'Champion Gives Ciear Outline
I of Whole Situation Which
; Stirred Discussions
NORMAN ROSS
There has bea
so much talk
here in Honolulu
over the question
of whether 1 ha'i
been invited to
come to Honolulu
to compete in tbo
swim meet in
September, and
whether my ex
penses should be
or not, thai;
ould like to
. take this oppor
tunity of stating
the true state of affairs. If there has
been an injustice done to anyone
through anything I have said, I would
like to see it corrected. If there are
any false impressions extant I hope
they will be straightened up by this
article.
At the meeting of the games com
mittee yesterday I asked that the Ha
waiian association pay my expenses
for the present trip, giving as rea
sons for the request the three follow
ing things:
Arrangements
First: I came before the committee
with this request because I had never
been communicated with as regards
the trip, consequently no arrange
ments had yet been made as to ex
penses, in other words I was com
municating officially with the commit
tee for the first time.
Second: Heretofore at the big meets
held here twice yearly the best tal
ent obtainable was brought down from
th mainland to compete with the is
land stars, and all their expenses
paid. Being at present the national
champion for five events I considered
that I was of sufficient class to be
included this time.
Third: As a business proposition be
tween the committee and myself.
There is a financial angle to the swim
ming meet, and I have been told that
my appearance might help swell the
gate receipts.
Considering thno throo tViino-o t
baseri mv olaim f. full r,mo f '
expenses contracted by ,, the trip.
There were three dissenting voices to
ray proposition, Mr. Rawlins, Capt. '
Pepin, and Mrs. Leo. Mr. Rawlins
stated his side of the affair, as fol- j
Iuwb:
That while in San Francisco he
tried on two occasions to communi-
cate with me, phoning the Examiner
and the Olympic Club, two numbers
which were left for him to call by
me. He neglected to leave a message
or word that he had called, when he
was unable to get me at once. I
inai ue maae arrangements w'th
one Ernest Smith for my appearance,
agreeing to pay, one-half my expenses.
Mr. Smith claiming to be a representa-
tive or mine.
That was on August 8 he talked
with Mr. Smith at the Hotel Stewart
in San Francisco, that he had askrt ;
Smith to bring me down to see him
and that Smith said I couldn't come.
j That on August 17, after I had left
the coast, he received a wire from
Smith in which was contained: "Ross
O. K. half expenses." I
From these things Mr. Rawlins 1
drew the conclusion that either the
committee was bound to pay one-half !
my expenses, or nothing at all.
I disposed of his statement in this
manner:
First: On his own statement he did
not communicate with me.
Another Angle
Second: He claimed 4c have made
arrangements with Mr. cmith and con
sidered such arrangements valid. Sec
th.n 11, rule 4. of the general rules
of the A. A. l says: "An athlete
who permits anyone oth?r than an of
ficer of the club whicn ':c is entitled
to represent in open competition to
make arrangements for iii.s appear-
ance at an adileuc nicetfr.. shall
tlievoby render himself ine! gible for
'further competilim as an amateur"

Battle Which Lasts for Four Months Ends in Amalgamation c;
Oahu-Service and Honolulu Leagues Prospects Bright fci
successful Year in Baseball Wreckers, ist-32nd, Chinese,
Rugsr Giants and Pirates to Play First Game Next Sunday
Pea e ha been declared. The base
ball war is over and prospects are
bright tor a successful series in Ho
nolulu. Arrangements for a five team
league has be-n arranged. The teams
will phiy at Moiliili Fifeld, beginning
Suiday afternoon. Sanies will also
played at Schoiield
This is the biggest piece of news
l i has come from baseball circles
Uiij year. The Oahu-Service League
and the Honolulu League have been
lighting since the beginning of the
reason, and several times there was a
possibility of peace, but certain phases
of the situation could not be settled
satisfactorily and as a result nothing
was accomplished.
Five Team League.
At a meeting of the various man
agers of the two leagues held last
evening tt was deefded that the Pirates
and Japanese would combine and play
under the name of the Pirates, the
Chinese team and Schofield Blues,
which is the lst-32nd would make up
the third team. Ruger would be the
fourth, and the 25th Infantry, provid
ing Captain Carr agres3, will make the
fifth team.
It is thought that with the baseball
war over, the 23th Infantry would
agree to play In a series of games.
The league will be known as the Oahu
Service League and the same officers
of this league will be retained. Charles
Chillingworth is president; Lieut. Co
hen, vice-president; Bert Hushaw,
secretary and Ed. Nell treasurer. Billy
Miles ia manager of the league.
Pacific League Baseball.
The Pacific League has made ar
rangements to secure Moiliili Field for
all baseball played at that field; Billy
Miles and Sam Nott, acting as repre
sentatives of the league. Miles and
Nott will handle all other athletic
features. Satisfactory arrangements
have been made with the former Hono-
League managers
Henry Chillingworth .and Lang
Akana, two members of the All-Stars,
have been named as umpires for the
season. Lang was offered an oppor
tunity to play with the Chinese team,
and his addition would greatly
strengthen the squad, but it is expect
ed that he will favor taking a position
as umpire. Henry Chillingworth is in
bed at present, but Is expected to be
around to take his place as official
in the coming series.
Same Prices.
The sense of the meeting was that
all the players should get togethei
and work for the interest of baseball,
'his year, that all the September j
races were io be open jnes.
Captain Pepin sa? 1 that in his eyes .
the committee was bound by the ar-j
raneements made to meet .only half ,'
my expenses. He was not able to re-
main for the remainder of the neet
ing.
Mrs. Leo took exception to some ;
statements attributed to me in
tjjg i
i
local Dauers. I replied that ray,
statements were according to fact, ;
that if they had been controverted or j
misunderstood I was very sorry, but
disclaimed responsibility.
Mr Andrews said he understood ,
from a signed article of mine in a i
San Francisco paper that I was com-1
ing to Honolulu anyway, 'whether I
was wanted or not. I explained that ,
mv statement was to the effect that
T was coming anvwav. regardless of

here, and the date or tne meet ap
proachine near, I went to the president
of the Olympic Club and told him that j
there was a big meet to oe held in ,
Honolulu; that - wanted to go; that Ij
had not heard from the officials yet.,
but that I had been assured that the
people of Honolulu wanted to see me
swim again, and that there was very
likely some good reason for my not
being invited which wouU" come to
liqht. I said I was quite sure that my
expenses would be taken care of, as
was usual, but I merely wanted an as
surance that I would go, so I could
train with that in view. He told me
to ?o ahead, that the club was behind .
me.' It was a report of this talk which
Mr. Rawlin3 read and which lc" him
nav mv expenses, or even ;nvite me.
He told me in his office here that it
was a business preposition; that if he
could get me to swim for nothing or
for half expenses, of course he would.
I replied that I did not think such
action fair.

.Mr. Rawlins then complained of the
unfair treatnufft he had received in;
the papers, saing that false impjes-,

With the leading players of the cltj
in one league prospects are bright foi
a good series. The prices win remaii
the same, although there has beei
some talk of a change from 10 centi
to cets for bleacher seats. Thli
will be made only for the grownups
in case it goes through, and the kldi
will be allowed an opportunity
watching the game at the same price.
It is understood that the PaclfSi
League will make a few improvement!
on the grounds and in the stands
which will be a big help to the game
The various managers talked thingi
over in & peacable manner, and then
were no squabbles in the discussion
A few details needed straightenini
out, but it looks like a good omei
for better baseball conditions in Ho

Games on Sunday.
At the meeting last evening it wai
announced that the Pirates woul
play the 25th Infantry at Schofiel
on Sunday, providing that this ar
rangement was satisfactory to Man
ager Carr and the All-Stars. The 25t
Infantry had a series scheduled witl
the Stars, but Inasmuch as Henry Chil
lingworth ia unable to play, and th
fact that peace has been restored
Lang Akana said this morning thai
the Stars would be willing to give ui
this game. If this arrangement is sat
isfactory to Manager Carr ot the 23tll
Infantry, the game will be the first
of the league series.
The lst-32nd will meet Fort Ruget
at Moiliili Field on Sunday In th
first game of the series, providing th
arrangement is made with Managei
Carr. The Chinese will lay off thil
Sunday. The Pacific League will con
tinue to play the opening gais at
Moiliili Field on Sunday. There wi
be no game on Saturday at Molliiw
owing to the polo match.
The Managers.
.Hannibal S. Canario will be th
manager of the Pirates, with Bill In
man. formerly of -the Japanese, as tb
captain. Sergeant Lester will hati
charge of the let-32nd or Schofield
Blues, and Manager Stewart will head
the Ruger Giants. Kim Luke will lead
the Chinese team.
It might be Eaid that if these as
gregatlons can get together a-d giv
the fans the ben baseball possible,
without haggling, the rcorgan
ized OahQ-Servlce League will make
big success. This is the one important
point to be taken into consideration,
and if followed out, prospects appeal
unusually bright for the future of th
national pastime.
said that if I was a gentleman I wooM
lift the stigma which had been casl
upon the Association. I said that 11
was my intention to present both sides
as fairly as possible. In a few; minutei
Mrs. Leo made a motion thrft someons
of the committee be appointed to see
the papers and give them a true report
ot the meeting. Mr. Jackson objected
iu iuig as uieqpuneous to me.
Mr. Andrews said that In view of thi
fact that he had wired Mr, Rawlins
in Sah Francisco to bring me, and that
it was his intention that my expenses
noma oe pam, ne could se no reason
ny mey snouia not ne. Mr. Sopei
concurred. Mr. Jackson put the mo
tion, which was seconded by Mbs
Stacker and carried. Mr. Rawlins

no time against

He further went on to say that he
