Mack's pets / knew he had a great
ball club and one which would make
us keep on our toes and hustling all
the time. ! haven't moderated the
Athletics. And I'm sure l haven't
overrated the world champions. / am
more confident than ever that we will
beat Philadelphia.
The season has more than two
months to run and / think a club such
as Washington has will stand the
grueling pace better than the Mack
men. The Athletics have courage, as
they showed by coming back so strong
after we knocked them into second
place by handing them such a sound
trouncing. They are young, always
hustling and have a world of en-
thuSiaSm.
But Washington is a fighting club,
too, one of the best in the history of
the game. We also are hustIing all
the time. We haven't as young a
club as Mack and it is because of this
that l think we have the stronger
outfit. The Washington players are
seasoned and cool veterans.
Experience Asset to Griffs.
They can be depended upon to make
few mistakes and also to profit in
stantly by any mistakes made by an
opponent. They have been through
the mill, tried and found true. They
can be counted on to play steady and
winning ball right down to the end of
the season. Their experience has
fitted them for a tight race.
That is what it now appears the
American League struggle will be.
Washington's coming home stay,
while the Athletics also are on their
home grounds. may not change the
aspect Of the race greatly. But if
there is any marked shift l am con-
fident it will favor the champions. L
am sure September. If not an earlier
date, will see us with a comfortable
lead over the Athletics. When we
reach the stretch in front we will
stay there until the end of the season.

Snow was falling as we left Shang-

Fugiyama in Japan covered with
white frozen water. We passed thru

our "Samar Inland Sea" is so small

its cities and towns along the shores.
At Kobe the sun was shining tho the

covered with snow. From the latter
city l rode to Toxic on the electric
train. The capital city seems to have
recovered from the effects of the
great earthquake, but the port of
Yokohama is only poorly rebuilt,
little low houses of wood; there are
many ruins which have not yet been
cleared away and the streets are
awful, the mud and snow making
hard work for the ricksha men. While
we were in Japan the parliament was
discussing the suffrage bill and there
were street riots in Toxic; the bill
finally passed giving all men thirty

MR.. CHARLES E. HOYE
VISITS HIS HOMELAND
In a Letter to a Friend in the
Philippines He Gives an
Interesting Account of
His Travels.

The Republican is permitted to pub
lish the following letter, it being a
copy of one sent a friend in the Phil
ippines by Mr.. Charles E. Hoye, for
merly of Garrett county, whose first
visit to the Islands was made with
the American forces in 1898, during
the Spanish-American War. After
the close of the war Mr.. Hoye re-
mained in the Philippines as teach
er in the public schools, later being
elevated to the position of superinten-
dent of a district as large as the
State of Maryland.
Mr.. Hoye's letter reads as follows:
Perhaps you would like to hear of
my trip from Manila to California
and something of the wonderful city
of Los Angeles, where | am spending
part of my vacation.
Well, l sailed on the big American
ship "President Cleveland" on Feb.
10 and arrived in San Francisco eX-
actly one month later. The "Cleve-
land" is one of the finest passenger
ships; it can carry $50 first class pas
sengers and 1000 third class.
Cost of tickets from Manila to San
Francisco is 1st, $3.50, steerage about
$3.50. There were 600 Filipinos on
board on their way to work on the
sugar plantations in Hawaii. We had
a good Filipino orchestra. One Fill
pino laborer died of pneumonia and
was buried at sea. A Chinese baby
was born on the voyage.
We had plenty of time at Hong
kong to visit that busy free port, and
it was here l heard Sir Henry Lauder
sing; he is a wonderful Scotch singer
whose songs are repeated by the
phonograph records all over the
world.
While at Shanghai l visited the
American school which my son atten-
ded last year; this school has fine
new grounds and buildings. | was
interested to visit the ancient ChlneSe
city with it's stone wall and little
stores, and to compare it with the

the towns and barrios of Samar be
isolated and lonely when you put in
yopr radio sending stations and little
receiving sets. Some day in Catbalo-
gan will hear the music of our Los
Angeles theatres and churches! Then
your people will realize even more
than now how near akin we are.
More cinema picture films are made
in Los Angeles than anywhere else,
and of course we have hundreds of
cinema theatres and see the latest
pictures. One of the best | saw was
"The Goose Hangs High" the story
of parents sacrifices eto keep their
children in school. | wish all our Sa-
mar High School students could see
it.
We have also seen some fine spoken

actress, Petrova, appeared as leading
lady. We enjoyed seeing Madame
Pavlowa, the famous Russian dancer
and her wonderful ballet. Pavlowa
danced in Manila a few years ago.
might write you much about Cal
ifornia schools. People spend immense
sums on education. l have not seen a
poor school house in this State. In
Samar you cannot have the fine
schools for all the people, which the
people have here, until you produce
more coconuts, abaca and rice; so
your faces should be toward the ris-
ing sun and your minds set toward
progress in industry and education.
Los Angeles has the Junior High
School plan, eg., grades l to are
elementary, 7 to 9 junior and 10 to
II senior high. know your School
Survey is studying the advisability of
this system for the Philippines. This
would be good for Samar, shorten
ing the elementary course and enab-
ling such towns as Borogan and Lao
ang to have Junior High Schools as
soon as they provide the buildings.
However we should remember that
elementary school facilities should be
provided for all children before high
schools in the towns are established,
and San Antonio is the only munich
pality in Samar which has school
buildings for all its elementary school
children.
The teachers of Samar will be in
rested to know that Mrs. Hoye and
l visited Mr.. Graham, former Div.
Supt., and his wife. They have
nice home here and Mr.. Graham has
a good position in the city schools;
his mind and heart are still full of
Samar, and he asked me many ques-
tions about the people and schools.
l am enjoying my vacation here
and am planning a visit to my old
home in the East. Mrs. Hoye expects
to continue her university course at
the summer school. hope the Samar
teachers have a vacation school this
year, DR.. Bervley told me it could be
opened.
My son Will, who took his first
year high school in Catbalogan, will
graduate this June.

us, especially the mat with map of
