FAIRLY GOOD WORK.
Senators Won Six Out of Fifteen Games
on the Trip.

OA SAS LII ~.
Yesterdays game at Fort Wayne with
Cleveland wound up the Senator's first trip
Of the season into the western territory,
and although nothing sensational was
forthcoming as result, the Washington
club did fairly well, all things considered.
Their record stands victories and de-
feats. Of the four eastern clubs, Boston
did the best work on the trip, winning and
losing games. Baltimore was tied with
Washington, while the Athletics had to be
content with victories and 10 defeats The
Athletics left home in the lead of the cham
pionship race, but have been compelled to
drop back into third place. But for the
double victory of the Orioles Tn Chicago
yesterday Washington would have headed
them on the western trip, but instead have
now slipped back into seventh place.
The Washington team will reach home
this evening and tomorrow afternoon open
up series of three games with the Bos-
tons at American League Park. The Bean
eaters have recently struck their true form
and are playing very fast ball. Dougherty
mas replaced Hickman in left field and the
youngsters good work has acted as a stin-
ulant upon the entire team.

and confront the old Roman, Cy Young
The game should be a battle royal, as both
pitchers are in grand shape at present and

the same line up as on the western trip.

relating to back water rates:
Honolulu, II. l., Aug. 6, 1909.
Honorable James II. Boyd, Superin-
tendent of Public Works. Honolulu.
Dear Sir:-I beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of copy of a communication
from Mr.. Charles NJ. Co1ke relative to
back water rates against the DR.. Mich
OILS lot, and your request for my opin-
ion as to whether II is within the pow
er of your department to hold the pres
ent owner Of the DIR. Nichols lot re-
sponsible for water rates contracted
prior to his purchase Of said lot.
We have no statute making water
rates lien upon property. only reg
ulation OF the department making them
personal charge against the owner
in default of payment by his tenant.
The owner is not responsible for water
used before he bought the property.
Very respectfully,

POLICE ALARM SYSTEM.

The captains and lieutenants of tho

have to turn in their reports from va.

therefore the location of every man on
the force must be known at stated
times during the day. The alarm box
system has been found to work most
admirably. 1t not only helps the de.

but 1t assists the officers materially in
the performance Of their duties. partic.
