AALA BASEBALL
PASSING CRISIS
Free Baseball. at Aala Park Is
Threatened by SpIitup of
Riversiders.

The baseball situation is still in a
bad way. The c. A. Cs. had a meet
ing on Friday night at which Sing
Chong, who was not present at the
Riverside League meeting last Thurs
day, presented the pros and cons of
the question as to whether they should
join the Riverside League again or
break away.
After much talking and discussion,
in which the conservative members ex-
pressed their wish to stay by the old
league in no unmeasured terms, it was
decided to leave the whole thing TO
President Goo Kim.
Mr.. Kim has a hard JOB ahead Of
him. He is man who can handle
the situation properly, however One
of the best-educated and level-minded
of the local Chinese, he is in a posi-
ton to size the situation up and de-
eide the best for his team.
History Of Pilikia.
Here is the history of the whole pill
kia in junior baseball circles. After
r the grand success of the Marathon
race to Haleiwa, a certain Portuguese,
by name A. K. Vierra, power in
junior baseball circles and who, by his
energy and local acquaintance, was
one of the main factors in the success
of the race, became nuchly peeved
when Jack Sculiy decided to pull off
a Marathon race at the league
grounds. He was not invited to be the
main squeeze and this raised serious
pimples on his Uranium.
writer of the Advertiser by a local
newspaper man shortly afterwards.
The said A. K Vierra flew off the
handle and wrote very violent letter
to the Bulletin in which he crucified
the Advertiser sporting writer. Find
irg that he was wrong he wrote an
apology in the same paper, but still
froze onto the idea that he controlled
the baseball situation and was the big
cit"
In order to make his power felt
he notified the press agents and scor-
ers of the various leagues-and they
are many-of which he is president,
not to give any news to the Advertiser.
Scores were obtained with difficulty
and news of the Military League base
ball games was obtained only after a
circumvention of the wall that the
president of the league had built
around all games at which he knew
that it would be impossible for an
Advertiser reporter to attend.
A Friendly Appearance.
All this time Mr. Vierra maintained
a semblance of friendliness to the Ad-
vertiser. In two cases he fixed it so
that the Military League results were
not turned INTO the Advertiser and,
when asked why, he passed it off with
the excuse that he had Forgotten
about it,
Then came the idea of A. V. Gear
that a new baseball ground in the

Eeighb0rhood of Aala park, where adj
mission was charged, would be good
thing. Just how much this had to do
with Vierra's splitting up the River
side League is not known. But the
fact remains that the proposition to
start a new ball ground and the split
ting up Of the Riverside League came
al just about the same time.
President Resigns.
There was meeting of the River
side League at which suggestions were
made for changes in the bylaws These
suggestions were not timely nor were
they right. Three teams stood together
and il looked very much as though they
Were trying to keel-haul the other two
teams. But subsequent events prove
that this was not the case.
The c. A. Cs and the J. A Cs. were
the two injured teams and they with
drew from the league while Vierra put
IN his resignation as president. He
made no effort whatever to smooth over
the trouble but stood by the same old
Ego atque Ego" policy.
Then the Riverside League met again
and elected Jack Atkinson as president

soon had things smoothed over but the
c. A Cs were still under the influence
of the Reach exploiters and it seems
that they will not return to the River
side League.
A Meeting Tomorrow.
There will be meeting of the league
tomorrow afternoon at 1915 in Mr..
Atkinson s office and it is expected that
Mr.. Goo Kim will be present. At this
meeting the whole pilikia will be taken
up and it viii be left to Mr.. Kim
to decide for the best interests of his
team
The idea of the new ball park pro-
motors is to erect fence round a lot
Eva of Aala Park, to erect bleachers
, and to maintain baseball games and
other sports. They will charge admis.
sion, probably 10 and rs cents. They
expect to put in about $4,000 and hope
to soon take that amount away from it
A. v Gear, local real estate man, is
at the head of the scheme and he is
| very enthusiastic as to it's success
In order to draw the crowd away
from Aala Park a strong movement has
/ been started to eliminate free baseball
there. The Supervisors have been ap-
| preached and threats of lost votes in
| the future have been made. But il
does not seem probable that the Vier
IA clan will be able to stop the great
est athletic institution on the Island
free baseball by young enthusiasts at
Aala Park.

Helena, Mont, May THE state

the pardon extended to Train Dis

Mr. Knox was a member Of the senate

cabinet officers was passed.
Congress later sought to come to the
relief OF Mr. Knox with legislation en-
acted during the last days OF the last
congress.
Good lawyers In both house and sem
ate have said privately. however, that
the later legislation would not hold
water, and Mr.. Knox would have to
vacate his place at the head or the

was ever properly challenged.
