ALOHA week IN
HAWAII will BE
OBSERVED SOON

Believing that Hawaii's brotherly
spirit of aloha is now needed more
than ever throughout the world,
the many nationalities that make
up Hawaii are redoubling their ef-
forts to make this years Aloha
Week celebration the greatest in
it's four-year history.
Aloha Week, an annual festival
intended to recreate the rich lore
of the islands with uncompromising
authenticity, will be held from Oct
ober % to 30, according to Pan
American World Always, which an
nually flies thousands of pleasure
seekers to the Islands. Although a
central committee manages the cell
ebration, there is hardly a person
on any Of Hawaii's principal islands
that. does not take some part in it,
if only to purchase gay ribbon
identifying the wearer as an Aloha
Week member
The spirit of the week is all
encompassing. Residents in every
walk of life sport their most color
full garments, notably the bright
aloha shirt and the equally vivid
muumuu or Hawaiian Mother Hub
bard Set against background OF

Ship. Shank, Shutter
Club Makes Plans
For Saturday Trip

A large group of the Shank,
Ship and Shutter" club is expected
to make the trip Saturday morn
ing under the leadership of Ed
Peyton. They will leave in taxis
Saturday morning at eight O'Clock
for Thane, and will then hike to
Camp Six where they will make
their headquarters. The hike is
not difficult one, and Mr.. Peyton
plans to take the group on some
leisurely explorations to Mt. Haw-
thorne. Those who wish to do SO
may stay over night in Camp Six
where hunks are available for a
limited number. The men are
urged to bring sleeping bags.
Hikers will bring only one lunch.
Mr.. Peyton is providing the food
for the other meals, with the group
paying the cost. This will be prob
ably one of the most enjoyable
hikes of the year, both because it
will not be too difficult and because
of the scenery and views that will
be possible. Reservations must be
made by calling Caroline Hcff,
phone 874, in order that prepar-
ations may be made. The trip Will
be made regardless of the weather.

break in their two games with the
Tribe The young outfielder slam
med home run in each game. His
circuit clout yesterday came with
the bases loaded. The Tigers didn't
need any more to defeat Bob Lemon
and the Indians, Al.
Since the western rivals must face
each other seven more times this
season, the indians may have more
reminders of their blunder of 1916.
That was the year Cleveland let
Groth slip away
Groth's grand slammer was all Art
Houtteman needed to gain his 18th
victory, although he faltered in the
seventh when he walked the first
two batters to face him. Marlin
Stuart took over.
The New York Yankees split a
doubleheader with Washington to
move two percentage points in front
of Cleveland in their race for sec
ond place. Washington won the
opener, 1915. The Yankees took the
second, 90.
Boston's Red Sox moved within
seven games of the top, taking two
from the Philadelphia Athletics, 8-3
and ga.
PhilIies Win Over Boston
Philadelphia increased its Ma
tional League lead over Boston to
six games, defeating the Braves, 81.
Brooklyn climbed to within three
percentage points of Boston with
a 10 triumph over the New York
Giants. Chicago's Cubs tailed twice
in the eighth inning to dump the
st. Louis Cards, 80. Pittsburgh rail-
lied for six runs in the ninth to
match Cincinnatis total in the top
of the inning and outscored the
Reds, 1919. Ralph Kiner dubbed his
33rd homer for the BUGS.
Curt Simmons won his 18th game
for Philadelphia, with the help OF
Jim Konstanty in the eighth. 1t was
the 53rd relief appearance for the
Phillies' fireman.
The Red Sox double, victory was
dimmed by an accident to Walt
Dropo, their sensational rookie first
baseman Dropo suffered cerebral
conclusion when "beaned" by Hank
Wyse in the first game. X-rays
showed no fracture. He is expected
back in the lineup within few
days.
The Chicago White Sox and st
Louis Browns were not scheduled.

he will be ready to resume work

Tom Powers. This was the longest
homerun knocked by batter
swinging from the port side. The

field and with one bounce hit tie
swimming pool fence with a bang.
The second homerun was raped
out by right fielder Chuck Knipplc
who also swings from the port side.
His blast landed between the lett

him plenty of time to round the
bases.
Battery for the Criers were Pow

the All-Stars Mueller, catcher and
Jacobs, pitcher.

now tagging six and half games

After the B-29s delivered their

The American tank knocked out
