After the Town Team bested the
Punahous On the gridiron Thanksgiv
ing day the hope was expressed tina
a return game could be arranged fol
New Years Day. A number of promi
nent individuals concerned were more
than willing for another bout, but sc
many of the players were compelled ou
of business and other considerations tC
go out of training that the plan fel
through after being talked for a full
fortnight. Next there was proposed
field day meet, but it was found this
would interfere with the H. A. A. c.
and Y. NJ. c. A. plan for field and
track tourney on January II. For a
time it looked as though there would
be no sport at all for opening of the
year. The horsemen were appealed to
in vain
At this juncture AL Moore of the
Regiment ball team and Harry Wilder
of the Stars, boldly jumped into the
breach. After a little consultation
they agreed to choose baseball mines
from the League players who could
be secured and on the afternoon of
New Years day give a game and let
the whole of the proceeds go to the
Strangers Friend Society Needless to
say, this thoughtful scheme became
very popular at once and almost all
of the ball players expressed willing
ness to serve the captain who called
upon them. Of course the ladies of
the Strangers Friend Society were de-
lighted and some of them have been
talking a good deal of baseball since
that time. They have interested all
with whom they came in contact and
this fact alone insures good patronage
for the contest. Society has taken it
up. The fans" are half daft and are
kept guessing hard on account of the
nearly even makeup of the two teams.
Harry Wilder catches and will have
Mayne pitch for him. In this nine
SuI lS w llllS Will NC DIT nISI, AlcIl
Jones at second and Clark at third.
Percy Lishman will be at short and
Holt, Kiley and Kaanoi will be the
fielders
Moore will play second in his team
and will have Bonnie Lemon and Davis
for his battery. Davis has been doing
some clever work at the receiving end
in practice. Paahau will hold down
the initial bag and the only Mahuka
will be at third. The fielders will be
Duncan, Bower and Hansman.
1t will be seen readily by any who
followed the playing of the past season
have been selected. The playing
should be of the very best quality and
the game should be close.
In the evening on the LIST of January
1898, there will be bicycle races at
Cyclomere park. The track has been
put in good condition and the men in
training for the various events have
been doing fast work during the
past week Some of the favorite rid
ers will be missed, of course, but there
will be some new and speedy ones in
their places. 1t is pretty safe to in
sure the public against loafing exhibit
that the evening will be one of the
best Cyclomere has ever had.
