nOunced ut Wed. Meeting.

New York, Feb. 4.-For five hours
Wednesday President Ban johnson
and the baseball club owners of the
American league were in executive SEES
sion here at the leagues annual sched-
ule meeting.
Various matters of moment to the
league were under discussion. but at
the close of the meeting the only af-
firmative action announced was the
adoption of the playing schedule for
1915, which was made public.
While the session was in progress.
President Barrow and several Inter-
national league club owners held whis-
pered conversations in the corridors of
the hotel, but none of them was adj
mitted to the American league meet
ing.
1t was expected that some definite
action would be taken by the major
league in reference to the removal of
the draft rule from the Glass AA
league clubs of the national associa-
ton.
Up to johnson.
President Johnson's secretary an
nounced that this matter had been dis
cussed and that it was unanimously
decided to leave the question of abOl1-
ton of the draft in President john
sons hands and that he will probably
take it up in a few days with the 9TH
er members of the national commits
National league.
No change was made in the player
limit of % now in force in the Ameri-
can league, although at the directors
meeting of the National league that
BODY reduced the number from 25 to
21 players.
AS to the suggestion made at that
time that none of the National league
clubs should send any of it's players to
the training camps before March L,
each year, there was no discussion OF
such move on the part of the Ameri-
can league at Tuesdays meeting.
Although there were rumors to the
effect that some of the American
league clubs would offer players to
the New York Americans in order to
add to the playing strength of the
Yankees, no mention was made of such
intention, according to the statements
of the club representatives who were
present.

and imitator, is one Of the pugilistic

three acts.
These three acts will open 10

Coast Criticisms Prove Truth
of de FoIco's Statement of
company's Worth

Honolulu is now virtually assured
OF the Italian Grand Opera Company
OF which Signor Eugenio de Folco, the
well-known tenor, Is impresario.
The seat sale is in progress and
simultaneously Signor de Folco is
securing guarantees for the season
tickets which will enable him at once
to close plans to bring his big COM
papy here from the coast.
That the company is of real merit,
that Il deserves Honolulu's sincerest
support-and that means financial sup
port-a glance at the newspaper crit
icisms OF the company's performances
en- the Pacific coast will show. And
Signor de Folco, who plans, after the
Honolulu trip. to take the company
on still longer road tour than 1t
had last season, declares that he will
bring to Honolulu a better aggrega-
tion than he had last spring.
For one thing, he has secured the
contract Of one of the stars Of La
Scala theater, Milan, and he has half
dozen other principals each OF
whom, he said yesterday, is the equal
or better than the stars of the Lam
bardi company.
"All that | ask of Honolulu is the
guarantee of enough to bring the COM
pany here have no fear Of lack OF
support once my singers have been
heard in this city" he says. Il know
from our experience OF two years ago
that there is real musical taste and
appreciation among the people of Ha-
wall and the company shall bring
over win fill the houses, am sure
of that. So sure that am willing to
risk a heavy financial loss, for we
shall bring to Honolulu a much larger
company than the Lambardi organiza-
ton of 1913, and in particular we
shall bring star corps de ballet and
our own orchestra"

Theatrical GAnlll5elleI)5
IMPRESARIO WOULD Bring TOCITY
OPERA STARS AND splendid BALLET

So ii remains for the next few days
to determine definitely IL Honolulu
will give this needful assurance OF
season tickets.
Proving the worth of the company
Signor de FoIco heads, the following
extract from the Portland (0re.l Tele.
gram OF April, 1915, shows what sue
cess was scored in Portland:
"Rigoletto was sung by the Italian
Opera Company to packed house at
the Baker theater last night and yes
terday afternoon about 300 people who
wanted to see Verdi's Aida were
turned away because there were no
seats available.
''As 'Rigoletto' Philippe Bennyan
scored a big hit last night. Bennyan
is a young singer with rich. mellow
and flexible baritone voice. and as an
actor he seemed in his element in the
title role of this ever pleasing work
of Verdi.
"Gerolamo Ingar, lyric tenor, as the
duke of Mantua, had to repeat the ia.
miliar Donna Mobile, nor would the
audience remain content with hearing
the famous quartet only once. 1t, too,
had to be repeated in spite of the
lateness of the hour In this. Genia
TrivelIia as Gilda, Bennyan and Luisa
Cecchetti, as Maddalena, shared
honors. -
The duet in the third act between
Gilda and Gegoletto was a. charming
bit of singing and acting. and wis also
repeated In response to insistent APP
plause. -
The scenery was attractive, the
orchestra did very creditable work,
and the chorus was splendid.
This afternoon Traviata will 5e
sung with Trivelli as Yioletta. Ingar
as Alfredo, and Silva as Germont, the
same cast that sang 1t Friday night
Rigoletto will be repeated this eve
ming with Eugenio de Folco as the
duke of Mantua and Tina Scllinetta
as Gilda Bennyan will sing the title
role again. Aida will be the bill Mon
day night. II Trovatore will be sung
Tuesday night"
