WHAT C0MSxFY THINKS

The following Is the text of the
letter received by Bert Bower from
Comiskey, setting forth reasons why
Fernandez should have been called
out on doubling back from first base
along the line toward home plate:
Mr.. Bert Bower, Umpire, Honolulu
u. b. League. Honolulu. T. II.
Dear Sir:-Yours of May 27th to
hand and will state in reply that de-
cisions made by umpires that are not
covered by laws require that per-
son see the play come of, before he
can very well tell whether the UNI
pire is right or wrong in his decision |:
but 1t has always been the custom of
umpires in this country, when a play
er comes up as did yours. that imme-
diately after the first baseman starts
in toward the runner and the runner
retreats toward the home base, the
umpire will then call out, you are
out" His reason for calling out the
batsman, who then becomes a base
runner, is that he delays the game,
and II is under that ruling that the
decision Is made.
"Haping that | have made my an
swer clear enough to you and that ]
may hear from you again as to what
YOU think of the White Sox coming
to Honolulu in the spring, and as to
the best people to correspond with
there in regard to the same, remain,
Yours very truly,
CHARLES A. COMISKEY."

BRITT BOOSTS NELSON

Manager Willis Britt is boosting
Nelson's stock. Willis states that
when he left Battling Nelson Sunday
the Dane was enjoying life to the ut
most limit and would be In the prop
err mood to start the regular grind of
training Friday, on which date he
will move to Joe Millett's resort.
Nelson will leave Mendenhall Springs
on Thursday, arriving here the next
day. Britt says that the fight fans
who are under the impression that
the Battler Is all in physically will
be very much surprised when they
see him shape up. THAT Dane trav-
els for hours over the rough roads
and trails in the mountains looking
for game without showing the least
bit of fatigue" said Britt. "He hal
me dizzy chasing him, and took
comfort in sitting on stump of a
tree waiting for him to finish his
hunting expeditions. know 1t Is Il
hard matter to try and convince
Cans admirers that Nelson will give
Joe the toughest time, OF his life on
the Fourth, but as Nelson has yet to
take the count. 1t can readily be seen
that the Dane is far from being an
easy mark. Cans will have to knock
him out inside of fifteen rounds to
win, for II Nelson sticks that long
he'll surely prove too rugged for his
clever adversary, and for the life OF
me | can't figure where the colored
champion can lambast him into in
sensibility in fifteen rounds when he
couldn't do it In forty-twO rounds
when he was two years younger"

He shot A NEGRO

Congressman Thos. J. Helm of Ala
bama, in a desperate affray the night
of March q in Washington, shot
Thomas Lumby, negro, in the head
and, unintentionally, put a bullet in
the leg of Thomas McCreary, a New
York horse trainer. Helm was on his
way in a car to deliver a temperance
lecture at a Methodist church. Lum-
by was taking a drink from a whisky
bottle, when Helm demonstrated with
him, saying ladies were on the car and
it was against the law to drink in a
public place. Another negro tried to
take the bottle away from Lumby but
failed Lumby became offended at Hef-
lin and applied vile epithets to him.
AS the car reached Sixth street and
| Pennsylvania avenue Helm and Lum-
by were engaged in a desperate strug-
gle, which ended in Heflin's throwing
, the negro to the ground. Lumby arose
and began cursing Leflin and made a
motion for his hip pocket as if to draw
a pistol, Whereupon Mr.. Helm fired at
him through the car window, missing
the negro and hitting MI, McCreary,
who with his vile and most of the 9TH
er passengers had hastily alighted. Mr.
