What a deplorab c thing it is
that baseball cannot le PLAYED
here among amateu , ,ithout its
getting into the ha d of men
who make a gambli 2 Institution
oi 1t. What pity, also, that a
nine made up as the Crescents
has been for the last two or three
years should feel the necessity
Tor taking in person, who ac-
cording to his own admission,
lost the game purposely. The
result of this selling out business
has been disastrous to the seller
I as well as to the man accused OF
offering the bride. That it will
affect the status OF the game here
there can be no doubt; if it will
have purifying influence on the
game the public will lift up a
voice in say ing the end justihes
the means. Honolulu for its
population has been singularly
tree from gambling resorts and
that fact, perhaps, has thrown
people to the ball grounds as
place for adding to or depicting
their exchequers. The manage
ment of the clubs may be power
less to stop this outside of the
grounds, but it would be a step
in the right direction if it could
be prohibited within the enclo-
sure, whether it is by players or
spectators.
This water famine business is
getting to be serious. If the
supply out on the Plains district
is as short as we are led to be-
lieve either the government or
the property owners will have
to make a move toward alleviat-
ing the sufferings of the people.
We were told the other day that
any where along Berctania or
Pensacola streets surface wells
may be dug and a good supply
Cf water obtained al a very tri-
fling expense. 1t doe, not require
very old man to rel ember a
surface well and a vii dmill on
Beretania street in hc vicinity
of The base ball grol NJ S; if sur
face wells could lie dug and
water obtained fife, N twenty
years ago we see ne Cnangc in
the condition of affair S I rat would
prevent its being done low. OF
course that was before the days
of the Aermotor and OF her styles

faction. There are NJ grounds
on the Plains too lirs c to be
watered by one OF Cur S.foot
mi Is, and beside the sa ne power
would force the wa 81 through
pipes into your house. If annoy
ance or inConvience 1t not hav-
ing a sufficient water supply
counts for any Il ing the
Aormotor would pa n itself in
a very short time, YOU would be
under none of the /, strictions
that owners of COVE nrlent priv,
elo geS suffer from al Il our gras
and flowers would tlke on a
healthy look. The demand for
Aermotors is rather larger than
we had expected during these
dull times, but we will be able tC
cope with it unless there should
be an extraordinary rush during
the next three weeks.
We have received an extra
supply OF the Clauss Bread
Knives in sets of three which we
give away for one dollar. These
knives have been tried and moi
found wanting; they are made o.
the best quality oil steel from
pieces cast aside at the saw fac
tories. Every one knows that
the finest material only is used
