HERE'S ANOTHER
BASEBALL ROW
Cdpitols File a Protest-Feearty
Will Challenge CapitoIs
for $1,000.

The following protest has been plac-
ed in the hands of C. F. Chillingworth.
president of the Winter Baseball
| League:
November ,, 1901
c. +. Chillingworth, President Winter
Baseball League:
Sjr-I, Solomon Mahelona, manager
| of the Capitol baseball team. do here
| by protest against the ruling of one
| Robert Pahau. umpire I'm a certain
game played between the United States
Customs team and Capitol team at the
Makiki grounds, on the afternoon of
the I'd of November. A d. 1901, said
ruling being in regard 20 a certain
blocked ball in the sixth or seventh in
ming of the game. Very respectfully
yours, SOLOMON, MAHELONA,
Manager of the Capitol Baseball
Team.
Last night Secretary Fogarty Of the
league. who is also manager of the
Custom House team. told reporter
that in his opinion the protest is inval-
id and absurd for the following reas-
ons:
/. That the protest was not filed
within twenty-four hours after the
game.
2. That the secretary of the league
was not the recipient of the protest,
and has not yet seen the protest.
3. That in the protest the description
OF the game is not specified.
4. That no protest was made TO the
umpires on the field.
5. That the protest does not state
definitely in which inning the ball was
supposed to have been blocked.
s. That no section OF rule is quoted
in the protest bearing upon the sub
ject at issue.
Fogarty went on to say that the Gus
tom House nine would challenge the
Capitols for $1,000 on any date which
the latter might name. He stated that
Captain Brokaw would back the Gus
toms for $3.50, and that he would be
responsible for the remaining $3.50.
"All the Capitols have to do is to
cover the money, which is ready at
any time" concluded Mr.. Fogarty.
President Chillingworth, of the
league, said last night that he had call
ed meeting of the league for tomor-
row night, at which time the validity
of the protest will be voted upon.

SOLDIERS WILL
RUN AND JUMP
General Order Substitutes Ath.
leticS for OriII-Healani
Club Matters.

Athletics at Camp Mckinley are go
ing to receive considerable attention
in the immediate future. Lieutenant
General Miles, commanding the United
States army, has issued a general or
der to the effect that daily drill at all
military posts be suspended during the
months of November and December
and that practice and training in gen.
eral athletics be substituted. Camp
Mckinley will fall in line with this
order.
The new order of things at the camp
began yesterday. and instead of drill
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 a. M. the soldiers
did stunts on the race track. Running.
jumping. hurdle racing. pole vaulting.
putting the shot, throwing the ham
mer. will all come in for their share of
attention. Football baseball and
handball will also be taken up.
Next January the regular drills will
be resumed. but two days each week
will be set apart for athletics. After
a while the artillery will probably have
a field day and all round program OF
sports.
The idea OF General Miles order IS
to further the general physical devel-
opment of the soldiers.
During the latter part of the month
the Healani Yacht and Boat Club Will
hold their annual meeting, at which
officers will be elected for the ensuing
year. Walter Wall, the president, and
a. L. G. Atkinson. the captain OF the
club. have positively refused to run
for office again, and worthy successors
are now being looked for.
Atkinson is mentioned quite freely
for president, and +. Church, A Walk
er and Paul Jarrett, all have follow
ing for the captaincy.
There will be a meeting of the Ha-
waiian Intercollegiate Football Asso-
citation at 1890 p. m. today at the
headquarters Of the Honolulu Athletic
