hou Forfeit flags Will
Tell of Teams Playing

After two weeks without League
contest in earnest, the admirers of the
game will have a chance on Saturday
to witness two of the best contests that
have been seen recently. The Kane
hamehas viii play the Punahous for
the first match, and then the Homo
lulus will go against the Males. These
games should bring out fast work, the
speed of the Punahous and H. A. C.s
having been shown in the exhibition of
last Saturday.
Perhaps none of the teams will ap-
pear in the original shape. The Puma
hous have not decided which team will
go into the field, but it is likely that
Honan will try the pass. All through
however there will be no material
change in tle team, the fields being
about the came. The Punahous have
the capacity to play well behind any
one of the pitchers, and will make
good display.
The Kamehamehas will put into the
field different team. The loss of Ly-
man who has returned to Hilo at the
close of the school year, will be felt
and there seems some doubt as to just
now how his place will be 6lled. 1t
seems most likely that the snort field
will be filed by Lemon, while Reuter-
pitches for the game. The magnificent |
work of this boxman has been COM
mented upon freely by all the admirers
of the team and the feeling seems to be
that he will develop into a nonparieI. |
1t is the plan to bring the veteran Koki
into the play soon and If this is done
there will be a strengthening of the
sharper play.
The second game should be a fast
one too. The Males will get into it in
stronger shape than they went on the
field at their first appearance. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be a change of
pitchers. if not from the first later in |
the game, as Rodgers may help Clark |
out. There will be other alterations, |
Fernandez going to first and Jones to |
short in place of White The team is |
playing together well, and in the opin- |
ion of some of the onlookers at recent |
practices will be a faster team than |
ever.
The Honolulus will make some altera- |
tions over Saturdays game. JOY of |
course will be in the box. Aylett will |
return to the field, in place of Luahiwa, |
Williams will go to third, while Ensue |
will hold down the short field This |
will mean that the H. A c. will have |
probably its strongest team out, and |
it will be a game well worth wit |
Messing.
This is well, for it will be the last |
game on the Punahou campus. The |
next week contests will be played on |
the new grounds of the League. The |
filling is progressing rapidly and the |
field is in such shape that those who |
have seen it believe that there will be |
as good a ground as has ever been pre-
pared for League games here.
At a meeting of the League yesterday |
afternoon President Isenberg reported |
to the club men the conditions of the |
grounds, and asked that the teams |
send a representative to meet him at |
the grounds on Sunday morning next, |
so that the lay of the fields may be |
fixed definitely. The base lines will |
then be measured and the directions
finally decided.
The president was authorized to pur- |
chase flags, emblamatic of the colors of |
each team. which Will be flown on days !
Of games from the poles at each end of /
the grand stand, so that intending visi-
tors may know just what teams are
playing. There viii be league penants |
as well and the new grand stand Will |
be finely covered with flags. 1t was
decided that the center block of the |
stand should be reserved for those hold |
ing special tickets. and that smoking
shall be prohibited there. This will |
make ladies' section Of this central
portion.
There came up as well a protest from |
the Males, against the award Of their
game on Decorat ion Day to the Puma |
nous, on the grounds that the award |
was made before the hour Of $40 |
o'clock had arrived. This goes to the !
