big LEAGUERS MAY
PLAY AT M0lLIlLI;
LEAGUE HANGS FIRE

There is hitch in negotiations be-
tween John S. Barnes, representing
Mike Fishers All-Star aggregation of
ball players, who are to tour Austria
liza this fall, and the Oahu League
management, relative to the proposed
series of game in Honolulu. Fearing
that he would not be able to come
to terms with the Athletic Park
crowd Barnes has taken up the mat
ter with the Moiliili management, and
there is a chance that the hui that
has managed the Stanford series will
take flyer on the big leaguers.
OF course it was a matter of finan-
ces that gummed the game between
Manager MarcalHne of the Oahu
League and Barnes. The former made
a fat offer of so per cent of the gross
gate as the share of the visitors.
Barnes wouldn't listen to this for a
moment, asking first of all guaran-
tee of LOO for a six game series,
with the option of 75 per cent of the
gate receipts. Marcallino took the
matter up with the league managers
last night, and the result of the DELHI
erations was a compromise offer, the
league being willing to make the guar
antee, and to give the visitors SO per
cent of the gross gate. AS the Athle-
tic Park management stands pat for
% per cent of the gate for the use of
the grounds, this is about as far as
the league can be expected to go.
On the other hand, the MoiIiili man
agement has more advantageous ar
rangement with the Rapid Transit
company, for the Moiliili field, and
could afford to take a smaller cut.
twenty-five per cent of the gross gate,
though, doesn't leave much of cut
to pay expenses of the game, and pay
the team that goes up against the big
leagueFs. -. SIKH. +:
In the way of opposition, the All
Chinese will be back in Honolulu by
the time the Fisher aggregation gets
here, and the would draw like Wild
fire against the major league stars.
. Then there is the st. Louis team,
which will probably be available for
Moiliili. The Oahu league could put
several teams il the field against the
visitors. r... ~: ."...-. -,
Barnes figures that if the deal is
closed, his players will arrive on Mon

TO Plan
WORLD'SSERIES
tBy Latest MALL

NEW YORK. = Although neither
the American nor National league pen
nant is the property of any particular
club as yet, Ban Johnson and the
other members of the national COM
mission are beginning to plan for the
worlds series of 1918. The American
league executive while here said
while the Athletics have q big
lead at present, nothing is certain In
baseball. l noticed that Mack is still
seeking pitchers, so guess I'm safe
in saying that he is not yet ready to
sit back and wait for the National
league winners onslaught.
The second division clubs have a
habit of proving very troublesome to
the leaders in the second half of the
season, and you never can tell when
one or more of them is going to start
a winning squirt. Personally, ] have
great faith in Frank Chance, and be-
lieye that he is already building up
strong club for next year. He is a
great acquisition to cur league, and
will prove his value to the New York
club before the season is completed"
President Johnson also stated that
in case the Athletics and Giants did
win their respective league champion
ships the worlds series games would
be played on alternate days in New
York and Philadelphia. Should the
winning teams be separated by
greater distance of travel than these
two cities then the series would be
played two games at home and two
abroad.
Relative to the games he said that
in the future the worlds series SEIZED
ule would be adhered TO and the tie
game played on the next return to the
city in which it occurred.
Another item of news was to the
effect that hereafter all umpires in
the world S series would receive $1,000
each for their werk. in accordance
with the policy established after the
close of the 1913 play.
According 10 johnson, interest in
the worlds play this autumn will be-
keener than ever before He said that
applications for series seats already
are being received.
One letter upon which Johnson laid
particular emphasis was from five
Americans now living in Chile who
wrote that they were planning tol

MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The longest
game staged thus far this season in
the larger baseball leagues was played
July Is by the Milwaukee and the Co
lumbus teams OF the American associa-
ton, who struggled 10 innings.
Milwaukee won, s TO 5, using four
pitchers.
1t was the longest game ever played
in the Association league and was full
'of thrills throughout the three hours
and forty-five minutes it lasted.
Jack Ferry pitched the whole game
for Columbus, and although Milwaukee
made Is hits off him, he passed only
three men. He struck out only two
batters, but he kept the game under
control in tight places.
Milwaukee made 1--WE of its runs in
the first nine innings, tying the score
with two runs in the ninth.
Another complete set Of nine inn
ings was played without run, Mil
waukee winning in the last half of the
nineteenth with three singles in a
row.
In the fifth inning, Blackburne at

full, thinking that the runner ahead of
him had scored on a single. The run
ner was tagged off the bag, preventing
Milwaukee from scoring, as a single

The former Chicago American star

game when his single in the ninth

Sporting Editor:
Dear Sir: In tonight's paper under
a heading relating to the infield rs
rule you state that double play can
not be made when there is runner
On first base only. Being baseball
fan and assuming that you are. too.
thought that you might be interested
in an instance when just such thing
happened. Not more than a month
ago it was pulled off by Johnny Eyers,
who is noted for his inside" play II
can only be worked under favorable
circumstances, these being q slow
runner at bat and fayorably hit ball.
In this case, 1t was done as follows;
A low infield fly was hit to Evers, the
base runner holding first lest the ball
be caught Instead of catching the
ball Eyers trapped. it and threw to
first baseman, who stepped off the
bag before receiving the throw. The
first baseman then tagged the runner
who was standing on the base and
then touched the base, completing
the. double play. II is requisite that
the first baseman step off first base
before receiving the ball from the
fielder. otherwise the batter would
be retired first and the runner entitled
to hold first base. It is such unex
pected plays that makes baseball the
game II is. Such a play as described
requires quick thinking by all con-
cerned and is strictly INSIDE" base
ball.

WHY SIAHL WAS
CANNED BY S0E;
JOHNSON SORE

i CHICAGO" Jake Garland Stahl
has been ousted as manager Of the
Boston Americans by James McAleer,
president OF the club.
Though differences amounting to a
serious misunderstanding" with Nc
Aleer were rumored causes Of StahPs
release, both manager and president
insisted that the demand of the latter
and other stockholders for playing
manager was the motive. Stahls
leadership technically included today's
game; tomorrow Catcher William
Carrigan will assume charge Of the
team,
Stahls release was unconditional,
and he viii give up baseball as a
business. although. retaining his Rel
Sox stock, devoting his time in the
future to his banking business in Chi
eago. He has played few games this
season, an injured foot keeping him
OF the field, though he has managed
the team from the bench.
He was grieTed, apparently, at Nc
Aleer's decision to release him, and
declared he had done his best to sus-
tain the teams reputation as world
champions. To allround bad luck, in
GLIDING his own inability to take part
IN more than few games, Stahl at
tributed the comparatively poor show
ing of the team this year.
In connection with the news OF
Stahfs release stories Of internal
strife among the Red Sox were retold.
fractional differences, dating from the
worlds series of last year, were
among the causes limited at in the dis
cussion OF the managers release. 1t
Is noteworthy that Carrigan, the new
manager, was among the leaders OF
the faction which, rumor says, was
against Stahl Hints of differences
reached Chicago with the arrival of
the Boston team a few days ago, but
were earnestly denied by both Nc
Aleer and the manager.
Stahl, one of the most famous of
modern ball players, was induced by
McAleer to rejoin the Boston team
and took up the management. at the
beginning OF the 1912 season. soon
after McAleer assumed the presi-
dency. Under Stahrs leadership. and
aided materially by his own prowess
on the field, the team captured the
highest honors of the national game.

johnson of the American League, who

surprised and vexed to. learn that Jake
Stahl had been relieved of the man
agement of the worlds champion Red
Sox by President MeAIeer Of the Bos-
ton club. Johnson said
Il deeply regret that. AcAIeer acted
SO hastily. There was no reason for
relieving StHh1 of the management of
the Boston team, and he was entitled
to every consideration the Boston club
