PETERSBURG. VA, Sept. IA
meeting OF the Virginia League clubs
viii be held at the Stratford hotel
-morro afternoon, at which the
formal award of the 1911 pennant
will be made.
The affairs of the league for the
season just closed will be wound up
officers for the next season, and
a schedule committee will probably be
elected.
The season just closed was a quite
successful one under the direction of
President G. X. Williams, of Roanoke.
and he is a candidate to succeed him
self.
Charges against the Petersburg
club. brought by Manager Charles
Babb, of the Norfolk club. alleging
violation OF the salary limit by giving
a bonus to Second kaseman Guiheen
and other players, will be probed at
this meeting,
Following is from the Lynchburg
correspondent of a Washington news
pa per:
The fall meeting of the magnates.

been deferred to next Monday. and
the hour has been changed from :
O clock in the afternoon TO IL in the
forenoon, in order that the m~agnates
may be able to go home OF the after
noon trains spending the
night in the Cockade City.
The impression prevails that moth
ing more will be attempted during
the meeting han to award the PEN
nant and to hear the report of Presi-
dent Williams. That nothing will

the Petersburg team in that il paid a

he awarded to Busch's a and the
directors will go home to think about
the propositions TO be settled at tne
spring meeting.
An effort may be made, however. to
provide for an increased salary limit,
but this will hardly meet with the
approval of a majority of the teams,
and the league ID likely TO play nnder
the $1.400 monthly limit next season.
Recently while on a transforming
trip In Bluefield. w. Va, President
Williams. who vas accompanying the
team. and Pitcher Harry Draper De-
came involved in a controversy, in
which MIR. Williams is reported to
have been struck on the head with
II beer bottle and knocked down. His
injuries were not serious. In a state
ment credited to Mr.. Williams he Is
reported as saying he saw Draper
drinking beer at supper something
the players of the team had promised
TO eschew before starting on the trip.
He demonstrated with the player, and

announcement of the trouble caused
a big surprise over the circuit, be-
cause Draper was one of the most
gentlemanly players who came to
l~.ynchburg his year. Persons who
learned to kno within rs a player did
not think he was the sort OF a.
youngster to get into such a scrape,

THIS MORNING

The Elks wound up their 1911 car
niyal early this morning, after the
Wilhelmina had pulled away from the
Alakea wharf, taking the Shriner ex-
Cursion party to Hilo. There was
another big crowd at the show, though
Honolulu was celebration tired, and
the gathering was not as big .as on
the previous evening. f.\Et
The many sideshows were very well
Iatronized The performers at the
various local theaters lent their as
sistance, and this greatly helped in
the entertainment.
Shriners were very much in evil
Gence all the evening. The Wilhel-
nina came alongside the wharf early
and her presence added much to the
Carnival.
1t was a little after midnight when
the Shriners said their alohas and the
Wilhelmina steamed away. King Car.
rival still reigned for a while, but
soon the lights set going on Tuesday

WONDERFUL RUN
Continued from page six)

arose as Kaoo passed the twentieth
mile and then the one lap which King
had in the twenty first Kaoo was
ahead, and how the Hawaiians roared
King made another effort when Kaoo
was about a lap ahead, but it was
hopeless, and as Kaoo continued to run
steadily and smartly King dropped
further and further in the rear, and
stopped running again when Kaoo was
one and two-thirds laps ahead. Kaoo
was mile ahead before King resumed
running again, and for three laps he
continued at the same pace as Kaoo.
but the latter was running strongly
and easily while King plodded. The
twenty -third mile was passed by Kaoo
in 2:5O:1O, King being then one-ffth Of
a lap more than mile behind.
King Hopeless.
After completing the twenty second
mile King quit again. 1t was appar-
ent to all that he was hopelessly beat
en-, but he made another attempt when
Kaoo was one and two-thirds of mile
ahead. 1t was for second money that
King strove, for Charlie was still on
the track, though miles in the rear. In
the second lap of the twenty sixth mile
Kaoo Tapped King, who had dropped to
a walk, and he completed the full dis
lance in 3:15:57, King being two miles
and one-third of a lap in the rear, and
Charlie being five miles and half a
dap behind Though the conditions OF
the race called for the second man fin
ishing to get second money, it was de-
,cided to award second money to King.
So the great marathon ended. The
Waialua Horse, as years old, is still
sufficiently vigorous to beat the cham
'pion of the Pacific Coast. Kaoo's
friends had been justified in their con
tentions that Kaoo was a better mar
than King over the full marathon dis
lance, though King was the faster on
er fifteen miles,
