two acres in clover and timothy upon
which one cannot find a bare spot

seeding it in the spring of 1901 it has
been moved five times and could
have been moved again this month,

private vow, so common among even
the worst in Mexico. Knowing his
people, he understood we'll how the
man chafed under the constant gal
ling sense of obligation to one he
little less than hated. His mind was
made up. Silently he moved over to

not regret what he had done, he did
not consciously fear for the result,

With sudden fear he brushed away

consequences that seemed to assault
his courage in a thousand ugly forms.

retain possession of money earned by
the st. Louis team in the exhibition
Fleet games, serving me notice on the
4th of November the letter reaching
me on my return to Honolulu, that he
considered all agreements made prior
to the Coast games off. This notice,
if effective, could have been served on
representatives of the team in Homo

bered that several of the st. Louis
players were on the local team and
did not doubt but that it might affect
their playing were this determination

This is the stand of the ST. Louis

The following is the letter from
Gleason which brought out Fishers
statement:
Owing to the continued criticism of
the St. Louis team and myself about
the projected game with the Coast
team, / am compelled, much against
my inclination, to set forth the facts.
Sunday last I was approached by Mr..
Fisher at the ball grounds with
proposition to play a game on the re-
turn of the team from HiIo on the
basis of IS per cent. and % per cent;
this was a simple business proposition
and nothing was said or thought of in
connection with benefit. I told him
that 1 would talk the matter over with
the team. On Monday L saw him and
told him that the team would play on
the 90 per cent. Coast, 40 per cent. st.
Louis basis. This he would not con-
slider. on Tuesday I again saw him
and a virtual agreement was made on
a basis of 20 per cent. Coast, and 30
per cent St Louis. Meanwhile Mr..
Fisher went to consult his team and
returned with the proposition to play
on the 20 per cent. Coast. % per cent.

ton came through a third party. and
while the matter was in my hands for
acceptance, Mr.. Fisher withdrew the
