White Skill.

In Hawaii the japanese children
outnumber the whites and natives
combined; the Chinese children are
as numerous, and the Portuguese,
who are in class by themselves,
more than equal the number Of Am
erican-born children in Hawaii; yet
it Is the white children only who
have successfully mastered the Ha-
waiian sports. I was more than
amused when learning to ride the
surf-board to notice that the Japan
ese seemed never able to acquire the
difficult knack, while the small white
boy very quickly became more adept
than the native himself.

Fultz Orders Men
Not to Sign With
Minor League Clubs

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.--David L.
Fultz, president of the Baseball Play
ers' fraternity. is at odds with the
National association, which governs
the minor league clubs, and has sent
out q notice to the 500 minor leaguers
who are members of the fraternity
instruCting them not to sign Up until
the difficulty is adjusted.
A joker which Fultz charges the
National association has put N the
contracts sent out to the minor league
players is the cause OF the trouble. AT
the conference held recently in Gin
cinnati. it was decided .hat side
agreements" by which managers Of
fered bonuses to players for good york
should be barred in the future, and
that the entire compensation that a
player Is to receive should appear in
the contract signed at the beginning
of the season. Il was provided farth-
er that whenever a manager violated
the new rule against side agree
ments' he shall be fined $500, and the
player involved shall be released.
The major leagues have complied
with the rule. and there has been no
trouble in their case, but the minor
league contracts have been found to
contain an additional provision to the
effect that the player not only shall be
released, but shall be suspended for
sixty days,
F'ultz considers this sixty-day clause
a fragrant violation OF the agreement
reached at the Cincinnati! conference.

1START OF SCOOTER RACE
AMERICAN CAPITAL.
IMPROVING CHILL

American trade relations with Chilli
have made great progress since 1908,
when the imports from the United
States amounted to only $8.697, 2S9, as
compared with s16.806,341 for 1912,
a gain of nearly 100 per cent. From
present indications the figures for
1913 will show a still further advance,
says a consular report.
The investment of American capt.
tai in Chill has also greatly increased.
especially during the past two years.
Two strong interests have invested
heavily in the nitrate fields and are
putting in up-to-date installations; a
strong syndicate has acquired i'm
mense copper mines in Chilli, and is
installing plants with an annual ca
pacity OF more than 100000 tons of
copper bars: an American Steel COM
pany has acquired immense deposits
of iron ore that it proposes to ship
to the United States. at the rate Of
1000. 900 tons annually on the open
-'rg of the Panama canal. ana II fs

investigating the field
