Meijis Will Likely Not Play on Maui Demand for Share of Gale Receipts Resented Honolulu Ball "Trust". Blamed for Attempted Holdup. The expected visit of the Mciji base ball team for a series on Maul next week, will probably not come off. This for tho reason that a demand Is now made on the local Japanese promoters of tho series, for not only an all ex penses guaranlee but a share of the gate receipts as well. Inasmuch as tho Japanese players were to bo on Maui for practically a week, arid as tho cost of caring for them was esti mated at $400, it is a positive cer tainty that no other guarantee will bo made. , Tho Maul Japanese who havo been arranging for the visit or the team nro pretty sore at the outcome, Inasmuch as It was understood In the first place that they would be expected to stand only tho ordinary expenses. They were not oven sure of being able to do this from tho three games planned, but through the generosity of two prominont plantation men they were in position to assume this much of the obligation. The letter demanding a part of tho gate receipts, was written by Thomas Treadway, of the Honolulu Baseball League, and it Is this league that is now blamed for tho changed face of things, rather than the visiting play ers themselves. Tho team has finish ed its series In Honolulu, and passed hero on Wednesday on way to Hilo for a number of games.

Tho last legislature put somo now teeth In tho game law (Act 110, S. L. 1915) which it behooves all lovers of tho dog and gun to become familiar with.

Failure to ob servo either of these preliminaries makes you liable to a fine, and the sheriff and treasurer of the county are getting ready to see that these laws aro enforced strictly.
