HILO WILL NOT PAY FOR
SANTA CLARA'S VISIT
The Expenses of Trip to Volcano for Visitors
viii Be Paid by the Honolulu
Baseball League.

The Santa Clara team will leave for
Hilo this morning aboard the Mauna
Kea, and they will take their baseball
suits with them, but it seems hardly
likely that they viii play there. The
people of Hilo seem to want fence
built for them as well as getting the
whole world and they have not shown
any desire to sign a reciprocity treaty
with tne Honolulu basepall League.
Honolulu wanted to send the Santa
Clara boys to Hilo and give them a
chance to see the volcano. The league
went to very large expense to bring
the Keios and Santa Claras here and
are still in the hole. They naturally
thought that the Hilo people would be
only too glad to stand the comparative
ly small expense of taking the visitors
over there to play couple of games
with picked Hifb team, and see the
volcano.
It is one thing to think and another
to have the other man agree with you.
The Hiloites did not agree. They said
that they would be glad to see the
Santa Clara players if the Honolulu
league would pay for the grounds and
also put up about $25 for other ex-
penses The price they asked for the
use of the grounds was 500
In other words, after Honolulu had
risked a large sum of money to bring
the collegians over here, had treated
them like visiting princes and rooted
for them on the bleachers and grand
stand, had gone in the hole on their
investment and turned to Hilo to help
them out in giving the Hawaiians a
chance to see these great players in
action, Hilo came back with a reply
that meant, owe should be very glad
to have the Santa Clara team visit
Hilo and see them play ball; we will
play them without expense to you, and,
if you will pay their expenses over
here, pay for the grounds and other
expenses, we will contribute what is
left of the gate receipts, if anything. ;"
After several aerograms had passed
between Charlie Falk and the Hilo
management on the subject, the latter
agreed to pay for the grounds and con-
tribute twenty-five per cent. of the re-
ceipts from the ball games towards the
expenses. 1t is evident that the Hilo-
ties wanted to have the Santa Claras
visit their town and see them play
ball, but they wanted to keep the
money in the family and have Homo
lulu pay for their fun.
Another light on the Hid methods is
thrown by the fact that the Keios will
play series in Hilo, where there are
thousands of enthusiastic japanese ball
fans. 1t is safe to say that the re-
ceipts from these games viii be enor-
nous and that the Hilo management
will make large profit. Yet they
have made no offer to assist the Ho-
nolulu league by contributing any of
the profits towards the expenses of
bringing theY Keios from Japan.

FIGHT PICTURES
DRAW CROWDS

A large crowd of interested specta-
tors watched the pictures of the Gun
ner NOR Tommy Burns fight at
the Empire Theater last night.
The place was full at the afternoon
show and, when the doors opened for
the first evening display, the place was
unable to hold all those who were
anxious for a sight of the pictures.
The pictures were wonderfully clear
and were appreciated by the people
who watched them, among whom there
was a large percentage OF women.
While one turn of the films was going
on there were people waiting outside
for admission and the first chance of
seats for the next show.
Some of the remarks heard in the
theater were very amusing. The men
took the fight phlegmaticaily, for they
knew who was going to win and the
only thing that interested them was
the sight of fight fans IN evening
dress. This called for many comments.
One small man who was squeezed IN
between two big ones and had hard
time to see anything. remarked in
very British voice ''Oh, / say, even
ing dress and fifteen guineas for
seat, Nv word, | wish | were rich
The women seemed to sympathIZe
with the loser and there were many
expressions of pity when Moir was
knocked down in the third round. One
fair witness of the pictures remarked
that she couldn t see anything wrong
with prize-fghts and wondered why
women were not allowed to go and see
them.
The management states that they
will run the pictures as long as the
public appears interested.

SPORT SPLUTTERS.
Diamond, Ring, Track, Field,
Wave.

There are many very clever amateur
boxers on this island, and few of them
have had a chance to show their Prov
ess in regular amateur bouts. The
suggestion has been made and taken
up by the Independence Athletic Club
to hold series of strictly amateur
contests for boxers III all classes.
Gold medals for the winners and sill
yer medals for the runners-up will be
given, and there is little doubt that a
large list of entries in all classes will
be the result.
Among the local athletes there are
many who are very handy with the
gloves. and they would be encouraged
in this sport, than which there is no
finer when it is INDUCED in purely for
the sport of the game.
The local baseball players can pro-
duee some good ones. Both Sam and
Bob ChilIingworth are very good, and
they could make it hard for anybody
in the weller and lightweight divisions.
Then there is Ed Ingham, who can
step some in the weller class, Sam
} johnson, middleweight; Ben Jordan
at 133 pounds, and many others too
numerous to mention.
These amateur tournaments, when
properly conducted have always PROV
ed a great success, and have encour-
aged Youthful athletes to 90 in for
boxing which IS one of the greatest
muscle developers and nerve trainers
in the world.
The amateur bouts held under the
auspices Of Jim Jeffries and De Witt

a bedroom on the second floor OF the
old Cropsey mansion in Eighty-fourth
street, Bath Beach, in which his an
cestors had lived for more than two
hundred years, Andrew Bergen Crop
sey, 80 years cid, lineal descendant
of Caspar Cropsey, famous Long ISL
and pioneer, fired four shots at his
wife, killing her instantly.
It's a rash act, and ] suppose I'll
be executed for it," was Cropsey's
remark to Policeman John Thrall,
while he extended his hands and per-
mitted the policeman to handcuff
him. The mans two small sons con-
tinued TO play in a front room on
the first floor of the mansion while
their father was taken to the Bath
Beach police station, charged with
the murder of their mother.
From his statement to the police
Cropsey had not lived with his wife
since early in last November. They
separated, evidently on an agree

the Cropsey homestead, located at
1749 Eighty-fourth street, he did not
live with her.
Evidently Cropsey went to Brook

his wife. He never had been known
to carry revolver. He was veter-

as to these charges"
Mr.. Cathcart then proceeded to deal
with the charges made against him by
the Advertiser, taking them mp In de-
tail and refuting them with presenta-
ton of facts supported by documents.
He presented the fact that Goo Wan
Hoy. was not his client, and In hand.
ling the alleged $500 embezzlement af-
fair showed that after having paid Goo
Wan Hoy various sums of money. he
was not only out his own attorneys
fee but the litigation had cost him s.
more than he received.
In the MacDougall case, Cathcart
proved by wireless telegram received
from the Kona court that the Judgment

therefore Cathcart could never have
received the money.
In the Poppleton matter he showed
n receipt from Humphreys for full sat.
isfaction of the amount he is charged
with having taken. Mr.. Cathcart also
showed that the charge Of his having
cmbezzled money in the Chiffon case
was utterly false.
He then dealt with the Colburn and
Cliillingworth matters. He denied the
Colburn charge absolutely, pointing to
the unreasonableness of the charge
and also its indefniteness. In handling
ChillingwOrth, he asked why. II he,
Cathcart, wanted to make money cor
ruptly, he should divide any of the
supposed spoils with Chillingworth.
The proposition was preposterous.
You will have to take my word for II
gentlemen" said Cathcart.
Mr.. Cathcart then went into detail
as to the work Of his department and
of certain cases on which he has been
criticised by the Advertiser.

statement in regard to the Colburn
