BRINzA BLANKS
COAST DEFENSE
TOSSERS SUNDAY

Pitcher Brinza of the 1st-32nd was
right yesterday. And when you can
utter that you have said a whole
mouthful. The mound artist was as
stingy with his hits in the game with
the Coast Defense team as a miser Is
with nut sundae, and as result the
1st-32nd aggregation defeated the
Coast Defense team In the Moiliili tilt
by a score of to 0.
1t was real ball game from start
to finish, and those fans who missed
the encounter have themselves to
blame. Both teams presented star
lineups, and 1t was hard to choose
between them when they trotted onto
the field.
Real Ball Game
Rrinza Too Good
Crumpler was on the mound for the
Coast Defense team, and Hawaii's pre-
mier southpaw had world Of stuff,
and incidentally pitched good game
against the wand wielders from the
plains of Leilehua, but he was up
against hard proposition, as Brinza
allowed but four bingles, scattered
in as many innings, and Cummings
double was the only real hard hit for
the Defense team. Brinza incidentally
gent 10 of the Coasters back to the
bench via the wigwag route.
The Schofield moundsman had his
fast bali working, and although he
hurried his pitching, did not weaken
and famed five Of his opponents In
the seventh and eighth innings. With
a runner on third in the fifth with
one down, he disposed of Gritchfield
and Crumpler.
johnson Starred
Johnson, who handled the keystone
sack for the Defenders, was all over
the field He gave real exhibition
of infield play, taking care Of ten
chances without an error. HolcombI
at third for the Schofield team also
starred In the field, cutting off sure
hits on two occasions. Two fast dou,
BILE plays by the Coasters saved the
score on two occasions. There was
plenty Of pep in the game, and with
everything equal the tussle yesterday
ought to 60 down as a real ball con-
test. Sergeant Lester will lose Stra.I
ton and Boyle, bit with Rails on hand
and two or three other stars ready to-
play, the team should make a good
showing In the future.
Good Officiating -.
Henry Chillingworth worked behind
the bat yesterday, and his judgment
Of balls and strikes was the best seen
at MoiliiIi this year. Aylett also fol-
lowed the play well on the bases, and
the officiating kept right up with the
class of ball played.

Schuman Takes Game From
EIgins When Williams Holds
Opponents to Two BingIes

Johnny Williams, the big league
star Of the Schuman Carriage Co., had
the Coombs' squad eating out of his
hand yesterday morning at Athletic
park, beating the Elgins and holding
them to two hits. Schuman gathered
three runs during the affair. Coombs
gathered one. s..
Williams was the whole show as
he famed 13, and Kai Luke and Kan
Leong were the only players to hit
safely. Luck zee also pitched a
good game, but Of course his work
did not stand out in comparison with
that of the former Detroit finger.
3. The game was long drawn out
affair, despite the fact that there was
much good play. Mara made a beau
tiful play on a hard hit ball in the
fifth, and Yen Chin raced. over and
nabbed a runner on a pretty play.
williams was good in the ptnches,
and whenever a run threatened he
usually frightened up and retired the
batsman. III.

TO 7 TO I TIE
Pirates Have Chance to Win
But Throw it Away With Poor
Base Running; II Innings

The Pirates. and Chinese of He-
nolulu played for II innings yester-
day at Athletic park, and as Barney
JOY declared that his eyesight was
failing to catch them, decided to call
off the affair in the growing dark
ness, with the score a tie. -.
There was only a small crowd on
hand, but the teams played good ball
throughout. The Pirates made II hits
during the day, and should have had
the game sailed away on several &C.
casions, but peor work on the sacks
caused them to lose out in the run
situation. IL liz l..
Kan Yen got a three-base blow in
the first of the fourth which gave his
team two runs. The Pirates scored
six times and all was serene. The
Chinese had to make things look good
SO they also went out and scored five
runs. = Tx :.~s-E
Warehouse and Swan had a merry
pitchers duel, and although the Chi
nese pitcher was hit harder, he kept
his bingles we'll scattered. Water

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

In the first year Of the war we wer,
much concerned with the opportunity OF
gaining our natural and due share OF
South American trade. Our business
men were investigating the Latin.Amer
ican field. Our people Were turning tc
the study Of Spanish and the perusal
of maps, trade reports and travel books
dealing with the unfamiliar southern
half of our hemisphere. Our banks
were opening branches below the equa.
tor. Our government was doing its best
20 foster the new movement.
We have heard little about that Latin.
American trade lately. And the reason
is that we've been getting it. The intel
iigent efforts of our exporters and gov.
ernment representatives are bearing
fruit.
a compilation made by the National
City bank of New York shows that our
trade with South America for the first
seven months OF this year has been S547.-
100000. For the same period of 1914
it was only $202 100000. There is an
increase OF over 10 per cent. The
trade is still growing. II may be ex.
pected to increase faster than ever as
result Of the new confidence and ap.
proval We have won among our South
American neighbors by our entrance
into the war.
There should be no let.up in the
efforts by which we have contributed
TO this fine result. North Americans
should seek still better understanding
Of South Americans. We want not
only their trade but their unreserved
friendship and cooperation in all mat.
ters affecting this hemisphere. We
want them as partners In the spread
of American ideals throughout the
world.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

The war has given such impetus to
public control and ownership Of many
kinds that 1t arouses little surprise

of our important public utilities. The
commissioners appear to think that II
will soon be found advisable for the gov
crnment to take over the railroads. tel.

Speaking In particular of the rail

which these experts are most familiar,
they point out that earnings have not
risen sufficiently to provide necessary
improvements, extensions and rolling
stock; that under our present system Of
regulation the roads will not be permit.
ted to raise rates high enough to obtain
the necessary capital from net earnings;
that the funds must therefore come
either from private investors or from
the government. They can hardly be
got from private sources. the experts
think. under present conditions. The
only feasible way to get them, apparent.
ly, is in the form of government loans.
Thus the situation narrows down 10
government ownership. AS for govern
ment operation, we have practically
that, already. II is but step, then. to
changing the corporation bonds and
stock certificates into federal securities,
and financing the national Transports

financing the war.
The same process. presumably. would
be applied TO the telephone and tele-

Industries is not SO serious as that OF
the railroads. but the federal absorp-

A PATRIOTIC INDUSTRY.

The American Meat Packers associa
ton, in convention at Chicago, adopted
a resolution declaring: 1T Is vital to
the maintenance of free government in
the world and to the existence Of this
nation as an Independent democracy
that we win this war. Therefore II Is
the duty of every true American
whether on the battle front, In the camp
or in the home, to give the very best

Fine words, easily spoken! But the
packers went further than fine words
They proceeded to pledge their great
industry to complete cooperation with
the government for the conservation OF
the nations food supply. They prom
ised to give the American army the
very best meat they could furnish, a,
prices as near actual cost as they can
make them. and also to sell to the pub
lie at the lowest possible margin OF
profit.
Here, indeed, is a wondrous transfer
nation in an industry that was guilty
of the "embalmed beef" scandals in
the Spanish war. Its reformation seems
sincere, and its promises are accepted
at face value. The conduct of the. big
packers since we entered the war has
been to create confidence in their good
faith.
How the nation would rejoice at "A

EYES or THE NATION ON wIscoN'
SIN

Memphis Commerciai Appeal: Late
United States Senator Husting OF Wis
consin was buried last week In his home
town with distinguished honors.
President Wilson was personally rep
resented ut the funeral and expressed,
with others who know the dead sena'
tor. his belief that his passing was an
irreparable loss TO the nation mt this
critical time.
He was a man who could be depended
upon 70 do the right thing at the right
time, declared the president. He was
one OF the men In the Senate that Will
be sorely missed.
But Senator Husting has been laid 10
rest His seat In the Senate In vacant.
The nation awaits Who will his sue
cessor be? Who viii Wisconsin send to
Washington TO fill the position so ably
held and with such unfailing dignity as
that displayed by this son Of the peo'
pie?
From the viewpoint Of Washington
politics the special election 10 pick the
successor OF Senator Husting VIII test
the strength of the La Toilette antiwar
propaganda In the state.
Leaders of both national parties feel
that the election will effectively stamp
out the lingering sympathy that may
still be retained for la Toilette. Wis
consin. il is hoped. will come clearly be
fore the people of the United States
and forcibly repudiate the unwise and
disloyal actions Of the man sent to
Washington to represent the state in a
fitting and honorable way.
Senator Husting was n Democrat, was
an ardent supporter of President VIII
son and felt that the honor of his state
could not be vindicated unless La Fol-
lette was impeached.
That Senator La Toilette still has n
following i'm Wisconsin cannot be deni-
ed, and that he will take an active part
in the coming election has been shown
In several significant ways.
Political leaders in Washington reluc-
tantly admit that La Toilette is still a
factor to be reckoned with. His hold
upon the state in the past has been
strong and leaders in both parties nd
init that In the special election 1t Will
he a hard fight to obliterate the normal.
ly heavy La Toilette majority.
That La Toilette will have candi.
date Of his own Is foregone conclusion
and 1t is believed that this candidate
will make the race on the La Toilette
antiwar platform.
Senator Husting made too earnest n
fight against pro-Germanism. or. as he
himself put IL, against anttAmerican'
ism, TO have the issue fade in the pick.
ing Of his successor What he fought
for, 1t Is contended, will press itself In
to the campaign as the foremost issue,
and the battle at the polls. with the line
clear cut as between antiwar propagan-
da and loyal support Of the administra.
ton in the world conflict.
When the vote Is counted the country
will see that Wisconsin will be as true
to the honor Of the nation as her sister
states. The country has had enough OF
La Toilette and his trOuble-breedlns ilk.
