NEW LEAGUE
MAKES FINE START
KAKAAKO ATKINSON PARK PRO
Misses TO BE THE SCENE OF
GOOD BALL GAMES.

Sport for sports sake" was the
watchword last night at the meeting
of the new Atkinson Baseball League
at the government stables at Kakaako.
Jack" Atkinson, Charlie Hustace and
Sam Johnson were there with many
more people who are interested in the
national game. There are five teams
in the Atkinson League, composed of
players that some day will be seen in
faster company.
The following teams are in the new
league: Ocean Views, H. Walker cap
tain and Mahuka manager; Stars, e..
Macfarlane captain and Nigel Jack
son manager; Brewery, H. Kalowena
captain and Joe Kaaha manager; Po-
lice, Joe Leal captain and A. p. Taylor
manager; Sanitary Steam Laundry, J..
r. Souza captain and M. H. Honan
manager.
En- Sue, the crack player of the St..
Louis team, was elected umpire, while
G. NJ. Addison was elected scorer. N.
Jackson was elected manager for the
league. The following officers were
elected: Col Sam Johnson president,
A. L. c. Atkinson, secretary; Joseph
Leal, treasurer, and Nigel Jackson
manager. In the new bylaws a rule
that is distinctly new in baseball here
was adopted and that is a penalty for
using vulgar or obscene language by
any player. The penalty is either a
fine or expulsion from the league. The
games will be played every Sunday
morning at the Kakaako grounds, and
from the attendance in the past should
be much larger at the end of the season
than any of the other leagues that are
at present playing in the islands
Each team in the league will be
allowed eighteen players and any other

player wishing to join the League will
have to receive a two-thirds vote from
the other members of the league be-
fore he can become a member At the
end of the season a gold medal will be
presented to the player who has the
best batting average and a silver one
to the one who has the best record
for stealing bases.
This is something new in baseball
here, but the Atkinson League is COM
posed of players who are original in
their ways Charles Hustace, Jr., who
has presented the league with a cup,
was present last night and made a
speech that will not be forgotten for
some time to come by those that were
present. AT the conclusion of his
speech he was given three rousing
cheers and a tiger. After Hustace had
made his speech, Col. Sam made the
presentation speech when the Hustace
Cup was formally given to the new
League. When the band returns from
their vacation they will play at the
new park in honor of the league.

how he stood on the question of call
ers. DR.. Crisman made a ruling tc

Honolulu might properly be called
the City Of Early Morning Noises. In
some progressive civilized communities
milk wagons and other vehicles which
have to make early rounds are required
by law to have rubber tires and to do
their business silently. Here there is
a series every morning of noisy wagons
with government wagons as the worst
offenders, which ought not to be toler-
ated. The garbage department is the
worst. At about FIVE in the morning
it sends forth lot of big carts, with
out springs and with high wooden
Sides Every plank and bolt in every
cart appears to be loose, and as the
horses or mules trot along in the ap-
proach of dawn they make a rumpQs
that can be heard for blocks. Then
come the milk wagons, ice wagons,
swill wagons,-all of them noisy, rat
thing vehicles, with now and then a
light spring wagon loaded with tin
cans, or a cart laden with ducks piled
three or four deep and all of them
protesting. Talk about the awaken
ing of great city, A friend who lives
on Punchbowl street tells me that Ho-
nolulu beats any metropolis he ever
was in for noise, and that if the gar
bage carts used here did their stunt in
some places they would be in danger or
being mobbed.

Governor Frear said that Wallach
might have an audience if he asked
for it," That sentence in a recent pa
per gave me a mental picture of F'rear
and Wallach in confab, before the
confab took place. those who know
something of both might enjoy being
present at an interview between the
two Wallach is by no means fool.
He is bright and shrewd to a degree.
In the oral battle in the legislature, if
the published reports of the discussion
may be trusted, he certainly outgen-
eralled all the legislators who tried to
discuss matters with him. Governor
Frear, on the other hand, has just the
sort of incisive mind that is fitted to
cope with Wallach. My personal OPT
Mon is that Wallach is a clever graft
ing quack. If I heard of him going to
make a call on the governor, should
expect the interview to be nearly all
| Wallach's talk. Frear has a way of
asking incisive questions which very
soon embarrass a fake.

My friend Chester Doyle is credited
with making the best suggestion have
yet heard, to settle the Wallach matter.
IF wallach can cure leprosy," says
this genius, 'let him be innoculated
with the disease and given a chance
to cure himself. 1t is easy to give him
leprosy, and if this plan is followed,
there will be no danger of other peo-
pie suffering from use of his remedies,
which may be harmful. If he is so
sure of being able to cure it, he ought
not to object to the experiment, in the
interest of humanity. Many noble
physicians have taken similar risks
and why not Wallach?"

told me such talk was too strong, and
1 wasn't allowed to insist. Yet it is
true. Our oranges grow at all sea-

that is needed to make them in the

Since l have adopted the city idea

making known what / desire to dis
pose of at or about cost to make room
for new goods-my sales have not
only increased very largely with regu-
lar customers, but | have secured
many new ones. Not only this-in-
stead of the farmers wives spending
from a half to an hour and a half look
inS about the store to see what there
is in stock they may want and taking
the clerks time who otherwise would
have a chance to sell goods to several
other customers. they come in and
ask for the very articles they have
seen advertised and which they have
already decided they do want from
seeing the advertisement in this week
ly paper. and the result is have been
able 20 dispense with one of my clerks
to whom was paying $500 per year"

this same kind OF advertising during
the year will. he is confident. increase
his trade so per cent. and that he can
already name 2S customers who but

goods almost entirely from Chicago

a great fact in life. Even the fashions
take account of it, until women are
found doing up their hair in such a
way that they may go the speed limit
without fear of its coming down. And
the best of hurry is that it is its own
sufficient justification. Nobody ex-
poets hurry to have any particular
