The Ciampionsliip Race in Honolulu Rapidly Getting to the Profes
sional Gate-money Stage, Etc.
HONOLULU, H. I., May 1. Editor SPORT ING LIFE: The base ball season opened in Honolulu Saturday, April 12. The first scheduled game was between the Ilonolulus and Stars. About 2000 people were on the grounds, which were in fair order for base ball. Unfortunately, after one inning each had been played, it commenced to rain and the play stopped, the Honolulu^ having made two runs and the Stars one. The Hawaiian Baud was on the grounds, but a band at a ball game is a nuisance, for while it is play ing you cannot hear the umpire.
On the l&th the Kamehamehas and Ha- wams were opponents and a good game was looked for. However, it proved to be rather one-sided, the Kamehamehas having it pretty muchall their own way. Davis, their pitcher, struck out no less than sixteen of the Ha- waiins, while Thompson was batted quite freely. But the score below gives full par ticulars. There was a very large crowd of people to see the game:KAMEHA'A. AB.R.B. p. A. EI HAWAII. AB.R.B. r. A.

The third game of the schedule was betwaen the Stars, last season's champions, and the Kamehamehas, and was the means of attract ing an andieuce of not less than two thousand people.

There is no doubt that the Kamehamehas are a very strong team, this season and will take lots of beating. They are all native Hawaiian boys, with the exception of Hich- ards, who is a teacher in the Kamehameha school, where the boys attend. They practice a great deal, which is more than can be said of the other teams. But this is not to be wondered at, for the members of the other three teams are engaged in business during the week aud their time is limited. Both the Stars and Houolulus are strong teams and will prove that assertion before the season is over. The liuwaiians want a bettet pitcher. I letthi it is probable that Meek, who was expelled last season, will be rein stated and, if so, will pitch for the Hawaiians He is a good 'tin and will materially strengthen the team.
Base ball has advanced with a big stride this week. A meeting has been held and a base ball association formed with a capital 01 $5000, to be increased to $10,000 if necessary, The shares were placed at $10 aud first offered to the players, who gobbled up a large num ber, in fact, there are none left, and they are now above par. New grounds have been leased for a term of years, and are now being placed in order. Tiiey will have all modern improvements and be enclosed by a ten-fool fence.
Heretofore our base ball grounds have been open to all. Early in the year the Bostons and Stocktons wanted to come here, but not having inclosed grounds, a satisfactory answer could not be given. Now it is differ ent, and if any of the ambitious teams in the States want to learn how to play base ball why let tltem come right along. The presi dent of the Hawaii Base Ball League is Hon W. F. Alien, and the secretary, Mr. Jas. G. Spencer. My next will contain some par ticulars of the new grounds and the building to be erected thereon.
Since writing the above a meeting of the Hawaii Bare Ball League has been held, al which Meek was re-instated. W. T.
HOUSTON HITS.The Death of Ellff—The Schedule Changed
—Attacks on an Umpire—General Club News.HOUSTON, Tex., May ]7. Edltor SPOKTIKO tin:
Poor Harry Eliff lias played bis last game on earth. He was taken ill two weeks ago with ly|.hold fever, and, though having every care that frieadl? hands could gite him, daily fadod away, and on May 14, while the worM looked like one glorious bnrdt of sunshine, he drew bin la*t hre.tth aud died, surrounded by bis cnriirartes of the Houston and Qalreiton tenmi. Harry XlifT »fls only 23 years of age when be dird, and was Itoru in UiytoD, O., where bis parents stilt reside, tiis first entrance Itjto tl:e base, bull arena was with Wheel ing, Vft., in '87, where ho fininisl'.ed the season; '88 (bund him in the Columbia City, Ind., bam; '89 he cauglu for the Waco, Tex., team, and was afterward* Bold to Purbl", Col., wilt-re be liuiishod the season. In Urn fall of 'SO he caught and pUyed second for the Kirerside, Cal.. team, aud wns afterwards signed I y Blanaeer McCloskey to catch for the season of '90 with lioufaton. Oak loud was hot for bis services, and would IjaYosecnr,d him iu exchange for Isaacsnn aud A money considoration, but death dissolved the deal.
1 worKleriutily wonder when our bard luck will cea^o. Tile moment oue player recuperates another is taken sick, aud it lias ever bean tbus smce the se»8'>n begin. But there is a limit to all things, and I tru't we wiH soon reach tual-limit, ani in a rushing fcurry.
For rowdyism Ft. Worth takes the bakery. Umpire 'UeiiLle wa» assaulted thereon the 3d by three of its worthy citizens, nimj'ly because tboir team was teatun. OQ the 4th Hcngle was escorted to the (Kioundti nudt-r the protection of two policemen, and then had t» tanmly submit and see Houston robbed of a game that was rightfully theirs. With tho score landing 8 to 2 In the fifth inning iu favor of lions- ton, and with Houston at tha but, he was compelled for half an hour to idly witness Ft. Worth delay the flume by wildly throwing the ball over grand stands, cut in the field, over fences nuttl a heavy rain storm came up and then be was for fear of hij life forced to call game. Si:ch sci-ucs only occur in Ft. Worth, and the inkers of the Tolas League should emphatically ce that it does not bapptn a^ain, or ooiupet Ft. Worth to surrender tbeir franchise.
The Houston t^atu did not have Bitch an easy thing through the Slate as 1 thought they would. Pallas they did not see, on account off floods and heavy rains. Iu Ju>rt Worth tbey won and lost one; in Austin they were presented viih three, but in Waco they lost their grp, getting ooe out of three; wiuuing five and losing turee.
The probabilities are that Weikart will In future occupy first base, »s his effectiveness has disappeared with hi* old-time strength. He plays first base like a Teteran, and is getting his eye tiruily fixed on the de ceptive sphere by occasioually lining it out.

If any ey«8 are looking Southward for twlrlen, I wonld advlje them to keep thair eyes widely open on France's work f.>r Houston, and Haston's work for Galveston. These two, la my opinion, ar.-> the comers in the Texas League for coolness aud head work. They will make their mark in any league and be a succeet. They are both, also, good bitters and base-runners.
Tbe entire dCheduU has been revised a-nd altered to suit Fort Worth, Waco, Austin and Dallas. Houston aud Gt.lveston, thouzh just returned from their trip, will be compelled through the alteration of tha sched ule, after playing a short series with each other, to lake the road again for anotht-r trip. Houston and Galvestou doeverytbiug in their power to keep the weaker cities in line, and no break will occur If they can possibly avoid it.
All onr boys are now playing great ball and all are In fine trim, aud from now on tbey will pl&y for blood. They have occasionally dropped games through over- confidence in themselves to win hands down, but Mac ha? read the riot act to them to take things easy and coo), aud tbey are wisely and profitably following bta advice.

BUFFALO BITS.The Tilsoiis at Red-rock Mention of the
the Nevr York Serlea and the Buffalo Players' Individual Work Comment on Manager Bacon's Men Notes From Everywhere. KCFFALO, May 21. Edkor SPOKTING LIFE:
The Bisons went Eastward, the rainy weather followed. Secretary Fitzgerald piloted the team to New York, the rain stopped at the Gilsey House (I think), and waited. The boys would fain have exhibited their skill at Brotherhood Park on Thursday and Friday of last week, but wet grounds, superinduced by rain,prevented.while Cleve land played the ex-Giants atthe Polo Grounds over the way. Truly, this is a most remark able occurrence. I doubt if a team has ever been to persistently sprinkled as the Buffalo Players' League team of 1890. This, of course, has not added to the physical welfare of the players duriugthe past week, and no improve ment iu standing could consequently be ex pected. The Ckvclauds dared each other, Tebeau and Larkin coached, the other men played good ball, downed Boston twice and pushed the Bisons into eighth place, while they had no chance to geton the field,and did not take the rear by poor playing. This lat ter is comfort, and everyone thinks the boys will take advantage of the rebound which is invariably attendant upon such rapid down falls, and regain their real place.
AT NEW YORKthe boys showed some signs of increasing good form, and gave the Giants some work. Gns Krock went in Saturday, the first time for over four weeks in a regular game, and held his opponents down well for seven innings; then they got iu six hits, which, together with a base on balls and a couple of errors, netted then seven runs and gave them th; game. The Bisons hit Crane hard and showei some resumption of their earlier vigor witii the bat, but Mack had his first off day of the season, and this, together with a few bunched errors, lost the game for Buffalo.
Monday the Bisons got at an old acquaint ance, Hank O'Day, and hit him with much care, frequency and precision. The word "unbundled" having to be applied to those fourteen hits explains the fact that the Bisons lost by one run, after a game the up-hill ten dency of which would have been a cheerful sight to see-^by BuS'alo eyes. Haddock let down in one inning, and that is another rea son why the Bisons lost. If the third inning could have been eliminated, what a thing ol beauty that score would have been!
BEECHER'S BATTINGhas been commented on here in very favor able terms. His Monday's record was an ex cellent one. Indeed, he overtops Sam Wise, who seems to be "laid for" by the twirlers. But he will fool the "layers for" yet. Deacon White is playing first base like an old-tinier in that position. His quickness fits him for that position admirably. I venture to say
r he has assisted in putting out men more ii than any first basenum in the League. ve and Hoy are doing fine W--'-
sometimes mars a brilli.v a i alec iimnprlintrly after. lto_«r ''-
wuli ' ^ not safely'cGuntjut witti the i presume, he would like to do. .,,,.. .,..,,,,,._, will probably get back in right field the latter part of this week, after which a little more improvement both in bat- tin" aud fielding may be looked for.
John Irwin is doing good batting, but third base is not fielded so well as Buffalonians would like to see. John never claimed to be a phenomenal fielder, and batting and base- running make up, perhaps, for the deficiency.
The pitchers are getting limbered up a little now and better work is confidently ex pected. Keefe, on whom was rested the bulk of expectation, suffered the most severely; his arm was sore to such an extent that it was well-nigh impossible to lift it above his shoulder; in that condition he pitched the 19 to 3 game in Chicago. But, as I say, he. together with George Haddock, who showed in New York that he was somewhat less under the weather; Ferson, who pitched yesterday at Brooklyn, and Gus Krock, who is relied upon for good ball, will soon be in form again and, that desired event occurring, I hope to be able to write next week that the Bisons' work is taking them upwards where they may hob-nob with the Phillies, Pittsburgs and New Yorks( and where they belong.
The first Brooklyn game was a defeat, al though Buffalo pounded left-handed Sowders even harder than O'Day had been the day be fore. But Buffalo made many errors and Brooklyn bundled hits on Ferson and Keefe, winning by 8 to 3.
PHIL PETTEE'S PILGKIMS are at present writing in Detroit. They have so far played much better ball abroad than they did at home. Two at London and one at Snginaw marks the record. It is wondered why Dick Conway was not put in to pitch at Bay City on Saturday last instcadof Dunning, who had been pounded on Thursday. Coii- way pitched hia first game in London last Wednesday and won. He is a good man for Buflalo and many would like to see him pitch more frequently.
Shellerman downed the half-and-half club Friday; he whitewashed them and gave them five incidental hits. You ought to have seen the celebration out in East Buflalo that night! Scores of booming cannon, myriads of smil ing human beings, innumerable waving torches, countless barking dogs, gave evi dence that Stump is a favorably regarded favorite out there. Shellerman is a most ex cellent pitcher and deserves attention.
Connor bids fair to rival the other Buffalo short stop, Rowe. Every game shows im provement in his work. He leads the team in batting. The boys in Bay City seem to have caught on toQuinn, as the Buffalo young men used to take to Patsy Douovau. Quiuu's coaching reminds one of Donovau.
ITEMS.Speaking of Donovan, he appears to be the
most unlucky player alive. At present he is laid up w'ith an injury, and it is a question if he ever played an entire season without some serious accident. It has always been my de sire to see Donovan in a Buflalo uniform, as he is considered one of the finest players when in condition in the country.
Burke, Rooks and Andrus do well together, and Andy has yet to make an error.
Emil Smith's friends would like to see him catch more.
Buffalonians regret the accident in which Serad's arm was fractured. Billy is an old favorite here. By the way, Serad is left- handed in everything but his ball playing.
Halligau is proving himself a fine batter. He made a four-baser off O'Day, Monday.
John McGlone is doing excellent work in left field for Denver.
Carney is the only player left in Buffalo of the -Players' Club. He went West with the team but vras sent home, while the club went on the Eastern trip.
Jack Reidy now plays second base for Jer sey City. He always preferred to play second base to any other position.
Beecher is improving in fielding:OLCOMB.
Tamos don't always turn out as expected. St. Louis and Columbus, which were expected to turn out tho largest crowds of the Western con tingent of the American Association, have been aeroat disappointment, while T«l<ido and Louis.

THEY SIGH FOR SUN.How Bad Weather l» Affecting tho Attend
ance at Games in Brooklyn—John Ward's Mud Honse Practices and What May Come of Them—Bj-rne Smiles and Bids All "Bide a Wee"—Jim Kennedy's Com ing Surprise—General Mention.BROOKLYN, May 21. Editor SPORTING
LIFE: That infantile refrain, "Rain, rain, go away," has become chronic with all the base ballists here, and they are humming it orally and mentally in and out of tane, while they wonder when the moisture is going to take a halt. Aside from absolutely queering several games since the season opened, it has tended to frighten the people on doubtful days and to dampen the ardor of enthusiasts. I mean no pun iu this instance, as it is a serious matter and worthy only grave consid eration. The days that have gone out on the wires to other cities as "rainy" have been of that irritating, drizzling sort generally, that kept everybody guessing until tlie last mo ment, when all ended in disgust. Those on which very low attendance figures had been quoted were of a peculiarly nasty nature, either being fine days until the gates were opened to the grounds, when fitful showers would come up and last, in nearly every in stance, until just before 4 o'clock, when the sun would come out, or the skies would be overcast all day, after a night of rain, so that the average man would either consider a game ont of the question or hope only at the best for a sloppy sliding contest. These dis appointments and sneaky set-backs hove in jured the regular attendance to a marked ex tent, the "little difference" that is on hand at present hardly entering into the matter at all.
PEOPLE ALL SAY SO.You hear it on every side. People will not trrisl the weather, no matter how promis ing, and the backers of the various clubs are suffering, while Brooklyn loses in its reputa tion as a base ball city. A striking example of this distrust, which is epidemic, is pre sented in a nonegenarian crank who lives only a few doorsaway from Washington Park. This old gentleman, with his ninety years, seldom misses a game duMJ|^M^^^eather, air 'IP paii sir yefirlnlr^^^W a rtsr- hi> the Bridegrooms. He started in i.. ...^.ui.y. his weakness at the beginning of this season, bnt was caught in one or two showers and laid up after each, and yester day, between wails, he told me that he would not dare venture into Washington Park until the simon pure weather had conic to stay. So it is with the remainder of the "old guard," as the crowd of vets who are daily attendants are known. Although they do not carry so many years as their grizzled leader, they have their stiff joints, that twinge when the rain comes; and then there is the regiment of solid stand-bys, who put off all sorts of engage ments to enjoy a game. These tire of disap pointment very quickly. And, lastly, there are the dear girls, who, having had one bon net spoiled, will not risk another. And there you are. It's bad weather that's hurting the attendance much more than lack of interest, and you mark me, that when "Old Sol" gets on his regular summer smile the crowds will begin to turn out.
WARD'S WET DAY IDEAS. Since my last the Bridegrooms have suffered
the loss of two games on account of the warr ing elements, although John Ward played his men each of th? days that Byrne's team kept their noses under cover. J. Montgum may have had his private reasons for bringing his team to the front on such days, but I question his judgment. Take the first of the two days for instance (last Thursday, May 15). It was Brooklyn's Handicap Day, one of the two great race days of the year in 'his vicinity. A man that misses this event is considered a luckless mortal, and the result is, oi course, an immense turning out. But iu addition to this last Thursday was damp and doubtful, the day succeeding a wet night. Washington Park was a veritable quagmire, and "no game" was posted on the outer walls, but de spite the fact that Eastern Park was only a little better, over the ticker came the an nouncement that Brooklyn and Chicago would play, provided it did not rain at 4 o'clock. Well, it didn't rain at the time named, and the clubs played, but to what? Nothing better than empty benches 109 was the at tendance. Instead of a shouting, enthusiastic multitude such as greeted Cpmiskey, Latham et al. at Washington Park in the old days, there was the four hundred and odd scattered around like so many lonely crows in a forest of benches, while the shouts of the players came up from the diamond and were echoed and re-echoed in sad and seemingly mocking cadences through the rafters -of the grand stand, like the last sound waves of the glad shouts on a jolly departing day. It was posi tively depressing and certainly brought no credit to the Brooklyn Players' Club. I wonder if Mr. Ward in deciding to play on such a day thought of the effect on the pub ic the announcement that the great Chicago
aggregation had opened against Ward and lis men in Brooklyn of all cities, to 409 people, would have. I wonder whether he stopped to consider that the average reader at a distant point reasons that if the clubs clayed everything must be reasonably favor able and that the honest explanation of a wet day, given in the newspapers, was only a :haritable excuse.
THE SMALL ATTENDANCE.Friday, another day of miserable weather,
hey played to 840 people after Brooklyn, laving downed Comiskey's aien. To offset his Byrne's team opened with the rag-tag of :he League, Pittsburg, and drew 379. On Saturday ^Ward's attcndancej after two straight victories, was 2900, while the Bride grooms, with the Smoky City's all colts, with )ne or two exceptions, and unknown, at- racted 1597. On Monday the attendance at Eastern Park, after great doings there on pre vious days, was 4P2, while Byrne's men, after a defeat on Saturday, gathered in 383. And then shades of great crowds and prosperous lays! Tuesday wet, sloppy, anything but for :>ase ball, Ward trots hss men out, when all other clubs iu the vicinity were inuoors, and :hen runs up against Deacon WHite'saggrega- tion in the presence of 80 paid spectators. I don't mean that the spectators had been paid :o witness the eo.me. allhough some of them thought they should have been before the con- :e.st was half over, but there were 80 count em who had bought their tickets. Ward
wanted first place in the pennant race, and heville, from which no one expected much, have I got it, but I am afraid at a dismal cost. He come to the front in a Burpriiintf maniur. I Wil it t'cr oue brief dii}-., aad must forever
acknowledge to the smallest attendance on record and lay away down when Spalding's 153 is laughed over.i
Ward announced on Tuesday that he would play every day that it was in any way pos sible, and I presume he knows his own busi ness and had his object in view when he made that statement.
Considering everything, though, Ward's inen are putting up a fine article of ball, and if they fail none can well lay it to lack of spirit in the matter of playing.
BRIDEGP.OOMS PLAYING BALL.The Bridegrooms, too, are getting there
with both feet aud renting the enemy in great shape. They wearied Hecker's men and lost one game practically through sheer careless ness. To-day, as you know, they swamped the Red Legs. I sighed with^Mulford, jumped with Johnson and stared with Weldou as I saw the "Cincys" pounded out of shape. It was awful.
Mr. Stern, I was informed, is disappointed because he is not making about one million dollars a day. That journalistic trio in Cin cinnati should pound a little spunk into him.
Despite the bad weather and other draw backs President Byrne wears a smile quite serene. That big event I spoke of two weeks ago as being on the card came off and only a splint of it was guessed at by the newspapers. Precisely what it is, only those interested know, but they promise a surprise.
KENNEDY'S SURPRISE.Talking of surprises, Jim Kennedy told
me that he had a corker ready to spring, but that it would not mature for a day or two. It may get out ahead of THE SPORTING LIFE, or simultaneously with it. At all events it relates to the Brooklyn Association Club and will tend to intrench that club more firmly than it now is. Big Jim was on the matter all day and could not get a chance to get to the grounds. He assured me that Manager Buckenberger, of rocky memory, was, as usual, talking through his hat when he spoke of a possible transfer of the Brooklyn fran chise to Detroit or Indianapolis. "They can't sell us out without o^^ta|^ri^and we have not been approache<]^^^^^^^^|^^r, there is no danger of our^^^^^^^^^^^^^lAteu^
.slmll.be fully in it ^^^ Wl prospects." Some people say^ue club lis going to shift to a point nearer civilization and more easily accessible than Ridgewood. Kennedy is mum on the subject.
CHAPMAN'S FUNNY MISTAKE.Jack Chapman backed up the Brooklyn
manager to-day in the latter's statement con cerning the alleged trouble. Chapman said he had heard nothing of dissatisfaction in the Association and remarked that he was satis fied with Brooklyn so far as he had gone, and he exhibited his $100 guarantee as he spoke. They have been playing to an average of 150 persons and two yellow dogs every day at Kidgewood. Toole andPowers, pitchers have been released and the club goes on losing games with that easy, graceful swing that so well becomes a tail-euder.
This fact brings to mind to-day's contest, which was one of the funniest on record. Louisville won it in the ninth inning, and after the Colonels, Tfho were last at bat, had retired. After winning the game Chapman hustled his men on the field with instructions to hurry the game. It was to no purpose that Raymond persisted that the game had been played. Chapman had run the third and fourth innings into one column and had the whole thing mixed up, but would not give in. When the reporters present had finally made his error clear, the Brooklyn men had finished their tenth inning. They had an un exceptional chance but couldn't make it, although the laugh was on Chapman.
SOME SMALL TALK.Comiskey, Latham, and the rest came near
going to Washington Park on at least two occasions during their stay here, and got mixed generally, it being a veritable case of being lest in Brooklyn. That howling mob that half the country was led to believe was laying low for the Browns last fall did not put in an appearance, and all got away safe.
The presentation of gifts to Mike Le- hane will figure KS a feature of the Brooklyn- Columbus game at Ridgewood next Sunday.
John Ward has a bad leg, and Bierbauer suffers from Charley-horse.
Pitcher Schmit, of Pittsburg, is a bug. Keep your eye on him, he is entertaining.
"Bug" Hollidny is hardly recognizable in the new Cincinnati get-up. He is the same old friend in centre, though.
President Byrue has been suffering from an ulcerated jaw, but is recovering rapidly.
The Bridegrooms want everything from the Red Legs. They are playing the proper game to get all. J. F. DON.NOLLY.

So fur the Ho.»«ic«s have played rive games, win ning from Renfrew, Greenwich, the Trojaos and the Unlous, and losing to tho Cuban Giants. We are well satisfffl'l with our team.
The pcrroutiel of the nine has been slightly changed. C. Casey has be?n released trouble with the manage ment, it is reported and Carrull signed to cover sec ond. Hannou and Kiely have nleo been signed.
