Letters to THE CALL base ball man from
Dave Dreamer, Joe LeveQue and Josh Reilly
of Hoog's California Tourists state that the
Zealandia arrived at Honolulu after very
stormy passage, twenty-four hours late.
They say that they have been royalty
some. good playing. They relate many
amusing stories of John Patrick CahiIl
who organized brotherhood of those who
did not get sick and whose duties We're to
josh every seaslck rerson on board. On their
arrival they were shown the sights and were
of course taken to the '.;ioola-hoola," or
native dance. John Patrick became imme-
diately smitten with the charms Of one
dusky maiden Of uncalculated years and
made an agreement to teach her how
in the bargain if she would give him
Instructions in the Hawaiian dance. Reilly
says 'both have large-szed contract on
their hands," The sale of seats for the
game is reported large, ana everything
points to a very successful trip. They re-
turn about the 22d inst
all prime favorites with the famous
Pioneer team. and who will be
very much in the game next
Tnird-ba seman Nick Smith and Outfielders
Hen Moore and Billy Cooney. Crosby and
MeGlade have both been keeping in form
doing light outdoor and gymnasium practice,
and each feels confident that he will
be in condition to do efficient box
service when the season opens. Nick
Smith has also been taking excel
lent care of himself and there are
many who think the coming season will show
that at the difficult corner Nick has few SUI
periors in any company where he may be
placed. Hen Moore and Billy Cooney, though
somewhat erratic in their leisure moments,
are conceded to be magnifcen. outtielders
and strong throwers, cracking good htterS
and fast base-runners. They will undoubt-
edly be seen with some first-class minor
league team next year.
The story so widely published that the
National League Club owners intended to
boycott the rngleaders in the recent Brother
hood revolt created considerable discussion
among base ball men to-day. 1t was said
that Ward kerfe, Irwin, Brouthers. Buffing-
ton, o Rourke, Gore, and other players who
took prominent part in the recent unpleas-
antness would never be allowed to play in a
professional team again. Investi CATION
proved that there was no real cause
for alarm, for the National League
had. as predicted in to-day's paper, decided
the President of the New York Club, was
seen at his Office and said: ''As far as
know, there is no foundation for any such
story. The National Leagues whole am
bitiOn has been to settle this unnatural war
rs quickly, as honoIably and upon as equt-
able basis as possible. The league does
not wish to knife anybody, and it certainly
has not issued any boycott against any of
the old players. OF course there are some
men who have seen their best days who will
not be engaged for next season. Younger,
brighter and better bal-payers will be Sc
cured, regardless of whether they played in
the National League or the Players League
