the announcement that the diamond is
partially covered l., water and il no
fit shape for an exhibition today.
A l.. Castle. taking the role of in

Lowry in the matter Of tomorrow s
and next weeks GANGS. 1t was agreed

question of the diamonds fitness
should be left to 4 board of arbitra-

manager; Jack Bliss, captain of the
visiting aggregation. and James A.
Thompson, clerk of the supreme court,
as the personnel Of the board. If
these three men, after carefully in
specting the diamond, decide it is in
condition for the games, their word
shall be accepted by both sides as
final. Up 20 late hour no report had
been received from the conferences.
Attorneys l.. Andrews and &. H.
Mcbride won out in the supreme court
on their contention that the contract
between Lowry and Athletic Park is
not binding upon the Venice players.
The injunction is sill binding as
against H. g. Lowry, however.
In their writtenl plea the attorneys
for the players as petitioners for the
writ of prohibition against Judge Rob-
inson and Athletic Park, say:
That your said petitioners, each
and all thereof, never at any time en-
tered into any contract or agreement
of any kind whatsoever with said Ho-
nolulu Athletic Park. Ltd, under or
by virtue of which they or any there.
of agreed to play baseball under the
said Honolulu Athletic Park. Ltd, and
do no. now have any such contract
with said Honolulu Athletic Park,
Ltd"
They further assert they were not
associated with Lowry in making the
agreement with the park and are not
parties to x. tnat the contract was
cancelled prior TO November - by
breaches on the part of Athletic Park,
and that the Injunction granted
against them allows them no relief,
no matter what the merit Of their
part may be, for the reason that they
are professional ball players here only
temporarily. and C'nnot remain in
definitely to fight the case through the
ordinary court channels.
Attorneys Peters and OBren for
he park, argued that the players
we're bound by the contract because
hey are interested in its terms to
he extent of receiving % per cent of
