TRIP
big BOOST FOR
ATHLETICS HERE
Honolulu Man Says Only Two
Regulars on Team; Ten Men
With Beavers Last Year

Honolulu citizens arc going to real
ize when the Portland team mas lett
these shores something of the value
of league training trip. The news
papers from the Northwest are begin
ming to reach here, and all are filled
with stories of the games played in
Hawaii
Perhaps few realize it, but more
copy will be made out OF the trip OF
the Beavers than any other, event, ath-
letic or otherwise, in the history OF
Hawaii. No other event has brought
three newspaper men here on one
trip, and the fact that each day the
correspondents are sending long wire.
less messages" Indicates that Honolulu
is going to be benefited.
Nobody Stop
Yesterday a local businessman said
that he did not see why ALI this fuss
was made over the Portland team, as
there were only two regulars on the
SQUAD. Honolulu could not get the
space devoted to the climate training
camp, and ether features in the Port
land newspapers for five times the
amount expended in bringing the Port
land team here. H..
In the first place the businessman
erred when he said that. there were
only two regulars on the team who.
had ever played with Portland. AS
matter of fact Captain Bill Rodgers,
Fischer, O'Brien Stumpf Hollocher
Williams, Willie, Houck. Bigbee and
McCredie were with Portland last year,
and the other players haEe.been gath
cred from the leagues throughout the
country. =. .....'. II
Borton, Farmer. Siglin, Leake and
Fincher did not sign contracts in time
to make the trip to Honolulu, but Nc
Creole sent transportation to half
dozen players who were on the Attain
tic coast. This is enough to answer
the statement that McCredie. was try
ing to get down easy.
It's Boost ..-. 49,
Hundreds of cities throughout Cali.
fornia, Texas, Georgia and other
states raise funds by public subserip-
ton to pay the expenses of a league
team, and these cities as a rule hardly
take in enough at the gate to pay for
the park expenses, but they make
big fight for the team each year. Ho-
noIulu fans will perhaps realize the
difference between q training trip for
a league team and series of games
with picked aggregation who come
here on pleasure jaunt.
Go to the Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee and ask them to total up the
number of columns written about Ho-
nolulu since the Beavers decided to
train here, and then compare II with
any other event in the history of Ha-
waii, and see what this trip means
from a publicity standpoint.
A. l.. Castle has put up the money
for this trip, and should be backed by
every public spirited citizen, whether
he be a fan or not. The Portland
club is gradually rounding to form,
and in the games from now on the
local teams will have to play top-noteh
ball to win out Honolulu fans will
have an opportunity to show that they
appreciate the value OF a training trip
by attending the remaining games OF
the series. -.
There are two games scheduled on
Saturday and Sunday, and the two
leading teams in Hawaii will battle
with the Portland Hulas Let it be
hoped that the stands are packed to
on these dates. ... -.-.

THESE BOOKS WERE DIGESTED
thors Being Compelled Literally
to Eat Their Words.

To literally digest book is an ac-
complishment which few can boast of
having performed. Nevertheless, a
good deal of literature has been de-
stroyed in this way at one time or an
other.
Barnabo Visconti compelled two
papal delegates to eat the bull of ex-
communication which they had brought
him, together with its silken cords and
leaden seal. AS the bull was written
on parchment, it was all the more diff
ficult to digest. A similar anecdote is
related of an Austrian general, who
had signed a note for 1000 forms, and,
when it fell due, compelled his cred
itors to eat it.
A Scandinavian writer, the author
of a political book, was compelled to
choose between being beheaded or eat
ing his manuscript boiled in broth.
Isaac Volmar, who wrote some satires
against Bernard, duke of Saxony, was
not allowed the courtesy of the kitch-
en-, but was forced to swallow them
uncooked. Still worse was the fate of
Philip Oldenburger, a jurist of great
renown, who was condemned not only
to eat a pamphlet of his writing, but
also to be fiogged during his repast.

Japanese PearI-Oyster Farm.

Japan has a pearloyster farm. In
the Bay of Ago there has been estab-
lished a plantation from which a rich
harvest is obtained.
In May or June stones weighing
from six to eight pounds are sunk in
shallow water, and in August the tiny
shells begin to appear on them. The
stones remain In for two months, but,
since the young oysters cannot endure
cold, In November all rocks in less
than five feet of water are moved far
Their out, where the temperature is
more even. At the end of three years,
when the shells are about two inches
across. they are taken from the water,
nuclei for pearls inserted in them and
replaced in the water, 80 of them to
every six square feet OF bottom.
There they are left for four years.
Then, being seven and half years old.
they are removed and searched for
pearls.

MEN ARE GROWING SHORTER
French Savsnt Years Ago Gave Out In-
formation That Adam Was 1923
Feet 9 Inches Tall.

In recent years anatOmists have
shown in a practical way that the
height of q man or woman can be In
creased to a considerable extent by APP
planes for stretching. These extern
sions, however, have only been OF
inches or fractions Of an inch, and
giants have not been, nor are they
likely to be developed by artificial
means. 1t was French savant, named
Henrion, who, 200 years ago, gave to
the world authoritative statements as
to the height of Adam and Eve. He
said that the father of the race was
1913 feet 9 inches high and Eve 118
feet 9 inches. He noted that from the
creation Of these enlarged editions Of
humanity, degeneration had been
rapid that Noah was only 81, Abra-
ham only 20 and Moses but Is feet In
height.
According to this French authority,
If the Christian dispensation had not
arrested this decrease, man by this
time-200 years ago-would have been
q mere microscopic object, and we may
conclude that by our time he would not
have been at all. NJ. Henrion did not
give any explanation as to height Of
those ancients.
Perhaps the most gigantic story on
record is that concerning an immense
skeleton, said to have been in Sicily,
which measured 300 feet in length.
This story, however, carries its own
refutation, as it is said that found be-
side this giant was his walking stick,
which was 80 feet long and thick as a
telegraph pole. A clever calculator
made the estimate that walking stick
only 80 feet in length for man who
measured 300 feet would be as ridicu-
lous as one of seven inches for a man
of ordinary stature.-Kansas City
