THE DECORATIONS

Evidences of activity of the COM
mittee on decoration for the Pacific
fleet reception are becoming visible.
Palace square and streets leading to
the waterfront are overhung with tiny
streamers of red, white and blue. A
few business houses are putting up
decorations but there is nothing SO
far like the display made for the At
lantic fleet. The Alexander Young
building and Bishop street retain theil
electric light illumination fixtures

SLEUTHS
ASTRAY

Men of the United states tug Iro
quois are not as enthusiastic as some
others in regard to the coming of the
Pacific fleet on Wednesday, and the
police are the ones responsible for
this lack of hilarity.
1t appears that whenever there are
American vessels of war in this port
the detective force has it as a matter
of duty to assist in the arrest of stray
glers and their system of sleuthing
is such that they have been in the
habit of arresting several men of the
tug Iroquois almost daily OF suspi-
cion that they are stragglers from vi
sitting men-of-war, and most of the
Iroquois men have been here for
years.
This gets on the nerves of the Iro-
quois men. lhey abject to being pull
ed down to the police station and
turned inside out every time some
body with a similar number of fea-
lures and wearing a similar uniform
is missing from his ship.
| A sailor whose minute description
was furnished the police, was not Ions
ago missing and the police stopped
hack and arrested an innocent man Of
the Iroquois, on shore-leave, because
he had a broken thumb-nail which
tailed with part of the description o
the man really wanted Except that Uh'
ctba1, fa11oyv'c 1,rOlyan nail was on FIJI

rested has been here twelve years
but the "sleuths" don't know him.

Greaf Leaders Go After
 1he Very Deadly SpitbaH

Here are the opinions, briefly sum- marzed of those desiring death of the spitball:
 Harry Pulliam, president National league-'1 am against it on hygienic grounds. This thing of covering the ball with saliva Is most nauseating, most insanitary and most unsportsmanlike."
 Frank, Chance, manager Chicago Cubs -"It is la nuisance and obnoxious in ev- cry way, to say nothing of it's bad ef- fects on batting It is a pest. Some pitcher will yet hawk and spit himself into consumption over It."
 John J. McGraw, manager New York Giants-'I don't believe in any of the freak deliveries, for they frequently do as much damage as they do good"
 George Dovey. president of Boston Ma tionals-'I prefer to pass the question up'
 Manager Kelly of the Boston Nationals Just say that Kelly is mum. I want winning pitchers, no matter what curve they win by"
 Billy Murray, manager Philadelphia Na- tionals-"It hurts batting. It doesn't re- uuire any craftiness to throw 1t; it doesn't elevate the game; 1t gives lower batting averages"

danger mad sat in absolute quietude. Fisher, too, felt the danger, and came running in from right field, sent Becker to the bench and put Hickman, the flow CT of the local flock, on the slab. He even told Hickman the sort of ball Meek couldn't hit.
 Hickman took his place amid cheers and warmed up a little. Then Meek toed the plate and the crowd held it's breath. Strike one" boomed the umpire's voice. Again came the ball. Ball one" came the cry. Again. and ball two went soar ing over the air. Hickman was nervous.
 Again the little fellow wound up, and again the ball came whizzing toward Garvin's big init. Meek braced himself and met the ball squarely on the nose The crowd held its breath for a minute looking anxiously for the ball. Then out in right field Fisher was seen running wildly towards the fence. He reached the wall, stopped, and threw up his hands in a jesture of despair The ball scared high over the fence and outside the lot.
 Meek trotted slowly around the bases while the three runners on the bases trotted ahead of him. And even the most rabid Mobile fans were obliged to give the big hearty fellow a cheer as he trotted soberly across the plate with the run that put a crimp in their chances of winning
 Meek had at last found his own.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-08-28

The Mobile Herald thus graphically de- scribes the home run of Henry Meek:
 All this time big Meek was saving wood and saying nothing, save an oc- casional encouraging word to the young CT who was doing the f1inging and working bravely in the face of seeming certain defeat.
 On the eighth Meek had an opportunity, but again, he couldn't meet the ball squarely, and the drive dropped into Woodie Thorntons glove in deep center. But in spite of the fact that this made the second out in the inning, Meeks teammates landed three singles and triple in a row and three runs came over. was only one more inning left.
 The ninth opened and the Gull root CTS were in the act of leaving the grounds. Then Larsen, first man up for the Meek tribe, went safe on James error. Raub went in to hit for Robinson and dropped one safe over first. Henline hit to pitch CT and Larsen was caught at third. Downey singled through Watson and the bases were filled.
 Then came Meeks opportunity and he swore to himself that he'd make good or bust. He gathered a bat some 40 inches long and strode plateward determined to hit that ball safe or die trying. The crowd seemed to feel the approaching

 Fred Clarke. manager Pittsburg club I'm willing to take my chances with any balls pitched, wet or dry"
 Napoleon Lajoie. manager Cleveland club-"It drags on the vitality of the pitcher and is obnoxious to the spec tators''
 James McAleer manager of the St Louis Browns-"It Is uncertain on it's breaks. It is a terror to catchers It causes wild throws by backstoppers and infelders. The continued moistening makes the ball dead"
 Norman Elberfeld, manager New York Americans-'I favor 1t. Players will eventually solve the problem of hit ting it."
 James T. Mcclure manager Boston Americans-"Let it stay. To abolish it would kill pitchers who are winning right along"
 Hugh Jennings manager Detroit club Rule it out It is disgusting to players It delays the game. It causes errors by the felders."
 Joe Cantillion, manager Washington club-'It makes batting meager and wor- ries catchers with it's uncertain breaks.H

of the second contest, poked out single to start the fourth inning, but 1t was not until three innings later that he accom- plished much with his willow, although he singled again in the sixth, Downey also bingling in that inning.
 Leo Huber, working at short in NIT ' place, (Nll being forced to play center l while Bris Lord is laid up from a strain) gave a grunt of distress when Walters walloped a roller in his direction in the fifth. The official scorer gave Walters a hit, but the fans figured it as Huber s boot.
 It was in the disappointing seventh that Huber waxed wobbly. Walters sent wicked bounder in his direction after one was out The Barons raised their voices in vicious protest when Smith was called out on Rohe's fielding his bounder to first just previous to Walters clout. Huber threw wildly to first and Walters wandered swiftly to second, Baronic grief charging quickly to joy at the wild chuck And then Larsen doubled, facing the leather to left along the line and scoring Walters. Robinson grounded out to Fritz but Helines third hit scored Larsen. Downey walked fill- ing the bases, but the third out was made when Raub rolled to Rohe.

He has made the expletive famous, in the domain in which he reigns, and has used 1t so much that 1t may cause his death.

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

New York August 27.-One of the most exciting races in history for the N>tional league pennant took on added interest yesterday by the drawing still closer to- gether of the clubs in the three cornered contest. The New York team, fresh from a clean sweep of the series in Pittsburg, and run of seven consecutive victories, which had put them in the lead In the race, met with a check in Chicago, where the champions gave them a decisive beating. At the same time the Pittsburg team won a hotly contested game from Philadelphia, and with Chi cago, moved up a little closer to New York. This team has a margin of "A points over Pittsburg, while the latter team is but two points ahead of Chi cago.
 Baseball enthusiasts, believing that the present series in the two cities will have probably decisive bearing on the out come of the pennant race are worked up to fever heat
 Intense interest in the play is mani- fested in all parts of the country, and even beyond it's borders. How wide spread Is the hold of the national game in it's present exciting phase is indi- cated by the demand from the Island of Cuba, for instance of all particulars from the games, full box scores of the series between the leaders being cabled by the Associated Press each night to Havanna.

HUGHES IS CHOICE

New York, August N.-Wllliam R.

Wilcox. MT. Wilcox was at Fair haven, Mass, where he was stopping on his way back from the White Mountains. In his dispatch he said:
 T am unalterably in favor of the nom- ination of Governor Hughes. The story sent out to the contrary effect, is en- tirely without foundation and without my knowledge Governor Hughes is the logi- cal candidate and I make the prediction that he will be the nominee of the Sara- toga convention"
