HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Report on japanese Conditions There
by Mr. Sargent.

report on Japanese conditions in the
Hawaiian Islands will be made to Presi-
dent Roosevelt by Frank P. Sargent, COM
ton. as a result of his recent visit to the
islands.
Commissioner Sargent yesterday express
ed the opinion that there are fewer Japanese
in the Hawaiian Islands now than there
were two years ago, greater number hav-
ing come to America in that period than
arrived in Hawaii. Mkt Saito, the jap
anese consul general at Honolulu, init
mated to Mr.. Sargent that the japanese
government discouraged its people from
coming to the United States because of its
knowledge of the conditions existing in
this country especially on the Pacific coast,
and it was apprehensive lest the coming
induce prejudice against them that would
be embarrassing.
The commissioner of immigration found
that the owners of sugar, pineapple and
other plantations in the islands are in Sc
rious need of labor, and many Japanese
are coming to the islands to work on them.
He says It is the effort of the Hawaiian
may be possible, not combining 1t to any one
race but to get people from all quarters
of the world. A second shipload Of Portu-
guese will arrive at Honolulu in a short
time. and 1t Is probable that those immi-
grants will make the islands their perma-
nent home. Many more plantations would
be operated On the islands If 1t were posi-
up to the present time labor has been
scarce. 1t is expected that the arrival In
the islands of European laborers Will be q
solution of the Hawaiian labor problem.

few batsmen transgress in this regard

In regard to umpireS, to my mind,-be-

taken such a firm stand in the matter and
supports his umpires to the Letter. The
success of the game today is due more to
him than to any one in the country, for
he took hold of matters when things We're
In bad way. Rowdyism was rampant

ODDS ARE NOW
3 TO | ON CANS

TONOPAH, New, December 27.-With the
arrival of fight critics and fans from the
east and west, betting on the Gans-Herman
championship bout has taken jump, and
today the rush of Cans money has forced
the odds to to g The wiser Herman back
ers are holding off even at this price, hoping
that the admirers Of the dusky fighter will
offer q to 1, when thousands Of dollars of
Herman money will pour into the big pool
rooms.
Men who are closely connected with the
game and who have studied the situation
thoroughly, declare that the Cans hackers
are offering to 1 and some 3 to l on Cans,
considering form against form, and not the
fighters as they stand today. If the dope
book is to be. judge In selecting the win
ner, they argue, then Cans should be 5
to l shot.
1t was learned here today that some of
Cans strongest admirers are taking the
Herman end at the to 1 odds, figuring
that at that price it Is taking a gambler s
chance With the incoming of the trains,
hundreds of fans from all parts of the
country are arriving, and betting on the
fight will be in full blast before Friday.
There is. however, a well-grounded i'm
preston that Cans and his following have
they have deliberately misrepresented things
and set about creating a false impression
that Cans is not himself, that he has not
trained as he should. that he fears Her
II,
the weight question, all for the purpose of
creating false betting SO that the Cans
faction could get their money down at good
odds.
Those who favor this belief claim the
cat is out of the bag now, that Cans is in
fine condition. and that he Is down to
| weight already.
From the start there has been an air of
mystery about the Cans camp that has
bafIied the investigators Cans has done
little real work in the public gaze beyond
his boxing and road work, and the last he
has done far from camp, where inquisitive
eyes could not tell just how hard he worked
himself.
His serious training has been done behind
locked doors, and his Weighing he has not
even allowed his seconds to see. No one but
Cans knows just how much he weighs, and
this secret Joe keeps to himself. His wor-
ried air seems to have forsaken him today.
The big Casino, headquarters Of the Tono-
pah fight club, as well as the lOunging place
for Cans, Herman and their trainers, and
also the meeting place OF all sports, reminds
one of Harry Corbetts fight headquarters
In San Francisco before the fire. 4.
Manager Riley's gambling house Is GER
tainly the center of attraction in southern
Nevada.
The continual crowds at the Casino de-
note In no small measure the interest being
taken in the contest All classes, from the
lahorer to the millionaire, are represented.
All talk of the fight. All will be at the ring
Almost all Will have bet down. The big
event will pull every man In this section to
the ringSide, and the clubs arena will be

Pitcher Bell Reinstated.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, December 27.-The
national base ball commission has granted
an application for reinstatement to George
C. Bell, who was carried on the reserve list
of the Brooklyn National League Club for
1906, but who refused to sign contract
rendered to him or report to the club dur
ing the past season. Bells reinstatement
is conditional upon his paying fine of 5000
In the last case of a similar character
before the commission fine of $50 was
inflicted, and the announcement Is made
that hereafter the fine will be increased
from time to time with a view to breaking
up the practice of players refusing to re-
port to clubs on whose reserve list their
names are carried.

TRADES ARE DIFFICULT,
SAYS WISE Mr.. MURPHY

CHICAGO, ILL.,, December 27.-Base ball
has reached such period of popularity in
this country, In the opinion of President
Charles w. Murphy of the Chicago Ma
donals. that no major league club ever
will dare to dispose of a star player for a.
cash consideration 1t is doubtful IL the
patrons of the game would remain silent
If magnate should trade a star for one
or more players. unless the bargain was
SO one-sided that every fan would see a
big advantage gained by his club.
1T has been getting harder and harder
for years to trade for star players" con-
tinued MIR. Murphy yesterday, while count
ing over the Christmas letters received from
ball players.
Last season every club in the National
League made money. Some did not make
as much as the Standard Oil Company but
there was a balance on the right side of
~ ledger.
UNLESS Manager Chance changes his
present plans. our players will don their
uniforms at the hotel where the team stays,
while on the road. we have done In
the past" said Mr.. Murphy.
The resolution recently adopted by the
National League simply makes 1t manda-
tory that each club furnish club house
for visiting teams. We expect to comply
with this and will spare no expense in do
ing So.

NO HORSE BLANKETS
FOR THE White SOX

CHICAGO. December 27.-President Com
iskey of the worlds champion White Sox
says he does not intend to decorate the
horses which draw his champs to and from
the grounds in outside towns.
When asked yesterday if he intended to
take advantage of his teams position at the
head of the base ball world and advertise
their superior class on horse blankets, Mr..
Comiskey said
why should I? I not in the show
business and my ball players are not freaks.
They don't want TO be held out as curiosi-
ties.
''As long as the Cubs are going to use
the blankets I'm satisfied. That will only
help to remind people that the White Sox
are champions of the world. No, l don't
go much on the circus business. l expect
the fans all along the line will be waiting
for the White SoX whether we decorate our
horses with blankets or not
"Of course. the Sox are the world beaters,
and naturally | don't care how much other
people emphasize that fact. AS for the Sox
themselves, / think they will carry them
selves with dignity, and 1 guess they will
be willing to let the others put the loud
pedal on our big title We won't swell up
because won the pennant."

SCRUTINIZING YALE'S
FOOT BALL EXPENSES

NEW HAVEN, December 27-It has been
expected that the Yale foot ball association
would announce it's financial account ever
since the season closed, but yesterday 1t
was learned that the sta tement is now in
the hands of the faculty, where it is be-
ing carefully examined. The members Of
that body are reticent the subject, but
it is learned from a reliable source that
every item is undergoing careful scrutiny
and that suggestions are being formulated
as to ways for eliminating and cutting down
the outlay another season.
The examination of the statement was
taken up just before the close of the fall
term and has not been finished. One men,
Der of the faculty said yesterday:
when the statement is returned to the
athletic association certain suggestions and
recommendation will accompany it. They
will point out where in the opinion of the
faculty there should have been curtailment
and where needless expenses have been in
Cured"
1t was learned that the faculty believe
that there has been a too lavish expendi-
ture of funds this season, although the ex-
penses were cut materially from those of
former seasons.

ROUGH SHEDDING
FOR MANAGER ARMOUR

TOLEDO Ohio, December 27.-It rather
looks as if Bill Armour had been beaten to
it up to date in his hunt for players by his
nearest rivals-Columbus and Indianapolis.
While Armour was able to land Barbeau of
Cleveland, Columbus grabbed Jackson of
Cleveland and Wicker and Jude of Gin
cinnati. and Indianapolis booked Siegle and
Livingstone of the Reds. while Carr also
has his lines out for another hard hitter
who was in the tri-state last season. The
former Cleveander made great effort to
secure Morgan from Detroit, but lost out
The hardest blow received by Armour, how
ever was when he received the news that
the Phillies had refused to waive claim on
knabe, who was a member of the Toledo
team a year ago. He belonged to Pittsburg
then, but when Pittsburg took Pitcher Cam
nitZ Manager Armour believed that Knabe
would revert to Toledo. Consequently he
will make great effort to arrange matters
so that knabe will return to the banks of
the Maumee. Another deal that does not
cause Armour to smile very broadly is the
one which sent Outfelder Judge to Column
bus, Armour thinking that when he fought
the Toledo club either Judge or Odwell
would be sent to him.

which, they say, means that the Hub team
will again be factor in the championship
race. Criger, one of the greatest catchers
that ever put on a mask, was practically
helpless from spinal trouble last winter and
was compelled to retire temporarily from
the game He recovered sufficiently to play
a few games last fall. and since then he
has regained all of his former health and
strength. With Criger behind the bat the
Boston pitchers will probably prove more
effective, with general brace up among
the rest of the players. A star catcher is
nearly half a ball team. Without Criger
the Boston Americans went to pieces. In
