HAWAIIAN TRIAL

Midnight, Waiting Court

News Service)

HONOLULU, T. H., April
15.-They take the Fortescue-
Massie trial seriously in this
paradise Island.
1t has all the spectacular
outward interest Of a baseball
world series on the mainland,
but beneath the surface is a
tense, serious interest in a
case that has become a polit-
ical symbol in Hawaii.
The trial is playing to sell-out
audiences daily. The admission
line in front Of the rambling,
two-story stone Hall of the
Chiefs" where the show begins
every morning at 9 o'clock, starts
forming an hour before midnight.
Recruits are added throughout
the night.
A Strange Symbol
Occupying a position of prom
inence in the palm shaded square
in front of the building is
statue of King Kamehameha the
Great. He Is a dusky warrior in
helmet. with an intricate
mamo or feather cape of beaten
gold flung carelessly about his
massive shoulders.
The mighty king clutches a
spear in his left hand and his
right hand is outstretched to
welcome the white man.
Almost every night by mid
night two women appear in the
shadow of the statue cast by
the luminous tropical moon.
They are armed with bottles Of
coffee and carry camp chairs.
They are Mrs. Anne Kluegel,
and her friend, Mrs. Walter A.
Wall, civic leaders in the fight
that brought territorial legisla-
ton against vice conditions on
the islands.
Hold Places for Officers
Soon six sturdy young men,
grinning cheerfully, take their
places in line. Someone whispers
that they are sailors, clad in
civilian clothes, holding places
for officers and their wives from
the Pearl Harbor naval yard.
BY 8 o'clock in the morning,
the crowd has grown to 75-al.
most the capacity Of the tiny
courtroom. Three dusky-Skinned
policemen bar the portals of the
old building.
"G'wan across the street." they
bruskly inform late comers. who
drift slowly across the driveway
under swaying palm trees.
Some of the would-be specta-
tors to the trial carry pillows
and doze wearily. With the
weather warm and balmy, it is no
hardship to remain out of doors
throughout the night, and the
native sons Of Hawaii by birth
and adoption do not mind.
With the first streak Of dawn,
out comes the coffee bottles and
the sandwiches-breakfast time.
Many Hawaiian women bring
poi-a native dish. The crowd
is good-natured and orderly, shar-
ing its food generously.
At 8 o'clock the doors of the
courtroom are thrown open, and
there is a wild scramble for
seats in the first row behind the
railing.
At 9 o'clock Judge Charles S.
Davis, a chunky figure dressed in
a business suit of soft mauve
striped pongee, opens the doors
from his chambers.

First Basemen
Rarely Become
Good Managers
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

OHItcu ITcSS OldII OOTECopOAuChb
NEW YORK, Sept. Is. - First
basemen are rare as major league
managers, but three of the latest
players to be promoted to the helm
have spent most of their playing
days around the initial sack while
fourth has played first base
in three of his IL years in the big
show.
The two latest managerial ap-
pointees are Charley Grimm of
the Chicago Cubs and Bill Terry
of the New York Giants, both reg
ular first basemen for their teams.
The other manager appointed
since the 1882 season opened was
Marty McManus, who succeeded
John Collins as leader of the Bos-
ton Red Sox. McManus has spent
most of his career at second or
third base, but he played first
base on occasions for the Browns
and Tigers before he was traded
to the Red Sox.
OF the three new managers who
started the 1882 season, one-Lew
Fonseca of the Chicago White
Sox was a first baseman by
| trade.
Frank Chance, who piloted the
Chicago Cubs to four pennants in
the eight years he handled the
team, was the most successful OF
all first basemen who became
managers. Chance, however, was
a failure when he shifted to the
American League, and handled
three teams, the Yankees, White
SoX and Red Sox, without success
Sisler Failure
George Sisler, one of the great
est first basemen of all time, tried
his hand at managing the St
Louis Browns and made. great
bid for the pennant one year only
to wind up failure.
Hal Chase, another immortal
first-sacked, managed the Yankees
in 1911 and part of the 1910 sea-
son, but he proved poor leader.
History proves that catchers
make the best managers. Five OF
the present 16 major league man.
ayers were catchers during their
playing days.
The position from which each
manager graduated follows:
Catcher-Connie Mack, Athle-
tics; Gabby Street, Cardinals; Bill
Xii ifer, Browns; George Gibson
Pirates; Dan Howley, Reds.
Pitcher-Walter Johnson, Sen
ators.
First base-Lew Fonseca, White
Sox; Bill Terry, Giants; Charley
Grimm, Cubs.
Second base-Stanley Harris, Tt
gers; Joe Mccarthy, Yankees, and
