Returns from the county precincts
in Blue Earth county came drifting
in slowly during the Gay. AS is
usually the case following an cleo

to be a rather difficult matter How
ever, the greater number OF towns

and were given TO the public in the
morning edition of The Free Press,
together with results from other
states. These figures gave the people
some idea of how the voters marked
their ballots yesterday. But at that

were successful in the contest which

BASEBALL BUG
BUzzING LOUD
ROUND SHAFTER

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
FORT SHAFTER, Nov. 20.-In two
of the most uninteresting games ever
played on the Shafter grounds A Com
pany defeated the cellar champions
yesterday afternoon, L Company, 10
to 4, and the strong arm of TOD.
Sloan of the p. A. C's ably succeeded
by a new southpaw named Schultz of
Company NJ, enabled the said NJ to
hold Company G runless while they
scored IL tallies.
II is a very noticeable fact that II
company team has pitcher who
amounts to anything the entire team
will play good ball and stands on the
list of games won and lost according
to the pitchers rating. In other words,
the teams are not playing ball as they
should simply because Sloan has a
reputation and Lieut.. Lyman has de-
yeloped Peed into a rafting good
hurIer. If Sloan were in G Company
or Peed in l. 1t would be 10 to l
shot that those two teams would be
at the top.
The End Infantry has at the present
time the best baseball talent it has
had in the past 10 years and when
these series are over a regimental
team will be put into the field that
should be unbeatable by anything
around here.
The new field at the end of the car.
line is progressing slowly. due to the
fact that there are no tools to work
with. The field Is in the old rice pad.
dy and the terrain is series of steps
about 25 yards square. All of these
steps or terraces will have to be
seraped OF and the higher ones used
to make the fill In the low ground.
Lieut. Lyman has charge of this
work and as soon as plows and scrap.
ers can be had the field viii be put
in shape and the ball field will be
moved from the main parade.
The game between Company F and
the Signal Corps this afternoon ought
to be a good one, as both teams have
been playing good ball and are evenly
matched. The other game between
Company G and Company should be
one-sided affair in favor of Company
C.
There Is considerable dissatisfaction
among the Rlayers at present over the
selection OF umpires. Some of the
men chosen know absolutely nothing
about the duties OF an umpire and
some of them render all sorts of alb.
surd decisions. while others permit
the players to interpret the rules for
them.
Large crowds turn out for the
games and interest In baseball has a
strange hold. on the garrison.

KAMEHAMIHA IS
winner Of End
CHAMPIONSHIP

The Kamehameha second team won
the second team football champion
ship yesterday AFTERNOON on A!exan-
der field by score OF to 0. ~. ~.
The first quarter WIS marked by
several fumbles on both sides, with
the ball in the center of the field part
of the time and in Kan territory for
the most part. During the second
quarter Punahou worked a few sue
,cessful end runs and skin tackle plays
so that the ball was kept well within
Kan territory. PunaIou.. however,
seemed to be unable to get beyond
the Kan 15-yard line each time the
Kan line stiffening its defense. In
this quarter Kan executed one long,
spectacular forward pass, II. Stuart
to Hila, which netted a good gain of
25 yards. Play ended with the ball
in the middle Of the field.
In the third quarter Punahou kicked
to Kan and downed them on their
30-yard line. From here the Kan
team started an effective line smash
ing game, which with q couple of neat
forward passes took the ball to the
Punahou five-yard line. Here the
Punahou defense recovered the ball
and Bromley kicked out Of danger, A
second time the Kan offense brought
the BAH to within scoring distance
and Bromley again punted after the
Punahou team had held for downs.
This time the Kan attack was more
determined and III Stuart made a
touchdown through the center Of the
line. He also kicked the goal The

PUNAHOU Wins
DISPUTED GAME
WITH KKINLEY
lnterscholastic League Officials
Reconsider Former Action;
Puns Are Champs

An important meeting OF the Inter.
scholastic league was held in the Z.
Nj. c. A. study room yesterday after.
noon Representatives OF an the
schools. including the PRINCIPALS Of
Mills. Kamehameha and Punaheu.
gathered to consider the action CT tho
league taken ct the previous meetirs.
namely. that the last Pnnahcu-Aiss-
Kinley game be disregarded and that
IL be played over again.
The purpose OF the meeting was
stated by Brother Elmer OF ST Louis.
College, president OF the league. lie
reviewed the facts bearing upon the
matter, stating his position. He said
that because at a meeting OF Oct. -
there had been an agreement among
the members present--though no vote
had. confirmed the agreement-th
Melim and Chillingworth should play
if IL was constitutional that theyshould
play, and that because Mckinley had
informed him that Melim and Chilling
worth had been enrolled before 0cto-
IL,
the league that Meltm and Chilling
worth were constitutionally eligible to
pay in the Punahou- Mel inley game.
He stated his belief that inasmuch
as Punahou had accepted this state
men Of the president Of the league
and Mr.. Scott, principalof the Mckin-
ley high school. Punahou should
not be the one to suffer for II bg
losing game she had won. He asked
that the motion Of the league at
previous meeting to disreetlrd the
game be rescfnded.
The league agreed to reconsider the
molten Of the previous meeting; nanle-
ly, that the Punahou-Al Kinley game
be disregarded and McKinley's protest
concerning the referee be disregafded
Ii was first voted not 70 sustain the
protest Of Mckinley; that the game
be declared void because Of partial
decisions on the part OF the officials.
Next was discussed the question as
TO whether the last Punahou- KIN
ley game be counted valid or void.
After much debate Il was voted that
the game should regularly count. and
SnOulu De gwen 70 EunaHo4 W tue
referees decision. the score being the
forfeit score Of to 0.
It was agreed that this decision
automatically gives Punahou the
championship, with five games won
and one lost. whereas Mckinley and
Kamehameha are tied for second
place. each with three games won and
two lost
It Is probable that Mckinley and
Kan will play OF the tie for second
place. and II Is not impossible that
Punahou and Kan viii play a final
Thanksgiving game.
The Punahou Representatives say.
however. that this latter. Is hardly
probable, because their team Is dis
banded.

HARVARD and Yale Meet in Great
Annual Gridiron Struggle TOMORROW

Harvard, on the other hand, has not
shown nearly the form of last season.
With the exception of the defeat Of
Princeton by 30 to o, the Crimson's'
showing has been disappointing
Brown was tied in no-score contest,
and Penn. State held Harvard to a -
to Is tie. Tufts was beaten by a
small margin. On comparative scores
this season, it is hard to understand
why Harvard is made 10 TO 8 choice
in the betting. as indicated by this
mornings dispatches.
However, while there have been
constant shifts III the Harvard line.
owing to injuries and form reversals,
the backfield is a tower of strength,
even without BrickIey. Mahan, Hard
wick and Francke have been doing
great work.
Honolulu has one representative on
each football squad, but it is not GER.
tain whether either will play tomor-
row, as they have been unfortunate
this season. Herman Won Holt is the
Yale representative, and F. B. With
ington plays fer Harvard.
Harvard and Yale men Of Honolulu
will dine together at the University
Club tomorrow night, following the
