Dallas. allowing only
one run and two hits. There In now
no question regarding his retention,
since this performance follows close
~ upon the similar one at Waco
Saturday. Boehler also continued
his dne work yesterday. allowing
only one run and one hit In his four
innings. Had II not been for an
error by Young. ne would neither
have been hit nor scored upon. and
he allowed only two bases on balls,
each In separate innings.
This afternoon the Tigers. Will
play ut Fort Worth and seek re

Fort Worth will play ut Waxahachie.

FARRELL PROUD
OF RELAY BOYS
|U. Of NJ. Team Beats Cornell
and Ties Worlds
Record

ANN ARBOR. Mich, March 22.--
There is no man who Ii happier
than Coach Steve" Farrell. Of the
Michigan track team. Not only did
the team that he coached set new
intercollegiate indoor twomile relay
record last Saturday. but every man
on that team has been coached and
trained and developed by Farrell
himself. Steve" thinks them his
own boys and Ii mighty proud OF
their achievement.
When the last lap had been COW
cred In the relays and Eddie Car
roll came across the finish line a
yard or 30 ahead OF Windnagle. the
Cornell star. Farrell was nearly be-
side himself. But when the time
Vas announced and he realized his
quartet had equaled a worlds rec
ord, Steve" could only slap his men
on the back and force smile. He
didn't and couldn't say word.
A few days time has loosened his
tongue and now Farrell can be
heard coming q block away. for he
il talking about that race. IL not to
someone with him, then to himself.
Steve" 10 mighty proud man now.
But there IL one member OF the
team that 10 not quite az happy.
That man IL Murphy. Cap made
the poorest time OF any OF the men.
and he keeps thinking about his
time and the fact that he could have
secured q new worlds record BY
running q little bit closer to form.
Murphy beat his man by three yards,
and the other members of the relay
team believe that II he had run
against . faster man he would have
made q better mark. But Murphy
does not look at II that way, and he
In sore at himself.
Contrary to some reports. Carroll
did not make the best time for the
Michigan team. Ufer went the dis
lance nearly one second faster than
did Eddie covering the half In
1855. Carroll made 1887 and q
slight fraction. Donnelly was slight
ly over two minutes, while Murphy
went around in 400.
Before the race Farrell told the
men Carroll would need lo-yard
lead TO beat the Cornell man. and
when Ufer started. there was a space
Of only three yards between himself
and Beckwith. Ufer held this lead
until the back stretch Of the last
lap. when he left the Cornell man
behind and came in 10 yards TO the
good. Carroll was around the first
turn when the anchor man for Cor.
nell started. and although he was
caught up TO several times, he man
aged to come In ahead. with the Cor
nell runner close enough TO touch
him.

BOND ISSUE FOR
CITY HALL, ROADS,
IS MAYORS Plan
City Executive to Lay Finan-
ciaI Problems Before Super
yisors in important Message
PUBLICITY PROPOSED TO
LET VOTERS KNOW FACTS
If Special Called, Will Be Pre-
ceded BY Public Meetings;
Estimate of Issue From
$500, 900 to $750,000

Faced with the necessity for large
additional funds for permanent road
improvement and with the growing de-
mand for a city hall worthy of Homo
lulu, the municipal administration has
virtually decided upon bond issue
OF half a million or more as the inn
perative result OF the situation.
Mayor Lane made announcement to
the StarBulletin tilis morning that
within few weeks he win lay before
the board of supervisors a message
recommending bond issue OF $780,
900 or $3.50, 900, to be voted upon by
the people of the city, and the pro-
ceeds of which are to go for two spe-
cIfic purposes, road work and the erec-
tion Of a city hall.
Three important pieces of perma-
nent road construction are to be done
from the proposed bond moneys.
First is the completion of the present
belt road system and putting 1t into
perfect shape. The other two are new
belt road stretches to combine with
the present system. One is by way
of Koko Head and Kailua, the other
the Waianae branch which has been
often discussed.
I'VE want to make it possible for
autoists and others to get around any
part of the island on perfect roads,
said the mayor today.
He is very emphatically in favor OF
early action TO build new city hall.
City Hall Needed. ~
.'At the present time our officers
are scattered between several build
ings and we are paying more In rent
than would be sufficient to defray the
interest on the bonds, he points out
The fIrst consideration, however, is
that. G1onoluiu's growth as city, our
place Ia the Pacific ocean and our in.
ereasing importance as q welcoming
city for visitors, make 1t necessary
that the municipal home be one OF
imposing appearance and commodfous
arrangement.
Honolulus progress will be retard
ed until we have city hall to which
we can point with pride
He announces that from present
prospects the Gore lot, at the juno
tion Of King and Merchant streets.
will be secured IL possible. Governor
Pinkham fav0rs this as part of the
civic center plans and the mayor is re-
lying upon the governors good offices
to effect some land exchange that will
let the city secure this property at a
favorable figure. Thus II is hoped to
put all the more money INTO the build
ing itself.
1--WE should build city hall costing
not less than $25O,0oO," he states.
There has been some advocacy OF
putting the city hall on the Mahuka
sitef but It seems to me that we can

akin to that facing the city fathers.
This" said City Attorney Garden
today, referring to the foregoing state
ments, lis what the supervisors and
the courts are UP against
Money Is All Spent.
Because the courts have run
through the expense appropriation
made by the supervisors, amounting to
$14,500 which was to last until June
20 next. there is now no money avail
able with which they may purchase
supplies or pay the fees of grand or

supervisors are broke; they are f.
