The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton baseball team practiced yesterday
afternoon on the parade grounds. 1T
looks as if the Initials would have the
strongest team in Honolulu this sea-
son, with the exception, perhaps, of
st. Louis College.
The team will be composed in the
main as follows:
Pitcher, Brown; catcher. "Old Pal"
German; shortstop, Bert Bowers; first
base, Al Moore; second base, Bird;
third base, Charles Elston; right field
A. j. Coats: left field, Berger; center
field, undecided
No schedule of games has been
drawn up as yet on account of the
difficulty in getting a decent ground.
No teams have yet signified their in
tention of entering league competition,
but at least five are practicing steadily
with that end in view. If the ground
difficulty could be overcome, Honolulu
would enjoy d great season of the ma
tional game.
The Male lima Athletic Clubs first
baseball practice on the parade ground
last Wednesday evening. was we'll at
tended, about twenty-five players put
ting in an appearance. 1t is impossi-
Bile as yet to gauge the baseball pros
poets of the club, but its members
must at least be given credit for en-
thusiasm
j. A. Morgan the blacksmith, is said
to have purchased Wayboy, recently
owned by the Club Stables. The price
is reported to have been $3.50. Way
boy is likely horse, well bred, and
with plenty of speed. He is compare
lively green PAGER, but has been
clicked to go mile in little worse
than 2:2o. The purchase is believed TO
] do haG, Of
Judd, who is training Wayboy.
J. A. Morgan has a new sign out
side his shop. which takes the eye of
horseman. ON one side view of
the Ingleside track is depicted, while
on the other part of the local track is
to be seen. Both pictures are very
well done.
Tom Ryder, the game old PAGER, and
Ayres P, the veteran holder Of the
worlds trotting to running mate rec
ord, are expected from Hilo by May l.
McManus will bring the horses down.
An offer of $500 for the black sprint
er, Frank S, has gone from Honolulu
to Hilo.
Waldo worked four heats on We'd
nesday, and seemed somewhat sore.
He didn't take to his work with his
customary relish.
Indra is doing ee-nile gallops
twice a week, and has got over his
season.
Abbey is turned out in the paddock
of a local dairy, and has taken on so
much flesh that he is getting to be as
round as ball. He will shortly be
sent to the track for training purposes.
| Last Wednesday, Octoroon, after
working two heats, developed a swell
| ing artery in her nigh fore leg. Mr..
| Dee gave the mare cooling-out heat
and put the leg into hot bath to take
out the soreness.
Her owner hopes to have his pet in
shape to race in June The occurrence
| is very regrettable for Octoroon was
getting into excellent shape, and was
! developing well. She had worked out
| as good as 2:19 without much showing,
and appeared to be in fair way to dis
play her old speed.
| Violin and Waldo worked a neat
| one day this week in 2:2412. The mare
| travelled we'll, and was not called upon,
| neither was the white ghost" for that
matter.
". NJ. Cunnigham's green PAGER,
John D, worked a heat yesterday In
| 1926, without urging, and is pleasing
| his owner exceedingly.
| Hollinger's unknown worked five
! furlongs yesterday in style which
made q very favorable impression on
| the onlookers.
Ruby NJ is being driven on the road
/ by her owner, but it is very unlikely
| that she win race again, as one of her
| legs is dickey.
! Aggravation is doing good work, in
view of her match with Virgie A on
the goth. Her best so far has been a
| mile in Las.
Secretary Nichols is quoted as say
| ing that no horse in Honolulu can beat
| Virgie A at a mile but Weller. He
| says that the black mare is the SUI
| perior of Nioris at the distance.
| News comes from Kauai that Colonel
Spaulding IS headed this way with two
| Est runners Of Kealia stock
| DR.. Chaplain, the well known veter-
mary surgeon, left for the Coast on
the Aorangi, which sailed on Wednes-
day.
