BASEBALL ORGANIZATION
IS STILL UNPROTECTED
Professionalism Must Be Eradicated To Make
the National Game of America Success
In These Islands.

USHE baseball agitation continues
for the reorganization of the ma
,onsI game in Honolulu are still being
brought forward.
As yet nothing definite has been done,
hut the matter is being given serious
consideration in several quarters, and
the question will undoubtedly graduate
from the conjectural form inside of two
weeks
What seems to be the most practicable
scheme introduced so far has been sub
nitted by well-known enthusiast in To-
al athletics and the gist of it is contain
cd In the following extracts from his
communication:
As interest in baseball seems To be re-
irving, it may not be out of place to Of
fer a few suggestions for the coming
:eason. That some radical changes must
be made in the methods heretofore pur-
sued, if the season is to be a success,
S apparent.
There is a scheme afoot for the purifi-
cation of the athletics of the Islands
which will call for the establishment of
standard based on amateurism. Ha-
vain at the present time is not the
place for the professional athlete as
PARTICIPANT in sports, and the lack of
interest in sports in general here may
be due to the fact that there is not
Inc drawn between the professional and
amateur. Were such a line drawn now
the percentage of amateurs would be
surprisingly small.
The interest in the game in the past
has shown that people here care for
baseball as baseball without the suspi-
sOn of professional methods which
have done so much to deaden that inter

The suggestions here made are made
in the hope that they will call forth OBJ
sctons and better suggestions to ill
their place They are intended to fit in

scheme to include nearly all the sports
Of the Islands.
In the first place it is essential that
some arrangements be made for a per-

WATER POLO THE
LATEST IN SPORT
Local Swimmers and Athletes Will
Meet in Rivalry in the Sea at
the Healani Boathouse.

The very latest thing talked about in
Honolulu athletic and aquatic circles is
water polo, and a team to play the game
is being organized by Dan Renear, the
champion amphibian of the Healani Boat
Club.
The game is an entire innovation here
and is at once one of the most interest
ing and exciting of water sports.
Water polo is very generally played
on the Coast, the large swimming baths
to be found in most cities on the Pa
cffic Slope being admirably adapted to
the game. In Honolulu the players will
perform their evolutions in the water OF
the harbor, between the lanai float and
diving platform of the Healani Club.
The game is a kind of aquatic football

GUN CLUB SCHEME FOR
HONOLULU HANGS FIRE
Plenty Of Men Anxious To Join But None Has
Taken the Initiative in Starting the Plan
For Trapshootng Here.

~ HE scheme of organizing gun club
in Honolulu seems to hang fire
somehow. There are plenty Of
shooting enthusiasts here and any
amount of guns. but the trouble seems
to be lack of knowledge and expert
ence in the launching of such a desirable
enterprise.
When a party of shooters or sportsmen
desire to organize a gun club, a few Of
the leading spirits should appoint a time
and place for meeting, and invite all
interested TO be present. A gun or sport
ing goods store is an excellent place to
meet.
The meeting should be called to order
by one of the promoters and chairman
and secretary should be elected to act
until permanent organization is effect
ed.
After the object of the meeting has
been sufficiently discussed, and all pres
ent who desire to become members of
the proposed club have given Their

p. Maurice MacMahon, Hilo's speedy

sidered from the standpoint of all-round
athletics, Kapiolani Park race track
seems to be best adapted. If suitable
arrangements could be made for the
use of the same there would be ample
room inside the track for baseball. foot
ball, cricket, tennis, etc. With proper
transportation the distance from the
City should not prove too great.
1t would be most desirable that the bail
order to insure this all those interested
in the game and those who would de-
rive the profit from them should bear
the expense. Admission to grand stand
refreshment licences and score card
privileges woeld also help. The street
car lines and those who would make ex-
ira profit from regular games at the
Park should be willing to contribute and
also make special concessions TO play
ers.
In order that the games may be real
contests it is desirable that no one team
should absorb the best men, and to OBJ
Viate that this suggestion is made:
That all the players of the City who de-
sire to play ball be called together and
that from these players three or four
captains be chosen regardless of former
team affiliations. Then these captains
by successive choices select teams to in
clude in the neighborhood of fifteen men.
ne ScitClIOit VI CdpltlliS Is VI great
portance and the aim should be to Sc
cure men with thorough baseball knowl-
edge and ability to handle men rather
than the best individual players. Careful
selection is also needed in the choice of
managers, as much of the success of the
season will depend on their work in
keeping the interest alive with the public
as well as management of finances and
transportation.
A prize of a suitable nature should be
offered for the team winning it a certain
number of seasons. Also individual
prizes for batting, fielding, base running,
etc. A careful and correct system of
scoring should be adopted and records
and percentages published from time to
time. Competent officials should serve
season continuously.
These suggestions are made in refer
ence to the League season and not 10.

should unquestionably be run on college
lines.

GEORGE BROWN HEAVILY FINED.
Colored Man Resisted the Officers
When Arrested.

On Wednesday afternoon George
Brown, a young colored man OF
Clayton, who visited Smyrna to
take in the circus, imbibed toe
freely and in an hour or two after
his arrival here began hunting for
trouble. He found it in large
chunks later when he ran up against
negro named Clifton. Constable
Jones, assisted by Policemen Turner
and Cummins, arrested Brown and
he was clubbed when he showed
fight. On the way to the lookup
Brown tried to escape but was f.
nally landed in a cell. He then as
saulted Officer Jones and had to be
choked into submission before the
constable could leave the cell, the
prisoner trying to get out the door
with Mr.. Jones. When arraigned
before Squire Cooper, Brown was
fined, which with the cost amounted
to $I3. OF. He was in a penitent
mood and the charge of assault
against Constable Jones was with
drawn.

Cured, stated he had a revolver in
his hip pocket and that when Hutt
threw him (Butler) the revolver
exploded, the ball striking Hutt in
the stomach. The inquest was con

REGULARS WILL GET OFFICES.
Congressman Ball Has Disposal oi
Federal Patronage.

1t is generally accepted among
Republicans throughout the State
that for the time being the status
of the Federal Offices of Delaware
will be unchanged. 1t was under
stood even before the death of
President Mckinley that Congress
man Ball would practically have
the disposal of the Federal patron
age and that the present postmas-
tiers would probably continue
through this Administration. In
huential Regulars, however, who
say that President Roosevelt is in
sympathy with them, will try 10
get the Administration to take a
definite and decided stand against
Addicks. The Regulars of Kent
and Sussex will have a straight
ticket in the field next year and it
will be war to the knife. The Ad-
dicks people are working up a
scheme to co!onze this county
with negroes, but their efforts in
this line will prove unavailing.

1900 was 46 per cent. less than in
1890, and the reported product In
1899 was only 2I per cent. of that
of ten years before. In the ten
years since 1890 the number OF
apple trees increased 66.6 per cent.
cherry trees, 4o.7; pear trees. 237.o;
plum and prune trees, 1894. The
yields of these fruits show still
larger proportionate increases. In
1889 the total value of garden pro-
ducts, including small fruits sold,
was $22o, $50. Nearly three fourths
of the acreage of miscellaneous
vegetables was devoted to tomatoes
and the receipts from their, sale
comprised over one-half the amount
realized from all such vegetables.
The amount expended in 1890 for
labor, including the value of board
furnished, was 81 ,o76, goo, an aver
age of $III.o7 per farm. The ex-
penditure for fertilizers the same
year was $3.50, ,o4o, an increase of
III per cent. over the amount ex-
pended ten years before.

Boys. Be CAREFUL

Saturday night juvenile club
was visited by a prominent gentle
man here, accompanied by two Off
GERS, his visit being for the purpose
of securing porch chair that had
been stolen from him. The rocker
was found and events proved that
things had been taken from other
places. The matter has caused
quite sensation here and as the
members of the club are young men
just starting out in life their names
are not published in the hope that
they will realize the seriousness of
their deeds and cease the practice.
