Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: "Hunky"
Hines will be the manager of the Du-
buQue baseball team next year. This
announcement comes officially. The
directors and Hunk have come to-
gether and everything is peaceful.
There was some anxiety felt among
the fans as to Hines plans. There was
much speculation, but the genial
"Hunky' seems to have outguessed
everyone. The remaining of Hines as
manager will meet with the hearty
approval of everyone. He is known
las one of the grand old men in Three
Eye-league matters. He has given Du-
buque a sample of good baseball. He
gave Dubuque its first successful team
financially and otherwise. To him is
due the credit of putting the game on
its feet strong.

DUST FROM DIAMOND.
THERE'S ANGUISH IN euckTowN.

There is anguish down in Bucktown
Eyes are red and lips are swollen,
Hair is all in disarray.
LO, the fan is sore and Sullen
As his lip in anger curlS,
While the bitter tears are rolling
Down the cheeks of pretty girls
Davenport is shot to pieces.
Fifth place now is but a dream
Since they lost double-header
To that SOClItOwn tail-end team.
It's a shame says Jim Hayes. sadly.
It's Il damper on the hope
To be wallOped so at Rockford:
Who'd have thought it from the dope -
Says Max OChs, the baseball prophet,
It's impossible to see
How those common smokes could beat us,
How on earth can such things be-"
Those in BucktOwn blame the umpire.
On the hill they say the foe
Must have drugged the drinking water.
Thus to deal cOwardly blow.
Here and there they say luck did it.
That a lot of fukes a:.d spills
Put their ball team on the pig train,
Giving faithful fans the chills.
Not crank in that tow last year
Would admit that, on the square,
Our team trimmed them on the level.
Trimmed them good and trimmed them
fair
But we beat them to frazzlP
Made them look like 80 cents.
Threw their pets down in the feed
trough.
Hung their hides upon our fence.
Come brace up, don't be discouraged.
Hope is ever on the wing.
Ma jor clubs will all be grabbing
For Mike Jacobs in the spring.

Hedges Passes Four Men.

The hits were CVcn-11 by each
team. Hedges was wild, passing four
men, but he was effective in tight
places. Rock Islands first score came
in the opening inning on a hit by
Thornton, a sacrifice by Lister. a steal
of third by Thornton. who reached the
base so quickly that Hedges did not
even make an effort to catch him, a
base on balls to Vandine. and a double
steal by the latter and Thornton.
Thornton came home when Van drew
a throw to second.
Latimer'S tumble of grounder
knocked to him by Carlisle gave Rock
Island the run in the ninth, Sweeney
following with single through Dur
keeville. and Carlisle scoring on a fly
to center by Cheek. Springfield tied
the score in the third with hits by Eb-
right and Lippert. Ebright reached
second while Hedges was retiring via
Sweeney and Lister, and came the
rest of the distance when Looie drove
in left. Then Looie got caught off
watch at first. Cheek pegging him.
Long Hits by LIppert and Neal.
Neither side tailed until the eighth.

wished TO impose on a cripple. but be
cause he wanted the game. He gave
Donnelly the only real opportunity of
the game to prove that he was mis-
taken when he uttered the assertion
that he had slow pedal. for Donnelly
never covered more territory in a
shorter space of time than he did when
the Rock Island twirler hoisted the
pill just this side of the Murphy patch
that is prospecting on the south side of

| The title of the Act of Congress re-
ferred to. being Chapter 1858 of the
statutes of 1904, reads as follows:
| "An Act to authorize the Govern
ment of the United States to partici-
, pate in celebrating the one hundredth
anniversary of the exploration of the
oregon country by Captains Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark in the years
eighteen hundred and four, eighteen
hundred and five, and eighteen hun
dred and six. and for other purposes"
And this is the section relating to
buildings:
"Sec. 4. That the Secretary of the
Treasury shall cause q suitable build
ing or buildings to be erected on the
site selected for the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition for the said
Government exhibit, including a suita-
BILE building for an exhibit of the Unit
ed States Life-Saving Service, the
forestry and irrigation building herein
referred to, and also cause to be erect
ed suitable building or buildings on
said site for the use of the district of
Alaska, the Territory of Hawaii, the
Philippine Islands, and also oriental
and oceanic countries that may desire
an exhibit of their products and re-
sources at said exposition
The section goes on to provide an
appropriation of two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars (s25O,OOW for the
buildings mentioned, including prepar-
alton of grounds therefor and the
lighting thereof, also for the DISPOSE
ton of the structures at the close of
the exposition. AT least one distinct
building is to be for forestry and irri
cation exhibits, as "a reference in the
foregoing quotation shows.
On its own part, the United States
Government will have an exhibit part
ly selected from that now at ST. Louis.
The Act provides for drawing from the
treasures of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton and various Federal departments
to enrich the national display at Port
land. Hawaii, as already shown, has
the privilege of resting right under
the wing of the American eagle, so
that the isolation of the Territory
which the st. Louis management at
for a site carried on by our authori- |
ties, is rendered entirely impossible.

PROVISION FOR HAWAII
AT OREGON CENTENNIAL
Act Of Congress Devotes the United States
Buildings In Part to Exhibit
From Hawaii.

| Editor Advertiser: Hawaii Is given
an unprecedented opportunity of MAX
ing an exhibit at a universal fair, by
special provision in an Act of Congress
authorizing the Federal Government to
participate in the Lewis and Clark
Centennial Exposition at Portland,
Oregon, next summer. Such provision
is that of accommodation for a Ha-
waiian exhibit.
From the wording of the section re-
lating to buildings, it may not be too
much to expect that, with prompt ac-
ton on the part of our people, an eN-
clusively Hawaiian building to cost
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 might
be obtained out of the Federal appro-
priation. If not that, at all events the
Territory of Hawaii will not be meanly
treated in the matter of space when
the quarter of a million dollars for
United States buildings, in part speci-
fically devoted to a Hawaiian exhibit,
has been expended.
With accommodation for Hawaii pro-
vded without cost, doubtlessly at the
very center of the Fair, the expense
of making a telling exhibit would be
comparatively trifling. There is a fair
ly perfected plan eXtant from the de-
feated purpose of a st. Louis exhibit,
with probably also some of the imper-
ishable articles collected yet available.
Indeed, the magnificent educational eX-
hibit prepared for the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition is not only intact but
mostly packed already for shipment.
Northwestern ports, ought to be in
expensive.
Whatever may be said for and a
gainst the value of exhibits at great
fairs, the affirmative in this particular
case ought to have manifold force in
the circumstances. Discussions, more
or less desultory, arise at both ends
of the line every now and again upon
the question of promoting trade be-
tween Hawaii and ports on the North
west Pacific Coast. An exposition in
that quarter would afford an excellent
chance for Hawaii to illustrate to bust
ness men and consumers there just
what Hawaiian products might, with
adequate transportation facilities, be
placed in that market for exchange
with the lumber, grain and manufac-
tured articles of the great Northwest

EASTERN STARS ENJOY
MOONLIGHT DANCING

The moonlight excursion and dance
which was given Tuesday evening at
Pearl Harbor by Leahi Chapter No. 2,
Order of the Eastern Star, was great
success. The special train left the
depot at 1880 with a jolly party of
about two hundred Eastern Stars and
their friends on board.
The pavilion was handsomely decor
ated with Japanese lanterns and pre-
scented beautiful sight as the train
neared the harbor. The Ellis Quintette
Club furnished the music for dancing
and dainty refreshments were served
throughout the evening.
At 1880 the train left for Honolulu
and on arrival was met by special
electric cars. The pavilion at the
waters edge Is certainly an ideal spot
for an affair of this kind and many
expressed wish to enjoy such an
other evening shortly as the Eastern
Stars certainly know how to entertain.

X-GOVERNOR BAKER
VISITING THE CITY

Col. John II. Baker, the last Governor
archy, is in town as witness in one
of the Parker Ranch suits. He says
that ranching at " aimea, in which he
is now engaged, agrees with him
splendidly and he does look as If it
did. Yesterday he met a former col
league of the Legislature of 1890 and
another acquaintance of that time both
at once at the front of the judiciary
building, which caused him to remark
on the few old friends he met since his
arrival last Saturday.
Just one yesterday, and you two
today" he said as his stalwart frame
shook with boyish mirth. Then he re-
peated II piece of raillery which he ut
tered in English at the close of long
native harangue in the Legislature one
day, and his former colleague laughed
heartily as he said he remembered the
incident The other old friend, though
not a member of the Legislature, was
the only one present who understood
the sally when it was uttered, for it
was directed at himself and borrowed
from Il story told at his expense by the
late Paul Neumann under Mr. Bakers
roof in Hilo.
There are few Hawaians today who
look to be chiefs on the model of the
older time, imposing in physique and
commanding I'm demeanor, so strikingly
as does Col. Baker. His late brother,
Robert Hoapil Baker, a Governor of
Maui, was the model for the Kameha-
meha statue.

HOW THE JAPANESE WON
THE BATTLE OF VAFANGOW

LAO YANG, June 1S.-(Delayed in
ransmission.) 1.-The Japanese con-
tinued to press the Russian forces re-
turning from the battle of Vafangow
remained at Vafangow all day and at
night persistently pushed forward and
tried to get around the Russian right
wing, which had borne the brunt of
such heavy fighting the previous day.
A terrific thunderstorm burst at
night rendering the roads almost i'm
passable.
Further details of the fighting on
June 18th show that the Russian ad-
vance on the Japanese position, when
it was hoped that Northumberland
Stakelberg would drive back General
Nodzu's army, was n most brilliant
affair. Soon after dawn the japanese
We're discovered in strong force on a
hill north of Dyaiwo. The infantry
was well intrenched and supported
by artillery The Russian left was
thrown forward, with reserves, to
clear the hill. They had a little over
n mile of open country to cross. their
only cover being two small hills and
two shallow valleys. The Japanese
concentrated a deadly fire as soon as
the Russians reached the open.
over the Hill the Japanese threw
shrapnel, which burst with deadly ef-
feet. Some squadrons suffered every
officer killed and half the men wound
ed. The battle then became n hand
to-hand fight with stones and gun
butts, and the remainder of the Rus
SLAMS, taking advantage of this diver
sion, gained the shelter OF neigh
boring raylne, but were unable 10 hold
