tory Record Would Be Established in Run - George H.
Wears Favors Pan-SM Men Relay, 81 Mile Run to Crater

a handsome cup could be secured as
a prize, according to Wears. and he
was of the opinion that the business
men on the Big Island would give
their heartiest support to such an
event.
Local athletes have taken an inter.
est in long distance running and
would gladly train for such an event.
It would be a race that would require
endurance as well as speed, and the
first runner to reach the Volcano
would be given a royal welcome by
the followers of athletics in Hawaii.
During the regatta in Hilo the plan
was discussed on q number Of occa-
sions, and all favored the staging of
such an event each year. Whether 1t
would be held In September, October
or during the holidays is question.
With the date once set, athletes from
all OF the islands would begin to pre-
pare for the first run from the ocean
to the Volcano. 4 message from Nep-

Prospects are bright for the staging
Of one Of the most unique events in
the history Of sport in Hawaii. Mem
bers Of the Board OF Trade Of Hilo are
considering a plan to stage a Volcano
marathon from HiIo to the Volcano
As planned the run would be made
In SIX relays Of about five miles each,
and would be the only race Of its kind
IN the world. Never before in the
history OF sport has an event been
staged from an ocean TO a living vol
cano. The advertising value OF the
race alone Is worth much to the Big
Island, according TO the leading boost.
ers OF Hilo who have discussed the
plan.
From All Islands
Teams Of six men each would be
asked to come to Hawaii from Oahu,
Kauai and Maui. Each plantation on
Hawaii would be asked to enter q
team, and the various athletic clubs
and schools OF Hilo would be repre-
scented. SC. Louis, Mills, Mckinley,
punahou and Kamehameha would be
eligible to send representatives, and
the various independent organizations
IN the city would without doubt be
asked 70 send one team. 4,
The first race would establish .
record for the course, and this record
would be placed In all Of the record
books throughout the mainland.
Staging this as an annual event
would bring the athletes Of the yari.
Gus Islands together. Kauai and Maui
have no boat clubs. but without q
doubt would be able to round up at
least ~ long distance runners. Oahu
would be certain to send a number OF
teams under the right arrangement.
In discussion with one OF the
leading boosters OF the islands, he
said that there was great possibilities
IN such race, and believed that It
should become an annual feature. In
such race Kauai and Maui would
have an excellent chance to carry off
the honors, whereas in rowing they
have no opportunity.

The Chinese team of the Honolulu
League has a. young southpaw in All
Kee Chang. He is only seventeen
years old and measures five feet seven
in height. Kim Luke certainly has a
string of good pitchers to depend on
this season. Luck zee and Hoon XII
are the other two moundsmen.
"The All-Kauai team has never been

famous phrase of the pill tossers Of

team are batting over the 800 mark

it, Harry?

working Of the garden has been done,
it is about as easy to raise two or
three crops as to keep the garden
clean of weeds to produce only one
picking. The specialists advise
those who are not used to gardening
to hire a laborer to do the heavy. pre-
liminary spading or breaking up Of
the soil. This heavy work frequent
ly disgusts novices and children who
would continue to take an interest in
the garden if their task was simply to
fine and cultivate soil already broken
up.
The following amounts Of seed the
garden specialists Of the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture say are need
ed to plant approximately 100 feet of
row, or enough to supply vegetables
for a family Of four:
Snap beans, pint; pole lima beans,
IL pint: bush lima beans, 1-2 to 1
pint; early cabbage, IL ounce; car
rot, 1 ounce; caulifower, / packet;
celery, 1 packet; cucumber, 1-2 ounce;
eggplant, 1 packet; kale, or Swiss
chard, IL ounce; parsley, packet;
parsnips. IL ounce; satisfy, 1 ounce;
squash, summer, IL ounce; squash,
Hubbard type, IL ounce,
The following vegetables, the spe-
cialists say, will undoubtedly be plant
ed in larger amounts than those Just
mentioned, and the amounts of seed
given will be a guide for ordinary
requirements. Some families NAV
need more of the various vegetables
and others would need less:
Beet, ounces; cabbage, 1-2 ounce
to 1 ounce; sweet corn, / pint; lettuce
1 ounce; muskmelon, 1 ounce; onion
sets, quarts; garden peas, 2 to
quarts; radish, 1 to 2 ounces; spinach,

fall; late tomatoes, IA ounce; tur-
nips. IA pound; watermelon, 1 ounce.

Washington, D. c., March 24.-Veg-

soon as the weather and condition of
the soil make planting possible. Be
fore ordering seed the home gardener
would do we'll to look over his gar
den plot, decide on the best location
for each vegetable, and determine
how much seed he will require for the
space available for each variety.
He will find it helpful to make a
rough plan of his garden on a large
sheet of, wrapping paper. On this
plan he can indicate the spaces to be
used for each variety and also by
means of colored pencils or symbols
show where a second crop is to be
planted or interplanted between grow
ing rows, and also arrange for the
second and third crops which are to
follow those previously harvested.
Such plan will enable him to keep
the garden busy all season supplying
fresh vegetables during the summer

but successive paintings two to three
weeks apart will be made so as to have
a fresh supply throughout the sea-

OF early Irish potatoes 1 peck to IL

potatoes 1-2 bushel to 1 bushel, or
more, depending upon the amount of
ground available for this purpose. If
possible, enough Irish potatoes
should be grown to last throughout
the winter.
In the event that the family wish
