Belgian families which are now refu-
gees in Holland will soon be brought
to Southern California to establish an

of Sir James Slevin, who arrived re-
Gently in Los Angeles. He has spent
the last ten days in the Imperial val

$4,000 acres Of land, which may be the
site OF the proposed colony. Wealthy
New Workers and wealthy Californians

GIANTS should
Land FLAGFOR
SEASON OF II
MeGraW viii Have Great Team
to Begin Season; Veterans
Will Be Big Help

John "Muggsy" McGraw, who took
his team up in the stretch last year
and captured a string of victories
which had the other teams guessing,
is going out for that gonfalOn this
year, and fans in Honolulu may see
Kauff, Fletcher and others mentioned
when the time comes to stage the
world series. ::
Beginning almost where they left
eff last fall, after having established
a record Of q consecutive victories.
the Giants will have big job on their
hands in running true to form, but
the punch is there, and If things nap
pen without kicking hole in the dope,
the worlds series will be staged with
one-half of the receipts counted at the
Polo Grounds. .-..
At first base McGraw will have
Walter Holke, the brilliant recruit
from the International League who
topped the National League batters
last season during the brief period he
was with the New Workers. He is
being called the most promising pros
pect who has won the, spangles OF
major Lacquer in years.
Herzog at Second
Charley Herzog, years ago star
performer at third base and recently
a shining light at shortstop, has been
converted into a second baseman and
is doing better there than at any OF
his former jobs. ~... -. -.
At third base the former Cub,
Heinie Zimmerman, will be planted.
His hitting, in addition to a great
fielding ability, has caused him to be
styled the best third baseman in the
league.
Arthur Fletcher, another brilliant
performer, will be at shortstop.
Every one of these cogs in the in
per machine, with the exception OF
Holke, is a veteran performer. There
isn't chance that a youngster will
take the place of any of them, and for
that reason there will be few re-
eruits on hand. This defense un-
doubtedly will stand through the sea-
son.
The outfield is just as strongly or
ganized, and will have this year an
additional bulwark in the person or
Red Murray, provided McGraw de-
cides to retain the sorrel-topped gar
dener.
And Benny, Too
Benny Kauff will have the center
field position again, and McGraw, in
addition to all his supporters, expects
the former Fed to make good in far
better fashion this year than his last
effort showed. Kauff's hitting last
season began to show improvement
as the season approached its end.
Davy Robertson will be planted in
right field and George Burns in left,
unless all the signs fail. They are
both mighty hitters and far above the
average as fielders.
For a pitching staff McGraw has
the youthful, brilliant Schupp as a
nucleus for a wonderful staff. Sehupp
has been doing some holding out, but
is expected to be on hand when the
time comes to report. In addition,
there will be Jeff Tesreau, Fred An
derson, Poll Perritt, Slim Sallee and
few recruits who are expected to
show well.
Kocher, Rariden and Gibson are
signed to New York contracts. These,
with Lew Mccarthy to lead the way,
form an efficient catching staff.

CLUB
SAILS TOMORROW
ON HILL Liner
Win Meet Nick Williams and
Spokane Club at Stockton;
Have Enjoyed Stay Here

President W. w. McCredie, Mrs.
AcCredie and Manager Walter Nc
Creole, with the representatives OF
the Portland newspapers and the base
hall team, will leave Honolulu tomog-
row morning on the Great Northern
fer Stockton, where they will meet
other members of the team and con-
tInue training until the end of the
season.
The Portland contingent has been
we'll pleased with the climate here,
and all regret TO leave. The Portland
newspaper men have been especially
pleased with Honolulu as a training
camp, and want to come back next
season
Meet Spokane Team
Upon their arrival at Stockton, the
Portland crew will meet the Spokane
team, managed by Nick Williams. and
the other members OF the Portland
team who were not signed to con.
tracts before the Niagara left for
Honolulu. Babe Borton, Siglin, Far
mer and Leake will report to Nick
Williams this week.
On the eve of the departure of the
team Il looks as IL McCredie had gath
cred together a strong aggregation.
and IL Fincher, Brenton and Leake can
show something the Hulas should be
well fortified in the pitching depart
ment. Houck looks like fixture, and
Penner has also showed a lot of stuff.
Lyle Bigbee has been hard to hit,
but has had a tendency to become
wild at times.
Higbee and IIelfrich have pitched
good ball for the past two years, and
may show something before the train
ing season is over. Brandt, OF course,
lacks experience, while SchatZlein and
Zweifel are showing lot of stuff for
youngsters It would not be surpris-
ing If both these boys will become
regulars before many moons.
Sharks Ahead
Yesterday morning Judge and Mrs.
McCredie, the three newspaper men
and a party of ball players made their
first shark fishing tour. The shark
is said TO have dashed against the boat
number of times, and Roscoe Faw-
cett and Bob Cronin had most en-
joyable experience. Lou Kennedy
stood the trip all right, as he had
prepared for the occasion. Judge Nc
Credie and Bill Rodgers didn't talk
baseball during the trip, and the prin-
cipal topic when the boat was pitching
was about hearses and undertakers.
byron Houck, who used to sail on the
Columbia slough. was not troubled
with illness, and Johnny Williams
thought he was having wonderful
time.
Bill Rodgers wanted to go hunting
for wild bears this afternoon, but in
asmuch as the Beavers will be play
ing the Chinese and 25th Infantry
teams, Bill will be needed around the
keystone station. Bill shot one of the
wild and ferocious animals, and gave
big dinner party for the ball players
recently.

II seems that the Boston Red SoX

Back in the days of John |. Tay-

The .Mid-Pacifics smashed the Y M.
C. A. bowling record last evening by
rolling 1850 in their second game. This
breaks the alley record of 1017 which
has been held by the Honolulus for
five years.
Every man was going great guns in
the record game. Capt. NaatZ bowled
232. Ben Kaumeheiwa, chaplain OF
the house of representatives, made his
presence in Honolulu felt by rolling
213. Earl McTaggert was there with
209. NJ. A. Camara staged a great
finish and brought his game up to an
even 200. Arthur Nelson made four
strikes in his last five efforts and
turned in 1876 for, his count.
The Mid-Pacifics are one of the
youngest teams in the league and de-
serve full credit for their remarkable
performance. Capt Naatz has organ
lied a group of bowlers with little or
no league experience until they are
really dangerous for any team. Every
man is rolling for the first season in
the Y NJ C. A. senior league, although
kaumeheiwa has had much experience
on Maui teams.
The four games went to the Mid
Paeifics although the Service made a
good bid for the first and third Horn
berger was in good form, but the rest
of the Service team fell somewhat
below averages Kaumeheiwa and
