The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-07-15

an Advertiser reporter on the bal
ground yesterday, Immediately after
the conclusion of the second game won
by the Kamehamehas from the Homo
inspired by the inexplicably bad work
of Pitcher Joy of the Honolulus in the
sixth inning when he allowed four con-
secutive bases on balls to the Kams
who were at time five runs in arrears.
The sixth inning netted five runs for
the Kams and thereafter they won as
they liked.
President Isenberg said other things
to the reporter. He stated that up
town yesterday morning there was any
amount of money offered on the
chances of the Rams. He heard of one
proposition to lay $50 to $40 on their
chances. He remarked that he knew
of natives who had wagered their
weeks earnings on the game and lost
because they did not happen to be in
the know. They had come to him with
their troubles and had told him that
they would not attend another big
league game. Such an incident as this,
he said, furnished an explanation of
the steadily decreasing attendance at
the league games.
FELT LIKE RESIGNING.
1t is extremely probable that but for
the persuasion of certain persons with
the welfare of baseball at heart, Presi-
dent Isenbergs resignation from the
league would have been mailed ere
this
1t is highly satisfactory that an in
vestigatory meeting has been called
and it is to be hoped that the matter
will be probed to the uttermost and
that if a player or players be found
guilty of crooked work, they be ex-
PEELED from the big league and kept out
of it and all other local leagues for all
time.
Last Saturdays game between the
Punahous and the Honolulus, had a
fishy look but yesterdays exhibition of
the national game was as bad looking
a contest as has ever been seen on the
local diamond
BETTING OUTLINED RESULT.
Over a week ago there was eVinced
a decided disposition to wager On the
Kams to win yesterdays game.
Two persons We're discussing the
probable outcome of the last game be-
tween the Males and the Punahous and
one offered to let the other have his
choice of the winner of that game pro-
vided his friend would allow him to
pick the winner of yesterdays game.

baseball.
One day last week two or three par
ties came to Secretary +. E. Thompson
of the league and told him if he wanted
to make all kinds of money. to back
the Rams against the Honolulus.
Yesterday morning there was a flood
of money about town with which to
back the Kams. The amount and the
eagerness to bet it was enough to
arouse suspicion that there was some
thing doing Usually it is quite a task
to wager fifty dollars on a game which
looked as easy to pick as yesterdays.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Ho-
nolulus looked to be a to 10 shot, the
supporters of the Kamehamehas were
always willing to give shade of odds
TALKS STRATEGY.
Manager Charlie Falk of the Homo
lulus received during the past week,
what he construed to be tip not to
bet on the Reds When he saw the way
the money talked yesterday he put
two and two together and did a very
sagacious thing.
He drew up a letter stating that he
had reason to believe that the game
was to be thrown and saying, if his
suspicious proved to be well-founded.
that the league would conduct an in
vestigation. This he submitted to an
officer of the league for signature on
behalf of the Trustees. which was OBJ
tanned. The letter was then addressed
to Manager Falk who read it to the
team before the game. hoping thereby,
to scare any intending wrong-doer.
KAMS START WELL.
AT first the Kamehamehas seemed to
have the game tied UP and the wise
boys talked of the operation of the
double cross. Even when the Rams at
the end of the fifth, were five runs be-
hind there were on the ground thoseI
willing to bet that the Rams would yet
win out.
A HEAVY SETTLING.
There was a heavy settling after the
game, both on the ground and uptown.
One native at the gate of the ball
ground had his hands full of silver and
