OAHU League IS
FOREVER BARRED
FROM THE FOLD
Organized Baseball Draws the
Color Line and Tips Off
Local Concern

The Oahu league will never get
into organized baseball, no matter how
much the attendance grows, or how
classy the brand OF ball turned out by
local opponents of the diamond game,
The bars of race are up against the
league and there is no chance OF their
being lowered. -. .....
This is the word brought from San
Francisco by III. G. Lowry who made
trip to the coast to sign up the Ven
ice team for a series here this fall, and
who, while in San Francisco. had
several conferences with the higher.
ups Of the Pacific Coast league, which
is high in the councils of organized
baseball, with Class IA rating.
According to Lowry, President A.
T. Baum of the Coast league made the
hatfooted statement that the Oahu
league would never be given Class ID
or any other rating in organized base
bail. The color line is the barrier,
for II Is an ironclad rulelhat no ne
groes CT Orientals be allowed in the
regular leagues, and OF course no such
distinction could or would be made
here. The very best players in Ha-
wall are to be found among the Chi
nese, Japanese and the colored sol
diers and to eliminate them would be
to kill baseball.
This barrier is the real reason why
En- Sue and Ayau haven't been signed
up in fast company. FroHrs time to
time the word has gone out that one
or another big league organization was
after their services. but the fact IL
that the hands of sign has been
hung cut by the magnates. and club
owners are forced to abide by the rul-
ing. Even Marsans and other Cuban
players are parading as Spaniards, in
order TO dodge under the color line.

THE stewards of the English Roys

THE stewards of the English Royal
] Henley Regatta, where American
and other foreign crews and scullerS
competed so meritoriously last week,
have taken decisive steps to fix the
status of these rowing races in the fu'
ture. Because of the prominent and
classic history of this regatta and its
trophies there is constantly increas-
ing pressure from foreign rowing
clubs to be permitted to enter their
best scullers, fours and Fights. Un-
der the utilization agreement between
the British amateur Rowing Associa-
ton and similar associations Of 9th.
er countries the crews of any club, a
member of these associations, are eli
gible for entry at Henley providing
their amateur status complies with
the Henley regulations.
The Australian oarsmen, however,
brought forward point which the
Henley stewards refused to concede
when they asked permission to enter
an all-Australasian eight at the re-
cent regatta. The secretary of the re-
gatta management replied in part to
the request as follows: .'
my committee, after very careful
examination are of opinion that, under
the rules, this would be impossible.
By rule w, the entry of crew from
outside the United Kingdom cannot
be accepted unless such crew belongs
to a club which is affiliated to a union
or federation having an agreement
with the committee of management
of Henley Royal Regatta, This rule
obviously contemplates, and has al
ways been interpreted as contemplat.
ing, a union or federation of separate
clubs duly affiliated thereto, which
by virtue of its constitution exercises
control over those clubs. If such an
entry were permitted in one instance,
other bodies would follow suit, and
the United Kingdom would, in self
defense, be compelled to form rep
resentative crew, probably every year.
This would entirely alter the char
acter of Henley Regatta, and would
be seriously detrimental to the row.

ions, as well as from foreign coun-
tries, but they have been from clubs
formed on basis similar to that of
the rowing clubs in this country. No
entry has ever been rendered by a
crew representing the whole OF a
country, and it is thought inadyisable
that new departure in this direction
should be made"
