Labors Into Night
On Sport Affairs

tOr lOul ana q nal1 hours, IN SeS-
sion that lasted from 1880 until after
midnight II of the Is members of the
Athletic Committee, members of sub
committees and of the Maui Athletic
Club considered various phases and
problems of athletics and sports, two
hours being given over to discussion
of the complicated situation that has
arisen between the Athletic Commit
tee, the Maui Athletic Club, the
Amateur Athletic Union "a. A. W
and the Fair and Racing Association
As to baseball the plans already an
nounced for the formation of a new
league with greater self governing
powers and working along somewhat
different lines from the past was ap-
proved. The proposal that was ac-
cepted calls for a fifty-ffty division of
receipts between the league and the
Fair and Racing Association through
its Athletic Committee, such division
practically being a fair rental for the
grounds.
Outside Nine Coming
1t was decided to accept the propos-
al for games with the Hawaiian Pine
apples Company's nine and an All
Maui team, the days being set for May
q and 2S. These proposed games, ow-
ing to a very generous offer from Ho-
nolulu to forego all share in the re-
ceipts and for the teams expenses
being paid from there, entail no un-
usual expense. The schedule of the
league has been changed to make
room for that engagement.
w. A. Clark of Haiku, the newest
member of the committee presented
to the Fair and Racing Association
on behalf of the East Maui League a
cup which that league had intended
for it's senior baseball trophy prior to
its abandonment of senior baseball
plans. The cup was accepted with
thanks and will be put up for the win
ner of the greatest number OF points
at the track and field meet Satuld day
1t must be won twice in five years to
become the property of winner.
Otherwise at the end of five years it
will go to the holder who has scored
the greatest number of points.

An interesting report on the Maui
School Athletic League was made by
C. S. Childs.
Reports from the golf committee in
dicated that it would cost much more
to lay out and keep up a course than
had been anticipated and the subject
was laid away for other times when
it may become feasible.
