BASEBALL GAMES.

The closing games OF the 1906
season OF baseball contests for the
championship had q merry and very
interesting ending at the League
grounds Yesterday, Labor day, alter
neon and the occasion will be long
remembered by those present who
we're given ample opportunity TO see
the extremes OF good aud bad ball
playing. The weather was oil that
could be desired, the large attend
snoe, oven at the commencement OF
the opening game, between two tail
enders 10 the race for record, viz
teams OF the Male aud OF the
Kamehsmeha clubs, showed that
the National game was still no at

commencement OF the second con-
sest Of the afternoon which Umpire
Bowers introduced at 4 O'Clock saw
fully 2200 people In grand stand,
blesohsrs and on the grounds. This
second contest, the feature Of the
afternoon, was between the top
notchers, teams from the HONOLULU
Athletic Club and from the Elks
club and was to decide the stand
ing Of either 10 the just ending
second series OF the seasons games.
The EIks had cspturod the hrst
series, but the Honolulus had work
ed to this "last ditch" in the second
series and victory for them meant
tie with the Elks for the title OF
Champions. Friendly partiz,ns we're

LISTED IN NEW YORK,

Announcement was received In Den.
yer Saturday that the Colorado &
Southern railroad had applied 70 the
New York Stock exchange to list a.
000,00 shares OF Ia stock. This
MEATS that the voting pool Of the
stock which was formed az che time Of
the reorganization Of the Colorado a
Southern has bean broken.
J. NJ. Herbert, yico president and
general manager Of the road, said that
the releases OF the stock from the
pool did not mean that there would be
radical changes In the future policy
Of tho company. The voting pool
formed Ia 1859, under the direction Of
Granville Dodge, was made so that the
control OF the Colorado a Southern
would remain In the hands OF one
person. This would make Il impossible
for any sudden changes In the finan-
oiai or executive policy.
Now that the stock has been placed
on the market Mr.. Herbert says that
Il will DO impossible for any one 20

control OF the company.
