The caliber OF baseball exhibited
by the local teams should show con-
siderable improvement over last year.
Every one agreed that seven teams
were too many and the dropping OF
the Hawaiis has met with general ap-
proval. This move has strengthened
some of the other teams, notably the
st. Louis outfit, who have signed
Chfllingworth, Franco and Billy VIII
liams. The p. A. C.'s have annexed
Z. Fernandez. Easter and Dawson,
the best battery at Fort Shafter, will
also be seen with Paresa's team. Al
bert Akana and probably En- Sue will
don st. Louis uniforms. AL Castle
will show some new Punahou materi-
al which promises well. Francis
Brown will strengthen his pitching

The management of all games this
season will rest with the league. The
Athletic park directors will have no
obligations except to- keep the stands
and grounds in shape It is believed
that this change will be most well
come to the fans.
The power of appointing and re-
moving the umpires has been vested
solely In the president Capt. Stay
ton has been named as umpire-in-
chief, but the regular base umpire for
the year has not been designated.
Geo.: Bruins has declined to serve in
that capacity. -.
The playing lists of all teams have
been reduced from IS to Is players.
This should remove deadwood from
the teams and at the same time give
ample opportunity for trying out new
material The Oahu League will es-
say to put baseball back in the high
position of public favor which the
game merits Baseball by the play
er will take precedence over baseball
by injunction, and the league asks the
support of the fans in its eRdeavors.
