FUNNY BUSINESS
AT AALA PARK

There seems to be monkey business
going on down in the Riverside League
ut Aala Park. The players and the
games in this League are tremendously
popular and the supporters of each
team take the series very much to
heart. The consequence is that there
is considerable betting done IN a qulet
way and this opens the way for that
lowest of unsportsmanlike business,
throwing a game.
The directors of the League are de-
termined to put a stop to anything
# this sort and most of the players
are too good sportsmen to stand for
it fer a second. Honolulu has name
all over the worlL for being the home
of true amateur sport and any such
business will put the kibosh on the
Riverside League in short order.
1t seems that several players in the
Palama team last Sunday We're so dis
gusted that they resigned. Mr.. A. K.
Vierra, vice president of the League
and sportsman who is above suspl-
cion of prejudice says, The game be
tween the Palamas and the Japanese
A. Cs ON Sunday will probably result
in disaster for the Palamas. Some
of the players have resigned on ac-
count of the tactics used by players
in that game.
'"Ihe League officials are getting
busy in securing evidence by which a
stop will be put to this kind of un-
sportsmanlike methods; and, If they
insist on keeping up those fancy tricks,
the ball fans of the city Will, IN all
probability, see no more baseball on
our public grounds.
'eThose who were in any way IN
rested in the outcome Of the game,
will see that the League is absolutely
irresponsible for the action of the
players alluded to. The League has
7lablished a precedent which shall
continue under its laws, whereby base
oan in the Riverside League shall be
for sport sake only and in no way
n monetary consideration Of any
sort.
1.-THE League will meet on Thursday
night and charges win be preferred
against certain players and, if the facts
be established, those players VIII be
barred from the League.
1t is TO be depiored that this kind
of work has crept into the Aala Park
Baseball circles, for Honolulu has al
ways been proud of her amateur play
ers and has claimed that there we have
the greatest aggregation of amateur
sportsmen of all nationalities IN the
world. Fortunately the best Of ME
are at the head Of the League and
we may feel assured that the atmos-
phere will be cleared and all the bad
ones kicked out.

RAIN PERMITS MORE
SLUICING At NUUANU
%Ftsa.a. a.

- b22aAa- -
There was enough rain in the upper
Nuuanu valley on Sunday night to
supply water for two days sluicing
without encroaching on the city s
water supply. The level of the watel
in reservoir No. was raised nine
inches.
Sluicing with the rainfall of August
II only stopped last Thursday, so that
after an interval of three days sluic
ing was begun again.
The telephone line to the dam was
out of order last night SO that no re
port of the amount of last night s
rainfall could be secured. Superin-
tendent Marston Campbell said, how
ever, that he did not think there had
been much rainfall up there. The
showers last night, which were very
generous down town, he believed were
mainly confined to the city and did
not extend up to the reservoir and dam.
The weather yesterday was exees-.
sively hot, the humidity being high.
There was slight precipitation at in
tervals throughout the day, and soon
after in the evening there was a
heavy downpour in most parts of the
city.

Lighthouse Tender Kukui.
The new lighthouse tender named
the Kukui, and especially designed for
service in Hawaiian waters, will prob
ably reach here sometime in January,
1909 The vessel is said to have been
especially designed for comfort in the
local climate, and also for working
around the reefy shores of the various
islands. 1t is understood that provi-
sion will be made to ship several Ha-
waiian sailors on the Kukui and whale
boats, similar to those used by the In
ter-Island Company as tenders for their
steamers win be built and used to shoot
the rough landing places. The light
house service recognizes that no bettr
men can be secured for this hazardous
service than Hawaiians.

BERGER'S MUSIC IS
PLAYED IN BERLIN
Hoch der Berger!


Captain Berger s Hawaiian compost
tons have got to Berlin. The kapell-
meister figures now in company with
Schubert, Goldmark, Saint Saens, Wag-
ner and other composers of that rank.
A program of a concert given in Ber-
lin by the band of the Kaiser Franz
G;ude-G renadier- Regiment has been re-
celved here on which appears two Ha-
wsiian songs.
The concel t is one of a series of
summer concerts given by military
bands, which besides the one mention
ell above, includes the Koenigin Au-
gusta Garde- GrenadierR Regiment, the
hr-Infanterie-B Battalion, the Garde-

(a) A hi velu (Ich grusse dieh);
(b) A lie huve {Heisse Liebe).
The first of these songs is undoubt-
edly "Ahiwela The other is prob
ably "Aloha Oe'', but it would take
a philologist to figure it out exactly
from that spelling.

MAIL DISTRIBUTION At
SEA IS TOO EXPENSIVE

The Postofice Department is not yet
prepared to undertake the distribution
of mail to aud from this Territory on
board steamers. Governor Frear re-
ceived letter yesterday from AS
sistant Postmaster General Grandfeld
to the effect that the cost of this pre-
cludes its being undertaken at present.
1t is a matter that has bern agitated
frequently, and some time ago the COM
mercial bodies of the city memorialized
the postoffice department on the sub
iect. It was one of the matters also
presented to Secretary Garfield when
he was here.

WHO IS c. G. SOPER, OUR
PIONEER ISLAND ATHLETE

SPOKANE, Wash, August 15.-C.
G. Soper, merchant of Honolulu, who
in his day was the foremost athlete on
the islands, was in Spokane, August Is
and IA on the way to Chicago, and
while here he visited the Chamber of
Commerce and the Spokane Amateur
Athletic Club, where he renewed ac-
quaintance with a number of men he
knew years ago.
Mr.. Soper is a pioneer of American
sports in Honolulu. He made baseball
a game worth the while among the
kanakas, and gave them their first
taste of college football. He was also
Instrumental in introducing polo and
there is hardly modern game that
he did not try to impress upon the
pleasure-loving natives. Since his
heyday, Charlie Dole and EBrick =
Whitehouse have come TO the front.
In the course of chat at the club
Mr.. Soper said:
Baseball is established there now.
1t needs no extra inducement to get
the crowd these days, and they have
some good players among the natives.
With football it is different. The
islands have furnished America with
two or three grand players, but as
rule the native would rather swim than
play football. At my age, GA years, I
can see where they are right, Polo
is confined almost entirely to the riel
Americans and Englishmen, and will
never take with the kanakas.
Regarding the islands Mr.. Soper said
that Mr.. HI. P. Wood and his assistants
are doing much real promotion work

md as result of it many of the
wealthy grain and fruit growers of the
Pacific States viii visit Honolulu next
fall and winter. He added:
While coming through the Big
Bend and Palouse belts in the Spokane
country, where 100000 bushels of
wheat were harvested last year, I met
some of the bonanza farmers and they
mentioned that they viii lay a PROPOSE
tlon before Frederick E. Goodall, presi-
lent OF the Spokane chamber of com
merce, soon to arrange an excursion
TO Honolulu next winter This, | un-
understand, is the result of several let,
ters written by Mr.. Wood to friends
in Spokane, who are now at work in
teresting the farmers and others.
Il believe that every man, who is
financially able to do so and has the
time should join this excursion, if it j
ranged, and I feel, too, that it will
result in much good and better the
ever increasing trade relations From
what I can learn there are no financial
difficulties in the Inland Empire of
the Pacific Northwest and everybody
seems to be happy and prosperous. y
Mr.. soper will stop off in Spokane on
his return from Chicago, in month
or six weeks and speak at a meeting
of the board of trustees of the cham
Der of commerce, pointing out the at
fractions and resources of Hawaii and
what Honolulu has to offer for the tour
lists as well as the man seeking invest
ments and trade.
ION inquiry yesterday no one could
be found in Honolulu who knew of c.

MARINE

Fourteen of the seventeen vessels
comprising the Pacific Fleet will come
directly into the harbor on arrival
Wednesday, leaving three outside.
When three of the vessels at the
wharves finish coaling, they viii go to
the outside anchorage and be replaced
by the other three The naval wharves,
the Alakea street dock, Channel wharf
and the Oceanic deck win all be used
by the fleet, the flagship West Vir-
ginia occupying a berth at the Ala
kea street wharf. The torpedoboat de-
stroyers viii occupy berths at the
naval docks. The docks are being
piled high with coal so that the first
vessels viii lose no time in getting
their supplies of fuel. Captain Rees,
commandant of the naval station, says
that the Tennessee will probably be
at the Oceanic dock. A Washington
dispatch concerning the fleet IS depar-
ture reads as follows:
WASHINGTON, August 23.-On1y
less important than the cruise of the
great Atlantic battleships, the cruise
of part of the Pacific feet, which will
begin tomorrow, viii have it's own inn
portant results. Rear Admiral Will
liam T. Swinburne having informed
Acting Secretary of the Navy Pills
bury that everything was in readiness,
has been ordered to sail Monday, choos-
ing the hour for his departure. He
will have seven of the biggest and
fastest armored cruisers in his fleet,
besides the torpedo division of the Pa
cifc fleet. Of 1000 additional blue
jackets rushed across the continent to
complete the quota $50 have arrived
and $50 more from Norfolk are due
today. On their arrival at Oakland
they are to be rushed to their ships.
Sailing orders are that officers and men
are to be at their posts by midnight
Sunday This will be the first time so
big feet of armored cruisers will have
taken voyage of such length. There
viii be continuous drill, battle maneu-
vers and tactics. It was expected that
there would be battle maneuvers by
the Atlantic fleet, but these have been
omitted on account of delays incident
to them and desire to get to Ma
Mia for target practice. Admiral
Swinburne. however, viii indulge in
extensive battle practice at Honolulu
or Somoa.

The great hawsers, ten-inch rope and
fve-ineh steel cable which will be
used by the seven armored cruisers
when they leave today for Honolulu
and Samoa in towing the torpedoboat
destroyers were the object of much in
terest by the crowds which visited the
men-of-war in the bay yesterday.
The cruise win begin at 10 O'Clock
this morning, when the signal to up
anchor viii be flashed down the line
from the flagship West Virginia. The
cruisers will go out in single-column
formation, the seven torpedoboat de-
strovers being strung out to starboard.
Outside the cruisers viii take their
tows in charge and will not drop them
until Honolulu is reached. The auxl-
iary boat Solace, which is the supply
ship for the little destroyers, will ae-
company the feet.-Chronicle, Aug. "A,

Oriental Day for Manchuria.

It was Oriental day yesterday at the
departure of the steamship ManchGrla
for Yokohama and HongkOng. Tor an
hour and half before the vessel was
timed to leave at $50 p. M, crowds
assembled upon the dock, and fully
nlnt ty per cent of them were Jaoarese.
They were prodigal with their leis aud
many of the departing japanese pas
sengers were so heavily laden that 1T
was difficult for them to walk up the
ganoway. The steamer s decks were
Uttered with blossoms. The Kelo base
ballers were literally encircled with
leis and friends trooped to bid them
farewell. The Keios carried their beau
tiful embroidered banner and exhibited
If over the rail, and in addition took
away as trophy large st Louis
Alumni banner. The st. Louis, Dla-
mond Head and Kamehameha team boys
were numerous, with sprlnkIlng or
Punahous Then came the cadets OF
the Japanese training ship Talsel Maru
in their natty white uniforms with gilt
buttons, each one carrying fan, the
envy of the foreign males, for it was
quite warm.
AS the vessel slipped her mornings
the Keio boys yelled for each team IN
succession. concluding with burst OF
baazais. and then at the psychological
moment Jack Doyle, official rooter Tor
the Keios. with a lei about his neck,
mounted a pile of boxes, swept has Pa1te
anna through the air and started the old
veil which brought frequent victory TO
the stranger team. The yell was a full
volumed one.
