CLEVELAND WANTS WOOD

Lee Foil, the old Waterbury mana
ger who is now pilot. of the Cleveland
club, thinks his club has good chance
for a first division berth in the Ameri-
can league if the pitching staff can be
strengthened He is still trying to
land Joe Wood of the Red Sox. Vice
President McRoy Of the Cleveland club
conferred with Owner Frazee of the
Red Sox yesterday regarding the deal.
F'razee said if a deal is made it will
be on a cash basis. The Red Sox want
Catcher Steve O'Neil of Cleveland, but
Foil won't part with the player.
The case of Wood is something of a
puzzle. He had bad arm when with
the Red Sox in 1915 and as he did not
play last season nobody knows wheth-
er he will be able to regain his old
form this year.
Jack Flynn has not yet agreed on
terms with Owner Carey Of the Spring
field club for the coming season.
FLYNN made a success as a manager
last year. He and Carey talked yes
terday in Springfield but came to no
agreement.

hurler WILDE with the Portland, Me-,
club again this season.
Dick I.eary, who has been called the
best center in the game, will be with

This year marks the centennial of
the introduction to the ring of Tom
Spring, one of the most famous of the
old champions of England. Born DIT
Townhope, Eng, 1872 years ago to-
day, Spring, whose real name was
Winter, was twenty-five years old
when he was introduced to the Brit
ish fight fans by Tom Crib, the old
champion who was then about to re-
tire. Crobb had taken a fancy to
the youngster, and as long as they
lived they were like father and son.
Spring was the son of a farmer and
butcher of Herefordshire, and in his
youth. worked on the farm and in a
slaughter house. At twenty-one he
married, secretly, the pretty daugh-
ter Of rich merchant of Hereford,
and his first fight was over this girl.
George Cooper, a professional pu-
gilist, saw, this bout, and he was so
impressed with the way young Win
ter handled himself that he induced
the farm boy to go up to London with
him. Crib then took charge OF lis
destinies, with the result that when
the old fellow retired Tom Spring was
ready to step into his shoes. This
was one of the few instances in ring
history in which a champion picked
his successor and got away with it.

When Old Glory Passes

An American resident of Honolulu sends to the
StarBulletn a photograph taken during the pass
ing of the military procession at Queen Lhuokd
lani,s funeral. He appends this comment:
..An Object Lesson: The Orientals with hats of,
the Americans with hats on, when old Glory goes
by. Taken at Bishop and King streets
The photograph proves the truth. Those most con-
,,i.rous Tor their salute to the flag are Orlentals
and one or two 'haoles" appear in the photo stand
ing with inert indifference, hats on head.
The incident does not prove that Americans In
Honolulu are unpatriotic does it prove that the
Oentas are better citizens at heart than the Amer
leans themselves But it does prove that there are
some Americans here, as there some Americans
everywhere whose carelessness in outward obsery-
ance of the proprietes lays them open to the charge
of Indifference to patriotic duty.
Americans are VIGOROUSLY easy going in manner.
Most of them look upon rigid observance OF custom
as more or less poppycock, and rigid observance OF
all custom is, of course, poppycock. But 1t is not
poppycock to pay proper respect to the American
flag.
Salute to the flag can no longer be regarded
merely as following out pretty custom. 1t is not
a part of patriotism. 1t is now a sign without to
indicate that the man is right within-that he is
American to the core. H.. ....
Instances there are certainly, when mere mo-
mentary forgetfulness allows an American to re-
main with hat on when his head should be proudly
barred. But the photograph mentioned above shows
that there are Orientals-Japanese, Chinese ko-
reans, FiIipinos-who did not forget.
Concerning the behavior of some during the
queens funeral there has already been good deal
said in private. Apparently some who should know
better considered the funeral hours time to laugh,
chatter joke when they had more respectful role
In of unc
is thing apart but it is also evidence that people
should be careful in these times that their demeanor
cannot be mistaken for indifference.
There is no such thing as passive patriot. The
right name for such man is Stacker The active
patriot is thinking all the time how he can add his
evidence of American fervor of spirit to that OF
millions more active Americans.

OF MAUI

PANIC At FIRE

Only the presence of mind and com.

serious panic in the Kahului Lyceum
fire last Saturday night Walsh is a
member of the legislature from Maui,
and Sloggett is a head luna in the en-

Realizing the seriousness of the fire
Walsh and Sloggett took up positions
in different parts of the theater and
Instructed the 500 persons to keep
seated until an orderly exit could be
made. BY their orders, the people in
the gallery we're allowed to leave first,
as they We're nearest to the operating
room where the blaze started
When the gallery was cleared those
on the lower floor were permitted to
depart by the five different exits.
Fifteen minutes after the house was
cleared of its audience of 500 persons
the roof fell in.
Many of those in the Lyceum audi.
ence were English speaking residents
of central Maui, who were able to I'M

Sloggett when they took charge of the

Orientals and HaWaiians present
showed rare courage and acted as
they saw the others doing, after the
commands were issued by the two
Maui men.
No attempt was made to save the
