Frogs In Hawaii.
From the New York Sun.


It Is gratifying to hear that the importa-
ton of frogs into the Hawaiian Islands
has proved to be a success. The islands
had no frogs. they needed them. and the
demand has finally created a home supply.
According to the report OF the fish COM
mission. the frogs are multiplying. and 1t
may soon be profitable to catch them for
market.
1t was not the original purpose. however,
to eat the frogs. but to give them chance
to eat things that were not desirable to
have around. A certain worm infested the
grass or slime in and about the pools. and
IL cattle or sheep swallowed 1t they were
likely to die. 1t was thought also that tie
frogs might assist in thinning out some of
the noxious insects. So some of the plant
ers persevered in shipping frogs from the
United States, though the island rats de-
clared war on the newcomers and killed
most OF the early importations.
The frogs are now very well scattered
over all the islands and are making their
influence felt They are playing havoc with
some of the insects; they are reducing the
number OF fukes that decinate the herds
and focks In most fnsidious way. The
natives say 1t Is good to have frogs around
and they are glad the little fellows have
taken 30 kindly to the islands
Perhaps many of US do not appreciate the
frog as much as he deserves, but we might
feel our loss IL he should disappear.

KELLEY ENJOINS
NATIONAL COMMISSION

CINCINNATI, November 1S.-A legal con-
test against decision of the national base
ball commission was begun in the United
States district court yesterday by Michaei
j. Kelley, manager of the st. Paul Ameri-
can Association team, who filed petition
for an injunction against the commission
to restrain it from putting into effect its
decision that Kelley should play with the
st. Louis American League team.
Kelley declared that he was not under
contract to the st. Paul club, and could not,
therefore, be sold by Owner George Lennon
Of that organization. Kelley asserted that
If he should after the decision of the COM
| mission, undertake to play with any other
than the ST. Louis club, he would be pre-
vented forever from engaging in base ball
as a means of livelihood He declared that
Of the members of the commission, August
Hermann and Ban Johnson, as we'll as
John e. Bruce, secretary OF the commits
sion, had pecuniary interest in the decis-
ion, and that these members of the commits
sion were prejudiced against him. Kelley
therefore asked for an Injunction restrain
ing the members Of the commission from
any action whereby any professional base
ball club In the United States is prevented
from engaging him player for the next
season. A temporary restraining order was
| issued. The case will be taken up for hear
ing on Monday.
The adoption of the following additional
rule by the commission was announced:
Rule 80. No sale of minor league player
by one minor league club to another shall
be permitted within six days of the first
drafting day of each year. All sales of mi
nor league players by one minor league club
to another shall be reported by the secre-
tary of the National Association to the sec
rotary Of the national commission at least
four days before the first drafting day of
each year"
The commission finds the adoption of this
rule abundantly necessary in order that the
cluD possessing title TO Dfavar ha
definitely known before the drafting season
commences.

game, for there are beaten eight divisions

Starting out In the morning, Travis was
opposed to w. 8. Edey of Garden City. the
old wing shot or the tee the former
champion got the longer ball, and his usual
deadly short game left Edey little chance
to do more than get occasional halves He
never won a hole. After being 4 up at
the turn Travis won by 6 UP and to play.
His only bad mistake was topped drive
