who kept him posted. Sometimes they
telegraphed news TO him In cipher,
but those In England were nearly al
ways instructed to write. AT that pc
riod his principal agent, who was also
his chief partner. was In Sheffield and
wrote him from there warning MIN to
sell out all iron interests for the time
on account of the Whitworth crisis.
Hobart had frequent tits of irritabil-
ity, and he had been receiving lot of
unstamped letters OF no importance on
which be had TO pay double postage.
One morning in anger be gave orders
that such letters were TO be returned
to the postman. The very first un-
stamped letter received after this was
from his partner. 1t was rejected as
soon as 1t arrived.
Consequently. knowing nothing OF

important private news It contained.

RUTGERS FOR
RULE REVISION
IN FOOTBALL

New Brunswick, Dec. 18:-The
faculty committee on athletics, Of
which Or. Louis Bevier, Jr., is chair
man, has decided upon the attitude
Rutgers will take toward the agita-
tion against football in its present
form.
The committee went over the
ground carefully and came to its
conclusions with regard to football
They will report to the faculty and
their attitude will undoubtedly be
accepted by that body. 1t is reason
ably safe, therefore, to say that the
position of this committee, as stated
by DR.. Bevier, will be the attitude
of the college in the matter. DR.. Be-
vier Is himself the representative Of
the Rutgers faculty at the meeting of
the intercollegiate association ON De-
cember 28 or 29.
He said that there were four alter
natives before the committee at their
meeting, as indeed there is before
the intercollegiate Association. The
game may be retained as 1t is, 1t may
be displaced by soccer football, the
game may be entirely dropped or the
rules may be revised. While they
did not think that the deaths of the
seasons games were of such a nature
as to warrant the abolishing. of the
game entirely, the committee did
think that they were serious enough
and numerous enough to make 1t i'm
possible to retain the game as It Is
They were not favorable, however
to the displacing of the present game
by soccer football. Their final posi-
tion was that there were still many
ways Of eliminating the possibilities
OF serious injury by careful revis-
ion of the rules.

ROPER DIRECTOR OF
: PRINCETON ATHLETICS

Princeton, Dec. 1S:--A sensation
is to be sprung in Princeton athlet-
les today at the meeting of the Grad
uate Committee on Athletics. After
filling the vacancy on the committee
caused by the death of G. G. Cuylef,
'79, the committee is expected to
choose .BiH Roper, '02, as director
of athletics, and 1t is whispered that
his salary will be big enough to make
him forget the tempting offers from
the west, where he was 80 successful
as ball coach last season.
There is good deal of talk about
the training system and changes al
SO are likely there. But the coming
of Bill Roper Is likely to mean a
great deal In that direction, for his
success with the Orange and Black
teams of 1906, 1907 and 1908 are
keenly remembered by Princeton
ians.

SCHOOL TEAMS
TO PLAY AGAIN

Both the Interseholastie games will
take place at Kamehameha ground this
afternoon. A rumor has been going
round town that the Saints wanted to
play Punahou on Aala Park or at Alex
ander field, but this was passed over
and it was decided last night to play
both games on the Kan diamond.
Everybody has heard about the excit-
ing and keen situation in this league.
The four teams are tied. Each has
played four games and won two and
nobody can hazard a guess as to who
Will win out. 1t is firm belief with
many of the fans that they viii end
up with all four teams tied and will
have to play short series to decide
the winner.
One of the keenest fans in town is
George Hernandez, the comedian of the
Eileford company at the Orpheum
George never misses a chance at a ball
game and he is very much bucked up
over the school series. He states that
these lads could hand out a hot one
to most any school on the Coast with
boys of their age and, when a matinee
comes in the way of his watching one
of the games, he catches hold of some
body who has seen the game and in
sists on being told all about it.
The first game will be between the
Puns and the Saints. In the second
game the High School will try another
one with the Hams. The lineups will
be about the same as usual. Milikaa
will do tho trirlin0 FOR tba Ean,S
Pedro and Espinda will probably work
their oracular combination for the
Saints while Henry Chillingworth and
Lota win doubtless fill the box for
the High School and Punahou teams.
The first game will start at 1880 and
there will be plenty of excitement from
shat time until the second game
finishes. Whichever two teams come
out ahead, it is einch that they will
have to work overtime to get there.

GREAT SEASON
Intimate Gossip of Personnel
of the Different AaIa
Teams.
BY w. Tin Chong.

The Riverside Baseball League is
since it was organized. Tie class Of
ball which the teams of this year are
going to put up will surpass anything
Of it's kind seen here before at the
Aala diamond. Nearly all the clubs
are signing up The best of players,
and practise is now going on daily to
prepare for the coming season, which
will start within the next few weeks.
It is hard to state at this time as
to which will be the best team in the
year 1909. The japanese A C. and
the Chinese A. c. seem to be the best
of the five. In the Nippon nine, it is
well believed by many that this team
will have one of the strongest lineups.
Of course, it will not be of all Japa-
nese ball players, as it is impossible
to put up a team that can play
against any kind of a baseball team
picked from the Aala diamond.
Espinda, who was formerly pitcher
| for the Palama A. c., champions of
| 1908. is said to have signed with the
Banzais. Just how Espinda happened
| to have signed with the Nippons,
everybody is trying to find out. Lul-
| ming, Flores and Motley are the other
Riverside League stars who will wear
| the Nippon colors.
| In the Chinese aggregation, strong
| team has been selected from the drag
| onlets who know more than little
! about playing the national pastime
| The Chinese nine will be greatly I'M
proved from that of last season, and
/ great hopes are with the dragonlets
this year in winning the pennaHt
Sing Chong, Chi Bui, Akina, F. Akana
/ and other star performers of baseball
have signed.
A glimpse at the official lists of the
| other three teams shows that there Is
! hardly any show for them. The Pa.
lamas are, perhaps. the worst of the
| bunch All that is remaining of las
years champions are few Of the
/ players of the Riverside Junior class
/ There are only Paaluhi, Hoopai ane
two or three others of the regular
team of last season who have so fal
signed Walker and Bailey have sign
ed with the Aalas, and Espinda viii
| wear a kimono this season.
The Chinese Alohas will be made III
of IT, S. Marines. About twelve 81
the eighteen players are now in the
III. S. NJ c. team. Although with {
Chinese name, not a single son from
the land of the dragon flag has so fal
signed How team composed o.
| nearly all white men and Hawaiian:
is playing under a Chinese name il
incomprehensible. Aalas will stand
the best chance of the three. N. Hoo
PAL and Benjamin Kane are working
hard for the foodoos, and it is hoped
that they will not be at the tail-ent
this year.
A season Of first-class baseball i:
expected, and all the Aala fans are
waiting anxiously for the opening da,
which will start the new season. TIT
officers are now busy in making prep
arations for the opening day, and i
will be a day that will long be remem
bered by the fans. The Riverside
League will receive the hearty sup
port of the fans of every nationalit,
