, LEAGUE BASEBALL
The chances are batter than oven
that Kauai will bo having league base
ball in the near future. President B.
D. Baldwin, of the Kauai Athletic As
sociation, says it is time wo had some
organized baseball and accordingly
has issued a call for a meeting to bo
held at the County Building next Fri
day afemoon at 3 o'clock, for the pur
pose of organizing a league. It is es
pecially requested that all plantation
managers bo present, but every one
interested is cordially invited.
Now that the boys are back from
military service, there is no reason
why wo should not enjoy some first
class ball, such as we had boforo this
war. There are any number of high
class players on the island and it will
bo no trouble at all to form a league
of four or five teams.
Llhuo can bo counted upon to enter
a team, so will the old stand-bys, Ma
kawell and McBrydc. Manager Lar
son, of Kilauea, Is enthusiastic over
the prospect and will undoubtedly of
fer a team. Manager Molters, of Kea
lla, is a rapid fan and can be counted
on to do all in his power to boost tho
game. Tho Lihue team will have a
good friend in Manager Moler, who.
when he was at McBryde, was the man
responsible for that excellent team.

Miss Peggy Center will give her Li
hue concert. Lihue people have been
looking forward to this event with
great enthusiasm, and a large au
dience Is expected. Mrs. William
Grotb will accompany Miss Center,

MISS RUTH ANDERSON
UNDERGOES OPERATION
Miss Ruth Anderson, who accom
panied her brother, Lieut. Anderson,
to Kauai last Friday, suffered an acute
attack of appendicitis last Saturday
and was operated on at Lihue Hospi
tal that afternoon by F. L. Putman
assisted by Dr. Young. Tho patient
is reported as doing splendidly. .
Mendes Demands Recount
Tho very lose contest botwoon Bet
tencourt and Mendes for tho office of
Supervisor for Kawalhau promises to
run to a second and even more ex
citing chapter. Mendes claims that
through carelessness or crookedness
he has been defrauded of certain
votes which properly belonged to him
and which would glvo him tho advan
tage over his rival, and accordingly
he demands an official recount.
It appears that contrary to tho
usual custom, tho official count was
conducted with undue haste, so that it
would have been very easy to makes
a slip of a voto or two. Altogether
there wero eighteen candidates run
ning for tho various offenses, so that
tho official record sheet was neces
sarily a large one and In tallying the
returns it would bo necessary to
jump from place to place on this
sheet with the chance, If It wero done
hurriedly, that mistakes might be
made. That it was dono hurriedly
is testified to by disinterested ob
servers. One such, who attempted
to tally the returns as called off by
tho chairman of the local election
board, found that tho calling off was
too speedy for him, yet he is recog
nized as an expert in those matters.
There are also two votes which
were thrown out by tho inspectors
of election because of irregularity of
form.
Attorney P. L. Rice is taking up
the matter in the Interest of Mendes
and has gone to town on the case.
In the meantime tho bunch of pos
sibilities in tho way of votes cast in
tho case, are quietly reposing in a
sealed official bag in the county clerks
office.

U has been Generally surmised that
tlle reluctance, on the part of the alien

transfer the stock back again to its

Toi Whom It May Concern
Hearing that certain persons- in
Wai-mea District feel nggrioved at the
valuations wo placed on tho govern
ment lands in Waimea village and
valloy, valued by us last May, and at
tribute them in some moacuro to tho
influence of Mr. Th. Brandt on our
deliberations and blanio him for the
valuations, we beg to inform such
porsons, that Mr. Brandt did not, iu
any way, influence us in determining
our values, and ns a matter of fact
was emphatically opposed to them.
Mr. Brandt's Idea was that a low,
almost nominal, value bo placed on
such lots as had been occupied, for
many years, by kamaalnas. He so
stated, in public, at tho Wulmeu Court
House, tho day that persons interest
ed came by Invitation, and told us
what thoy thought tho lots should bo
appraised at.
