Only Twenty-four Out of 1872 AppIi-

Only Twenty-four Out of 1872 AppIi-
cants Accepted by Marine Corps
Why so many men are rejected for
military service is partially explained
by the weekly report of Recruiting OFF,
Ger Sergeant G. G. Wright, compiled
after the recent drive for recruits in
the United States marine corps.
Out of 1872 applications for enlist
ment during the week only twenty
four We're accepted. Others We're re-
jected for the following causes: Under
age, thirty-one; under weight, thirty;
defective vision. twenty-siX; defective
hearing. four; fat feet, sixteen. Sixty
one others We're rejected as ''undesir-
able through failure to meet the ex-
acting mental, moral and physical re-
quirements.
The standard of the "soldiers of the
sea- is very high, though certain mod
1fications may be put into effect later
should it be necessary to follow the
precedent of the countries that have
been draining their man power for
three years. Sergeant Wright saws
that at present II per cent is about the
average of acceptances throughout the
country.

like frightened laugh. Don Porando
stalls around for few minutes in the
hope that the movie people are on the

his tail between his legs and beats it
around the arena. But the bull is q
sucker for setting the pace, it appears.
Soon Don wears him down, there is a
flash Of Toledo steel, the bull sinks
slowly to his launches, casts his dying
eyes about in wondering pain, sticks
out his tongue as If to lick the hand

Honolulu will have a 100-yard per

by the members Of the Hawaiian Row
ing Association materialize. At a
meeting last week at the Star-Bul-

ton went on record as in favor Of a
definite plan which was outlined.
With the proposals for the new
wharves the Myrtes, Healanis and Nj

houses. They had no place to go and
for a time the situation looked dark
for the future of rowing in Honolulu,
Rowing has been an institution here
and the fact that Regatta Day Is a
legal holiday clearly shows the inter

given the rowing sport.
The members of the Hawaiian Row
ing Association had to do one Of two
things: abandon the rowing game or
secure a new site for their clubhouses,
Campbell Crozier, one Of the commit
tee, outlined a plan which would give
the clubs a site at the proposed lum-
Der wharf near the present site OF the
Myrtle Boat Club.

Crozier's plan was to dredge slip
300 feet long, 100 feet wide and 10 feet

had marathon events. Morgan pitched
an excellent game for the 25th 1nfan'
try, az is evidenced by the fact that
he allowed but four safe hits, no two
OF which occurred in the same inning.
He walked none and sent four OF the
Infants back to the bench by the Wh1tt

a very large number Of bingles, seven

The lumber wharf would be on one
side of the slip, and the boat clubs
would be placed on the opposite side
One particularly good feature OF
the plan is the fact that Honolulu
would have permanent swimming
course which would not necessitatc
the shifting Of vessels. 1t is planned
to erect the bleachers on the harbor
side Of the slip, and at the end Of the
swimming course. THIS would give
400 feet Of bIeachers, in addition to
the space in front of the boat clubs
which could be used
A channel running from the slip to
the harbor would give access for the
barges, and would in no way inter
fere with the present plans Of the lum-
Der wharf. The slir would leave 1874
feet for the lumber wharf, which would
give plenty Of room for the lumber
firms.
Clubs All Endorse
The Healanis, Myrtles, HonoIulus
and Kunalus have heartily Endorsed
the plan, which will be presented to
the various civic and athletic organi-
cations Of the city. At the meeting

1t is mighty fortunate that the Port

Yesterday afternoon at Athletic Park
the st. Louis team downed the Portu-

The recent performance Of the ALL

enough, but there is hardly an alibi
for q Is to 2 game. The Saints ham.
