60 Sank Center.

The girls training school, pro-
vision for which was made by the
Legislature last winter, will be To-
Gated at Sank Center, Stearns
County. This was decided upon
at a meeting of the State Board of
Control in st. Paul, after discus
sion of the advantages offered by
each Of the proposed sites.
The Sank Center site was Sc

of 1853 acres, has frontage on

NO PRACTISE
FOR TWO WEEKS
Baseball League so Decided at
Special Meeting Held
Yesterday.

The Honolulu Baseball League met
at noon yesterday at the office Of
Frank E. Thompson. Present were
President D. P. R. Isenberg, Secretary
Treasurer Thompson, F. E. Steere.
Punahous; Lester Petrie, Diamond
Heads; U. Lemon, Rams. ST. Louis
Athletic Club was unrepresented.
President Isenberg said that he had
called the meeting because there had
been a statement in the papers about
the trustees and himself having refus-
led the league ground to the teams for
practise. He said that heretofore the
date of the opening of the ground for
practise had been decided on by vote
at a meeting of the league. He did
not think that either he or the league
should be blamed for the stand taken
in the matter the other day. Personal
ly he thought that the ground might
be used for practise provided the dia-
mond were left alone.
Petrie said that if the boys were
allowed on the ground it would be
impossible to keep them from playing
on the diamond.
1t was moved by Lemon and duly
seconded that the ground be not used
for practise until after the annual
meeting of the league on the 10Th inst.
The motion was carried and the meet
ing adjourned.
The ball park has been replotted the
entire extent Of the diamond and has
been thoroughly fortified and earthed.
The driveway has been filed with coral
and rolled and the ground as a whole
is in better shape today than it has
ever been before. The dry season, it
is true, has retarded the growth of
grass, somewhat, but the diamond will
be green enough by the time the f1rss
game is called.
There is a proposition on foot to set
aside one of the bieachers for children
who will be admitted on payment of
ten cents.
A special provision will probably be
made for the accommodation of autos
during the coming season and the ma
chimes will probably be parked on the
Waialae side of the old bleacher.
The trustees of the Honolulu Base
ball League are: j. NJ, Dowsett, Harry
Whitney, c. F. Chillingworth. L. A.
Thurston and D. P. R. Tsenberg.
