BASEBALL
The incessant rains we have had
for the past two weeks or so again
put crimp into the schedule of the
Hawaiian league on Sunday.
The Allies and Pacifics started the
first game with old Sol nowhere in
sight and managed to barely squeeze
through five innings when old Jupiter
Pluvius ended all proceedings for the
day Incidentally, the Pacifics won
the first game of the second series by
the score of Al and for the first time
since the season started. managed to
trim the Allies. The Pacifics some.
how seem to be the favorites of Jup
tier Pluvius, as this is the second
game that has stopped after five in
nings with the Pacifics leading, the
first victims being the Farmers in the
first series. Perhaps its because
they are named after the Pacific
Ocean.
Next Sunday, weather permitting,
the Libertys will meet their bitter
rivals, the Allies, and the Pacifics
will engage the Farmers.
The championship of the first SER
les has not yet been decided, as the
Allies and Libertys are tied for first
place, and a postponed game between
the two teams will be played off at
the first available opportunity, TO
settle the issue.

fore minister at Kealia on Sunday
Mr.. ]. c. e. Taber has secured the
Ahoon residence as a temporary home,
the Ahoon family having moved to
Kealia some time ago.
Kan YIN Chun, captain and catcher
of the All Chinese team, champions
of Honolulu, and considered by many
critics to be the best receiver in the
islands today, was in Kapaa last week
for a short vacation. He was accom-
panied by S. X. Au, a co-wcrker with
him at the California Packing Cor
poration, Honolulu.
That many homesteaders as we'll as
others in Kawaihau have had a pros
porous year, is evidenced by the num-
ber of city homes" being already
completed or nearing completion. ].
Veveiros and j Silva are already liv-
ing in new and spacious homes. w.
Ebinger and A. Texeira will soon have
theirs finished, and others are being
contemplated.
The ouija board made its first
appearance here last week, but if any
body had faith in it before from here.
say they mast have been rudely
shocked, as three out of the four
baseball games turned out contrary to
to its wishes. Perhaps the medium"
predictions in regard to, Sundays
did not have her controls in good
working order, but we are inclined
to believe that only having two guess
es, she guessed wrong in every in
stance.
Waialua homesteadtrs report that
they are having too much rain and
not enough sunshine for their young
cane. Besides, the rain has caused
other hardships. AS emphasized in
an editorial in the Garden Island last
week, good roads are absolutely vital
to the homesteader, but the frequent
and heavy rains have made the roads
almost impossible in many sections,
and only by using chains, and going
at snails pace so TO speak, can the
cars come to Kapaa. At best even
without any rain, the roads al Wal |
lua are in a deplorable condition, and |
some speedy remedy should be found |
to persuade those in authority to put
he roads in better condition in order
to enable the homesteaders to get
their supplies and other necessities
without having to go through sea of
mud whenever it rains, thereby less
ening to a great extent their chances
of succtss in the end by increasing
their costs for everything they use.
