Didn't 1 tell you to let me have
'em? raved O'Neil.
The Crab walked back to his
position in silence. The stands
were in a terrific uproar.
They're gone" whooped Dillon.
They're all up in the air! Hit
'em down to the undertaken at
third! On. you Grab! When you
going to bury that wing?"
Cullen, the next hitter, turned
on the ball and poked it slowly
down the third base line. The
Grab anticipated the play, and, rae
ing in, scooped the ball into his
glove, and, changing hands, turn
ed for the throw.
In the old days it would have
been ridiculously easy. Joe Hol-
mes groaned as he saw the evident
effort with which the old fellow
whipped his arm forward, and
then all other sounds were swal-
lowed up in one wild yell from the
bleachers.
The Crabs throw was ten feet to
the left of the bag, and Carsey had
to make a quick sprint to get his
glove on the ball. Mullaley, the
best base runner on the Maroon
club, was on second, and Cullen
was on first. Small wonder the
Chicago fans stood up and shout
ed
What did 1 tc'i you? scream
ed Dillon, racing up and down off
first base. What did l tell !ou?I
He's going to throw EN- all away"
The Crab walked back toward
third base With his head or his
chest. oh, IL he lad rnly gone
home in the beginning He might
have been spy 'ed the humiliation
of slrll a pitiful exb'I ton. He
would not be remembered for the
games which he .ad wcn III the
past, bu, For the che which he was
helping to lose. Then, high over
the tumult Of the CheG,'ng, he
heard Carsey's voice:
Come on, boy! Brace up and
fight 'em! They haven't even got
her tied up yet! -
Evans, the next man up, tried
to hit a ball through third, count
ing on an error. 1t was a sharply
hit ground ball, ten feet inside the
foul line, and straight at the Crab.
Gilman took one quick back
ward step and dropped both his
hands. The ball struck with a
solid thud, and almost before the
crowd knew what had happened,
the Crab whirled and launched
himself through the air, straight
at the flying Mullaley.
The baseball reporters said that
the Crab jumped twenty feet from
a standing start. Perhaps few
feet should have been allowed for
momentary excitement, but there
was no question about Mullaley
being tagged out. The Crab got
him so far away from the base that
there was never any argument
about it, though Mullaley howled
bitterly.
"G'wan!" said the umpire. eff
he'd tagged you any harder he'd
have broken you in two!!"
Kenyon came over after the ball
and threw one arm about the
third baseman's neck.
That's the boy!" said he. "You
are the best third baseman in this
league yeti"
Then, with Bowers at bat, and
two gone, Dillon did the only thing
a man could do. He signed Bowers
to hit IL out and take chance,
and Bowers was the best hitter on
the team. Cullen was now on sec
ond, and Evans was on first. A
single would tie the score, a double

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-06-03

Manila Cablenews-American: There
is a good deal of soreness in the vi
cinity of Honolulu just now over the
attempt of some labor agents from
Alaska to get a shipload of laborers
for the frozen north. 1t will be re-
membered that recently a number of
Filipinos and other laborers in Hawaii
were persuaded to embark on the Ko-
rea en- route to Alaska. When the yes
sci reached the coast the laborers
jumped their contract and refused to
proceed.
The people of Hawaii are now much
wrought up over the question of the
Alaskan canneries enticing away their
laborers. The Territorial legislature
passed law to prevent any further
activities of labor agents in Hawaii,
Nothing is said, however, or any eff
fort to prevent the activities of the
Hawaiian agents in other countries.
1t must not be assumed that the Ha.
waiians are so devoid of sense of
humor ais not to see the inconsistency
of their position. They do see it and
feel somewhat ridiculous. Neverthe-
less, they put on bold face and fight

ing the schoolmaster to the Filipinos
recruited for the sugar fields of that
country. They are taught say Ha,
waits spokesman, an industry that
they can practice when they return
to their own country with profit.
On the other hand, they say, the
Alaskan agent did misrepresent con.
ditions and altogether acted dishon-
orably with the laborers recruited.
We are not so sure but that the
Hawaiians are right in the matter of
education. 1t probably will do the
Filipino laborer good to have his no,
rizon widened and to learn how they
make sugar in Hawaii, but, consider.
ing the scarcity of labor in these is
lands there is some doubt as to
whether the country can afford at
present to have its laborers educated
in Hawaii. 1t might be a good thing
for the country, economically, to fol.
low the example of Hawaii and get
after the exporters of our labor

might, indeed, decoy the proprietor of
an unoffending and humble cafe in the
Mission district to sell herself and es-
cort drink upon the strength of a
statement that she intended mo-
mentarily to order food, but cannot
see that this is either dignified bust
ness for the department to be engaged
in or that justice itself is thereby
much glorified.
81 believe the taxpayers want their
police officers to devote their time to
suppressing actual crime, failing fell
ons and keeping good order through
out the city. l do not believe that cur
citizens want their employees engaged
in petty crusades to ensnara liquor
merchants in minor infraction to the
ultimate scandal of a great and re-
spected residence locality which had
all along borne a spotless reputation.
'In view of the foregoing facts,
desire to request herewith that your
commission proceed Immediately to
restore the face licenses in tn Mission
district If any lapse occurred at all
as the result of the importuning of a
trained female detective, a sufficient
penalty therefor has been paid.
Upon a further review of matters
as they exist | am constrained to ask
by virtue of what law or regulation
your department has, within recent
weeks, undertaken to become censors
of thoroughly respectable and unof.
Tending dancing academies that have
been conducted here by highly respon.
sible citizens during a period of more
than thirty years without violating the
law or engendering scandal?
For the police to invade the peace
full and thoroughly proper dancing
academies where the young men and
women of small means go for their
legitimate relaxation is to cast slur
upon dancing and to throw doubt and
suspicion over this highly proper pas
time.
81 notice that the exclusive dancing
organizations of the rich where wine
may flow, and where society sharply
draws the lines of caste are not thus
affronted or brought up with a round
turn 1t remains for the police, then,
, TO apply their splendid talents to the
shameful embarrassment of the poor
dancing academy, where wage-earning
boys and girls are well chaperoned.
81 want this pernicjous and ridicu.
lous tendency on the part of the police
curtailad and stopped instantly. Wher-
ever actual crime or wrongdoing is
located or reported at any of these in
stitutions, be they founded upon
wealth or conducted by the poor it
will be time enough for the police to
take a hand in the situation.

whole is indicated by the stirring
document written by the Rev. DR.. Mar
tin A. Meyer, one o. the best known
Jewish ministers in the West, who
wrote as follows when the news of Nc
Carthys letter became known:
Nightmare, so long dreaded, is now
taking on reality.
Some fourteen months ago a like
! terror was inaugurated, but the expires.
sed sentiment of the decent element of
the community finally defeated it. The
threatened horrors of a wide-open
town, of a decadent, Pagan joyousness,
are now to be perpetrated by the
powers that be.
The degradation of San Francisco
is complete. The desire for the
Worlds Fair apparently brought about
a truce with the powers for evil. Now
we shall stand before the world con-
demned hypocrites.
Sophistry can fall to no lower levels
,
utive as printed in this morning S
! papers, sophistry in the service of poli-
teal ambition, greed and vice. Never
were the interests of the great mass
of the people so foully betrayed.
Where is the decent citizen, employer
ca employee, who wants vice to be UNI
restrained so that his son and daught-
en- may be endangered?
If there are any abuses in so-called
fashionable quarters, correct them with
fearless hand and answering justice.
HUT to meet them by permitting furth-
er infractions of the law, by inviting
more widespread wrongdoing, is dia-
holcal.
San Francisco's shame grows from
day to day. That there can be found
citizens so constituencies as to do
! the bidding of the worst element of
| life in the community is surely the
measure of the failure of our foul
standards.
San Francisco dare not be handed
over to the white SLAYER, the dive and
dance hall keeper, the gambler and
! the panderer. Let them who would
dare, do it, Let them bring woes to
cur city, compared with which the
evils of quake and fire were child's
play if they dare!
Citizens of San Francisco, it is your
children, your homes, your honor your
name, that is now in danger. Let
your voice be heard, and that in no
uncertain manner.

Commission, and the whole city az

and greed!
This is a question affecting the wei
fare of the city for ages yet to come,
It is not a matter of partisan politics,
but a clear-cut moral issue of the
social and moral well-being of San
/ Francisco, for the present, and for the
future.
