"PLAY BALL" WILL BE
SHOUTED NEXT SATURDAY


But one more week must eiapse be-
fore the baseball season will be on and
the outlook is for the best season that
the game has seen in Honolulu for
many years. Owing to the time con-
sumed before the work upon the
League grounds could be commenced
the seasons sport will be inaugurated
when Empires Newton and Bowers go
on the field for the bame between II.
A. C. and Kamehamehas at 1:30 o'clock
one week from today at Punahou. 1t
will be recognised that the game is
only at the College grounds for short
stay, and that there will be regular
home for it within very few weeks
The condition of the terms could not
be better The men are all in fine
shape, the club feeling is high and the
moment of the call play Ball." until
the last out in the concluding game,
which by the way. making no outs for
contested games or postponed ones,
will be between the same teams which
open the season and on September 18th.
There is a deal of feeling that it would
be a good thing if the II. A. c. could
be beaten this year, as it's winning
would mean the annexation of the cup,
it having won for two successive sea-
sons.
The II. A c. team, which win play
under the management of Thompson
and the Captaincy of Williams, known
10 "a
shade the best of the argument on
form, in the opinion of the players and
outsiders. The mainstay of the team is
JOY the pitching wonder. The abb
sence of Cunha behind the bat viii be
felt of course. but Louis is showing
form in the place and should be able to
hold the shoots and curves of the
pitcher Kaanoi and Williams will be
change pitchers, and the rest of the
team Will be made up from the follow
ing list, as handed in TO the Secretary
Of the League: Hansman, Aylett,
Pryce. Luahiwa, Ensue, Fernandez,
Mana, Leslie, Kia, Thompson and GIea-
son.
The Male ninlas have turned in a
list which is very small when it is con-
sidered that 16 men are allowed. Cap
tain Kiley is one OF the good men of
the game here, his former professional
experience standing him in stead to
hold down his team. 1t is not regard |
ed that near all the men of the team
have been listed, though the following
will follow Capt. Kiley: Wood, Koon |
Dixon, Rogers. Akau, Delile, Smith, |
White, Wilbur, Silva. The team has |
been practising hard but there will be |
plenty of time as it does not play until |
the second week, and this will be used |
for brushing up.
The Punahou Athletic Clubs team |
win be in many respect the same as
that of last year. though there have |
been at least three additions from the |
ranks of the Customs, and one new |
conner will be in the game. The team |
viii play under the captaincy of Steere, |
the phenomenal second baseman, and /
should prove one of the very best |
There may be a little bit of doubt as |
to the lasting qualities of the batteries, |
but there should be some fast bali put /
up by the collegians, who have made |
good their condition and enter in fine /
shape. Captain Steere will choose ms
team from the following, according to
the list he has filed with the League:
J. F. Soper, j. L. Woods, J. Water /
house, A. Q. Marcallino. ]. Marcallino
Cooke. M'Corriston, Lishman, Rabbit, /
ney, Campbell, Honan.
The best of them will have TO be on
their guard for the schools, for the
kamehameha men were never better
fixed upon the opening of a season
Manager Wise has had his men out
as frequently as possible and he has
been able TO get a lot of practice with !
the regular school team. He is well |
pleased with the condition of his men
and is certain that his men will give
good account of themselves in what
ever company they may be placed
Captain Lemon will have his arm with
him and he is said to be pitching In
fine form. Reuter- has also rounded
into condition and viii be hard to
touch. according to those who have
watched his work Others of the team
viii be A Richards, D. Kekuewa. ].
kekuewa, o. Jones. Kaahu. Vanatta,
Fern, F. COckett. H Wise. Sheldon,
Plunkett, D. Kaai.
The baby team of the league will be

during the recent weeks by the men
