The baseball games on Saturday will
be as follows: 1880 p. M. Kamehame-
ha VS.. Male lima; $3.50 p. m, Puma
hou vs. Elks.
The Kamehamehas are back in form
again after their weeks rest. The men
who were down with the fever have
been out a week and feel strong and
vigorous and the probability is that the
Males will go down in defeat before
the Rams. However, there are many
who choose to believe that the Males
will put up a stiff game on Saturday.
There are to be a number Of changes
and Clark will hold down third base
Honan did remarkably well in the last
game played by the Males and he will
again occupy the box.
The Honolulu team players consider
1t very fortunate that they are to have
rest this week for Sam Leslie, the
only man on the team who can hold
Barney Joy with any degree of con-
fidcnce. is down with the prevalent
fever and other members are not feel
ing at all we'll.
The game between the Punahous and
Elks on Saturday promises to be one
Of the best of the season. With Castle
in the box for the former and a con-
tinuation of tho excellent team work
the Punahous have been doing lately,
II would not be surprising II the col
lego boys should defeat the wearers OF
the purple. The Punahous never bat
ted better than they did on Saturday
last and they showed at every stage OF
the game their determination to climb
to the top OF the latter before the end
Of the season.
Honolulu baseball lovers have shown
in the past that they can stand more
than the regular series of games of tho
league. The large gatherings at the
games Of the Winter League last year
is an example.
There have been letters received
from baseball managers on the Coas,
making propositions to bring teams &c
Honolulu TO play against the loca
baseballists. and 1t goes without saying
that could this plan be carried out, tn,
grandstand at the new park would b,
crowded on each occasion when games
were played. Besides the love OF goOC
play, there would be another and per.
haps greater incentive for enthusiast
of the game TO wend their way to tn,
park and pay down their money-th,
chance OF seeing local men defeat ;
team from abroad.
This question of visiting teams Is
very live issue among the baseball mel

said this morning: when 1t comes I,
