HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN

calls were received during the meet
ing urging the board not 20 intro
duce the system into the local
school.
Supt. J. F. Nuner. asked by the
board TO express his opinion on the
matter of adopting the Wyoming
system. said that despite the care
ful study he had given the propos-
ed training course. he could only
say II would be an experiment He
was. however. Of the opinion that il
has many good points and could
under the proper conditions be made
10 work out to advantage. He said
he was willing TO abide by the de-
cisiOn Of the board in the matter
and would rather not influence them
one way or another n. ma king that
decision.
Outside Sentiment Divided.
Communications he has received
from several other cities where the
system has been tried, including
several Wyoming cities, were divided
as 10 its merits, some endorsing il.
others doubling It's value. Mr.. Nuner
was, however, inclined 10 believe
that the introduction Of the system
here at the present time. would
cause much inconvenience because
the class work for the semester has
already been arranged IL would be
possible TO organize the course es-
pecially If the boys were willing to
remain after school hours TO take
the work. In this case, il was point
ed out the work might interfere
with the regular physical cultural
course and athletic work which the
students Of the high school must
take during their first and second
years course.
William Glenn, president OF the
board did not express himself def
initely on the matter Of adopting
the training system here, at the
meeting Monday night. He believes
the system has good points and bad
and that the matter will bear fur
Their investigation.

Why This Half-Price Sale Must STOP

Mark Twain wanted everyone in America
to own set of his books. So one of the
last things he asked us was that we make
a set at so low price that everyone might
own it.
He said: Don't make editions to sell for
5000 or $500 and 1000. Make good books,
books good to look at and easy to read,
and make their price low" So we have
made this set. And until now we were
able to sell it at this low price But thing

meets Freddie Welsh next Monday night
in New York. He never will get a real.
iong-distance chance at Freddie's title.
nor will he ever get a short chance in
q state where decisions can be given.
Leonard's record is enough to shoot a
streak of gooseffesh up Welsh's back

who have come up until they met the

Of knockouts is something the British
dodger never had attached to his name.

It will be the third meeting between
the two boys. Some time ago. when
Leonard hadn't perfected a kneck-'em-
dead punch Welsh agreed to meet him
and was given the surprise of his cham
pionship life. Welsh was i'm poor con-
dition and was given a sound beating
ny the souhss,eI. men they were
matched again. The bout was held in
Washington Park. Brooklyn. The trim
ming Welsh gave Leonard in that en-
counter will be remembered as the most
thorough thing that ever happened TO
q young shining light. Welsh punched
holes in Leonard's defense and he moved
so fast Leonard never was able to do
more than lay q peevish finger on him.

of Leonard. Having once defeated the
champion. he has felt ever since that
it needed only the proper condition to
give him the chance TO knock the title
from Welsh's head onto his own.
Billy Gibson took Leonard into retire
mont shortly after he started handling
his affairs. and he announced-much TO
the amusement of the sporting public
that Leonard was developing a Joe
Sans punch. Joe. the old-timers will
remember. had n habit Of dropping his
fist on an opponents jaw from almost
any angle. with the sudden result that
the fight was over.
Leonard came out after working on
this punch and began to. lay out his
opponents. His right hand is the
deadly mitt. hut he is able 10 smash
away with either hand. In fact. he
uppercuts with the off-paw with fully
as much vigor and accuracy az the
average boxer does with the light one.
His punching is fast. his blocking ex-

day among the lightweights. He is a
finished workman at putting his man
out. And he has the best chance to be

FATE OF SPORTS.

What is TO become of sports this summer, when the war fills the
peoples minds, and the first pages of the newspapers and 81 many
of the heroes OF the diamond are off in the ranks o o the battle
ships? The a is going TO take the ginger out of baseball, and yet
it would be better If it were not altogether so. 1t would be a great
psychological victory for one to drop his columns of carnage and
seek the seats of the bleachers. 1t would help the soul up 0 n the
happier attitudes of being. We fellows whose blood crawls along the
arteries must have something besides CORY battles TO make life
worth living. So keep up baseball Now is the time for il. If there
is any idea II stopping IT. wait till the a is over. and certainly as
long a basket ball and golf have any claim on the conscience.
Take your base. play ball. u IN first, instead Of doube quick o the
trenches and bang. bang, says n exchange.

HOTELS fill Up
CLOSE TO LIMIT

After the first wild scurry from
Piers 10, Is and 16, where over 500
visitors stepped into Honolulu Tues
day from the decks of the Sierra, the
Matsonia and the Great Northern, and
various hotel clerks have ceased tear
ing their hair, many are wondering
where the big crowd all slept.
Early morning calls at the larger
hotels showed that practically every
room had been taken, but there we're
few reports of anyone being turned
away who had made reservations, in
fact none whose rights were clear to
the coveted accommodations.
But despite the fact that practically
every room In the city was taken
there are no reports from the police
of tourists sleeping in the street and
1t is generally believed that all Sc.
cured suitable quarters-that the
crowd which arrived yesterday just
comfortably filled Honolulu, but was
by no means Overlooking.
The Moana was the scene of the
grandest rush with 175 new guests,
but even now there is room there for
a few more, and the Pleasanton was a
merry sight with over 800 guests to
dinner and about 5000 at the evening
hula dancing
The Seaside is full up; so is the
Royal Hawaiian. The Young is prac-
tically sold out and every room in the
Blaisdell was taken The Blaisdell
management says it could have taken
a few more single men by placing
them on cots on sleeping porches.
Otherwise there was nothing doing"
after the first grand crush.
Smaller places such as the Pier
Point, the Romagoy. the Donna, Mrs.
Gray's, the Ainahau, the Colonial and
the CORTLAND, the places along King
street and others, have been comfort
ably filled for some weeks, but by
doubling UP, erecting tents and build
ing an extra cottage here and there
quite an additional number of visitors
have been accommodated
Trentown also did a booming bust
ness, quite a number of the little cot.
tages being occupied last night
With the general understanding that
few of the big crowd are going out
before the next influx of vacationists,
many hotel people are now wonder
ing just where they will put those who
come on the next boats.
