LEGION tiAS A FINE
PROGRAM FOR 4TH
Interest in the American Legion's
racing program at Walpoull on Mon
day, July fourth, continues at fever
heat. The Legion la certainly serv
ing up a Juicy morsel for the racing
fans of Kauai this yoar. Wherever
the fans congregate all they can talk
about is the heat in the quarter mile
in which Johnny Fernandez's "Bridge
player" and David Luke's "Pegasus"
will meet. When they have ex
hausted this subject then they have
to discuss the three eighths where
they meet again. Several of the
local sportsmen who are backing
David's little horse in the shorter
sprint are putting their money down
on tho Fernandez horse in the longer
race.
Another race that is also causing
considerable interest is the mile and
' one quarter open. With Sakamoto's
"Dinner Bell" running against his
old stable mate, "Mary J." this is
bound to bo one of the best races of
the day. John Maderlos of Koloa
who now owns "Mary J." expects his
mare to be out in front at the finish
but not without a strenuous battle.
Tho Koloa fans are backing John's
horse -to the limit. Sakamoto's
"Dinner Boll" Is well known on
Kauai and tho local Japanese are be
hind the Kapaa entry. Both horses
are doing strenuous training and bVth
camps aro trying to get a line on
the other horse's time.
Quite a bit of discussion has been
caused in local racing circles by
some unknown young lady who called
up Jim Spalding on the telophono and
asked if there would be any objection
to her Tiding an entry in the Gentle
men's race. Mr.. Spalding told her
that there would be no objection but
that tho Legion would not assume
any responsibility in case of an acci
dent. She informed him that tho
conditions would suit her very well
and she would be at the post on the
Fourth. She declined to give her
name but said she would ride a thor
oughbred mare which she entered
under the name of "Mystery." Jim
says that her voice was Yery familiar
but Just at present he cannot place
It. This late entry has caused re
newed activity among the gentlemen
riders as none of them wished to bo
lo4 at the fintsh by any lady rider.
Local boxing fans are sitting up
and taking notice since the an
nouncement that there would be a
six round bout at the field that day.
Ernest Heine, former lightweight
champion of Oahu, and Maximo de la
Cruz, the local Filipino champion
have volunteered their services to
the Legion and the committee are
putting this event as an, added at
traction. These two boys met at
the last Legion smoker and put up a
rattling four round go. The decis
ion given that night was a draw and
both fighters were dissatisfied with
the result. Both boys havo gone
into training and report from both
camps that the result this time will
bo quite u bit different. Heine says
that the old right cross Is working
once more and he expects to win by
a knockout. Maximo is depending
on his fast left hand and also on his
natural speed.
Tho committee is also working
hard to line up a few preliminaries
to open up the boxing program. BUI
Wright has his eye on a couple of
heavyweights in Hanamaulu that he
hopes to sign up. The only trouble
has been that he has been unable to
get sparring partners for them as
each one of them carries a wallop
that is like the kick of a mule. Bill
says that he would use either Jack
Dempsey or Carpentier as sparring
partners It he could induce them to
come to Kauai.
The base ball game which will
really decide the Championship of
the Hawaiian Islands will bo played
at two-thirty, immediately following
the boxing program. The All Chinese
won tho championship of Oahu last
year and since that time have de
feated the champions of Maui and
Hawaii. As the Makeo team won
the championship last year, the win
ner of this game can be rightly called
the champions of the Hawaiian Is
lands.
Henry Sheldon Is decided that tho

;! Kapaa Notes j
Tho Kapaa baseball park is now
completely fenced in, permission hav
ing been given tyy tho board of super
visors to Mr. James Spalding to do
tho work at his own expense. This
Is decidedly a big improvement, as
tho fence now keeps tho countless
number of cattle and horses roaming
tho high-ways and by-ways of Kapaa
out, prevents them from damaging
tho smooth "skin diamond", and in
dicates to the spectators where the
dead line" is. Prior to the erection
of tho fence, nobody Could keep the
crowd back In their proper places,
but the crowd now has more respect
for the new fence and does not cross
Into tho field.
Hats off to "Sunburn" Jonah Cum-
mlngs, star hurler of tho Makees. If
ever gamoness was required and dis
played in a baseball game, Jonah dis
played it last Sunday, when, after be
ing .nearly knocked out by the ball,
ho ran after It, picked it up and throw
to first before he gave any attention
to his injury. Ho oven wanted to
continue pitching, but when told that
his team had very little chance of
losing, the score standing at 10 to 1,
ho was persuaded to retire. When
asked by Dr. Hagood after his nose
had stopped bleeding, "How do you
feel now, Jonah?" ho gave the crowd
a laugh by unconsciously answering.
Oh, fine, doctor." Such is spirit
and gameness, and these two things
go a long way toward winning not
only baseball games, but other things
as well.
Antone Rets Is taking David Luke's
"Pegasus" under his wing and is
treating tho former Hulela "plow
horse" like a long-lost brother in pre
paration for that great race on July
Fourth against John Fernandez's
Bridgeplayer."
George Waialele, a laborer on the
County roads for many years, died
suddenly early Saturday morning fol
lowing a short illness of a couple of
days. Tho deceased is survived by
a wife and an adopted son.

K. Miyasato, a Japanese of Ana-
hola, was caught on Monday night
about 11 p. in., taking pineapples
from the Moloaa fields of the Hawai
ian Canneries Company. According
to Solomon Polani, night watchman
employed by the pineapple company,
two Japanese came in a wagon, but
one speeded away belter skelter with
the horso and wagon, leaving his com
panion to suffer the consequences.
The Japanese was arrested after he
had picked only a Blngle pineapple
and put it into a bag ho was carrying
with him. Judge Puulki found tho
defendant guilty of second degree
larceny and soaked him $25. and $1.
for costs of court, which is rather an
exorbitant price to charge for one
pineapple, even though the demand
for Hawaiian Pineapple invariably
exceeds the available supply.
We do not claim to bo prophets or
mind readers, but we are willing to
wager that we know who worried tho
most over Cumming's injury on Sun
day afternoon. It was not Henry
Sheldon, manager of tho team, Kion
Soong, Captain, or Hermann Wolters,
President, but another whose namo
is left to the conjecture of those who
may bo inclined to be a little too in
quisitive. ::
FATHER OF MCBRYDE MAN
KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Neil Robertson, head bookkeeper
of McBryde Plantation, received the
sad news last week that his father
had been killed in an automobile
accident at Fresno, California. Mr.
Robertson's mother was also severe
ly injured in the accident.
The message came by wireless and
Mr. Robertson has not yet learned
particulars of the accident nor how

TWO GUARD GO'S
10 BE ORGANIZED
Two companies of the National
Guard were organized on Kauai this
past week. A machine gun com
pany was organized at Kapaa and n
rifle company at Llhuo. W. Foster
Horner was appointed captain of the
machine gun company, with A. Horn
er Jr. first lieutenant. Tho socond
lieutenant and the noncommissioned
officers have not been selected yet.
Philip Rico of Lihue has been ask
ed to serve as captain of tho rifle
company at Llhuo. It. is not definite
ly known yet whether he will accept
or not. If he does, S. M. Carter of
Llhuo is to be his first lieutenant.
In caso Captain Rice is unable to
servo in this capacity, Mr. Carter
will captain tho company. Who his
lieutenants will bo under these cir
cumstances are not yet known.
Tho organization of these two com
panies was completed by Colonel W.
D. Potter, adjutant' general of tho
National Guard of Hawaii, and Lieut.
Col. E. J. Nowlen, national guard in
struwtor. Colonel Potter announces
thct $3000 has been appropriated for
the equipping of these Kauai compan
ies. It is intended to put up a small
building at Kapaa for the storing of
the, guns, ammunition, etc. The ma
chine gun company will be given a
Browning machine gun and Colt
automatic pistols as part of their
equipment.
A number of White trucks are be
ing sent from the mainland for Nat
ional Guard purposes. Each Kauai
company is to have one to be used
in tho transportation of men and ma
terials. Tho officers In charge in
tend to properly equip both compan
ies and to raise them to full peace
time strength. Ninety-throe men are
needed for the rifle company and 78
men for the machine gun company.
"It Is our idea", Colonel Potter
says, "to havo fewer companies than
heretofore and to have them better
trained, organized and equipped.
We aro correcting tho faults of tho
old guard before the war. Under
tho present system tho men will all
be paid for every drill they attend
and they will get their pay promptly.'
And we are getting the cooperation
of all the former national guard men.
Even those, who are unable to Join at
present are going to help In tho train
ing of the now men."

BABY HIT BY BATTED BALL
The Infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Alamelda of Koloa had
a very narrow escape from death
last Sunday when a foul bell travel
ling at terriffic speed grazed tho top
of its head. '
Mrs. Alamelda, with her baby in
her arms, was seated in tho car of J.
S. Ornellas, which was parked beyond
tho first base lino at tho Koloa- Mc
Bryde game at Koloa Sunday after
noon. Monsarratt, tho Koloa third
baseman, was at bat and hit a foul
drive along tho first baso lino. Tho
ball, hot off the big third baseman's
bat, went as straight as a bullet for
the car, passed through a small space
between the top supports, and struck
tho child in its mother's arms.
It was thought at the time that the
baby was killed by tho blow, as it
was unconscious, but fortunately it
did not receive tho full Impact of the
force as the ball hit a glancing blow
on tho top of tho head.
Dr. Waterhouso was summoned
and ordered the Injured baby taken
homo where restorative measures
were taken, with tho result that It
revived and is believed now to be
out of danger.
