Wailukus to Play HiIo.
The latest in the line of athletics
is that the Wailuku boys are going
to Hilo to play a game of baseball
with a picked team from the rainy
city. This arrangement for game on
New Years day is mostly due to the
efforts of Mr.. L. K. Crook. About 4

The team selected by Cummings Is
about the best that could be gotten on
Maui. and the boys are feeling quite
confident that the HiIos will have to

doubt but that some good playing may
be expected The team consists OF

Everything preparatory for the
baseball game has been arranged. and
the Hilo players have kindly consent

ed probably at Honolulu park during
the races. and the Maui boys will re
turn on the same Kinau.
