BIG tennis MEET
TO Be HELD HERE
DUR|NGFEBRUARY
A. |. Castle Explains Some Of the
Plans Of the Bere- +.
tania Club

Some Of the plans Of the Bcretania
Tennis Club for the 1917 Carnival
tourney were told by A. L. Castle at
meeting Of the directors of the
chamber Of commerce yesterday after.
noon. The meeting was called to con.
slider the holding of the Carnival next
year, as the Carnival directors had re.
quested expressions of opinion from the
the leading organizations Of the city.
Mr.. Castle dealt largely with the
Carnival in its bearing upon the Bere-
tania Clubs tourney, which has been
sanctioned by the National Lawn Ten.
mis- Association and included in the
list Of tournaments issued by the as.
ISOLATION early this year Particularly
he wished TO emphasize that the ten.
lay tourney, beginning February q,
would be held regardless of what ac.
tion was taken as to the Carnival, even
though the Carnival itself were cut to
one day, as has been suggested.
Want Maurice Mclaughlin
The club proposes TO bring tennis
stars here from the mainland to com.
pete. Maurice Mclaughlin Is one Of
those who is desired. Last Carnival i
play was splendid, some of the fastest
players Of America being here. The
Manila tournament, in which they
played, came at time that fitted in
well with that of Honolulu, as they
stopped here on their way back to the
states. '..
The club intends to 60 ahead with its
arrangements, Mr.. Castle said, particu.
larly in view Of the receipt Of com
munication from the war department,
which urged that no measures be taken
to drop athletics but instead that they
be maintained. Letters of the same
import have been sent to associations
the States and follow in general the
suggestion of President Wilson, Gen.
sral Wood and other prominent Amer
leans that the young men of America
keep their bodies in trim through ath-
letics. 49,. .''..@
Proceeds To Red Gross . ...... &c.,.
The proceeds of the tourney will be
given to the Red Cross, Mr.. Castle
said, as requested by the national as.
ISOLATION. h;.. * ..: &C.. H..
The tennis tourney and swimming
meet, for II is presumed that one will
be held during the Carnival, would of.
fer good nucleus about which to
group other athletic events, such as q
field meet, baseball and other sports.
Such policy doubtless would meet
with the approval of the people, since
1t is the expressed wish of the Presi.
dent that athletics be continued, and
would offer something to replace such
usual Carnival features as might be
dropped. ..

ASSERT PENNER USES ..
THAT EMERY BALL"

PORTLAND, June 27-They are do
ing Herb Penner exceptional honor by
accusing him of using the "emery
ball" Whenever a pitcher gets so
good that this abb is given, he ought
to feel highly complimented.
Here 10 what one Oakland critic had
to say after Penner won from Oak.
land last week This was before Pen.
ner started both sunday games, fail
ing to last in either one of them:
1.-THE Oakland players are thorough
~ convinced that Pitcher Penner, of
the Beavers, was working the old
emery ball on them Wednesday, and
they have evidence in ball which
las deep cut in it made by emery
paper. Roxy Middleton was first to
can Del HOward's attention to the
illegal delivery, and Roxy had rea
son. He missed third strike by
.hree feet, The ball was sent to How,
ard and was found to have been en-
eryed to beat the band. Other Oak
land players made kick; having been
tipped off by the Los Angeles athletes
that the emery ball was being used by
Penner. The best evidence that there
was something unusual doing is the
fact that Billy Lee came home from
second on Il couple of passed balls in
the first frame. Catcher Baldwin had
no more idea of where the ball was
coming than the kaiser has of what

Ew YEARS resolutions, quoted
N as of June both, seem to be

IN as OF June 3Oth, seem 10 De
worth about par.
That is 10 say, the statistics of crime
and misdemeanor compiled by the
Sheriff s office and furnished Yesterday
% the board of supervisors for the six
months ending June 30 show that Ho-
nOlulu is neither very much better nor
very much worse than last year Al
owing for the normal increase in popu.
laticn, We seem, IL anything, to be do.
ing a little better.
An accurate comparison is not posi-.
BILE from the figures given out. The
year 1916 is summarized in its entirety,
not in periods of six months, so that
the only way to approximate the totals
'or the period January l-June 30, 1916,
is to divide the figures for twelve
months by two, and then draw down
The best comparison possible by setting
them over against the figures for the
corresponding months in 1917. ~.
Moreover, the convictions summar-
lied by races are virtually worthless
for purposes of Inference. Five col
nmns are given--Hawaiian Chinese,
Japanese, Portuguese and "others."
Knowing the relative population of
Hawniians and Japanese, for instance,
It is easy to see that the proportion of
offenders against sexual morality and
'obriety is very much higher among the
former than the latter race. And, SINH.
larly, IL is obvious enough that, where
the convictions among Chinese for
gambling run as high as they DO for
he Japanese, although the Chinese are
numerically inferior, there must be
higher percentage of Chinese than of
Japanese gamblers. ..
These figures, like the corresponding
figures for drunkenness, are what
would be expected, but when one en-.
counters a higher figure of convictions
for sexual crimes under the heading of
d" others than the combined total of
Hawaiian and Japanese, it makes the
reader blink
At first thought, "others'' would
seem to include Americans, British.
IermaDs, and, in general, those of
Caucasian blood. And the apparent in
ference would be that the white mans
standard of morality is distinctly low
err than that of his neighbors, for he is
numerically far in the minority, yet
his criminal record overtops those who
outnumber him.
And so it would appear with offenses
such as drunkenness and assault and
battery. Then one remembers the
criminal record of the Filipinos. Not
being listed separately, they must be
included among the ''others," with the

proper registration Of every male citi,
zen Of the Territory on that day, July

This was the most important step
taken in the preparations for fegistra-
tion by the registration board of Ha
waii yesterday. The board, however,
continued its work of sending out liter,
ature TO the other islands and coaching
its helpers in their duties.
In reply 70 report that the board
was contemplating calling upon the pc
litieal machinery Of the two big par.
ties for assistance in getting out the
registration, the following statement
was issued by the executive officer:
VIII Not Use Political Machinery
I" As to the suggestion that the cen
trail board should avail itself of the as
sistance Of the organized machinery Of
the existing political parties for the
purpose of getting out the vote, the
board fully appreciates the spirit which
lies back Of this generous offer.
:. However, as this work is strictly
non-politieal in character the board
will not utilize the political machinery
suggested, a. II feels that the patriotic
efforts Of individuals working directly
under the supervision of the county
boards and the chief registrars of pre-
cincts win result in greater centraliza
tion Of direction"
Planters Pledge Assistance
One of the most important develop
ments Of the day came in the form OF
a letter from the Hawaiian Sugar Plan
ters' Association, pledging all possible
assistance Of a most practicable sort to
the work Of the board. The planter
announced that the managers Of the
plantations will be instructed to get in
touch with the sheriffs of the counties
and hnd out just what those officials
wish from the plantations. in the way
OF helpers, interpreters, clerks and the
like. 49,, $3.50. ....,.., - =
Lunas Of the plantations also win be

In this connection the board an

to avoid long walks and loss of time
and TO make the registration rs easy as
possible. t...HI| ..'........ 49,. ..
County Clerk Kalauokalani is busy
