to give the puDiIc good, Clean Ddil
Some people called him kicker, but
he kicked in the interests of clean
baseball and the leagues finances.
KING WANTED TO KNOW.
t. J. King wanted to know if Joy
had ever walked four men in success
sion before. Falk replied in the af-
firmative but in answer to Trustee
Thurston's enquiry, could not give the
date of the game. King thought that
Second Baseman Fernandez was just
as much to blame for bad playing as
was Joy.
TALKS LITTLE SAY.
c. F. F'alk, manager of the Honolu
lus, denied having mentioned joys
name specifically to Isenberg as like
Iy to throw the game. He had no rea-
son to suspect anyone. His suspicious
were aroused by the liberal money
which he heard was being betted on
the Kams on the morning before the
game. There had been. rumors all the
week that the Rams were to win. He
consulted with Gleason and Williams
and they drew up the letter between
them. He had only had casual con-
versation with Joy during the week
of the game. When the first man was
walked he thought it looked bad, but
when passes continued to be given he
arrived at the conclusion that JOY
was naturally weakening. If he had
mentioned joys name to Isenberg it
was to say that he was the vital man
of the team. He did not tell Isenberg
not to direct his investigation against
any other player than JOY.
RICHARDSON ON STAND.
Frank Richardson stated that Falk
had come to him and said that the
game looked wrong. The town was
full of rumors that the Honolulus were
to give the game to the Rams. He
couldn't remember who had told him.
GLEASON RELATES.
Patrick Gleason. captain of the Ho-i
nolulus had heard joys name men
toned in connection with selling the
game and had had a talk with him
since the game. Joy said he had play
ed straight. He had a right to ques-
ton Joy, as manager of the team, in
the interests of the team. He did not
think that any members of the nine
would sell the game. but agreed to
the letter as a safeguard
not think that the letter would be |
shown to Isenberg. The whole thing |
he regarded as a bluff and thought |
fixed to the letter.
KOKTS LITTLE BET
Solomon Koki, secretary of the Ka-
baseball club and an en-
ploye of E. O. Hall & Son. had told |
Kane to bet $50 for him on the Rams
at odds of 10 to s. Lemon was man
ager of the team. He bet because the
Punahous had beaten the Hono1ulus
and he thought the Rams could do
he same thing. Also his men had
showed up we'll at practice. His sal
Try was S135 per month His relations
With Joy We're friendly but he'd only
lad a chat with him the week before
he game. He didn't tell Kane to bet
lis weeks wages on the game.
KANE ALSO BET.
Kane another employee of E. O. Hall
Son said he bet $50 to s74 on the
<ams. Fifty dollars of this was Ko-
IFS and the remainder his own. He
vas married and earned 81 week
lie thought that if Koki could afford
o risk $50 on the game he could af-
ord TO risk SO. He bet the money in
he grandstand
JOY EXPLAINS
Pitcher JOY of the Honolulus denied
aving bet on the game. He heard 5
bout the letter before the game and
id not want to play at all. No one ,
ad approached him with a PROPOSE {
ion to sell the game. He walked four
len because he couldn't put the ball :
YER the plate. Before the sixth he ,
brew easy balls. In the sixth he ,
tarted to soak them in as the Rams :
rere getting next to him. He didn't
ant to play because he knew that if
he game We're lost he would get the ,
lame. All pitchers go dead off at ,
INES. he said. In the sixth innings
