 HITS MADE

He still is far in the lead of all his competitors in batting averages with a total of ASA. Iris Speaker, captain and manager of the Cleveland Indians, with .3S7 is runner up, having forged ahead considerably the past seven days. Harry Heilman, the Detroit slugger with an average of 1882 is holding down third place. Sisler is also the leading base stealer, having twenty-six stolen bags to his credit So far this year he has scored fifty eight runs and made 112 safe hits.

HONOLULU, June 26.-Talk of war between, the United States and Japan is secuted by Kei- chi Yama- saki, consul general for Japan at Honolulu, in his first public state ment made since his arrival in Hono- lulu.
 Consul General Yamasaki asserts that neither the United States nor his own country can afford to go to war and, furthermore, that the con- mercial interests of the two coun- tries, instead of being opposed, are interlocking and should tend to bind Japan and America together.
 Commenting upon the labor trou- bles between American employers and Japanese employees in Hawaii, Yama- saki stated that his observations thus far lead him to believe that all serious difficulties are now past and between capital and labor a future free from labor troubles may be looked forward to by the sugar plan tations of Hawaii
 Becaus of his recent sojourn at Shanghai where he was consular rep resentative for the Japanese govern ment, Yamasaki was questioned as to probable developments in China. These, he said, are, in his opinion, likely to be most unsatisfactory for Sen government, with headquarters at Canton, has small hopes of sue cess in it's attempt to unite China under one government, and it will

CALIFORNIA SPRINTER
 AFTER NEW RECORDS

SANTA BARBARA, June 26. - Charles w. Paddock, the sprinting marvel, wearing the colors of the Uni versity of Southern California, pr',. ent title holder of the sprint events, will compete in the Athletic Carnival to be held in this city on July Fourth Paddock is in training for the events and hopes to be able to lower the ex- isting records for all the sprint dis tances beginning with the fifty yard run to one hundred and seventy-five yards. He said he was in the pink of condition and feeling that he could run the race of his career.

in all probability be many years be- fore China recognizes her own weak nesses sufficiently to take effective steps to remedy them, Yamasaki be- lieves.
 In connection with his discussion of China, the Japanese consul-gen- eral took occasion to state that Japan will never consider interven- ing in China to restore order or to attempt to set up a stable form of government. The only possibility of Japanese intervention in China, Va masaki states, would be for protec- tiOn of Japanese lives or property in the event of an outbreak similar to the Boxer uprising.
 Statements reported to have been made by Koreans and Korean sym pathizers accusing the Japanese gov ernment of practicing atrocities in Korea were refuted in toto by Yamasaki, who stated that the Ko- reans had been and were being given every opportunity to have a voice in governing their country. Hard feeling between the two nations has been fOstered by ill-advised Korean hot heads, Yamasaki believes, and the assassination of several Japanese of ficials in Korea as a means of secur- ing revenge for fancied wrongs has kept hatred aflame between the two people and prevented the establish ment of a satisfactory Korean gov ernment administered by Koreans. Evacuation of Korea by Japan is not looked for by Yamasaki

Scout Minstrels
Promise Splendid
Entertainment

daliOWell people are looking for
ward to an evening of plre pleasure
at the Scout Ministries this evening.
This is the fifth annual appearance
Of a minstrel show under the expert
coaching and direction of Principal
Oscar w. Bigelow of Maria Clark
Grammar school.
Excellent as previous productions
have been, this should surpass them.
1t is entirely original in general out
line and consists really of two COM
plete minstrel shows.
Part /, 1912, shows the boys of that
period in songs that were then the
vogue. 1t is in itself a complete min
strel show with end men. circle and
interluctor. The interluctor, Master
Doyle Vote, will be certainly the
youngest to appear in New England
in similar capacity. The right end
men will be Stephano Campana,
Oliver Beaudoin. and Annie Vgue.
The left endmen will be Carl Getch-
ell, James Hayes and Edgar Steele.
An innovation will be guards for the
interluctor. Right guard will be Lin
wood Littlefield; left guard, Robert
Dawes, better known as "Lollipop"
Sarah Fuller and Juliette Beaudoin
have an attractive duet and Ruth
Johnson and Evonne Beaudoin,
solos.
Between part + and part II. small
Joie Holbrook will sing. That alone
would almost pay one to come to
hear. Then the Savage sisters of
Augusta. Miss Sidney. 10. and Miss
Lenore, 10, the fame of whose dane
ing has gone beyond the State. will
give some Of their graceful solos and
duets.
Part II, in 1922. ten years later,
and apparently. as far as the aud
fence ds concerned, the same boys ten
years older. Arland Smith will be
interluctor. His right guard will be
John Lister. his left guard, Clarence
Nelson. The right endmen will be
Harry Gallagher, Harry Cahoon,
Charles Hippler: the left end men,
Melvin Herbert Head. Charles Webb,
and Lawrence Woodside. Audrey
Snare will be soloist. Mary CALI, who
was to have taken part, and who had
in addition to her song a delightful
dance, will be unable to appear be-
cause of sprained ankle. The second
circle will consist of Irene Densmore,
Dorothy Smith, and Margaret
Graves.
At the end Of part II, the younger
performers Of part I enter and stand
in front of the older performers,
making a dramatic finale. Miss Ca
Uterine Woodside will be at the
piano. Douglass six piece orchestra
will furnish music. A dance follows.
The program is an excellent one and
the young people are sure to do
themselves and their director, Mr..
Bigelow, full credit.
