''dAKIKI BASEBALL TEAM,
u. BENTO, Captain
There is considerable interest being
revived in the national game, and the
games that have been played lately by
the Hall e Son team and others have
been a very fair sample of baseball
There is a movement on foot to have
the old baseball field at Makiki fixed
up and a backstop put in place so that
there may be some place where the low
ers of the game will have chance to
play. Since the ground which former
leagues have played on, has been cut
up by Gear & Lansing for town lots,
there has been no place that the boys
could play on.
1t is rather late in the season to start
up a league for this year, but it is hop
ed that the ground will be Immediately
put in shape so that it will be ready
early for next years games. Another
reason for putting the ground in order
is to give some of the boys a chance
to meet the "all victorious Halls
team and see if at least a game or two
cannot be wrested from them.
On the coming Saturday Punahous
nine are going to try and get together
and 1t is hoped that with the new ma
terial that they will have that they may
give the Hall & Sons team good rub.
The Makiki team have issued chal-
lenge, but they will have to wait their
that they will have a good opportunity
to show whether or not they can play
ball.
The national game Is good one, and
the boys should receive every encour-
agement from the public.
