improvements.

The Oahu league baseball series of
1911 will start on the first Sunday in
April at Athletic Park. The new man
agement of the ball ground made ad
vances recently looking to arranging
terms with the league to continue as
the main attraction at the park and
the league held a special meeting last
evening to decide on a basis for nego-
tiating and how to take the matter
up with the new park owners.
1t was first decided to appoint
committee to negotiate an agreement
between the league and the Athletic
Park management. Some wanted An
tonic Marcallino, tie manager of the
league. to attend to it, but this was
opposed on the ground that the ar
rangements he might make as tenta-
tive would have to be threshed out
by the league and the whole thing
could be sifted down better by a com,
mittee, consisting Of all the team man
ayers of the league with MarcallinO as
chairman. Captain Ramsey, of the Ma
rines: Manuel Paresa. of the Port
uguese team: Tin Yen of the Chinese
team, and J. X. Motley Jr. of the Japa'
neSe team were named as the commit
/ tee with Marcallino as chairman. Mar
callino was instructed to conduct the
negotiations with the aid of the others
/ in an advisory capacity. In this way
it was figured an agreement could be
drafted in definite shape that would
meet with the sanction of both parties
and could be approved by the league
without delay.
Teams May Take Stock.
\ suggestion was offered by the new
owners of Athletic Park that each team
of the league take a small block OF
stock in the corporate management OF
! the park. which might be paid for out
of the league s share of the gate re
ceipts during their baseball series. Thu
proposition was favorably received by
, the majority of the league as 1t woult
tend. it was thought, to MAINTAIN
harmony between the teams of TIT

the PLAYERS to work for the success o
, the park. The only objection to tn
league buying stock in the park wa
voiced by Marine Cav. While h
, seemed to favor the idea he said tina
the Marines never knew how long the.
were going to remain here. Some o
. the Marine team had been transterre
70 the Philippines recently and tn
; others might be ordered away at an
; time. It was suggested, however, tina
= possibly an arrangement might be mad

back their share of the stock at an
: time that they might be called ava
t and refund them the money.
The representatives of the press ne,
came in for consideration. They shou
