Mr. Wells of the Wailuku Sugar Co,
saw the object of the boys in getting up
an athletic association, and when he was
interviewed as to n suitable site for
sporting field, he did not hesitate to
give the boys 4-year lease on about
seven acres of land little back OF
Judge Kalua's residence No rent Is to
be paid for the parcel of land. The
ground has already been turned up. and
will be ready for use in a short time. The
Wailuku Road Board have kindly con-
scented to have their steam roller go over
the ground. and the field will be in
splendid shape.
There are several good baseball play
ers who have announced their intention
of joining the Maui Athletic Association,
and with these and the present members
of the association, no better picked team
could be formed on MAUI. Ihe hne-up
which Is frequently talked OF no" Is as
follows Catcher, w, II. Cornwell, Jr'. or

the association to have Charlie Bailey

All kinds of makeup teams have been
playing the past few weeks, and at eV-
cry one of these games many people were
in attendance, thus showing the liking
the Maui public have for the game. The
recently imported negroes have a team
in Camp V, Spreckelsville. and two
games have been played with them, but
they were not as satisfactory as could
have been wished. The negroes make
good players, but throughout the game
disputes can hardly be checked, no heed
being paid by them to the umpire's word.

these towns the game has been discuss
ed quite freely, with the result that a
team has been formed In kahului. and
that Spreckelsville Is preparing one also.
In Kahului. Willie Hussey and James
Moekiahi deserve special mention. Henry
Meyer is also "A good first baseman and
a heavy batter In Spreckelsville. 1t
seems that Nathaniel Black Is the prime
mover in organizing a baseball nine.
There Is good material for baseball
