From a constant reader comes this
appealing letter to the Star-Buletin:
Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 5, 1916.
My Dearest Friend: No doubt you
will be surprised to hear from me and
hate to write for fear Of annoying
you, but the time will come when
must ask you serious question, the
contemplation OF which has caused me
many a restless night, corresponding
days of anxiety. You will understand
my reluctance in writing you upon
matter of such delicacy and import
ance to me and you also.
When | tell you that happy homes
and whole lives have been upset by
similar trouble, still feel in all sin
cerity that it may mean a
great deal to you and me, / do not
communicate this state of mind to my
ordinary friends here for fear that
they are not to be relied upon, and I
would not like to have you talk this
over with any of your intimate
lady friends.
In my distress l appeal to you,
knowing that you like me to some ex-
tent, and feel that can look to you
for the favor l am about to ask. Il
may be asking a great deal of You,
but while you consider this l ask that
you lay aside all your work and atten-
ton to the purpose of consideration OF
my request.
can hardly sign my name for fear
that some one besides yourself will
know Of my embarrassment and
shame. ask you out of the fullness
of my heart and my past friendship
for you to consider this question:
Will little Jeff ever grow as tall as
Mutt?
Yours sincerely,
YOUR FRIEND.

|M'GRAW TRIES IN | VAIN TO PURCHASE
 PITCHING MATERIAL

Pittsburgh, July 10--Joh McGraw Is trying his best to land ianother pitcher, but nobody has thus far ex- pressed a willingness to do business with the New York club. Not only have efforts to purchase several pitch- CTS in the National League, failed, but a couple of minor league clubs have turned McGraw down flat. There ap- pears to be a conspiracy to keep the Giants down, but if their showing Saturday is any criterion. they are not going to stay down long.
 Charley Dooin Is working hard to get the pitchers in shape Matty has not worked for quite a while and is in none too good shape. Benton and Tesreau are the only fingers in con- dition. Pol Perritt, who was taken ill from the heat the other day will not be able to work for several days. It looks as if Tesreau will draw the as- signfnent in the final tilt with the Pirates today. Kantlehner, who held the New Yorks safe in the last two sessions yesterday, is Jimmy Calla- hans most likely choice.
 While most of the players have been cured of the Authorization that shades and shadows had anything to do with their poor showing at home. Artie Fletcher still clings to the impression that the signs at the Polo Grounds dimmed his batting eye.

NEW YORK. FANS
 BEGIN 10 SUPPORT
 YANKEES FOR FLAG

New York, July 10-Numerous New York fans are just waking up to the fact that the Yankees have. baseball club which has a fine chance of win ming the American League pennant. The younger major league organiza- ton in this city has never gained the prestige which the Giants have enoyj- ed here for so many years. simply because they have never had a pen- nant-winner. The present club, built up by Manager Donovan, has already proved that it compares well with the best of the other clubs, and is deserv- ing of consideration. The nine is gaining friends every day by splendid playing.
 Although New Workers have much sentiment for the Giants, the baseball fan, above everything else. will string along with a winner and before the season is over it would not be surpris- ing to see the team receiving as much attention as the Giants have in past years. The season is now nearly half over, and the New York team leads the American League race by a small margin It has developed a fighting spirit, and is SO well fortified with good playing talent that there is no reason to suppose that the club will not be able to retain the same high
 standard of play during the second

Meyerjack pitched good ball, striking out nine of the U. M.l c. batters, but was also touch ed for 12 hits. Barren was in the box fdk the U. M.

 The Cranes and the Locomobiles divided, double header at Seaside park Saturday, the Locos coming through with the first game, 8 to 4, while in the second they were shut out 7to,0. Curry, pitching for the Locos, was invincible when men were on the bage, az<s 12 of the Crane runners were stranded. Kiely, the High schoolp itcher, was in the box for the Crane team in the first game but the Loco heavy artillery. became active in the fifth and sent home six runs across the plate. Johnson of Cranes and Van Horton of the Locos were the heavy hittefs. each securing three hits out of four times up, one of John- sons being for three bases while Van Horton had double.

The Bullards were unable to stop the onward rush of the Remington Arms team Saturday and as yet the intuition makers have a clean slate. The score was l9 to and but one man on the Arms team failed ito cross the platter. Sixteen hits were 'poled off Cunningham, the Bullard twirler, and six errors by his team mates increased the slaughter.
 Hughes, pitching for Holmes & Ed wards against the Remington Yosts Saturday, was wild, hitting four of the Yost batters, making a wild pitch, a balk and passing three men. He did his share with the willow to make up for it, getting to Clark's offerings for a three-bagger. Both pitchers struck out eight men. The score was 5 to 1 with the Yosts on the long end.
 Running wild on the bases in the games with the Burns & Bassick team Saturday, eight sacks were pilfered by the Electric Cable team and the latter won easily, to\0.. Goth Kohout for the Cable Go. and Yukas for the B. & B. >team struck out five men. but Yukas was touched for seven hits, while Kohout allowed but three safe ties.

BEHR AND FELL KEEP MIDDLE STATES TITLE
 IN TENNIS DOUBLES

New York, July 10-Karl Behr and Theodore Roosevelt Pell retained their Middle States doubles championship by defeating Harold Arlington Throck- morton and Dean Mathey in the challenge found of the tournament at the Orange Lawn Tennis Club, Noun tain Station, N. J., yesterday. The match went to five sets and the score was s-4, 3-6, .2-6, 9-7. .6-1.
 Their victory yesterday marked the third which Behr and Pell have scor- ed in the event in the last three years, but to gain permanent possession of the cup they had to play their best tennis Throckmorton and Mathey were in good form and extended their opponents throughout. They lacked the reserve power of Behr and Pell and fell down in their playing in the last set.

(By Wagner)


 WaitinR for the Robert E.. Lee was nothing like waiting for tffe Worces- ter club to appear at Newfield park yesterday. The fans gathered at 2 o'clock prepared to see tho first game Of the double header but the Inger- soll had tfcked off another hour be- fore Billy Haniifon's warriors puffed into the grounds in an auto. They must have come from Worcester in snat German submarine that just arr rived in Baltimore.

Bridgeport von the first by to largely through Marty Walsh's clever pitching. He fave the slugging visitors only four hits. McQuillan youngster secured from Toronto. proved a puzzle. all though he did nothing but work the corners. The locals got their three tallies in the, second on passes to Dein- finger and, Whalen, wild throw by GcQuillan and single by Walsh.
 In the second contest Manager Lush sent Turner to the box. He is ( giant who has been pitching in the Southern League. Turner has a pe- culiaf delivery and his curve ball fooled the visitors to such an extent that t11ey got only two safeties. Wor- eester got one fun in the fourth but that proved enough to win as Bridge Bort was unable to score in five inn iAgs. Mcouilian started the night cap k1r worcester but Mckinley replaced him in the third. The. battle was called at the end of the fifth on ac- Count of darkness. The figures:

MARQUARD's GOOD WORK GIVES EVEN
 SPLIT TO DODGERS

Cincinnati, O., July 1o-Breoklyn broken even here yesterday afternoon with the Reds. dropping the first game by 8 to o, and taking the second 10 :o 3. Only the fact that Toney was pitching superior ball saved the Reds from losing both games. t
 s The double bill and the excellent weather were responsible for a large Sunday crowd. despite the fact that the Reds are playing poor ball. Tooey gave signs of being good in the first inning and in their half the Reds started out to get a few runs for him. One went over in the first, but the second was blank. Tn the third successive hits hits; two of them dou- bles, netted the Reds two more. This ended the run getting periods of the game.
 On several occasions Brooklyn got men On and worked them around, but excellent work on the part of the Red infield kept the Robins away from thep late. Chase, Groh and Herzog took turns in doing spectacular stunts and in almost every case the fielding prevented scoring. Fisher at short for the Reds was the weak point on the infie1d, and while many attempts were made by Brooklyn to direct their attack in his direction nothing much was accomplished.
 In the second game Robinson sent Marquard to the mound and Meyers went in to catch The Rube was the same old baffling mystery to the Reds and while they did secure hits enough, to amount to three runs Mar quard was never in danger of getting behind in the tally column.

SHOW WEAK HITTING OF
 BRIDGEPORT CLUB

Although the Bridgeport club made a good record since Manager Lush took charge the victories have been due principally to good pitching. The hitting has been very poor. Howie Baker recovered somewhat from his slump last week and Ray We're made almost as many hits as he had hither- toadeliYered all season. The rest of the boys did practically nothing, how ever, and the fact that not regular is hitting .250. indicates that some thing must be done immediately. The

.LUsH's TOUGH JoB.a s

Manager Billy Lush has a tough job, ahead to make a winner out of the Bridgeport club but he has set to work and hopes to have some new men this week. Hitting strength is badly needed. A first class catcher and a first baseman who can hit are the principal demands at present. Pat Duggan, secured from Hartford, may fill the hole in right field. He is fast and has been clouting pretty well for the Senators lately. The pitching has been good in recent games but the twirlers would do even better with an experienced backstop to handle them.

It only lasted five innings yesterday, but O'Neil's ruling means one less defeat for Bridgeport. The Worcester club will be here again to- morrow and Johnny Reiger will prob- ably pitch.
