MAcKs GOOD HITTING TEAM
Philadelphia Speaks Enthusiastically
Of AthIe&ics' Chances--No Stacker
In Bunch.

James w. ,Gantz, a Philadelphia
writer. speaks enthusiastically of Con-
ME Mack's chances for a good hitting
team. Here Is what he has to say
From the way that thS Athletics have
been handling their bats and recalling
their reputation as minor league slug
gers, there is every reason to believe
that Connie will put on the field this
year a team which In hitting strength
will be the equal OF any that he has
ever had. Every man who Is counted
upon for a regular position in the In
field or the outfield knows how TO
handle his bat. There isn't one Of
them who. to use the language OF the
players, puts his foot In the water
bucket. There isn't a batting Stacker
In the bunch. Every man faces the
usaaher fearlessly and steps into the
bah instead of pulling away from II.
Connie had the minor leagues combed
for hitting talent last year. and ne APP
pears to have landed what he sought"

PROSPERITY HAS LITTLE
EFFECT ON CHARITY WARDS

(Specisl Star Bulletin Correspondence
NEW. YORK, N. .Y.-That the mat
ter Of employment does not enter
largely into the calls made upon or
ganized charity is indicated in the re-
port of the Charity Organization So
ciety of New York for the year 1916.
While last year was one Of plentiful
work and high wages, there we're
cared, for only 200 fewer families than
in 1912 and 1913, the two years i'm
mediately preceding the great period
of Unemployment that had its culmi-
nation after the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war
On the contrary, 20 per cent of the
causes of restitution are shown to be
alcoholism and drug addiction. Over
two-thirds result from sickness or de-
formities More than one-fourth OF
the families studied we're those OF
widows.
The lesson drawn is that the poor
and improvident are always to be
found among the classes which seek
aid from organized charity and are
little increased or diminished by pros
perity or periods of hard times.

MAIL RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE

Figures compiled by postoffice OF.
ficlals show that the number OF bags
OF mail received here from and des.
patched TO all points has increased
steadily in the last year, the gain for
the fiscal year Of 1916 over 1916 for
receipts Of mail from all mainland and
foreign points having been 1852 bags.
In the fiscal year from July /, 1915
TO June 30. 1916, receipts OF mail by
Z the Honoinlu postoffice from all
points except the other islands OF the
territory. totaled 47,2S1 bags against
S9.979 bags for the preceding fiscal
year and Ss,Sss for the year before
N dispatches OF mail from Honolua
Id to all mainland and foreign points
q steady increase is also shown. For
the fiscal year which closed June 80.
1916. the number OF bags despatched
was 1929. For the fiscal year of
1915 10 was 1851 and for 1914 only
1858. This shows q gain FOR 1916
over the 1915 record Of 1852 bags and
above the 1915 record of 2725 bags.
Local pespstches Heavy
For the calendar year of 1915. from
January TO December 81, mails re-
ceived here from the other islands of
the territory totaled 27.09I bags. Des-
patches to the other islands from Ho-
nolulu were 1884 bags. The diserep-
ancy between island receipts and des.
patches Is due TO the large amount of
mail arriving from the mainland and
foreign ports and redistributed here
for the other islands.
