Baseball Plans for
Fair Take on Shape;
Kauai Team Coming

Baseball plans for the coming Fair
are now taking on a more definite
aspect. The Makes, champion of
Kauai, are a certainty and either the
Braves or Asahis of Honolulu will
represent Oahu. The invitation tx
tended to Hilo has been cancelled,
the Big Island Baseball directors
wanting 100000 guarantee, which
sum is altogether too high in the
opinion of the Baseball Committee of
the Athletic Committee of the NJ. G..
f. & Il. A.
The guarantee offered Hilo was
$4,000 and while they found this
sum insufficient, the Makes who are
coming here from Kauai have accept
ed Maui's invitation at the same
figure as was offered Hilo. Maui, as
is her policy, will likewise house the
visiting teams and furnish auto trans
portation.
The Makee team comes to Maui
with a reputation that is to be en-
We'd. For two years she has been
almost unbeatable taking the champ
ionship on Kauai during this period
and as a reward Kauai sportsmen
have used their influence in making
the coming trip a go. The Chinese
who visited Kauai a few months back
managed to win from the Makes in
a hard fought battle which was any
body's game from the first man up to
the last man out.

SPORTS
Rides, Shows and Fun
viii Make Things Hum
at Fairs Jazz Square

More fun and amusement than ever
before offered at a Maui County Fair
are in store for its patrons this year.,
it is announced by E. X. Fernandez,
chief concessionaire and amusement
purveyor-in-chief who arrived in Maui
Tuesday morning. Fernandez says he
has been fortunate in securing a
higher grade line of attractions than
ever before.
Rides always make a hit with the
crowd, large and small, and the
"merry-go-round' is always sure to
make a hit. This year Fernandez is
bringing owe a new one. He says
that the organ is one that plays slow
music and jazz, has numbers of new
airs and melodies. and the riders can
jazz as they ride to their hearts con-
tent. But that is not all, for the
"merry-go-round" is to have the most
formidable rival it has ever met here
or elsewhere. a Ferris Wheel, the first
time on Maui. Every one has either
seen pictures of or heard about the
Ferris Wheel which lifts one up in
the comfortable cars and Circels them
in a great arc through the air, looking
out over the grounds and the crowds,
and brings them back to solid earth
again.
Several shows are coming also.
"Wreckless Johnson will perform
hair-raising stunts with and on his mo-
t%orcycle. He is said to be the most
finished trick and fancy motorcycle
rider in America. stella is a show
that is %brand-new to Maui, and Fer
nandeZ says it is the one that will
make 'em guess and keep 'em guess.
ing" Then there will be Kaoo's ia
nous Hula Girls, a Filipino show and
a variety show wehre there will be
the latest songs, dances, skits and
turns, including some daring acrobats.
In Jazz Square, where Fernandez is
mayor" there will also be the dane.
ing platform, an open-air affair, with
a dandy floor and plenty of dancing
space. Jack Aliens Jazz Band will
furnish the dance music, and the rep
utation of that musical aggregation is
huff said.
In addition to these, Fernandez says
| says there will be some 80 or more
novelty concessions, and the for
midable array of attractions he offers
indicates he is modest in his promises
of giving amusement seekers Of Maui
the time OF their lives.
The roller skating rink will be an
other of the big attractions, but not
under the management of Fernandez.
A concrete foundation and fine skat-
ing floor has been put in.

Leading Businessmen
of Islands to Ride

Ten of the most prominent bust
nessmen of the Islands are promised
to be the star performers as riders
in a race that is being arranged to
be held at the Fair as one of the
novelties in the horse racing pro
gram. Frank Locey of the racing
committee says it will be one of the
big features of the fair.
The idea started with the suggest
ion of a match race between d. c..
Lindsay and C.. d. Lufkin, both of
whom promptly fell for the idea.
Next it was proposed to make it a
four cornered affair and to match
Jack Walsh and F. p. Rosecrans, who
also kokuaed. 1t is reported that c.
c. Campbell has issued a challenge to
H. b. Penhallow and among others
mentioned are S. S. PaXson and Wal
ter Beall both of Honolulu.
Meantime a spirit of rivalry is be
ing reused and promoted and the com
mittee is sanguine that the event is
to be the biggest success of all the
long and eXcellently arranged card
that is spread through the three days.

Sale of Reserved
Seats for Swimming
Meet Opens Tomorrow

Reserved seats for the swimming
meet which is to be held at Puunene
tank will be placed on sale at the
Maui Sporting Goods Store, Main
near High street. Waikiki, tomorrow
Saturday morning. At that time
seats may be secured for either or
both nights.
For the former swimming meet, the
one held last June, seats were placed
on sale to members of the Maui Coun-
ty Fair and Racing Association first.
This time there is a different arrange
ment. one section is being set aside
for members of the association and
similarly a section is being set aside
for members of the Puunene Athletic
club. Members of the association
and members of the club applying for
seats can secure their allotment from
such sections if they desire or can
purchase in any of the other sections
with the general public. With the
exception Of giving such members an
opportunity to select in the special
section or in any other, there is no
discrimination in their favor.
At the last swimming meet the
best seats went quickly and when
the night Of the races came there
were large numbers of persons who
were unable to secure admission. The
coming meet is far larger, the class
of entries will be much higher and
there is the probability of both Is
land and worlds records being
broken so interest is certain to be
more intense. Early selection OF
seats, then. is highly advisable.

New York has followed the example Of

II is difficult to justify any kind of a
censorship in theory. But experience has
proved that without it pictures will be
shown which tend to corrupt the morals and
degrade the taste Of the Young. The Ger

censorship on moving pictures. but the OK
hibitions became so debascd that it was
necessary 10 compel all films to be submitted

habit of stealing the eggs. The merchant,
who owns an estate on the shore of the lake
began twenty years ago to put a man on
the island in the summer to protect the
nests. and he has kept it up ever since. His
annual advertisement attracts hundreds Of

island for a few months,
The desire of the advertiser 10 protect the

OF 80 many persons TO be the only inhabitant
