Y. N. 6. A. MAN
FOR MAKAWEL|

The growth and Importance of
the work being conducted by the
Yong Mems Christian AssOcia-
ton on Kauai is indicated by the
arrival this week of another secre-
tary. Mr.. f. l.. DamkrOger, for
work on the plantation of the
Hawaiian Sugar Company at
Ma,iaweli. Mr.. Damkroger is a
valuable addition to the present
secretarial force on Kauai, not
only because of his personal quail
flea tons, but because of the OPP
portunity he will have at Maka-
well for intensive application of
Y. NJ. c. A. principles and meth
ods to work on a single planta
ton.
Mr.. Damgroger is a native son
of Minnesota but has lived for
the past several years in CalifOr-
mia. He is a graduate of Santa
Cruz high school and of the Y. NJ.
G. A. Training College at Spring
field, Massachusetts. He has had
several years experience in work
with Boys Clubs. Boy Scouts, and
Young mems Bible classes. When
war was declared in April, 1917,
Mr.. Damkroger enlisted the same
month and was Immediately com
missiOned a second lieutenant in
the 361 Cal. Inf. as athletic officer
for his regiment. In this capacity
he had charge of various athletic
events for the entire Dist Division,
notably football, basket ball,
track and boxing. On June %,
1913 he was sent with his division
to France and was transferred to
the department of Headquarters
as personal property officer. He
spent nine months over seas re-
turning April last. In France as
in this country, he had valuable
experience supervising athletics
for soldiers and was especially
successful in the report of boxing.
Mr.. Damkroger brings with
him charming wife and infant
son. They will make their home
at Makaweli.
The Sunday Evening club was
addressed last Sunday evening by
Mr.. Killam, Territorial Secretary
who is spending a few days on
Kauai. Mr.. Killam was well re-
ceived as usual by the club and
left some wholesome counsel.
Next Sunday evening Mr.. Dam
krOger is to speak. Every young
man i'm Lihue should be out to
hear him relate his war expert
ences on this occasion as well as
to make one more new friend.

BASEBALL FANS
SEE GOOD BALL

Lihue is still undefeated, har-
ing taken their first game of the
second series from Makaweli at
Lihue last Sunday. The fans are
still wondering how it happened,
because Makaweli ut-played her
opponent at every stage of the
game. They did better fielding
and better batting. But Lihue
played in her usual luck and
nosed out the winning run in the
last half of the ninth.
Makaweli played good ball, and
started off by anneXing one run
in the first inning. Lihue, al
though getting two hits in the
third, was not able to score until
the fourth, when they put one
man across.
Makaweli started the fifth by
scoring two runs, and things be-
gan to look rather black for Ii
hue as they were unable to over
come this lead in their half of the
inning. But by taking NJ. Per-
reira out of the box and substi-
tuting Bob Okuda, they handed
Makawcli a goose egg in the first
half of the sixth, and came back
with Il batting streak in their
half that netted them three runs.
Lihue was now one run to the
good, and the home fans began to
buck up and take notice. Their
JOY was short lived, however. as
Makaweli tied the score again by
squeezing in another run in the
seventh. Lihue tried hard, but
The last half of the ninth came
and the score VS. still four all.
In the last half nine went to do
or die. They started out by put
ting in John Malina as pinch hit
ter. Like the famous Casey, the
mighty John determined to clout
out one of his old time home runs,
took a mighty Swipe at the ball
and missed. However. in the third
try he knocked II high bounder to
short, but was thrown out at first.
+. Fernandez, the next man up.
got Il pass, StOled second and
and third, and was brought home
by Il hit to short by NJ. Perreira.
Lihue was Out-felded and out
batted throughout the game. but
she won by her superior team
work, which, after all, is the thing
that counts in baseball.
The kalaheo-Makee game at
kapaa, was decided in favor of
the former. The Kapaas were
very weak at batting, while the
kalaheo huskies fell on to Wood
and knocked him out of the box.
Score G-3.
The McBryde-KOlOa game at
Eleele. went to McBryde, 81.
Next Sundays games are: Ka-
laheO VS.. Lihue at Lihue; Makee
VS.. KolOa at KolOa; McBryde VS..
Makaweli at Makaweli.

The Episcopal Church in America has
undertaken the task OF changing the

This has been announced by the man

that the church is conducting. With
he announcement was furnished the
explanation that a "clerk-church' IS
9ne that cannot do more Than pay It's
own bills. An "employer-church' is
one that has working capital above
IFS own expenses, for participation In
The life OF the community.
Episcopal leaders saY-that the list
shows too many "clerk-churches" at
present. This has been particularly
demonstrated by the survey Of the needs
and opportunities OF Episcopal dioceses
throughout the country, -ow being
made by the executive committee OF
the nationwide campaign. Employer

only for the success OF the campaign
