the Mongolia this morning after vic
torious tour in the Orient. So the
league management got together yes
terday afternoon and arranged the final
details of the big baseball doings.
Charlie Chillingworth and Harry Whit
ney were present representing the trus-
tees and it did not take the meeting
long TO get down to business.
The most important matter that came
9kap was an arrangement which was eff
fected with the Kalanianaole League
10 not play any games at Aala park on
either January 81 or February Z, but
instead 10 play one game at the league
park as an introduction to the big
game. This offer wars accepted unani-
mously
This offer of the Cupid league is fine
business and is a good way out of
difficulty. There will be no counter
attraction at Aala park, yet the Cupids
viii lose only one day instead of two,
as they will play the first of the games
scheduled for next Sunday ON that date
and the second game on the following
Sunday, at the league park.
Reception Arranged.
Charlie Falk, Fred. Steere and Eddie
Fernandez were appointed commit
tee on reception and they Immediately
got together to arrange for proper
greeting for the visitors. The Mongo-
liza is due in the morning and there
is no means of telling whether she be
late or not, but it is reasonable to
suppose that Mique and his players
will land about ten O'Clock in the
morning. The band will be there, of
course, and will doubtless play "See
the Conquering Hero Comes, or some
thing equally appropriate when Dever
eaux, known as "Red Dog steps
down the gangway.
Eddie Fernandez was also told off to
arrange parade. This will take place
tomorrow Immediately before the game
and it is expected that some novel feat
ures will be introduced. Another sug-
gestion, opposed to the water wagon
idea, is that Mique be arrayed as
Baechus, attired principally IN leis COM
posed of lemon peel This would be
very effective and poetieal if not OBJ
jected to by the police,
Every afternoon that there is game
to be played, special car viii leave
Fort and King to convey the visitors
out to the park. There will, OF course,
be the usual bevy of cars to convey
fans from Pawaa junction direct to
the ball grounds and many of the King
stree. ears will run direct to the
grounds instead of turning off to 60 to
Waikiki.
Bert Bower to Umpire.
The natural selection for umpire for
the series was Bert Bower. Bert made
a wonderful record last season out at
the grounds and nobody who was there
will soon forget the reception he re-
ceived when returning to the diamond
after lapse caused by foolish and in
discriminate kicking on the part of
some of the players. w. H. Babbitt
will, as usual, act as scorer, this time
without the dread prospect of having
to figure out stolen bases.
The Saturday and Wednesday games
will start at 3 O'Clock while the first
game on Sunday will be called at l &c
sharp. All games will have to start
promptly ON time on account of the
light lasting none too long, so those
who wish to see the opening of the
first big game had better get out in
good time The sale of season tickets
is going along in a. rather desultory
manner. This tells nothing about the
probable gate receipts, however, a:

seats. If you don't believe this, ask
