From U. S. Shipping Board
That Matson Boats viii Be
Seized Only in Case Of Great
Emergency

Formal protest filed by Delegate
Kuhio with the u. 8. shipping board
against the. proposed communicating
Of the Maui and the Matsonia has
brought forth the assurance that These
two liners win not be taken over by
the government except In case Of
great emergency necessitated by the
needs of transportation or hospital
ships. This is taken to mean that
the vessels will continue to ply be.

balance of the year at least, or per.
haps extending well into 1918, depend
ing on the necessity of ships occa-
stoned by the despatch Of troops to
France. ~ .g1st .s.,...e=l & -. -.
Word Of the assurance Of the ship.
ping board came to Honolulu In a
letter from the delegate to Secretary
Taylor Of the promotion committee.
The letter follows:
Washington. D. c., July 6, 1917.
Mr.. A. P. Taylor, =
Secretary, Hawaii Promotion Com
mittee, >
Honolulu, Hawaii. -
Dear Sir:
Relative to the sending out of false
reports concerning the presence OF
submarines in the Pacific ocean,
wish to add that in q personal inter.
view with the secretary Of the navy,
he assured me most strongly that he
was firmly opposed to the giving out
Of false and alarming reports which
might tend to brighten shipping inter
ests. He further assured me that the
navy department was not responsible
for the rumors, and that he would
see to II that no such reports would
be sent out in the future.
With regard to the possibility OF
the government communicating the
Maui and Matsonia, would state that
I called at the headquarters Of the
shipping board and protested the
taking over of these two ships ] was
assured that these ships would be
taken over only In case Of great
emergency for either transport serv.
ice or for hospital work. It is, there
fore, probable that they may not be
taken over for some months to come.
or that they may not be taken oVee
at all. However, we In Hawaii, mus:
realize at this time that the govern.
ment Is likely to use all its resources,
and in case it does commander these
boats, it only does so because Of great
necessity, and, therefore we ought in
a patriotic spirit assent to the wishes
of the government.
Trusting that II may not be neces-
sary for the government to take over
these ships, I remain, with best
wishes, ga
Very truly yours,

No Sales Reported in
New York State League;
Blame 1t All on War

Scranton, Sept. 12.-Proving that
the New York State League is slump
ing badly in the way of developing
talent, and also that the majors have
hit on a plan of economy on account
of the war; the six teams making up
the Farrell wheel finished the season
without having sold one player to
the big leagues.
This is an unheard of condition in
the State League, which. in bygone
years, has turned out such stars as
Steve O'Neill. Heinie Zimmerman,
George Burns, Gladstone Graney,
Johnny Evers, Bill Hinchman, Leon
Cadore, Pep Young, Frank Schultz,
Bill Fisher, George Chalmers,N How
ard Ehmke, Grover Cleveland Alex
ander and q number of others.
State League managers claim the
failure of teams to sell players to the
majors this year is due to the war
conditions entirely not because
there is a scarcity of talent. 1t is
their contention that the league has
as many promising youngsters to-
day as in previous campaigns, and
that but for the unsettled outlook
that confronts the national game,
the usual number of profitable sales
would have been negotiated.

least two weeks preliminary work.
And not in the last decade has
smaller squad reported to the coach
es. only twenty-three aspirants ap-
piled for uniforms.
Coaches Harlow, Scott and Martin
welcomed the candidates at the field
but they offered little Instructions
preferring to let the men take it easy
for the first few days. Only light
workouts will be scheduled for the
balance of the week, after which the
coaches will sort out the material in
an effort to find eight players worthy
of varsity berths.
Only three letter men of last years
