P. A. {. PROTEST
> To BE DECIDED
y THISEVEN|NG
Pro and Con of Last Sundays
Game Will be ThreShed Out
by League Directors.

The protest of the Portuguese Ath
letic club over the win Of the Chinese
Athletic Union, in last Sundays IL
inning game at Athletic park, will be
threshed out at a meeting OF the
league directors this evening. The
local baseball body will get together
at the Offices OF President z. c. Pc,
tiers In the McCandless building at
1880 o'clock and an interesting ses.
sion 10 anticipated.
The contention Of the Portuguese,
that Joe Ornellas was entitled TO two
bases on play that came up in the
eighth inning, when sacrifice fly to
center brought in a run from third,
Ornellas being on second, has created
a lot OF discussion among the fans
who saw the game An overthrow to
third resulted on the play and Ornellas
came home from second, but both UNI
pires are agreed that the runner made
no attempt to advance a base on the
caught fly and that he was entitled to
only one base on the overthrow, and
he was therefore sent back to third.
Had the run been allowed. the Portu-
guese would have been one run ahead
at the end of the ninth inning. The
Chinese have made no reply to the
protest, banking on the league to back
I'D the ruling and decision OF its um-
pires. Should IL be allowed and the
game ordered replayed, 1t may make
considerable difference in the close
race that is now under way in the
Oahu league.
The Saturday Offering is between
the Punahous and the Chinese, which
promises to be or unusual interest ow-
ing to the fact that the former team
sprung the biz surprise of the season
by breaking the Chinese,s winning
streak the first time the two teams
met. w. Tin Chong's aggregation is
out for revenge and Manager Castle
OF the Puns is equally anxious to score
another win. not only for the figures
OF the pereentage table, but for the
personal satisfaction Of repeating and
proving to the fans that the first VIC
tory was not a fiuke.

United States May .
Draw the Olympic
Games From Germany

Besides being the means OF calling
on the international yacht races in
September, and stopping the speed
boat races scheduled for Cowes, Eng.
land, the European war new threaten,
the 1916 Olympic games that were To
be held IN Berlin, Germany. In fact
so certain are Chicago sportsmen that
it will be impossible to stage the
Berlin meet, should hostilities cease,
that they have begun campaign that
aims tc bring the games to America,
preferably TO the Windy City.
viii Last Year. s.ss.. (
Assuming that the frightful conflict
of nations lasts for year-it can
hardly occupy less time there will
then be left but ten months before
the Berlin Olympic games will be due
to open. Aside from the aspect Of
financial and athletic preparation for
the games the temperament Of the
athletes Of the European nations
would be in no condition to allow them
to take part in international competf
ton on German soil as early as July
1916.
Should Germany and Austria whip
England, France and Russia, these ma
items would almost surely find ready
excuse to sidestep the meet at Berlin
The wound of defeat would still be
an open one-far too sore to heal in
anything like year.
On the other hand. should England's
great navy and the millions of Russia
and France humble Germany the ath,
letes OF these nations. full of the spirit
Of triumph. would not be welcome
guests at Berlin. It is likely that in
the event of German defeat the 1915
Olympics would be abandoned alto
gether. as far as Germany is con.
cerned.
Two Courses open....
In the event of the international
committee adopting the latter course
the 1916 games would be held in the
United States without shadow of a
doubt, There would be but one con.
ditipn TO contend against. should the
games be staged in the u. S. A., and
that would be the same factor that
caused the 1904 games at ST Louis to
be dismal failure: namely, the lack
of European entries. II the interna.
tional committee could surmount this
obstacle. there Is no reason why an
Olympic. meet An America would not
be successful

Morninq

while the Boston club had the fight

stake to work for Therefore, the lat
ter's players naturally felt that they
could afford TO take bigger chances.
The bulletin boards in the parks
may be good thing for the specta
tors, to keep them in touch with the
progress of the various games, but
they are harmful to the players in a
tight race of this sort. The men on
the teams fighting for the lead watch
the score of the important game OF
the contenders as 1t is posted, and un.
consciously it often distracts their at,
tention from their work in hand.
If had anything to say about it, .
complained McGraw one day, when
half Of his players we're anxiously
watching the Cubs score in Boston
hung out, 81 would not have a bulletin

the strain on a team fighting for the

CGame called on account OF the gen.
eral WEAKNESS of the players after
the second inningJ
Commenting on the attempt made by
the Welsh gang to overcome 1S3-run
lead in their half of the second, one OF
the English newspapers said;
The Welshmen never looked like
making the 134 runs needed to win the
game. but they tried hard. II Evans,
of the Grange Gas Works, and f. Seer,
of the Phil Harriers. who was captain
of the team, executed the most noble
work, for they recorded thirteen runs
each as the result of their labors, but
the side was out in fifty-seven runs"
Made Thirteen Circuits. -...r
As Americans will understand the
situation, Messrs Evans and Seer bat
ted the opposing pitcher to such an
extent that they were given the privi-
lege of running around the bases thir-
teen times each and that divers and
sundry other of their teammates con-
tributed the other thirty-one runs that
were Tailed in the final half inning of
the pastime.
However, neither OF the Welsh
"messrs,' need get conceited about
what they did A few of their Eng
lish opponents went them slightly bet
ter in the run making business. In
the first inning L. Higgins made fif-
teen runs and J. Barron fourteen, while
in the second inning Higgins contribut-
ed twenty-five and Barron aided his
side by ambling around the bases
twenty times.

AS Others See Us.

The Republican has been so occu-
pied with the thrilling events of the
past week by the Breaking In" of
scme protege of Al Jennings, into
the postage stamps, that we have
been forced to neglect making men
ton of the pleasant and interesting
trip to Ardmore to attend the State
Press meeting. 1t would be highly
improper to pass over the event with
out expressing appreciation, as a
member of the association of the cor
dial and hospitable treatment accord
ed visiting editors in that splendid
southern city. There has never been
a meeting of the association where
the people of the entertaining city en-
tered so thoroughly into the spirit of
hospitality than was the case of the
good people of Ardmore. They apollo
gized for the fact that the hotel ac-
commodations were overtaXed by the
excitement and remedied it by enter
tanning visiting editors in the splen-
did homes which abound. with true
southern hospitality. Ardmore people
proved to be interesting and cordial,
impressing visiting editors with many
pleasant memories of the trip.
Ardmore has for many years been
the important city of southern Okla
hCma. The recent development of an
extensive and apparently unlimited oil
field has added a vast resource to the
city which increases its commercial
prestige. A live Commercial club, pre-
sided over by one of the most mag
netic and brilliant enthusiasts of the
state, Sylvester Mullen, will do much |
in the near future to develop the pos
sibilities of the city. Mr. Mullen is
one of the great men of Oklahoma, |
a genius in business affairs. He is |

acquiring the distinction and the prop
critics by the force of his tireless
abilities and the remarkable genius
le possesses.-Cherokee Republican.
