MORNING GAMES
At AALA PARK
President Vierra Gives New
Light on Trouble in
League.

There win be two games of base I
ball this morning at Aala Park in the
Kalanianaole Baseball League. The
usual big crowd will probably be on
hand to witness the games and fast
play should be seen.
The following letter. in relation to
the dispute over the disbarment of one
of the players, should be interesting
to those who have followed the course
of this league:
Honolulu, September IA, 1907.
Editor Advertiser: In reference to
an article in this mornings issue,
kindly permit me space to contradict
the erroneous statements which were
intended as means of retaliation on
decision given by myself as president
affecting the interests of one OF the
teams of the league.
Upon accepting the office OF presl-
dent. | informed the various represen-
tatives that I would show no partial
ity to any team or teams and tnat my
! actions would be in accordance with
orr constitution and bylaws, and pre-
vailed on them to preserve discipline
| at all times and that harmony shouid
| be the predominating spirit among us.
NV action in regard to the matter
of G. Makanui evidently affected the
| interests of the team to which he be-
| Iopped hut. as to safeguarding the
| other teams. I felt duty bound, as
much as 7 regretted in the interests
of sport, to disbar him. and acted I'M
| mediately and sent notice TO the
| team that claimed him as player
| about one week before a meeting night
NV action for so doing was to prevent
protests which would be based on the
| fact that he was a Winter League
player. and thereby cause us an unhIn-
lied number of protests and also oe7
laying the schedule.
on said meeting night, PROOF as &c
his being a Winter League player wax
nroduced and attested by every repre-
sentative of the members present a,
I; said meeting. Time was asked by salc
team TO contradict said allegations anu
TINA was granted until the regular
meeting. at which meeting the team
5 was represented, but there being M
! onorum. the meeting was postponed Z
