PROTEST over
DECISION

As expected, the Portuguese have
protested the ball game which they
lost to the Stars Sunday last by q
margin of one run. Exception Isl taken
to the fact that Umpire Ralph appar-
emily reversed his decision at the
plate, when he first made the safety
signal of extending both hands palm
downward, and then, after roar from
the entire Star team, called Dick Jo-
seph out. Ralph contends that he
called the man out from the first, but
as everyone on the. field saw him
make the welLestablished gesture de-
noting that runner is safe, this ex-
PLANTATION is not swallowed by the p.
A. Cs. I--
The protest, signed by Captain Ere
itas, is as follows: ---~-s
Honolulu, August 26, 1912.
Hon. Chas. F. Chillingworth, Presi-
dent, Oahu Baseball League, City.
Dear Sir:-On behalf of the Portu-
guese Athletic Club baseball team, |
hereby make protest to the final deci-
sion as rendered by Umpire Ralph dur
ing the seventh inning of the game
played between the Stars and P. A. e..
on Sunday, August rs, 1912.
My protest is based on the follow
ing: During the seventh inning Frank
Joseph was declared safe by the UNI
pire at the home plate, the said umpire
deciding the man safe by a motion
invariably used by umpires Of the Oahu
Baseball League when making such
decisions, viz: both hands palm down,
and then reversing his decision con-
trsry to Spalding Rule Sc, which reads
as follows:
There shall be no appeal from any
decision Of either umpire on the
ground that he was not correct IN his
conclusions as to whether batted ball
was fair or foul, base runner safe
or out, a pitched ball a strike or ball,
or on any other play involving accu-
racy of judgment, and no decision rem
dered by him shall be reversed, ex-
cept that he be convinced that 1t is
in violation of one of these rules. The
captain shall alone have the right to
protest against a decision and seek
it's reversal on a claim that it is in
conflict with a section of these rules.
In case the captain does seek re-
versal of a decision based solely on
point of rules, the umpire making the
decision shall, if he is in doubt, ask
his associate for information before
acting on the captains appeal. Under
no circumstances shall either umpire
criticize or interfere with a decision
unless asked to do so by his associ-
ate"
Rule SIS, which reads as follows,

SANDING THE INK.

forms of drying ink and is extensive
iy used in-the Senate by the Senator'S
as they write on their desks, the blot

string from the desk. the old type OF
drying ink by means of sand still is
permitted to such as care to use it.
The desk of every Senator has sand
buster or pounce box resting in a
hole in the top of the desk, looking
like an inkwell. The box resembles
a pepper shaker. And they are USED,
for many of the old Senators prefer
TO pour sand on their ink rather than
blot it.

DETROIT
STARS GOING

Summers, Schmidt, Delehanty. Jones
and O'Leary-the heroes of Detroits
1909 championship team. They have
passed out of the big whirl soon to
become only a memory in the kaleidO-
scopic history of baseball Three
years ago these five players were in
the zenith of their careers as big
league baseball players.
In the 1909 pennant fight Eddie
Summers was heTaiGe6 as the great
"knuckle" ball artist; Charlie Schmidt
was the iron man behind the bat, and
James Belehanty was the hard hit
ting second baseman. Little Charley
O'Leary, beloved by the fans, had been
replaced by Bush, but Charlie was
called the best utility infielder in the
business.
Now they have all gone-too slow
for the big race. Younger and bright
er stars have replaced them. Such is
the way of baseball.
Eddie Summers injured his pitching
arm and his career is about closed so
far as the big show goes. Detroit sent
him to Providence several weeks ago,
but he was of no use to that club.
Charlie OLeary took the manager
ship of the Indianapolis club in the
American Association. but he lost that
job few weeks ago because his club
was making a poor showing. Charlie
Schmidt is working in the receiving
department of the Providence club.
Delehanty has not picked his new job
as yet. Jones goes to Kansas City.

BOXERS
" ANT EASY
MARKS

Are our star boxers becoming what
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt SO .aptly
dubbed 'mollycoddles? asked an old
time sportsman, who used to be well
up in California ring affairs, during a
tanning bee last night, and before any
one had a chance to answer the ques-
ton the old boy was on the job him
self
Il remember" said the veteran,
when we used to have real fighters
the kind that considered glory as
we'll as the dollars--but that sort
seems to have become extinct.
ut does not take an old man to
recall the great feats of John l.. Sui
livan when he was in his prime. Here
was the beau ideal of fighting men.
When he was good he was not look
ing around for every loose dollar and
trying to hook up in four-round exhi-
billions. Oh, yes corrected the vet
eran; pardon me, John did engage in
four-round contests, but they were a
different kind of four-round bouts
from the sort our modern Bersecks
seek. Yes, my boy, old Sullivan tour
ed the country in a series of four
round bouts, but if anyone managed to
stick four rounds with John, the Bos-
ton Strong Boy, as he was then
known, used to slip such an opponent
$1,000.
And if John knocked out such an
opponent he did not get cent for it
merely the glory. And in six
months tour of the United States the
Only John H.. had to pay that $1,000
only once, and that was to Tug Will
son, an Englishman.
And there was little George Dixon
and Joe Walcott They used to make
regular tours of the country, meeting
all corners and giving a big sum to
anyone who could stave them off for
four rounds.
But how about our modern school!
When they get in the limelight allthey
ask is a chunk of money to box some
one four rounds. The modern boxer
is too much of dilletante," concluded
the veteran And they. do not get
the money-the only thing they seem
to be after. Sullivan earned and spent
several fortunes So did Dixon. To
my way of looking at it, many of our
modern boxers would look better SUI
perintending ribbon counter than
espousing the once noble art of self
defense"

RETURN GAME MAY BE PLAYED
IF It TAKES PLACE At Once

The army officers who. went down
to glorious defeat in the red-hot ball
same played against the University
Cub last Saturday, are just aching
for another chance to show what they
can do on the diamond. They con.
tend, and with some justice, that a
single game is hardly fair test of
the relative merits of the two teams,
and that they are entitled to a re-
turn match. .,-~.-
There is no disposition on the part
of the club,nen to dodge another
meeting. In fact, they are Just as
anxious to be up and at 1t as are, the
army men, but unfortunately five of
the best players arc soon to return
to the mainland, and 1t, would be- out
of the question to find substitutes
Both sides are still hopeful of at.
ranging an immediate game, and the
officers have sent a formal challenge,

In an interview published in Lon

reached this side, Bombardier Wells,
the English heavyweight champion,
declares that, barring Palzer, there is
no first-class white heavyweight in
this country. He says that when he
returns here in the fall he intends to

also declares that Porky Flynn, the
Boston heavyweight, would have a
chance to beat Palzer on points in a
