What deplorable thing it is
that baseball cannot be PLAYED
here among amateurs without its
getting into the hands of men
who make a gambling institution
of it. What a pity, also, that a
nine made up as the Crescents
has been for the last two or three
years should feel the necessity
for taking in a 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
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 a purifying influence on the
game the public will lift up a
voice in say ing the end justifies
the means. Honolulu for its
population has been singularly

that fact, perhaps, has thrown
people to the ball grounds as a
place for adding to or depicting

grounds, but it would be a step
in the right direction if it could
be prohibited within the enclo

spectators.
This water famine business is
getting to be serious. If the

We were told the other day thai
any where along Beretania OF

may be dug and a good supply

surface well and windmill or

of the base ball grounds; if sur

on the Plains too large to bt
