A. A. u. EXPECTS
some TROUBLE
COLLEGES MAY OPPOSE PLAN
FOR SELECTING TEAM TO
REPRESENT AMERICA IN
OLYMPIAD.

New York, Nov. 29-That there
may be a great deal of opposition by
the colleges to the system of choosing
representatives for the Olympic games
is apparent by the announcement by
the a. A. L. that winners of the indoor
titles will be given great consideration
in the selection of the team which will
represent America at Stockholm next
summer. While some of the athletes
in the eastern and possibly the mid
die western institutions will be repre-
scented at the meet, the majority of
the college track stars will be so anX-
ious to get home for their short vaca-
ton that they will not be able to COM
pete.
There are some colleges in the west
that have good candidates for positions
on the team, and naturally these are
anxious to have their men make the
trip if possible, and thus add more
glory to the college colors. Under the
recent announcement it is likely that
these institutions will not contribute
to the support of the team.
With the big eastern institutions like
Yale, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Har-
ward, it does not make much difference,
as they are near enough TO New York
to send their athletes down to compete
In trials at any time. Yale and Cor
nell were heavy financial contributors
to the Olympic fund when the team
made its trip to London, and will no
doubt come forward with athletes and
money again next summer.
The athletic clubs will be favored a
little by the plans of the committee.
Their athletes have the use of the
numerous armories in the big cities,
and when the championship games
take place the men will have reached
perfect form. The collcgians i'm nearly
all cases train outdoors and win be at
a slight disadvantage in competing
against their rivals.
With the promise OF a large entry list
the games this year are bound to be
the equals, if not the superior, of
any ever held in the Madison Square
Garden.

Henderson.

The wrestling match between Fred
Pilakor and Martin Henderson at the
Red Jacket town han last evening was
witnessed by a large crowd. Pilakon.

twenty pounds in weight appeared to
be in much better condition than Hen
derson, and his greater strength gave
him the match with apparent ease The
Finn took the first fall in % minutes,
IS seconds and the second in Is min
utes. AZ seconds. The frt fall came
from reverse body hold, in which
Pilakoff lifted his opponent complete
ly from the mat and then pinned his
shoulders down. The second fall came
from a straight body hold.
Although Henderson appeared to
have "a little more science than his
opponent he was no match for the
Finn in strength. Pilakom weighed
22O pounds and the Buffalo Butcher
Boy" weighed in at 200 pounds.

Kind Next March.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-I'or the first time
in their history, bowlers will play for
the worlds title at the international
tournament which is planned to be
held here in March. The tourney will
be played early in that month, but as
yet no dates have been arranged. Back

According to the old Roman" over
twelve hundred bowlers will compete
for individual honors. In the tourna-
ment will be representatives from all

EARLY SHOPPING URGED.

The Portage Lake Business Mems
Association has issued plea TO pa
irons to shop carly during the ap-
preaching holidays, both for their own
benefit and for the accommodation Of
the clerks, who are usually rushed al
most to death during this season. by
shopping early il is pointed out that
customers obtain better service and
stocks are larger, while the salespeople
are enabled to take more time to wait
on patrons, thus saving the patience
and temper of all.

baseball affairs will attract attention
about equal with that of the big
leagues when the annual meeting is
held in this city next month. The

many important matters which viii
come up for consideration it will be
the most important since its organi-
cation.
Topping the list OF big things will be
the proposition to put the Eastern on a
par with the National and American i'm
the matter Of presidents by a PROPOSE
ton to elect Edward Grant Barrows for
"a five-year term as president and
place his salary at $4,000 year 1t
will make a change in the league con-
stitution necessary, as heretofore the
president has been chosen for only a
one-ycar term.

as follows;
Respecting the property to which

from Waiakea bridge road to the prop

volition have taken up the question

HILO JUDGE STOPS
FARMING OUT" OF
INMATES OF JAIL

HILO, March Al want the jailor
to understand that the prisoners are
not to be farmed out to the officials
and others When say' imprison-
ment, mean Imprisonment in the Jail
and not the farming out of the pris-
oners"
This statement, made last Saturday
morning from the bench of the dis
trict court, by Judge Wise, expresses
with clearness and force the position
of the district magistrate on the mat
ter of this long-standing abuse.
At the last meeting of the board of
supervisors the matter was brought up
before one the committees Austin
favored that the system be stopped,
but Henry Beckley, it is understood,
thought that there was no reason why
the prisoners should not work for the
officials. He argued that when they
worked for private parties, the coun.
ty did not have to pay for their board.
The supervisors therefore allowed
the matter to drop, but Judge Wise
has now taken it up. Reports have
come to the court from various sources
showing how fragrant is the practice,
which is of long standing. 1t has
thus been reported that three prison
ers are employed on Tailor Maby's
private property on Pleasant street,
and that these same men often do
washing and chores at the residence
of a high territorial official in the i'm.
mediate neighborhood. 1t is further
reported that the county clerk has a
prisoner working for him regularly,
that member of the former board
of supervisors had six prisoners work.
