To quote one of the devil dogs, "the
Marine. Corps camp at Quantico, Va,

Although Quantico has q huge GYM
nasium, every bunkhouse and COM
pany street is a temporary gym when
the marines are not busy drilling
or taking other war training.
While base ball. boxing anad wres-
Ting hold big place In the activities,
basket ball seems to have gained the
upper hand. Thirty quints are now
in the field. Even the referees have
organized q team. o..
Four basket bill leagues were
originally formed, the -U." 49," M
and &C." but since their organization
several lesser circuits have sprung
into existence. owing to the demands
to "get into the game" The boys
are busy. from early morning until
late in the evening on the courts. The
season will run until late next month.
About thirty league games are played
each week and there are countless
other contests.
That boxing 10 q popular sport is
emphasized hy the fact that the ath-
letic oficer buys from Is to 100 pairs
Of Kioves each week. - -
There are many former college
stars playing on the basket ball and
base bail teams, and a. Number Of pro-
fessional boxers and wrestlers OF note
are in camp. However. competition
is not confined to q select few" as

OF drying out the fairway near the

MAUI DUMPING GROUND
FOR MORAL DERELIcTs2

Some time ago, SAYS Judge Quinn,
a number of women were charged in
the Fourth Circuit Court. Upon a
question to the county attorney as to
whether he desired suspended SEN
fences or other action, the women in
a chorus spoke up and said they were
then under suspended sentences from
Judge Ashford in Honolulu, which had
two months yet to run, and for that
reason they could not, as they willing
ly would, go back to Honolulu. How
ever, says the judge, every one of
them took boat and went to Maui.
Although little noise is made about
it, the judge says that local police
methods are not such as to encour-
age loose women to look upon Hilo
as a haven of refuge. AS long as
those tactics continue, he believes

WHAT TEAM WORK HAS ACCOMPLISHED

Even to most Maui people it will doubtless be a surprise to learn
that the fair grounds and buildings at Kahuui already represent an
investment of $4,000 or more and that there is still a good deal more
to be done before the work is completed. But it is gratifying to learn
also that from all indications this big expenditure is amply justified.
OF course the figures given by the executive committee represent
simply money. 1t does not express the tremendous amount of hard
work, thought and enthusiasm that has been poured without stint into
the enterprise by many Maui citizens working as one man.
The Maui County Fair & Racing Association is making come true
the dreams that brought it into being three years age. 1t is the biggest
thing for Maui that has ever happened. What has been accomplished
has been through a thoroughly united Maui. The experience has surely
been good for us all If we can continue as we have started there is
little we should not aspire to. The future is mighty bright.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-10-31
WHY NOT AQUATIC SPORTS?

Hno has a yacht club of over 800 members, and a contract is soon
to be let for the construction of a club house to cost some $4,000.
This calls to mind the fact that Maui, at the present time, is lacking
in any kind of organized aquatic sports. We used to have some rowing
teams but conditions were never very favorable and they died. Now
with the completion of the new west breakwater at Kahului the situa-
ton is greatly changed.
1t ought to be feasible now to have all kinds of water sports here
under the best of conditions. Boat landings, and possibly a boat house
might be built just inside the west breakwater which would be accessi-
bic and at the same time well out of the way of harbor traffic.
Yachting, scuing, swimming and sport fishing re all recreatons
which would add much to Maui activities and bring us into still closer
touch with the rest ot the territory. The idea is at least worth con-
sdering.
