Steal their signs.
A fine motto for leading participant
in the national pastime, is it not? And
yet it is one that, according to a veteran
big-league baseball player. is the battle
cry-privately voiced, of course, but new
ertheless faithfully worked out-of no less
than five OF the American League clubs.
1 have it on the very best of author
ity that such is the case. My informant
is a man who has talked with the manip-
ulators of the signal service in several
OF the American League cities He is a
man who knows these men personally.
He knows whereof he speaks.
Buzzer Now Obsolete.
They all do it now-aIl but two or
three" he said. "And they do it in
way that makes the famous old buzzer
of the Philadelphia Nationals look crude
and barbarous. We players now take it
for granted every time we step on the
field We arrange our plans to stop the
thieves as best we can. They do the
same by us. Quite often we know the
location of the signal bureau and make
no secret of it in our talks with the team
that maintains it. Once in a while we
find 1t necessary TO break 1t up. as Hughey
Jennings did IN New York more than a
year ago. But, as a rule, we're content
to regard It a proposition Of give and
take.
"A good Illustration of the way ball
players look at it is seen in the fact
that, despite the knowledge we all have
OF these signal pirates, none of US has
ever, sQuealed TO the authorities. We've
merely had to go to 1t in self-defense, and
turn the tables when We reached home,
by trying to improve on the systems
we've seen on the road.

Recovering
After Being Striker With ApOpIexy He
Rallies Quickly.

Wailuku was thrown into some
excitement Tuesday afternoon when
a hurry call was sent for doctor
from the district court. Citizens
hurried from all directions, and deep
concern was written on every face
when it was learned that Judge
Kepoikai had been stricken down
with apoplexy, while arguing case
before Judge. Mckay. The judge
had appeared to be in his usual
good health. He had just finished
addressing the court, and turned
toward the door, when he collapsed
and fell in his tracks without utter
ing sound. Drs. Osmers and We'd
dick both hurried to the side Of the
stricken man and together with
other willing hands worked heroi-
cally over the Judge for some time.
He was carried to his home, where
he rallied quickly, and in a remark
ably short time had regained cop-
sciousness.
The Judge was on his feet again
the next day, and his many friends
will be glad to learn that the doctors
pronounce him out of danger from
any immediate recurrence of the
trouble. He Will be confined to the
house for some time, and his hearty
laugh and cheering word will be
missed from the streets.

for the middleweight title and a
side bet Of $4,000. AS evidence Of
good faith Smith posted s5O0--or
910O in English sovereigns-with a
Sydney sporting paper. Papke,
who had evidently been watching
for just such a chance, promptly
covered the forfeit, and then Smiths
manager remarked, Everything is
in good shape, but you understand,
of course, that the weighing is to be
done at the ringside."
Papke Immediately objected, and
was strongly backed up by the
managers Of the Stadium, where
the contest was to be held. AS a
matter Of fact, Stadium folks took a
firm stand and said that under no
consideration would they handle a
championship match in which ring
side weighing was one of the condi-
tions.
Il can make the weight at the
ringside if given the necessary time, !"
explained Papke. "As it is, l must
fight at short notice in order to ad-
here to the plans | have made for
leaving Australia and l will not
take any chances of rendering my
self weak. What is more, if we
come to terms about the weight, i
will insist upon Smith wearing an
abdominal shield. | am satisfied
did not strike him a foul blow in
our last fight, and | do not want to
run the risk of being disqualified
again. +"
| While the weight matter was
still in allegiance it was learned that
Smith had demanded an exorbitant
share of the gate money. He asked
60 per cent of the gross takings, and
the Stadium managers Immediately
decided that it would be better tc
abandon the match than to handle
it on the financial basis proposed by
Smith.
| Smith came in for sharp criticism
at the hands of the Sydney critics
and began to draw in his horns
He finally suggested that the weight
should be eleven stone eleven,
ringside,' or 165 pounds. As il
was felt that both men could make
this without the least trouble, the
Stadium people agreed to have il
that way, and that was the weight
at which they fought. Regarding
the contest the only news to hand
is that Papke won by knockout in
the seventh round.

Racy Paragraphs From the Capitol On
Current Topics.
(By Oscar Brenton.

Recruiter Craig and assistants on
behalf of the Alaska Gamers Asso-
citation was as premeditated as a
small boys onslaught on the jam
pot. Witness his visit to the ISL
ands, securing office room in the
malodorous Magoon block and en-
gaging the services of a cotorie of
English speaking Filipinos and
Porto Ricans and turning them
loose. That the campaign was
worked out after the association had
been fully advised of the conditions
and probable success of the enter
prise is the opinion of the men who
know the company sending down
the expedition.
1t will be remembered that when
advices were received of the depart
ure of the Senator on secret mis-
sion~ a mission which seemed to
have but one purpose, in the minds
of those interested in labor in Ha-
waii, Craig was questioned and de-
MED all knowledge of the steamer.
Subsequent events proved him an
adept at juggling. She was here
and the captain, crew and cabin
passengers had the time of their
lives. An experience equalled only
to that of a blockade runner. So
far the recruiters have not been en-
tirely checkmated but Captain Mill
er, who is, in measure, in the
employ of the cannery bunch, is
having all that is coming to him.
Having been arrested, threatened
and held in Jail awaiting bail, one
would suppose that his punishment
fitted the crime, but today he was
startled by having papers served on
him attaching the little steamer
James Makee and his other vessels,
for a debt due H. Hackfeld & Co.
So the boats are tied up and is, to
all intents and purposes, out of the
game. AT least this is the situation
that exists and will exist until he
pungles the amount of the judgment.
| At intervals launch would shoot
out from a hidden place along the
docks and a dozen or so misguided
aliens are put aboard the steamer
which plies off and on three miles
from shore. High Sheriff Henry
Saturday attempted to serve papers
on the captain in an effort to get a
minor from the vessel. When he
reached the side and told who he
was there seemed to be nothing
doing. He was defied and he re-
turned. These men, having no res
pect for the Territorial laws, may be
proceeded against by the federal
authorities, in which case u. S. Dis
trict Attorney Breckons will be
t placed in a rather awkward position
Having been retained as assistant
counsel by the Canneries Associa-
ton he will be expected to defend
any one of the members who should
be hailed into court. But as United
States District Attorney, he may be
expected To draw the indictment by
which his client would be prose
cuted. To the average man thi:
would be a job of monumental pro-
{ portions. But to Breckons-thert
is nothing too large.
