BASE BALL OF 1898
Capt. " Jim p" Thompson
Has the Honolulu Team.
a Strong Nine-Stars and Regiments
More Games Proposed MOT
Enough Ball Last Year.

There is at the present time a very
perceptible stir in baseball circles, as
there is every year when one team
chooses its men and proposes TO get
to work. There seems to be very
general call for an extension OF the
season this year over that OF the last
season, the claim being that there Is
room for more games without any IN
convenience. This is also based on the
fact that last season there was call
for more games when the series had
been completed The people, had not
been given enough. However, Whlle
all this talk is going on the principal
thing to be considered is a meeting OF
the League for the arrangement or a
program. The proposition TO be ad-
vanced by a large number OF the play
ers has for it's main feature, series
of games in which each team will be
required to play twenty-One games in
| stead of fourteen as last year, the
| first of these to take place month
| earlier than last year.
One team, the Honolulus, is now
ready for work and it is time the 9th

| A meeting of the Honolulu team was
held on Monday night and James
A. THOMPSON of the st. Louis team
last year, was chosen captain while
Chris. Willis was made manager and
delegate. Besides the two mentioned
the following were signed: B. Lemon
c.. Holt, Mahuka Pahau, Pryce, IA
aua, KOki, Clark, KaanOi, I. jackson
w. AHA. The cOlors adopted are blue
and white. The word Honolulu" vii
be placed in blue letters across the
front of the white jersey. Captain
THOMPSON has wasted no time and ha!
ordered the boys out for practice some
time next week. After that, practice
will be kept up regularly until thu
opening of the season. From glance
at the names given above 1t will b'
seen that the team will be a yer.
strong one. The ST. Louis boys o
last year are we'll represented and
few members of the Star team of las
year will also be noticed.
The Regiment boys will come int
the league and will have as member
the same players as last year. 1t i
possible that there will be a strength
ening of the ranks of the soldier boy
from the baseball players in the Vol
unteers. At all events there will b

Moore is authority for the statemen
that there will be no more players i'm

into the team will be strictly Islam

that when Scotchmen leave their nome
land they seldom return, but about
every man who leaves Hawaii comes
hack again. Hawaii has been kind to
the Scotchmen within her borders ana
they have reciprocated. Some or the
foremost citizens Of the country nave

and the love and respect in which ne
was held by all the members OF the
club.
The recitation by Chief Dali of Tam
O. Shanter" from the very beginning
to Remember Tam O. Shanter's mare
was listened to with great interest. AT
the various witty passages, so well
rendered, there was hearty applause.
In response to the toast Absent

M bR6nT MACHINES
WILL ENLIvEN THE FOURTH OF
3n JULY PARADE
CHANCES OF FIRE TOO GREAT
Bay State Hose Manufacturers willing
to Replace Defective Sections
Hg Without Time Limit

Fire Commissioners Frank Sabichi ocou-
pied the chair at the meeting of the board
yesterday. The other members present
were Messrs. Kuhrts and Sinsabaugh.
Chief Moore reported favorably upon the
request of the Fourth of July committee,
asking that chemical engine and crew be
detailed for service at Agricultural park
during the firework display on the night of
the Fourth, and the board granted it.
The chief, however, recommended that
the other request of the same committee, to
the effect that the department parade. be
declined, and the commissioners so ordered.
The reasons given by the chief are that the
efficiency of the department should be in
creased Instead of decreased. and additional
apparatus and men be placed in service on
that Gay. 1t has been shown repeatedly
says Chief Moore, that the department is
not sufficient to cover the city. and many
neighborhoods are entirely unprotected
Statistics and experience teach that on the
Fourth of July there are many fires and
great danger of disastrous confiagration
The department in it's entirety should be
on duty from the Sd to the 5th of July of this
year. for the additional reason that the war
increases our patriotism and the glorious
Fourth will be noisy and wide open,' with
much powder, firecrackers and fireworks
Secretary Todd was instructed to state
these reasons to the Fourth of July commit
tee when notifying it of the boards action.
During the week ended June 21st there
were six fire alarms, but the aggregate
damage caused by these blazes was only
$685.
The resignation of B. L. Kiser, a hoseman
In the fire department, was accepted, and
the applications as fireman of H. H. Shelf
field and of VIM. Butendorff as a callman
were referred to the chief.
A communication from the Boston Woven
Hose and Rubber Co., with reference to a
number of sections of hose which burst at
the recent Crandall Aylesworth & Haskell
fire. was read and ordered filed. The COM
pany notices that their "Bay State is
among the brands mentioned as having
failed, but In the absence of any informa-
ton from the chief of the fire department
on the subject it presumes that the hose
constituted portion of lots furnished sew
eral years ago. upon which the guaranty
has recently expired.
The manufacturers nevertheless, pro-
claim themselves as ready to replace, free
of expense, any lengths of this brand of hose
which may have failed or may fail in fu-
ture through defective material or manu-
facture, properly attributable to the COM
pany. no matter whether the time limit has
expired or not.

THE MERRILL CONCESSION
Meets With Powerful Opposition, Will
Probably Be Pigeonholed

The city council on Monday adopted the
report of the water supply committee rec
ommending that J. c. Merrill's petition for
permission to pump waste water out of the
river sands at point above the Macy
street bridge be granted. At the time that
this action was taken written protest was
submitted to the council by Willard Barrett
and Albert Hoppe, riparian proprietors,
who claim that they and the other owners
on the river front are entitled to all waste
water not used by the city.
The protest was not needed, and since
then both the mayor and the members of the
council have been assailed with oral pro-
tests emanating from people who are in the
same fix as Barrett and Hoppe, and of
others who look with distrust upon any
operation by which private individuals
might acquire possession of such valuable
commodity as the waste water of the Los
Angeles river will prove in time to come.
They look ahead of today and realize the
value that this water will attain in ten or
fifteen years and the difficulties which may
surge up, between then and now, to take
away again from a quasi-franchise owner
a gift made and accepted under conditions
of immediate REIMBURSEMENT if the city so
orders, but which, in view of the costly i'm
rrovements which must hereafter be made
to develop 1t will not be willingly given up
then il litigation can prevent 1t.
Mayor Snyder placed himself on record
yesterday as irrevocably opposed to the
proposition that Merrill or anybody else
should be permitted to take the water from
the river as outlined in the petition. He
says that the present administration will
enop or. o11t of of1icn Another council will
take its place. to be followed thereafter by
third, and so on. The temporary conces-
sion will undoubtedly in the course of few
years become invaluable. What is to pre-
vent Merrill or his assigns from making it
their essential business to see to it that
enough friends get into the council to keep
him or they in possession, regardless of the
rights of the city and the benefits which
would accrue to its treasury hereafter it
in possession itself of the waste water?
agreement whatsoever he may be, not ask
as favor from time to time, that certain
little changes be made in the contract until
1t shall have no semblance to the original
one? And when the time comes when the
city proposes to resume control, is it not
possible that then the municipality will find
. itself powerless 10 execute its will without
Z costly and uncertain litigation? All this
may not occur, but we must be on our guard
and he who is farsighted is forearmed.
I The mayor declared also that If the matter
was submitted to the city engineer he
+ would undoubtedly report adversely to the
Merrill proposition.
