The proposal was vigorously as
sailed by Lau Tang. of the Chinese
Athletic Club, and Ed. Townsend and
John K. Motley, of the Japanese Ath-
letic Club. Captain Davis, of the
Marine team, asked to be excused from
the discussion at ALL as Major Long
would not, under any circumstances,
allow the Marines 10 play in the big
league. Paul Burns and Edwin Fer
nandez, of the Kalihi Athletic Club,
strongly urged the acceptance of the
proposal but the opposition was OBJ
durate.
After a great deal Of discussion,
during which it was plain that Meth
er side would yield, Chairman Mar
callino proposed that the Kalihi Ath-
letic Club be allowed to put in five
men. The following motion was then
put and acrried, the Marines not vot-
ing:
Motion-"That five members only Of
the Kalihi Athletic Clubs baseball
team be allowed to play in the games
of the Honolulu Baseball League dur
ing the season of 1909 without pre-
judicing or impairing their rights or
standing in this League"

MEET
THIS AFTERNOON

This Afternoon at 4 o'clock on the
Beretania courts will occur what
should, barring accidents, be the
greatest tennis battle ever witnessed
in Hawaii. For two seasons w. l..
arren, the present champion, has held
his own against all corners; but it is
believed that in Mr.. E. S. Gee he is up
against the hardest man in the Paci-
fic today.
These two men have a different style
of playing and both are masters of
his own style. Undoubtedly the rec
ord crowd of the year will be out to
witness the game

OAHU PLAYERS IN
THE MAJOR LEAGUE
FIVE KALIHI MEN ALLOWED TO
HELP OUT BIG LEAGUERS DUR
ING SEASON.

At a meeting Of the Oahu Baseball
League held in the office of Senator
Charles f. Chillingworth last even
ing, it was decided to permit FIVE
players of the Kalihi Athletic Club to
play with the big league during the
present season and not affect their
standing in their own league. This
information was communicated to Ma
mayer Falk last night and he, togeth-
er with Captain Paul Burns, will Sc
lect the players required.
Vice President A. Q. Marcallino pre-
sided at the meeting and l.. d. Tim
mons oficiated as secretary. All of
the teams in the League were repre-
scented. The following letter from Mr.,
Falk was read:
Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 4, 1909.
! To the President and Members of the
Oahu Baseball League
! Gentlemen:-In the interest of good
baseball in this city, l would respect
fully request that you allow men
playing in your league the privilege
of playing with the major league on
Saturday afternoons without in any
way prohibiting them from participant
ing in any and all Oahu League games
I make this request of you, realizing
that you have in your teams men who
would materially strengthen the big
league teams.
also realize that much benefit il
the way of experience might be de
rived by such men as took part il
any of these games. 1 would respect
fully ask that you take up the mat
ter as soon as possible before GU
opening games so as to allow ou
teams to draft players from your lea

he is actually bringing int ocontact
with the ball The mark which the
blow leaves upon a chalk-covered club
face is an unmlstakable indication of
this. A perfectly new ball also fire.
Guently loses sufficient of its super
nuous paint to show exactly what por-
ton of the club head has touched it.
On the other hand, it is unwise to,
draw any deduction from the sand
clinging to the club at one point or
another. The particular grains in
question may or may not be from the
center of the tee, and it by no means
follows that the ball has been strucf
bv the portion of the club immediate
" above them.
Indeed, the golfer on the hunt to
Law hisfau It's by the heels must show
all the alertness OF Sherloc Holmes
searching for clue. If he is unlucky
enough to top his drive, he should al
ways make a point of examining the
turf Immediately in front Of the tee
in order to discover whether the ball
has ben driven down on it. The
gaming score in the teeing ground,
which is the sign of shot driven
hard down into it, is easily distin-
guishabe from the gentle impression
made by the ball which is merely hit
on the top and trundled off the tee.
1t is of the first Importance, should
there be a mark on the teeing ground,
to notice how it lies with regard to
the original position of the tee-whe-
Their it is stranght in front, or to one
side or the other of that direction.
If. for instance, it IS to the left of it,
the ball has been struck either with
the heel of the CLUB or with the face
of hte club turned in, while If it be
to the right of the straight line, the
drive has probably been taken off the
toe. If the club-head be turned out,
if is pretty well bound to be turned
nm at the same time, so that topped
| ball is in this case almost an impos-
sibility.
The following from the rules of golt
committee of st. Andrews clearly in
dcates their attitude that players
should turn in their cards Immediate
" on completing the round in medal
play competitions under the rue call
ing for them as soon as is reasonably
! possible.
| Tavistock G. CO. A stroke com
petition and DOGGY tournament were
held on the same day. Since the pre-
vious competition the DOGGY score had
been altered, and also the handicap
of the members. A entered for both
the stroke and DOGGY events; he was
one of the members whose handicap
had been altered On completing the
round he retained his card during the
time of lunching-a period OF 45 min
utes-in order to make 1t Up in &C
cordance with the altered conditions
of the DOGGY score and the adjusted
conditions of his cwn handicap. A
returned the lowest score under the
handicap in the score competition, but
the green committee disqualified him,
holding thato he had not returned his
card as soon as It was reasonably
possible. as this decision correct?
A. AS the green committee of the
Tavistock Golf Club is apparently sat-
isfied that A did not return his card
as soon as was reasonably possible,
he should be disqualified.

WILL PLANT TREES
ON YERBA BUENA
Navy Department Agrees tc
Forestration Plan Proposed
by Chamber of Commerce

OAKLAND, July s.-The endeavor
of the chamber Of commerce to
induce the federal government to
plant trees along the naked slopes
of Yerba Buena island has met
with much success, according to re-
ply to the chamber from Commander
E. w. Eberle, commandment at the naval
training station on the island. Com
nander Eberle in his letter to the
chamber says that the question of the
forestration of the portion of the
island under the control of the navy
department has been in progress for
several years and that nearly all of
that portion of the island has been
planted with young trees.
It is also declared to be the purpose
of those connected with the training
station to continue this planting and
gradually work around to the western
slope of the island The entire south
section of the island, from the fence
near the wireless station to the beach,
is the property of the United States
lighthouse service and does not come
under the control of the navy depart
ment This section of the isfanc is
practically devoid of yrees, and is the
norton of the island generally viewed
by those who pass back and forth on
the ferry boats. The high point of the
island directly opposite the Key route
pier is the property or the war depart
ment and is also devoid of trees.
The chamber of commerce will in the
near future endeavor to have the other
two important branches of the federal
government located on the island take
up the project of forestration of the
entire island.
