NAMED
Joint Street Committee Decides
on Those to be Paved,
Will Present its Report TO the Boards
at Their Next
Meetings.
ENGINEER TO BEGIN WORK

The joint street committee Of the
general council held a meeting last ev-
ening at the city hall and decided on
a report to the boards relative to the
streets 10 be paved in Paducsh with
the money raised by bond issue The
Sun called attention to the needless
delay several days ago and the mem
bers of the board have now got a move
on themselves.
The committee will recommend the
paving of the following streets. which
are almost the same recommended by
members OF the old boards before they
went out of office:
First from Washington to Jefferson
street; Second, from Washington TO
Broadway Third. from Kentucky av-
enue to Broad street where the latter
thoroughfare turns into Island creek
bridge; Fourth, from Kentucky ave
nue. to Washington street; Fifth, from
Trimble to Norton street; Sixth from
jefferson TO CLARK street; Seventh,
from Jefferson to Clark; Ninth, from
jefferson street to Kentucky avenue /;
Kentucky avenue from First to Ninth
streets; Broadway from Fifth to
Ninth street and Jefferson from First to
Ninth street.
AS the selections are about the best
that can be made. they will probably
be accepted by both boards, but the
list is Of course subject to change.
When the boards pass on the report
City Engineer Washington can go to
work with his preliminary WORK, such
IS surveying for the surface or storm
water sewerage under each block to
be paved.
IL is estimated that the cost Of the
work will average $1,000 block, in.
GLIDING the cost Of the storm water
sewerage. As soon as the weather i'm
proves Engineer Washington will be-
GIN the preliminary work in order to
complete it as soon rs possible and
have everything ready for the work
proper in the spring.

ABOUT
THE GAME
Baseball Commission Renders
Important Decision.
1t Will Affect Both the Major
snd the Minor
Leagues.
X. |. T. MEETING SUNDAY

The National Baseball Commission
has handed down an important decis-
ION, which Affects both major and
minor leagues and will be of interest
to fans in Paduoah.
The Cleveland American League
club lied the attention of the CON-
miss. % 20 certain legislation enacted
by the National Association at its
meeting held in st. Louis last fall.
1t is thought that this legislation was
OF such nature as to practically an
null one of the most important features
of the national agreement, and for that
reason requested that a ruling be made
by the commission.
1t called attention to that part of
the section of the national agreement
which refers to the disposition of Sc
lected players, where the full draft
price has not been paid, or where the
drafted player is released within q
year after his selection by a major
league club and contended that certain
legislation WAS in violation of these
sections in this, that the selected
player would not revert back to the
club from which he was drafted.
The legislation Of the National AS.
ISOLATION enacted last fall to which is
calls attention, was as follows:
Section 2. Players drafted by
major league clubs may be drafted by
Glass A clubs upon payment to the
secretary for the benefit of the club
from which selection was originally
made of one-half of the draft price of
the class in which such club may be
embraced before such player can re-
turn to the club from which he WAS
drafted"
The Cleveland club presented still
another proposition, as follows:
Suppose that we had player
drafted from a Glass b league whom
we decided was not strong enough for
us and suppose that we knew some
Glass A league club which had q
player whom we could use to advant-
age. Now, suppose that, by the pay
ment of cash bonus, this Glass A
club should be willing TO give us the
player we could use for the player we
could not use, would it be possible for
us to make such deal under the
terms of the action taken by the minor
Leagues at St. Louis; We fully under
stand that we could not make such a
deal under the terms of the national
agreement
The ruling Of the commission is that
the Cleveland club clearly has the
right 10 make such a deal, and to do
so under the terms Of the national
agreement. When a major league
club has once obtained clear title to .
drafted player, he does not revert
back 10 the club from which he was
drafted, either under the terms of the
national agreement or any other club
under the legislation above referred TO
unless he is given his unconditional
release, and this within the time pre-
soribed in Section 8, Article 6, OF the
agreement, and is not to be considered
a released" player if he can be sold
or traded, or used in exchange in any
deal with. any club Of either party to
the agreement.

sixty feet. But the main was unin-
jured. Even had this cable been brok-
en- it would not have cut Honolulu off
from communication with the outside
world for cable messages could have
been sent and received from the hut

Building office and the hut by telephone.
The strain which the cable main with
stood yesterday constituted voIumin-
Gus testimony as to the thoroughness
with which it was built.
Late in the afternoon force of men
repaired the water main, and pillars
were erected to hold it up to it's proper
level. Then the cable main was an
chored to the water pipe and the dam
ger was over. But no teams had been
able to pass into Kapiolani Park along
