Tearney Makes Fight.
President Tearney of the Three
! Eye league, whose membership in
Glass b was threatened, made a long
and determined fight to delay reclas-
sification. or to instruct the board
not TO reduce the classification of
leagues, which may have fallen be-
low the population requirements.
Mr.. Tearney admitted that his
league was shy about $4,000 persons
from the population required for
class b leagues. He finally secured
the adoption of a resolution recon-
mending to the board that it use
every effort to secure the consent of
the national commission to allow
leagues whose classification is in
jeopardy to retain present rating.
San Antonio, Tex, secured next
years meeting.
While the status of both the
Three-Eye and the Western league is
under the 1910 census, it is believed
that the old agreement that the lat
ter had with the American associa-
ton will protect it's interests against
reduction in classification. There is
no disposition to question the
authenticity of the agreement, al
though it was a verbal one.

Mr.. Sections election yesterday was
for period of five years, and that of
Secretary Farrell for 10 years, the lat

with the national playing rules COM
mittee with a view of securing the en-
actment of a law barring triple head
ers.
President Pat Powers of the East
ern league represented that circuit at
the session yesterday, but did not at
tempt to start anything. though giving
it out that he considered his circuit
and the American association entitled
to higher classification than the 9th
ers now rated as class A.
Has Rcpndinted Agreement
President Powers said:
81 don't know whether | shall be
head of the Eastern league again or
not, but l can say to you that the East
ern league has, as you know. repudiat-
ed the 10-year agreement of the asso-
citation. That does not expire until
next year, however. and | can say to
you there is no disposition to start
anything this year. We do not want
to be a major league, but we do want
a higher place.
81 can add, also, that in this the
Eastern association is not in partner
ship with the American association,
as has been suggested. My league has
had no correspondence in the last yeaf
in regard TO that"
Following his remarks the associa
ton altered its constitution to pro
duce the following results:
Hereafter there will be eight mem
bers of the arbitration board.
Money going through the secretary's
hands to the credit of defaulting play

HONOLULU. July 3o.-The carrying
out Of the provisions of a recently en-
acted city milk ordinance has brought
Honolulu face TO face with threat
ening milk famine through the compul-
sorv destruction of more than one-third
of the cows in the local dairies. The
ordinance provides for the licensing of
dairies after the cows have been ex-
amined by the territorial veterinarian
and pronounced clean from disease
while an examination has led to the
discovery that $50 out of the first II42
tested are affected with tuberculosis
These tests were conducted by Dr.
n. Nordgaard. who finds that in some of
the city dairies 75 per cent, and in one
instance 100 per cent. Of the milk stock
is affected. He has, accordingly, or
dered the destruction of the animals.
AS the federal law allows the sale
of the meat OF tubercular cattle for
food. provided the disease has not
reached certain organs. il has been ar
ranged TO delay the slaughter so that
the local beef market will not be
