decided that Honolulu could work out
a better arrangement by having the
date set for Monday, which will re-
Quire only a two days stay in Hilo.
This Information was forwarded to
Hilo, and as a result of hurried con-
ference of the Hilo committee the
news was received that Hilo would
set the date for Monday, Jan. Z, and in
addition would pay all the expenses
of the Honolulu teams during their
stay in Hilo. Fl. IT,.
This is good news to the local com.
mittee, and the changing of the date
to Sunday means the entrance of Mills
school and perhaps Kamehameha. The
army men will also be able to get
away for short period. A meeting
of the committee will be held on Tues.
day evening, and it is expected that
there will be banner attendance.
The following letter was received
by Alexander Hume Ford this morn,
ing: -,
Dear Mr.. Ford: In reply to yours OF
Noy. 81, am of opinion that Monday,
Jan. Z, 1918, is the best day for the
Folcano-Hilo relay race.
Further, in this connection, | can
advise you that the committee in
charge has changed the day from Sun
day to Monday to suit the Honolulu
and outside runners. .....
| Am pleased to note that you are
taking an interest in this excellent
means of gaining publicity for the ISL

very truly yours, -,

CHICAGO. Ill. July 24.-Members of
the executive and finance committee Of
the Interstate Three Cushion Lea que
met here yesterday and made initial
plans for the fifth annual tournament,
which will start In October.
Differences over franchises, which a
few weeks ago led to talk of a second
league. have been adjusted and the cir
cult will be composed Of fifteen rooms.
A radical move was made by changing
tho play from scratch to handicap. It
has been found impossible to secure
fifteen equally matched players and
with the object Of making each game a
real contest number of the contestants
expected, will range from two to eight
points.
These handicaps will be based largely
on the performances Of the players in
last years tournament, the executive
committee doing the handicapping.
The prize list this year will consist
OF $4,000 contributed by the roomkeep-
ers. players and the Brunswick COM
pany. Each player will paw an entry
monthly.
The circuit is not complete as far as
players are concerned. but all of the
stars OF last year are expected to play
unless drafted for army service.
The franchises are held as follows:
Eens,nEsr. Chicago: Mussey. Chicago:
Cleveland; F. Smith. Milwaukee,:
linger Detroit: Heal. Toledo (two) :;
Cullen. Buffalo: Thum. New york; Al
