GETS JOB
CONTRACT FOR ALAKEA STREET
WHARF SHED WILL BE GIVEN
LOCAL CONTRACTOR.

The contract for the building of the
shed which is to be placed on the Ala
kea street wharf, and for which the
Legislature appropriated the sum of
$4,000, will be awarded to John Oud-
erkirk, according to a statement made
by Superintendent of Public Works
Campbell this morning. While the
bid made by Ouderkirk was some
$4,000 above the amount remaining in
the appropriation. the plans will be
changed where it can be done in or
der that his bid may come within the
$43, 900 now available.
According to Campbell the work is
of great importance to the city, as at
present, with the open wharf, no
freight can be landed there that is of
a perishable character, which practi-
cally destroys the usefulness of the
structure. The work will be COM
menced as soon as possible and rushed
through to completion.

The negotiations for the opening of

The approval of the Governor will also
be needed before the deal is completed

The following is from the Annua
Report of the Secretary of the Navy,
filed in Washington December IL:
"The department regards the imme-
diate development of base at Pearl
Harbor as a matter of the highest inn
portance. Congress at its last session
authorized the construction of dry
dock at the naval station Pearl Hay
Dor, Hawaii, the limit of cost being
fixed at $2,OOO,0OO. This sum would
provide a dock approximately $50 feet
long. In view of the geographical
situation of this dock and in consider
alton of it's great Importance to naval
efficiency in the Pacific, the conclusion
has been reached, after careful con-
sideration of the matter, that it should

be heightened by about 800 feet, and
should be so designed as to accommo-
date more than one vessel at time.
In other words it is believed that a
dock approximately LAO feet in length
capable of accommodating a battle
ship of an extreme length of 564 feet
and at the same time another ship of
536 feet in length, is demanded and
would be wise, farseeing, and eco
nomical provision, al things being
taken into account. A dry dock Of
this size will cost more money than
has been appropriated for this purpose
and legislative authority will therefore
be required if the limit of cost be so
changed. The matter will be present
ed to Congress at its approaching ses-
sion"

MARQUARD IS CONFIDENT.

Rube Marquard, who went to New York to join McGraw's team at the flag end of the recent fall season, and who did not set the town on fire in spite of the fact that John l. Brush said he paid $11 900 for his release, has not lost confidence In himself, judging by these remarks: "I was nervous and in poor form in the only game I pitched for the Giants last fall and got just what was coming to me, but I believe that by starting in with McGraws team in Texas next spring and by hustling hard I should be able to make good start. l realize that I am going against bet ter batsmen than I faced in the American association, but I will have superior support, and if do my share in keeping the opponents hits down will have no kick coming. I am getting heavier and figure that the weoight I am putting on will do me good I am no loafer in a training camp and it's cinch that I'll not be pound overweight when we come back from Texas

 While we are not looking for war and hope to settle the present diffi- culty amicably, nevertheless there Is just one way that it can be settled peaceably, and that is for organized base ball to give us what we ask fol of the American asso- ciation and Eastern league as superior organizations to all other base leagues outside of the majors"

EVER'S BASEBALL DEBUT.

Johnny Evers, the peer of all the second seekers, got into professional baseball in a queer manner. He was living in Troy, N. Y., at the time and attended game out at the park, During the game Johnny, who was seated in the bleachers, was. called upon by Manager Barron, of the Troy club, to take the place of the second baseman, who became i'll. Johnny consented and put up erackerjack game. He was then regularly en- gagged by the Troy management, and that fall Selee, of the Boston club. bought Evers and Pitcher Hardy. At Philadelphia Link Lowe, the Boston's second baseman, got hurt, and Selee wired Evers to come on. Johnny jumped a train and arrived in New York. Having never ridden so far before, he was bewildered. He didn't even know what a sleeper vas. and had sat up all night. He hung about the Forty-second street station in his innocence, waiting for a train to take him to Philadelphia. until a trainman told him to go to Jersey City. Here Evers took the cars to the Quaker city, arriving there in the afternoon. He was put into double-header, though sleepy and tired as he was. and Johnny chalked up four errors in the two games. After that he played twenty-three errorless games, and was the talk of the baseball world.

Corbett was invited to join the team on the training trip next spring and Chance offered him sub stantial salary if he cared to take 1t.
 Chance is familiar with the playing of the clever twirler and thinks he has but few superiors on the dia- mond.

THE HORSES
Millions of Dollars Lost By Proper. ty Owners Because of New

New York. Nov 24.-Since the close of the racing season in this state leading turfmen have been try ing to figure out just what effect the Agnew-Hart law has had upon the sport. While the courts must pass upon various points of vital in- terest before line can be had on the future, 1t is a fact that unless there is some way to permit speeu- lation among individuals without open bookmaking racing can never be revived. Consequently with rac- ing dead in the state of New York 1t canpot be expected to live any great length of time in those states which so far have not adopted ad- verse legislation.
