Francis Brown to
Pitch For HeaIani
Pacific League Team Will Have
Number of Stars This Year:
Squad Holds Practise

Healani stock was given a big boost
today when Harry Decker, manager Of
the team which will enter the Pacific
League, announced that Francis
Brown would be the premier pitcher
of the Healanis.
Francis Brown is considered one OF
the leading hurlers OF the city and it
is certain that he will make a good
showing against the other teams in
the circuit. He is always in good con-
dition and has fast ball that is bound
to cause trouble TO the batters of the
Pacific League teams.
In addition to being good ball
player, Brown is a star swimmer, an
ardent motorist, one of the best golf
ers in Honolulu and is gaining fame
as a poloist The entrance of Brown
is certain to give new interest to the
league.
Decker will also have good pitcher
in Hollinger the southpaw who
worked for st. Louis last year. Hol-
linger has plenty of stuff and is a
beady pitcher Given control, he
ought to become one of the best hurl-
ers in the amateur ranks.
Y. NJ. C. A. Battery
Decker will also have Rawson, the
big seuthpaw who at one time pitched
for Bowdoin. Rawson had a tenoency
to be wild last year, but with practise
should prove an efficient moundsman.
Donald Laid who, with Rawson. COM
prise the Y NJ. C. A. battery, is one
of the best catchers that has appeared
in amateur circles. He will give base
ball his attention this year and should
prove to be real find. ...
John Kelii, the speed merchant OF
the swims, will also play on the team,
and Kelii is rated a real good ball
player. According to Murashige, man
ager of the Nippons, Kelii can both hit
and field, and ought to help the Hea-
lani team.
With Paul Mc1lree, a shifty infielder,
at first, George Bennett, Bill Nylan,
Harry Decker, E. B. Keeff, Boyd,
George Brush, John Hollinger, A.
Decker, William Rowatt, George
Hawkins and the other players men
ton, the Healanis ought to cut quite
a swath in amateur circles. The mem
bers of the boat club are getting back
of the team and will turn out in force
at the opening game. A number OF
players turned out for practise last
evening" e s.-sAt. -

H. G00DlNG FIELD
SAYS GAME FISHING
BOOSTS HONOLULU

Game fishing in Hawaii is doing
much to bring wealthy sportsmen
kere," said H. Gooding Field today.
There are a number of noted anglers
who have been drawn to Hawaii, and
more are coming. Among the anglers
who have been here this month are
Milliken, Weaver. Teller, Miller, Cook
and Hedges and, of course, Jimmy
Jump. =,
Fishermen often string the long
bow to the man who knows nothing
about fishing, but among themselves
they tell the truth. : They have told
the truth about Hawaii, and now every
state in the union is interested in the
game fishing here. Nowhere in the
world may one find the species OF
game fish that we can secure in

TAKING OVER THE WHEAT

To The Beacon: l noticed an ar
ticle in the editorial column of the
Beacon of recent date under the
heading of Don't Horde Your
Wheat" wherein it was stated that
two dollars was a good price for
wheat, and that farmers better sell
or the government would likely step
in and take it away from them at a
lower price.
beg to disagree with the state
ment that two dollars is good price
for wheat; neither is it fair price
at the present time. War and I'M
favorable weather has put wheat, we
might almost say, in the same class
as radium, and only for this talk of
the government Quitting in" and
left to the law of supply and demand
wheat would be bringing four dollars
a bushel right now. At this price
the 1917 wheat would be losing
proposition to the farmers Of Kan
sas, taking the state as a whole.
AS to the other statement that thu
government would take on wheat
regardless of whether we wanted tt
sell or not" that might go in thu
Kaiser's country, but we think il
would be different here.
If the government thinks thai
conditions warrant the taking over
of our little handful of wheat anG
regulating the price, then the thing
to do is to come on down the line
and regulate the price of all commo'
dities.
No class of citizens is more loyal
than the Kansas farmer. He is ready
to make almost any sacrifice at a
time like this. But he is in no humor
to stand any such arbitrary discrim-
mating action as is being talked Of
