PROBE GAME
PUBLICLY
Baseball Trustees in
Open Session Take
Evidence.
Honolulu. July 14, 1906.
Mr. Chas. J. Falk, Manager,
Honoluiu Athletic Club.
Dear Sir: It having come to
the ears of the trustees of the
Honolulu Baseball League that
the game between the Honolulus
and Kamehamehas to be played
this afternoon is to be thrown to
the Kamehamehas and that
divers sums of money have been
wagered on this game by inter
ested parties, this is to inform
you that, should any such dispo
sition be manifest, summary ac
tion will be taken against any
players interested in such action.
The trustees wish to reiterate
that they will stand for no
crooked playing and that the fu
ture of the game depends on
fair dealing all round.
You will place this matter be
fore your team prior to the game
today and have it distinctly un
derstood our position in this
matter. Respectfully yours,
(Sd.) PAUL R. ISENBERG,
For Trustees.
Red seal without being stamped.
The above is the letter which has
caused the existing unpleasantness be
tween the trustees of the Honolulu
Baseball League and the Kamehame
has and Honolulus, two of the league
nines, and which is responsible for the
present deadlock in the baseball sit
uation. The letter was presented to Presi
dent Isenberg by Manager Falk of the
Honolulu Athletic Club, for signature
on the morning of the 14th Inst., the
day of the much-discussed game be
tween the Honolulus and the Kams.
"I have reason to believe," said
Falk to Isenberg, "that a member of
my team is going to throw the game
and I want you to sign this letter,
which will be read to the team before
the game, ana wnich will scare anyone
who may contemplate throwing the
game."
The letter was the joint work of
Manager Falk, Captain Gleason and
Jimmy Williams, a member of the
AUTO RACE
TO WAIALUA
Interesting Contest Is
Planned by Local
Chauffeurs.
MEN GETTING
INTO TRIM
An auto race is talked of for next
Saturday, the start being made from
town and the contest finishing at Wai
alua. A number of well-known chauffeurs
are said to be the probable contest
ants, the prize being a valuable trophy.
The affair is being kept very dark,
but news of it Jias leaked out and a
great deal of interest will undoubtedly
be taken in the race by the com
munity. The distance from here to the Hale
iwa Hotel is about 31 miles and the
time record of 1 hour 40 minutes is
held by Jim Quinn.
The road is thick with dust, how
ever, at present, and it is unlikely that
better time than two and a half hours
will be made in the proposed race.
OO9OOOOOOOOtl0
to give the public good, clean ball.
Some people called him a kicker, but
he kicked in the interests of clean
j baseball and the league's finances.
i KING WANTED TO KNOW.
T. J. King wanted to know if Joy
had ever walked four men in succes
sion before. Falk replied in the af
firmative but in answer to Trustee
Thurston's enquiry, could not give the
date of the game.. King thought that
Second Baseman Fernandez was just
as much to blame for bad playing" as
was Joy.
FALK'S LITTLE SAY.
Good
for
Sport Promised
the Boxing
Carnival,
Both Morch and McFadden have
started serious training for their 15
rounds contest on August 4. and are
working as though they meant busi
ness. The articles call for the men to
weigh in at 133 pounds ringside.
McFadden, Bettincourt and Ah Sam
are training at quarters over the
Brunswick Billiard Parlor.
The 10-rounds preliminary between
Kid Bettincourt and Joe Wahilani
promises to be of an interesting na
ture. These boys have already fought
a 4-rounds draw and their coming con
test will therefore be a return match.
Wahilani was coming on fast until
he struck a snag in Morch. He is
anxious to let the public see that he
can go some. Bettincourt is a likely
man with the gloves. He is doing
well in his training, occasionally put
ting a sparring partner to sleep.
Ah Sam and Young David, the Ka
lihi wonder, are sure to provide four
rounds of lively boxing. The China
man, in his go with Young Barry,
plainly demonstrated that he can both
give and take a punch.
Billy Woods will be official referee
and Larry Dee timekeeper. Dick Sul
livan is running the show.

SVTISFACTION GUARANTEED.
Honolulu Athletic Club's nine.
President Isenberg, acting in the in
terests of good baseball, signed the
communication.
The game developed suspicious fea
tures and the investigation followed.
Under the circumstances, for the good
name of sport in Honolulu, the trus
tees had no alternative but to investi
gate, more especially - as the above
letter put the matter of alleged crooked
playing straight up to them.
The basis of the whole trouble is
the gambling which takes place on the
games. Men bet to lose more than
they can afford and use every effort,
fair or unfair, to secure a victory for
their favored nine. Stamp gambling
out of the game and baseball con
tests will be free from suspicion and
not before.
As a result of the Investigation it
is certain that a vigorous campaign
against betting on ball games will be
commenced by the trustees and pros
ecuted until the practise, at the ball
park, at least, shall have been com
pletely eradicated.
The trustees held a public session of
the investigation yesterday afternoon
in the Young Hotel. Much evidence
was heard but no decision arrived at,
the meeting adjourning until further
notice.
Among those called to testify . were
CI F. Falk. Pat Gleason. Barney Joy, j
Solomon Koki, Mike Kane and J. j
Cook. j
D. P. R. Isenberg, H. M. Whitney,
C. F. Chillingworth and L. A. Thurs
ton were the trustees present.
In the room were a number of spec
tators and members of the press.
ISENBERGS OPENING.
After calling the meeting to order.
President Isenberg stated that the
trustees had been asked by the league
to investigate the game played a week
3 last Saturday between the Kams
and Honolulus. He spoke of Falk's
presenting the letter for signature and
said 'that he signed the same because
he thought the matter important and
was of the opinion that if read to the
team th letter would tend to check
ny crooked work.
He said that when Falk came to him
with the letter he asked him who
he thought would throw the game and
Falk said that Joy was the only man
he feared. Frank Richardson, J. M.
Dowsett and others had come to him
and told him that thy had heard that
the Kams were to win. He went to
the game to see for himself. In the
sixth innings he saw Joy walk four
men. then the left-fielder ran up to
Gleason, threw his glove off. appar
ently in protest, and Joy went out of
the box. Jimmy Williams in and Joe
Fernandez was shifted to second base.
Under the grandstand during the game,
he heard Joy jokingly talking about
selling the game for two-bits. Joy
blamed him for sending the letter.
After Joy went to the bench, he saw
Pitcher Williams hit a man, scoring
the player on third. He and Dowsett
heard a native say that it looked as
if tne game had been sold. After the
game he told an Advertiser reporter to
announce his resignation from the
presidency of the league. He wanted
C. F. Falk. manager of the Honolu
lus, denied having mentioned Joy's
name specifically to Isenberg as like
ly to throw the game. He had no rea
son to suspect anyone. His suspicions
were aroused by the liberal money
which he heard was being betted on
the Kams on the morning before the
game. There had ben. rumors all the
week that the Kams were to win. He
consulted with Gleason and Williams
and they drew up the letter between
them. He had only had casual con
versation with Joy during the week
of the game. When the first man was
walked he thought it looked bad, but
when passes continued to be given he
arrived at the conclusion that Joy
was naturally weakening. If he had
mentioned Joy's name to Isenberg it
was to say that he was the vital man
of the team. He did not tell Isenberg
not to direct his investigation against
any other player than Joy.
RICHARDSON ON STAND.
Frank Richardson stated that Falk j
had come to him and said that the
game looked wrong. The town was
full of rumors that the Honolulus were
to give the game to the Kams. He
couldn't remember who had told him.
GLEASON RELATES.
Patrick Gleason, captain of the Ho
nolulus had heard Joy's name men
tioned in connection with selling the
game and had had a talk with him
since the game. Joy said he had play
ed straight. He had a right to ques
tion Joy, as manager of the team, in
the interests of the team. He did not
think that any members of the nine
would sell the game, but agreed to
sending the letter as a safeguard
against possible crooked play. Ho did
not think that ,the letter would be
shown to Isenberg. The whole thing
he regarded as a bluff and thought
that any old signature would ' be af
fixed to the letter.
KOKI'S LITTLE BET.
Solomon Koki. secretary of the Ka
mehameha baseball club and an em
ploye of E. O. Hall & Son, had told
Kane to bef $50 for him on the Kams
at odds of 10 to 8. Lemon was man
ager of the team. He bet because the
Punahous had beaten the Honolulus
and he thought the Kams could do
the same thing. Also his men had
showed up well at practice. His sal
ary was $135 per month. His relations
with Joy were friendly, but he'd only
had a chat with him the week before
the game. He didn't tell Kane to bet
his week's wages on the game.
KANE ALSO BET.
Kane another employe of E. O. Hall
& Son said he bet $59 to $74 on the
Kams. Fifty dollars of this was Ko
ki's and the remainder his own. He
was married and earned $12 a week.
He thought that if Koki could afford
to risk $50 on the game he could af
ford to risk $9. He bet the money in
the grandstand.
JOY EXPLAINS.
Pitcher Joy of the Honolulus denied
having bet on the game. He heard
about the letter before the game and
did not want to play at all. No one
had approached him with a proposi
tion to sell the game. He walked four
men because he couldn't put the ball
over the plate. Before the sixth he
threw easy balls. In the sixth he
started to ''soak them in" as the Kams
were getting next to him. He didn't
want to play because he knew that if
the game were lost he would get the
blame. All pitchers go dead off at
times, he said. In the sixth innings
Gleason told him that a change had
got to be made and Williams told him
to go to the bench. He felt bad and
walked off and Fernandez was called
into the game.
NO HARD FEELINGS. .
Isenberg told Joy that personally he
had no hard feelings against Joy. The
letter came from his own manager.
At 4:30 p. m. the meeting adjourn
ed until further notice .

BILL BELLINA'S
SWELL YOUNGSTER
W. E. Bellina does not propose to
allow himself to be outdone by Jim
Quinn in the matter of fashionable
horseflesh. He ha a probable record
breaker of his own right here in town.
In 1903 Bellina attended the dispersal
sale of the Meek estate in California
and purchased the mare Carmelita,
then in foal to Welcome (2:10 1-2, a
stout Wilkes stallion.
I Carmelita was brought to Honolulu
j and on March 30, 1904, a colt was born.
The little one is a swell-looking two-
year-old and. If appearance counts,
should be good enough for anything.
The sire of Cermelita's dam is Stein
way and she is a full sister to Cricket
(2:10), which mare has produced a
number of fast colts.
Bellina's colt is a full brother to
Cavalier (2:11 1-4) and has a full sis
ter, Rabbie, now racing In tne East.
Babbie stepped a half mile on the
Pleasanton track in May in 1:01 1-2.
Bellina will keep the colt here and
break and train him. If he shows
speed he will be sent to California and
raced.
Will Durfee, brother of C. Hi Dur
fee of the local customs service, drove
Cavalier to his record of 2:11 1-4.
GANS BEATS
DAVE HOLLY
(Associated Press Cablegram.)
SEATTLE, Wash., July 24. Joe
Gans won the decision over Dave Hol
ly in a twenty-round fight.
The men weighed in at 135 pounds
at 6 o'clock on the evening -of July 23.
Holly, who has been doing well in
the ring of late, nearly knocked out
Gans with a blow on the jaw in a
previous meeting in Philadelphia.
Gans' last fights were two draw??
with Lewis in New York and Phila
delphia and an easy victory over
Blackburn. He is anxious to fight
Battling Nelson at 133 pounds, but the
latter is not enthusing over such a
match.
HE SHOT TWO
NATIVE DUCKS
A man from Wahiawa dropped into
a local hardware store the other day
and began to talk to an acquaintance
pbout the good points of a bird-dog
he owned.
"How do you know your dog is so
clever?" was asked, after the owner
of the canine prodigy had been boast
ing of his merits foi some time.
"The other day," was his reply, "I
shot a couple of native ducks, with
right and left barrels, and the dog got
both."
A police officer was standing nearby
and heard this confession of flagrant
violation of the game laws of the Ter
ritory. He reported the matter to
Sheriff Brown.
The Hawaiian Gun Club l&s taken
the matter up and has appointed a
committee to confer with the Sheriff
with a view to hiving the unsports
manlike slayer of the native duck
prosecuted.
