MUTUALS HAVE
Chance TO Be
IN flag RACE

The Mutual baseball team won
from the Won Hamm-Young team at
Moilili field on Sunday morning by a
score of 10 to 0. This places them in
a tie with the Coombs team for first
place Plada did not allow a runner
to reach first in six innings. Avilla
was the leading hitter for the Mu-
tuals.
The Iron Works forfeited their game
to the Schuman squad, which places
the Sckuman team only one-half a
game behind the leaders. Schuman
will meet the Reach team in the next
game. The Hawaiian Electrics won
out after Umpire Walker had called
the game at the end of the seventh
inning. The tar-Bulletin will per-
haps protest this game on a techni-
cality. The score was close through
out. The Advertiser team came to the
front by winning from the Service
First squad when they punched hits
in the eighth inning. The score was
10 to 9.

BILL HOLuINGER
DEFEATS ASAHIS
HeaIanis Win When SouthpaW
Holds Opponents to Four
Hits; MaeSake Plays

Although Maesake, the little south
paw Of the Asahis, made a game eff
fort TO stop the Healanis on Saturday
afternoon at Moiliili field, his injured
leg refused to stand up to the strain,
and heavy hitting by the DeCkerites
gave the boatmen the game by q
score Of to 2.
Bill Hollinger, who was selected TO
pitch for the I-ealanis, surely hurled
a beautiful game, and the Asahis Sc
cured but four hits off his delivery
during the afternoon. For five in
nings not a hit was secured off his
delivery, and his sharp breaking
curves had the Asahis at a disad.
vantage.
Zenimura started on the mound for
the Asahis, but retired in favor Of
Maesake when Miyahara was injured.
The Healanis scored two runs off
Zenimura on hits by Hughes and Raw
SON McTighe's single and an error
gave them another run in the fourth.
Errors gave them a run in the fiftI,
and the Asahis scored their first run
in the same inning on an error by
Victor. Singles by Yasunaga and Mae
sake gave them their last run in the
seventh.
The@Healanis put the game on ice III
the seventh when Haneberg, Mcllree,
Diehl, Hughes and Rawson singled,
netting two runs. Hollinger's pitch.
ing and Yasunaga's fielding featured
the game.

FLIPINOS Win
FROM 'KINLEY
IN II INNINGS
Lets Go" Crowd Follow Ex-
ample of Manila Champions
in Staging Overtime Game

If you should happen to think that
the residents of the Philippines are
afraid Of work on the ball field, just
forget it. The last few days give suf-
fiCient proof that YOU are wrong. On
Saturday an aggregation Of players
from Manila played an thinning game.
and yesterday afternoon the Filipinos
came right back at them with an.
other thinning affair, winning from
Mckinley by score of : to 6.
The only difference in the situation
was the fast that the Pacific league
team had been acclimated while the
other team wasn't. For. seven innings
Mckinley played perfect ball, and it
was a real ball game up to this point.
The Filipinos scored right off the bat
when Marcial brought over a run in
the first inning. The McKinleyites
scored three runs in the second on
Ross double, but for the next six
times at bat neither team scored.
Ohia Makes Good
Ohia, who, according to rumor,
pitched for the University of Manila,
and held the high school team with
out run for nine innings. Doubles
by Ross and SouZa were responsible
for the runs made by Mckinley.
Lopes, who went behind the bat early
in the game, gave a great exhibition
Of catching, and his pegging to the
bases was perfect.
Mckinley appeared to have the
game sewed up in the eighth inning,
but the Filipinos rallied in this in
ming, and two hard hits, coupled with
some wierd fielding on the part of
the high school gave the Filipinos five
runs. Mckinley came back in the
ninth and tied the score when Souza
hit a screaming two-bagger to the
fence.
There were more than 200 Filipinos
in the stands, and when Mckinley tied
the score the prospects looked dark.
But the Lets Go" crowd came back
in the eleventh, and put the run over
which gave them the game. Despite
his two errors, Planas played good
ball, while the same may be said for
Souza. Marcial handled eight chances
without slip and Kong at third also
played an excellent game Kan Leong
was the batting star of the day, get
ting four hits. Plans. Lopes, Ohia and
Kim Wal gathered two each. Mon
sarrat's play on a hard hit ball was
the feature Of the game. Ross pitched
excellent ball for Mckinley, holding
the Filipinos to no hits for five in.

Mistaken for Patriotism.

A small youngster has been drilled
by his mother in politeness and cour-
tesy toward the opposite sex until he
is Il model for his years, relates the
indianapolis News. 1t is quite as
natural for him to rise when Il woman
enters the room as it is for the aver
age boy to sit still. One day he was
playing with a companion of his own
usc who is quite as bright, but hasn't
acquired all the rules Of etiquette
ulong with infantile diseases. This
boys mother came into the room sew
cral times in the course of the morn
ing. and each time the polite young
ster rose to his feet and stood until
she had gone. After time the other
youngster noticed this strange proceed
ong, and said curiously: Say, d you
think my mother is the 'Star-Spangled
Banner?'"

Horse a War Factor.

From the National Humane Review.
There are 100000 horses engaged in
this war. On the western front the
losses have averaged 47.O00 horses a
month. In eight hours fighting along
a three mile front at Verdun the
French lost soil horses.
More than 100000 of Americas
horses have been purchased for serv
ice with the allies. In the first seven
months of 1917 the value of horses
shipped to Europe from American ports
was $25,327,3 33. For the month of July
alone the value was S1,377,202. VAST
age of horses means an enormous
money loss, which mere money cannot
now replace Thirty three thousand
horses have died in America while
awaiting shipment and 5000 have died
at sea in course Of transit.
In nine weeks the British captured
1872 German field and heavy guns and
lost none. The German losses are
partly due to lack of horses.
America, with an army Of 100000
men, will require 100000 horses to be-
gin with. and shipload after shipload
to keep the force up to the strength.
The total need will exceed 100000 a
year under fighting conditions, and
| may even be vastly greater.

Find Old Buddhistic Manuscript.
From Japan SocietY Rulletin.


In the city Of NIatsue there lived an in
dustrious maker OF clogs named Jisuke,
whose family had possessed for genera
tions quaint manuscript of vellum the
origin OF which was unknown 1t re-
Gently occurred to the present owner that
the parchment might have value. He
first submitted it to the Tokyo Imperial
university. where it was pronounced a
sacred Buddhistic writing Of the 18th CEN
tury. Jisuke was advised to take it to the
Nichieren Sect college, where he was in
formed that it was an original manuscript
by Nichiren t1e22-12S2), founder of one
OF the many sects of Buddhism. The writ
ing was in Nichiren's own hand and was
