BIG LEAGUERS MAY
PLAY AIT M0ILIILl;
LEAG UE HANGS FIRE

There is q 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 chance that the hui that
has managed the Stanford series will
take flyer on the big leaguers.
OF course it was matter of finan-
ces that gummed the game between
Manager Marcallino 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 a guaran-.
tee of $1,700 for a six game series,
with the option of IS 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 compromise offer, the
league being willing to make the guar
antee, and to give the visitors 60 per
cent of the gross gate. As the Athle-
tic Park management stands pat for
25 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 Moiliili man
agement has more advantageous ar
rangement with the Rapid Transit
company, for the Mciliilf field, and
could afford to take smaller cut
twenty-five per cent of the gross gate,
though, doesn't leave much of a cut.
to pay expenses of the game, and pay
the team that goes up against the big
leaguers.
In the way Of opposition, the ALI
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 viii probably be available for

several teams in the field against the
visitors.
Barnes figures that if the deal is
closed. his players viii arrive on Mon
day, November 10, and leave on Mon.

To Plan
WORLDS SERIES
IBy 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 CON-
mission are beginning to plan for the
worlds series of 1913. The American
league executive while here said:
"While the Athletics have a big
lead at present, nothing is certain in
baseball. 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
lieve that he is already building up a
strong club for next year. Hezis a
great acquisition to our ieague, 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 a
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 world series sched-
rle 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. worlds series would receive $1,000
each for their work. in accordance
with the policy established after the
close of the 1918 play
According to 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 to

and many motoring parties came out
from Manhattan to see the game.
Cyril Crimmins was me referee.
George H. Townsend and William
Bouldin played on the team of the
Polo Association for one period and
then W. Bonney replaced Townsend
for the remainder of the game.
The opposing team, consisting of
Theodore HI .Bridgeman and Mourik
de Beaufort, played under the colors
of the Aero Club of America
The mallet men were amateurs.
Professional drivers were engaged to
handle the machines.
The match was replete with many
exciting plays and was won by the
Aero Club team by a score of to o
