choice was made, as the record made

noon, July z, on the Mauna Loa. The
boat steamed out the harbor at $50
and by 7:15 We had dinner on board.
Not a single man on the team was
found outside of the dining room as
we were all good sailors. After the
dinner was over We sat on deck and
had a jolly good time telling stories
and cracking jokes. The sea was
smooth until we reached the chan
mel. None Of US were very sick, but
we jumped in our beds in order q
have a good rest. 1t was 10:30 when
we were crossing the channel and by
O'Clock in the morning most Of the
boys were up ready to land. At $3.50

and we were given first class rooms.
We all took shower baths and remain

Beside the hotel was the sheriff 8
home and in the front. yard was q
large mango tree. Tsune Iwanaga
was the first one to notice the ripe
juicy fruit and began picking 'em off
the tree. In the meantime q number
of the other boys were also eating the
sweet ones. Naturally, Kauai being a
Garden Island the people there are
always free with their home products,
When the boys left the hotel the big
mango tree was almost bare with
fruits. -.
Visits Field at 6 o'clock
A majority Of the boys took q walk
to the Lihue baseball field at 6 o'clock.
We found the field very satisfactory,
and then we journeyed to the LiIiue
store, known as Kauai's Emporium.
It is certainly an emporium of the
Garden Isle. We visited the interior
of the store and the people were gen.
erous In greeting US. w went back
to the hotel and had breakfast. At 8
o'clock we went out to practise for
two hours. After the workout we
were excused by. Billy Miles for the

a sightseeing trip. The boys spent
the evening around Lihue and by 10
o'clock every one was back at the no

A Real Fourth
The people in Lihue had: a Red
Cross tag day on the Fourth. Every
person was seen with a tag bearing
the Red Cross. At 9 the field was
packed with excited fans and fam
nettes ready to see the Students in
action. The crowd was estimated at
5000, with 300 automobiles circling the
field. We were at the field on time
and warmed up a little. After warm
ing up we played shadow ball and
the crowd greeted US with cheers
while the autos footed their horns.
The people were still coming to the
park when the game was nearly over.
We noticed that the P. A. G. team was
made up Of oldtimers, but we beat
them just the same The score was
6 to in our favor. After the first
game was over we went back to the
hotel and a special luncheon was
given to the baseball tossers. The
All-Kauai team also had lunch with
the Students. At o'clock there was
a patriotic meeting at the Tip Top
The house was packed and
q fine program was rendered by the
Y. NJ. C. A, workers Of Kauai. We
were ready for the afternoon battle
with the All-Kauai nine at $3.50. This
time we found that the park was
filled with more than 5000 people and
the band was playing popular airs.
This game was q ragged one for the
Students, a. We seemed to- lack ginger
and pep, while the home team took Us
into their cane fields by a score Of
6 to 5.
