One of the most pleasing announce

quarters the past month was the
news that Kauai would enter a team
for the championships this year. 10.
cal enthusiasts had practically given
up hope that Kauai would have a
team for the championships, but with
the announcement the players have
begun practise for the coming match
play.
Jay Gould, one Of the best players
who has appeared on local team this
year, will be one OF the Kauai four.
He has taken deep interest in the
game, and has fully decided to con.ln.
ne his play throughout the year. in
recent matches he has outpIayed the
opposing players and has made q Zig
impression, with the polo enthusiasts.
That he will be a strong factor in
the success Of the team goes witilaut

with Maui again to the front with a
good team and excellent mounts,
Oahu with both players and mounts,
and the entrance of Kauai, the inter-

One point that will of course be con-

Poorest road trip i'm history Chicago
and Boston both have good pitching

Yanks two and half games, while
the Senators are three games behind

year especially those who have watch

Beard, Hoyle, Herr and Haverkamr
made a good showing, and the news
that the Army will be better mounted
during the championships is good
news to the polo enthusiasts at Soho
field.
Oahu to the Fore.
Whether or not the Army will be
strong enough to run through the
Oahu and Maui teams IS a question.
In Walter Dillingham; and Harold Cas-.
tie Oahu has two players who rank
with any in the country. and the other
members are good horsemen and
know the game. Maui will be expect.
ed to show the same style of game
that was staged on Kamehameha Day,
when one of the best matches ever
played in Hawaii was the feature.
Polo has come to the front as a
popular sport here, and with racing
should bring out banner crowds. Hun
dreds who had never witnessed a
match before remained to follow the
play in the last big match on June 10,
and it is certain that the match dur
ing the coming race meet will be in

and the stands and bleachers should
be packed with spectators.
New Players.
The entrance of new players into
the game has helped to create inter

and the hopes of a coming match.
Although many Of them have their
time much taken up. there is always
an hour or so for play, and with tu-
toring the horsewomen around the
city are beginning to practise the po-
sitions In the game.
The next practise match will per.

TeutOns Overrunning Wallachia.
(By Associated Press.)

Latest reports from the Balkan thea
tre of war today indicated that the
Teutons are following up their vic
tory over the Rumanians in the jul
valley and the capture of Craiova, rap
idly overrunning western Wallachia
Berlin today reported rapid progress
being made by the Teutons westward
toward Orsova, and the fate of the
Rumanian army in the Orsova region
is still doubtful. Bucharest announced
that Rumanian forces in the jul val
ley had successfully withdrawn in the
face of Teuton attacks, and now oc-
supy their old positions.
The Bulgarian war office at Sofia an
nounced that the Rumanians had de-
stroyed the bridge over the Danube at
Corabia, fired great quantities of am
munition stores there and had sunk
barges in the river at that point.
Berlin announced that Russian rein
forcements have reached the Ruman-
ians in Pennsylvania (Hungary)
Apparently, the Entente forces which
captured Monastir have been unable
to advance beyond the new Teutonic
positions north of the city.
Sofia recorded the repulse of Entente
attacks in the Cerna Bend and to the
eastward today.
Only artillery and aviation opera
tions were reported on the Franco.
Belgian front today.
The British admiralty, i'll an official
statement, announced that there were
nc wounded aboard the British hospi-
tai ship Brittanic when she was sunk
in the Aegean sea recently.

CIRCUS WRAPS Up
FOR A LONG STAY
WITH FOLKS NOW

The circus has come-and is with
us.
After two splendid performances
yesterday in this city by John Rob-
insons circus, the entire aggregation
OF artists-from the leading actor to
the lowly stump -puller, sighed deep
recognition of delight that their vaca-
tion had begun.
One incident was a rider in the
jockey race, which was the last feature
of the main show. He was thrown
from his horse in rounding the end OF
the circuit on the last appearance in
the last show of the season-and. no
doubt, he counts himself unlucky. He
was slightly bruised.
The eight large elephants in the
circus will be here for the winter,
including all of the other features, ex~
cept the monkey act, which goes to
Cuba for the winter. Several of the
large elephants in the circus were
sent to Cuba when Robinson's show
hit Jacksonville.
Madame Bedini, the graceful dancer
and her equally graceful partner,
Jack Morgan" the beautiful white
horse, were features of the program
Madam Bedini leaves today for Chicago
to enter vaudeville for the winter.
In an easy fashion the show began
its route to winter quarters at the
grounds of the Third Agricultural
District fair early this morning, an
throughout today they are arranging
and planning their place of abode for
five months.
The circus will be in quarters here
until the early part of April, possibly
the 18th inst
At later date announcements will
be made concerning the time and
hours of visiting the grounds where
the animals, people and other interest,"
ing sights are quartered.
A sum aggregating $4,000 was turn
ed aloose last night in Americas when
every person in the circus received
his final pay for the season. From the
biggest headliner to the humblest
workmen, the folks were paid.
A number of the artists left early
this morning on the Seminole, going to
the north, east and west.
On this occasion which comes but
once everything has passed off

SOUTHERN FARMERS HOLD
WINNING HAND IN BUSINESS

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 23.-Reports on
business conditions throughout the
country, which have been received in
Atlanta, show that never before has
the Southern farmer held such win.
ming hand as he holds today.
With cotton around the twenty-cenl
mark, the highest since the civil war
and with food prices soaring, Atlanta
business men declare that the mar
who feeds us all' is king in fact, al
we'll as name, and that the money h.
is pouring into the channels of trad;
has made this season among the mos
bountiful on record.
Preached for many years, the doc
trine of diversified crops is bearing
fruit in the form of increased produc-
tion of meat, grain and other food
crors in the South, all of which have
reached high level of prices, and on
top OF these the farmers are market
ing their cotton and cotton seed a.
prices unparalleled in the present
generation.

MOTOR TOURIsTsTO
PASS OVER HIGHWAY
EN- ROUTE To SOUTH

About the first of next January, the
Scarborough Motor Guide Company, of
Indianapolis, Ind, will conduct a
motor tour through the South, which
will pass over the Dixie Highway. In
formation states that a number of
northern and western citizens have re-
served places in the cavalcade. which
will move to the Land of the South"
during this season.
Plans will doubtless be made later
in Americus to greet the tourists upon
their arrival here, as it will mark the
first of such features to come this
way in a body.
The tour will be made southwark
over one division of the Dixie high
way while the return trip will be made
over the other division.
While several tours and not a few
single cars have come south over the
Dixie highway already, this is the first
real tourist invasion-and a welcome
one-of the South that has been un-
dertaken, and it appears to portend
more such tours.
Make Motoring Customary.
1--WE want to make touring through
the South the customary way instead
of exceptional way" states the let
ter to the Chamber of Commerce. "We
know the tourist will enjoy his trip
much more by motoring through than
by taking the train and shipping his
car, and we are confident that this
personally conducted tour, sufficiently
advertised, will bring south a large
number of people, and will greatly
stimulate Southern motoring"
In order to avoid the difficulties
which would be encountered over
either of these passes the Scarborough
people have decided to leave the Dixie
highway at Nashville and come into
Georgia over the Georgia-Alabama
highway via Huntsville, Ala, and
either Gadsden, Ala, or Rome, Ca, d
route which is passable already, and
over which a number of tourists have
already elected to come in preference
to the Chattanooga or other route.

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-(Wireless to AS

period of complications in German
American relations may again be near
as a result of the American charges
recently filed here. Inquiries regard

marines, including the Marina case, in
which number of Americans are re-
ported to have been killed and the
case of the liner Arabic remain unan-

COUNSEL CLAIMS
TO SHOW DEFECTS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 23.-The
present system of corrective regula>
tions between the state and federa
governments was blamed for most Of
the problems at present troubling both
the public and the railroads, by Alfred
p Thorn, counsel for the Railway Ex-
ecutives advisory committee at the
hearing before the joint congressional
investigating committee today. Polit-
ical, rather than business, considera-
tions largely control the railway busi-
ness in this country, he said. This he
declared made the credit of the rail-
roads so poor and their returns on
investments are so small that they
can neither extend their lines or en-
large their facilities. Increased trans
pcrtation facilities would tend to re
duce the cost of living, he said in
conclusion.
