Pitcher Hallman'S Wildness In the
fourth inning OF a fast twelve-ronnd
game at the Broad Street grounds
yesterday afternoon. allowed Richmond
two runs, enough to tie up the game
and cause Umpire TRULY TO call the
contest on account OF darkness
Portsmouth's two tallies came invite
FIRST half OF the initial inning. Martin
flied to Wallace and Warren sent
double to right. Sullivan then MT
10 Henron. whose error In getting the
ball on the bounce. let Martin count.
Sullivan landing on third. Butman
drew a pass, and on Cronghn's OUT
from Siebrie to Shaffer Sullivan crossed
with the second run. Butman going
to third after stealing second. FOX
drove one TO Reeve, who threw wild
to first, but Shaff made pretty stop
nnd saved another score.
Tho locals were blanked in the first
three. Reeve. frs, up in the fourth,
walked. and Hefrons choice forced
him out at second. Wallace's hit put
Hen on third. and Mailman purposely
passed Siebrie, filling the bases. The
visiting twirler failed to locate the
plate. and Kinks pass forced In a run.
Shaffer then drove terrific liner TO

md while the opposing pitcher was
trying to get his hands on the ball,
Wallace came In with the run that
sewed up the game Neither was able
to get by third after this.
\ Great Exhibition.
Both teams put up a beautiful exhi-
bition, and there We're enough thrill
Ing moments to suit the most exact
ing of the fans. Though Carter was
touched freely for a total of thirteen
hits, one OF which was three-bagger
and another a two-base drive. both py
Warren. the Duke kept them al! well
scattered. Only in the first, second
and eleventh did the Truckers get
more than one rap to free country.
Two were secured in each OF the three
mentioned. To Hallman's six passes,
Carter Issued but three. and to Hall
mans three strikeouts. Carter had
two. 1t would appear from this that
the former had the better of the argu-
ment but Carter's handling of five
chances to Hallman's two. and the
able manner In which he pulled him
self out of bad holes, made up the
difference.
The features were Reeves quick
work in getting Sullivan.s drive to
deep short to first, the holding of But
man on, third In the tenth by Kirk
patrick and then lleaving to first In
time TO get the runner. Walsh's beau
1iful running catch of Burns's high
foul and the batting of Warren. who
connected for a triple. a double and n
single. Shaffer also came into the
limelight on his jumping catch OF
Kirkpatricks high throw to first on
Burns's paste in the second. The ball
was high enough to have gone into tho
bleachers and the runner could easily
have circled the bases had Shaffer not
jumped and pulled ii In. retiring the
side.
Other good work deserving OF men
ton was Wallace's assist in cutting,
off Warren at the plate, after catch
ing Croushn's ny. One other Ports

plate by Reeves nice handling OF
Hallman's drive to short with men on

POLICE STATION MAY
BE LIGHTED BY Gas

| County Sheriff Iaukea has submitted
to him by Manager c. L. Wight of the
Honolulu Gas Co, to have the police
station lighted by gas. Wight's letter
on the subject reads as follows:
| Honolulu, Jan. 81, 1907.
Mr.. c. P. Iaukea, Sheriff of the County
of Oahu, City.
| Dear Sir:-Confirming our converse
ton as to a more economical and bet
ter method for lighting the police sta
ton, we will make you the following
proposition, namely:
We win install a complete system of
and it's offices will have more light and
a better light than at present.
We will supply what are known as
Lindsay burners, the light from each,
when turned on full force, being equi-
valent to four electric lights; and we
will guarantee that the cost for such
a light will not exceed one cent per
hour, at our maximum rate of $2.25
per thousand feet of gas.
You of course understand that the
supply of gas to these lamps can be
regulated instantly, from full power
to any degree of softness: and that the
probable large number of lights that
you will use will reduce the cost per
thousand feet to an extent such that
the expense for lighting the station
premises will be reduced materially.
In this connection, may we suggest
that we install a cooking appliance
that you may have hot water almost
instantly for surgical cases? A single
hot plate with a heating efficiency
equal to a wood stove can be installed
complete for two dollars and fifty
cents. The cost for gas per hour for
such a burner is four cents, or for
$3.50 we can supply a two-burner hot
plate, the second light having a ca
pa city of coal stove, the fuel for which
will cost eight cents per hour. We will
not ask you to pay for the cooking ap-
pliance until it has demonstrated its
usefulness. AS to the cost for the pip
ing and light we will make no charge
unless we make good our claim to a
lesser cost for lighting.
On the other hand, if we prove our
claim that gas light is the best and
cheapest light, under these clrcum- |
stances we ask that you pay us from |
month to month the difference between |
your present cost for lighting, and the
cost for gas, until the expense for in |
stallation is covered. After that time, |
of course, the only charge will be for
the gas consumed.
Very respectfully yours,
(Sgd.) HONOLULU GAS CO., LTD.
