BASEBALL SCHEDULE IS
CHANGED FOR EARLY CLOSE

At the meetings the resignation OF
Umpire Newton was read and accepted.
This resignation was received immedi-
ate1y after the games of two weeks
ago, when the crowds disapproval OF
some of the decisions of Mr.. newton
were sufficient to arouse his ire. He
was able to swallow this for last Sat
urday and went on with the the play
but he insisted upon his withdrawal
later and so the league accepted his
defamation to serve more. 1t was de-
cided that Steere of the Punahous and
Cunha of the HonoluluS should act as
the umpires for the rest of the season.

team shall be in the play for the day.
There was at the meeting of the
league some question as to the penalty
which should be visited upon any one
who might succumb to temptation and
take money to throw game. The fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
That if it be conclusively proved that
a member or members of any of the
league teams be guilty of trickery or
in any way has his name associated
with a case of bribery in connection
with the, league games, that such MEM
Der or members be debarred from fur
ther participation in any of the games
of the league under it's present by

season had been fairly successful, and
the financial statement showed over
$1,000 taken in. There will be material
addition to this by the later games.

Cresceus' harness and appointments in
the past have been regal, but Mr.. Ket-
cham has evolved original ideas which
will he thinks, materially increase the
speed of the great trotter. He has order
ed the lightest and finest trotting harness
ever made. The buckles and other mount
ings are made of aluminium gold bronze
which will be the lightest material that
these goods can be produced of; still they
have the strength of steel with the APP
pearance of gold. The saddle of the har-
ness is a perfect oval and made as smooth
as the finest plate glass, and yet IT'S
strength is so great that it would hold
secure the widest horse that could be
