regret very much that this article has
in the publication, and
have already written the Chronicle
stating that have no dealings with
the former sporting editor of the Ad

as strong as possible and say that he
was given no authority to act for me. ;,
Why, it is joke about Lowry
stating that he had authority to sign
up the Santa Clara team for trip to |
Hawaii. / had wind that Lowry was
going to leave Honolulu, but did not |
know that he expected to try to make |
a deal with the Mission team until !
he left. but ! Immediately cabled to |
Santa Clara telling them not to recog.
nize any one Santa Clara will come |
here in June, you can rest assured of |
that despite any other remarks 2 was |
the statement made by Benjamin HoI- |
lin ger, manager 6f the Oahu League.
When asked regarding Lowreys |
connection with the Hawaiian Polo |
and Racing Club. Walter Dillingham; |
said: Lowry was not authorized |
to represent the club in any way. As /
a matter of fact none of the officials /
knew of the matter until it was pub |
