MAUI FAIR ASSN
TO ACT SPONSOR
FOR BASEBALL
fspsc,,I s..-.zurlst,u Correspondence,

,WAILUKU, Maui, Aug. 10.-Organ-
lied baseball on Maui will hereafter
be sponsored by the Maui County Fair
& Racing Association. This was de-
cision of the board of directors of the
organization at a meeting Tuesday.
Upon adopting the suggestion r. A.
Wadsworth, president Of the athletic
association, was named by President
Frank Baldwin as chairman of the new
athletic department, with authority to
select his own assistants.
It is understood that the Maui Ath-
letic Association, which has heretofore
disbanded. Former President Wads-
worth. as a member Of the fair asso-
citation directorate, will really CONT
nue. to head the baseball organization,
but at the same time will tie it def
initely to the big association in the
same way as the racing department is
affiliated.
D. T. Fleming, who was appointed
some time ago q committee of one to
look into the matter Of improvements
tothe grounds needed for the asso-
citation, reported that it is desirable
to fill in some six acres of ground
on the mauka side of the race track
and adjoining the Puunene road to
the extent of some 1880 cubic yards.
The cost of this fill, he reported,
would be between 20 and 80 cents per
yard, or probably $500.
It is on this filled area that it is
l.
ings which will be needed for fair and
other purposes of the organization.
Fleming recommended that the grand
stand be again located on the south
side of the track.
The report met with general ap-
prevail, and the president was author.
lied to proceed to secure a new lease
from the Hawaiian Commercial &
Sugar Company for the land which
will be needed.

FIlPINOS. TAKE
TWO GAMES FROM
WAIPAAU SQUADS
LAM Beats Leaguers in II In
nings z to |; 0hia Blanks
7. N. B. A. ToSSerS

Waipahu was given a good example
Of baseball yesterday afternoon when
the Filipino team journeyed down to
the plantation town, and took the two
leading teams Of Waipahu into camp
by score Of to l and to 0.
The first game was an excellent ex-
hibition throughout. The Filipinos
won out in the 18th inning when Boni
and Beny hit in succession. LAM was
on the mound for the Fflipinos, and
Fred Carter pitched for the Waipahu
league team.
Both LAM and Carter pitched good
ball Beny's error was responsible for
the one run scored by the home folks
during the day. Florence at short
stop for Waipahu played good ball,
while Cordero also performed in good
style.
The Hawaiian Electric team was
scheduled to play the Y. NJ. c. A. team
in the second game, but failed to
show up, and the F1lipinos did not
want to disappoint the large crowd,
and agreed to play another game. The
Y. NJ. c. A. team is considered the
champions Of the section, but they
failed TO score a run off Ohia, who
pitched an excellent game throughout.
Planas was the big hitter in the sec
ond game, getting one Of the longest
homers ever MADE on the Waipahu
grounds. He also connected for a
triple. He made the only error of
the game for the Fflipinos, throwing
wild to first. Marcial made two pretty
running catches Of hard balls, and
Garcia saved run by making a pref
ty catch of a hard hit ball. Boni was
the leading hitter during the day, get.
ting five bits in the two games.
But one man reached third in the
second game, and only two in the
first game, off the Filipino pitchers
Yoshi who pitched for the Y. M. B. A.
team, had lot of stuff on the ball,
and Murakami ought to look this play
er over, as he would, come in handy
with Nushida and Maesake out of it.
Kobiyashi at second also played good
ball.
The following players performed for
the Fflipinos in the two games: Kae-
no, c; Lepes, c; LAM, Pr Ohia, p;
Beny, 1b; Batong, 2b; Marcial, 3b;
Planas. IS; Garcia, If; Ciraco, CT; Lo-

Chinese and HeaIaniS Drop
Games to KaIua Crowd;
HealaniS Lose

Hawaiis still retained their 1000
class when they defeated the Healanis
in a game that proved q real con-
test on, Sunday at Moiliili Field.
Mitchell Of the Hawaiis won his third
consecutive game in the Pacific
league. He beat the Chinese on Sat
urdsy in a five-inning game by the
score of 5 to 3. In this game rain pre-
vented further play, but as it was al
ready five innings, Umpire Jackson
called the game in favor Of the Ha'
walls.
A small crowd witnessed yesterdays
game, owing to the fact that the main
attraction was being pulled off at
Athletic Park. This game was the
only one of the day on the Pacific
league card.
Manager kalua played star game
with the bludgeon, securing two hits
out of four chances. Captain McIlree
of the Healanis had an unusually
sharp batting eye and as a conse-
Quence, he made three bingles out OF
five trips to the rubber.
kuehn started things for the Hea-
lanis but was taken out in the fourth
inning. Hollinger pitched the remain
ing frames.

Sporting Editor Star.BuIletin.
Sir: For the fact that was among
the spectators in the recent swimming
meet held in the Y. n. C. A. tank last
evening. ] would like to pass my re.
marks on the go service race which
was claimed to be q fizxIe. Who was
to blame for the error? Why did Muir.
ply quit on the tenth lap? Why was
not first and second places given to
the two men who finished the II
laps? Il Is widely believed here
among the service men that there win
never again be another boost in swim.
ming as two OF the fastest service
swimmers shook hands after the meet
and said that they would never swim
against each. other again. 1t is the be-
lief Of the supporters Of this form OF
sport, that Walker would have broken
the tank record for this distance, az
he took the lead from the start but
stopped three times on account Of
someone's error. g.
