Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 29-Very
little of importance occurred during
the sessions of the General Assembly
this morning. Both houses were at
work but the sessions were without
general interest.
In the House the time was mainly
devoted to the consideration of local
and unimpOrtant measures while the
Senate was busy considering the gem
eral appropriation bill passed on yes
terday in the House. There were
general and wholesale increases
made, the salaries of many OF the
clerks being raised from the figures
fixed in the House bill.
The provision in the act granting
the members an extra compensation
of $500 each and known as the grab,
was not reached in the Senate this
morning. When it is there is sure to
be fight but the indications now are
that it will be passed.
The latest rumor in circulation in
political circles today is to the effect
that the Senate will hold up this $500
appropriation of grab as club with
which to force the House members in
line for the Nashville charter and
the Baxter-Leach election law lnfa-
my. In other words it is said to be
the plan Of the Senate leaders to give
notice to the House majority that I'M
less the Nashville charter bill Is en-
acted and the election law goes
through over the veto of the Cover
nor there will be nothing doing IN the
grab line. Whether or not any def
mite decision to play these desperate
tactics has been reached cannot be
|ascertained but it is certain that the
tmatter is Under discussion. Should
any play of this character be made it
would create the biggest scandal of
all the big scandals of the session.

new schedule of transcontinental rates
which will readjust the ratio to the
advantage of interior points as against

The rates to the interior, while
higher than those to the coast, have
been shaped to the percentage fixed
by the commission. The effect is To
raise the rates to the Pacific seaport

extent the existing schedules to the
interior points.

CAMEL PLAYED
IN THE HAWAIIS
Rochester Manager Had a
Ball Team on Island.

Manager John Camel of the Rochester
team vas instrumental some years back
in putting the Hawaiian Islands on the
baseball map. Sixteen years ago Camel
went to the islands. and while there
helped to organize and manage the first
team that gave the Hawaiians the first
start in baseball A copy of a Hawaiian
newspaper received here recently tells
how the former Red Leg manager helped
to install baseball in the Pacific islands.
John CAMEL is one of the topnotchers
in national baseball circles and is doing
well. He was quite a young man when
he came hele in 1S94-about seventeen
or eighteen. l think. but he was quite
a player even then, and during his two
years residence in this city gave evidence
that he had the makings OF a brilliant
future
He did not come here just to play
baseball, though, for he was a good car
penter. and with his brother. Fred, was
engaged in building operations. The
baseball revival struck US about that
time and Camel came to the front with
other lovers OF the sport, and in 1895 he
got the Stars organized. James Thomp-
son also got busy and rounded up the
club called the Unknowns, which soon
belie1 it's name, giving the Stars and
the EamehamehaS, which also entered
the field, some good trounclngs once IN
a while.
The three clubs were pretty evenly
matched, and there were some fine
games, I can tell you, just as exciting
as any OF to-day. The Stars consisted
OF Lionel Hart, pitcher; Harry Wilder,
catcher; Camel, first base; ]. o. Carter,
second base; Samuel Woods, third base;
w. Wilder, shortstop; w. c. Wilder, jr.,
right field; George Angus, center fed,
and D. McNichol, left field.
The Cnknowns had Woods for pitcher;
Aiwohi, catcher; Willis, first base;
Thompson, second base; Clark, third
base; Pryce, shortstop; Miranda, right
heId White, center field, and Duncan,
left field
Lemon was pitcher for the Kane
hamehas: Pahan. catcher; Davis, first
base; Mahuka, second base; Ahio. third
base Bridges, shortstop: Lawelawe, right
field; Crowell, centsrheld, and Aea, left
field
I'VE also have reason to extend our
aloha to Camel for being among the
Citizens Guard in 1S95-iD the days OF the
'rebellion'-when an attempt was made
to overthrow the republic OF Hawaii.
which, though unsuccessful, took men Of
nerve and bravery to face the peril.
After leaving Honolulu Camel played
ball on big league teams, and by the
time he became manager of the Cincin-
natIs in 1905 was regarded by the mag
mates as one of their best leaders, know
ing good material and successful in
building up winning aggregations."

In the outfield we have Dutch Stuckert,

is about the best throwing receiver in
the District and picked by many to be
the best all-around catcher in Washing

the hurting, with Capt. GuZza to fall
back on. CassaSa, the old timer, will
hold down first and Vic Guzza will play
second In short We have Chaconas OF

season, but when the ghost failed to
walk. home came Tony a-trotting.
This would be some series, and when
all arrangements are completed, the fans
will have a chance to see some real
ball playing by three teams, composed or
players of the same race. something that
has never been seen here before

Now that the rost-season series Is
over, why not play a series of games be-
tween aIl-IFish, alderman, and aIl-Ital-
ian teams.
This series would be a corker in more
than one way. Every nationality is rep
resented in the amateur leagues of the
District, and the foregoing teams were
picked at random. Three good ball clubs
could be gotten together and some fast
games would be played
The Italian team has been sounded and
they are willing to play the games, and
now IT is up to the other clubs
Look over the Irish team. for they
seem to have the call on paper. Murphy,
OF Silver Spring, is a good receiver and
a hard hitter. Bernie Gallagher, Of the
Cornell Tigers, is one of the best twirlers
in the District George Mullin is put on
first for his hitting. and he sure can kill
the speed. On second We have Jack
Hurley, Of the AIoysius club. Here is
the best second sacker in the city. Ted
Sullivan, OF Petworth and the Pepco
teams, is placed in short, not only for
his fielding but for bis hitting as we'll
On third we have another Sullivan. This
one played third for Aloysius club during
the entire season. and he proved that he
was able to deliver the goods. In the
outfield We have REILLY, of the Aloyslus
club; brennan, Of the same team, In CEN
ter, and MuIvey. OF the Andrews ag-
gregation, in right. This makes fast
trio of out-fielders, and they are all good
stIckers.
Chris Feinle, tie star twirler of the
Bankers, is picked for the German hurler
with Munich. Of the Sewage Pumping
station team; behind the bat. Both OF
these ball tossers are too well known
to need any introducing to the public.
Gertman, of the Post-office, is the first
sacker OF the Dutch team, and better
man would be hard to find. Riston, OF
the Southland team, is picked for second
on his well-known ability to slam the
ball. Nau, of the Park View aggrega-
tion, will be seen in the shortheld,
while Harry Shalin, of the Walford club

verdict Of the fans, and there were some

The feature of putting out the two

victory in the final more to Heyburn's
mistakes than to his own good playing.

scores, rain began to fall before the
match had gone one hole, and though II

anything but favorable for the greater
