The president called the meeting to

said:
1.-THE reason this meeting has been

of talk about the game having been
sold and no time has been lost in call
ing this meeting, in order that the
public may see that an earnest effort
is being made to probe the matter to
the bottom.
1.-The league owes it to the public to
furnish good, clean baseball. Hereto
fore I have taken no notice of gam
bling on the grounds and especially
where the players dress, under the
grandstand. I may have been remiss
in doing my duty in the past, but the
next bet I see made I shall turn over
the parties to the police, in whose
hands the matter has been left in the
past. / feel that it is due to the COM

the bylaws of the league, which
states that it shall be necessary TO
obtain a two-thfrds vote of the league
finding that a player is guilty, in order
to convict him of accepting bride.
He was in favor of the league settling
the case.
1.-The bylaw is not larger than its
maker" sapiently observed Thompson
resolution.
King objected He thought that the
league should do the investigating it
self.
Falk kukoaed. He wanted to be on
deck when his team was being investi-
gated
Steere remarked that if it were the
Punahous who were to be investigated
for throwing a game, he would feel as
Falk did.
MY team did not throw the game, ;"
fred off Falk
did any member of the team throw
the game?" sauvely queried Richard
son.
Perhaps replied Falk, diplomat
ically.
Judas Iscariot should not be tried
by traitors said Thompson.
Lemon got up and said that the
Rams had played a good game and
were not parties to the alleged steal.
The resolution went through by
to 1 vote, King alone dissenting.

RACE WILL.
BE NOVEL
Yachting Contest That
Starts From a
Restaurant.

The Hawaii Yacht Club has an ex
| ceedingfy novel race on the tapis which
is already attracting a good deal OF
attention among yachtsmen and which
should provide a great deal of good
sport.
The race will be to Rabbit Island
the date of the contest being August 4
So far the following entries have been
received; La Paloma, Gladys, Kapolei,
Kamehameha, Hawaii, Spray and
Helene. The Spray, on account of her
inferior dimensions, will be allowed a
certain handicap.
The race will be open to all yacht
owners, whether they belong to the
yacht club or not, and will take place at
the time of full moon.
The crews of the competing yachts
will partake OF chowder at the Grill
at 10 p. M, after which the race will
be declared on. As soon as the regatta
committee has given the word ''go,' a
rush viii be made for the boats which
will be moored in the harbor and they
will be got out to sea as quickly as pos
sible.
Sealed packages will have been pre-
viously placed on Rabbit Island and
they will form the quest of the yachts
men. The packages, according to the
conditions of the race, must be taken
from the island and delivered at the
yacht club headquarters at Pearl Har-
Dor. C. T. Wilder will be stationed on
Rabbit Island to see that everything is
done in order at that end and he will
board one of the yachts and go to Pearl
Harbor, where w. H. McInerny of the
regatta committee will attend to the

"A QUESTION
OF FINANCE

Senior League
Magnates.

The question of the attendance al
the Saturday games of the Honolulu
Baseball League is agitating the trus-
tees and officers of the league at pres
ent. 1t is lame ntable fact that the
crowds at the games this season are
smaller than those which visited the
background last year. And the worst
feature of the whole thing is that the
attendance is all the time getting
smaller
There hasn't been game this season
where the bieacners nave been filed,
though when the Honolulus and Oahus
last met, the biggest crowd Of the sea-

1t is estimated that the run to Rab-

about seven hours will be consumed in
reaching Pearl Harbor after leaving
the island.
Every yacht must have it's tender
and life-buoys along. Any members of
the yacht club who have not made ar

The principal topics of the

former is leaking and the latter
is fairly overlooking with good

NEW YORK. March 12.-Today's
stock market was left very largely in
the hands of professional operators and
those apparently of the smaller class
of roomtraders who are satisfied to
close up an operation on a price move

was of a mixed complexion from the
opening and prices began to sag pretty
promptly.
The threatening aspect taken on by
the labor controversy in the anthra-
cite field was given credit for the hesi-
tating tone of the market. The char
acter of the reply of the operators to
the proposition of the miners was so
uncompromising that 1t seemed to offer
little room for further negotiations and
the anticipation gained force that a
strike would result.

Reports of railroad gross earnings
