HITS, STEALS, ERRORS
LEADERS and CHAMPS
Will MEET TOMORROW
kAMs AND MALES IN FIRST

iNFiELD-oossiP OF
BAll-TOSSERS.

The Elks and H. A. C.'s will collide
tomorrow at Baseball Park and unless
all signs fail and the god of sport
frowns, 1t will be the greatest game
Honolulu fans have witnessed this
year. The champions are going out
to pull that game down and retrieve
their somewhat shattered fortunes.
And Manager Richardson's bunch Of
ginger and speed will work Just as
hard. for the Elks can't afford to break
into that nice, clean 1000 per cent. II
will be hammer and tongs from the
time either Barney Joy or Hampton
puts the ball down the line until the
last man in the last inning is laid
away cold and stiff In the morgue.
Then the Kams and the green. Jacket.

tas will make a good race for pitching
honors. The Elks rather hammered
young Freitas last week, but Joe
Cohens protege has the goods with
him, and the Rams haven't shown
marked hitting ability, even in the
game they won.
II wouldn't be surprising II that
Elk.H. A. G. game went into extra
innings. Hampton has been practically
unhitable this year, averaging less than
five hits per game. He has shown abil.

Speaking of Hampton's support. It
is a pleasure to watch that Elk infield.
The four men show flashes OF team
work and baseball sense that any ag.

kiki on pulling down, or In, or up, wild
throws. He has saved errors in every
game, and is quick on those lanky legs
Of his, too. Bill Vanatta has a con.
venient habit Of smothering everything
that comes within q mile Of second
Evers is able to reach and knock down
many a safe one, and he has a terrific
throw to first when he wants to cut
loose. Moore's cheerful voice and
graceful form are always in the game
around third. II is tight little in
field, and has few foxy plays to show
up when necessary. The Elk outfield
hasn't gone through a big battle yet
getting few chances. But Bob White
seems to be hitting the ball on the
nose again. Kia Is as fast as ever
and Wilder has already thrown one
man out at first on an apparent safe
drive to right. Even at that the cham
pions will be dangerous II they can
find Hampton consistently. The best
infeld in the world may go to pieces
under heavy fire, and Hampton will
have to pitch all he knows tomorrow.
| Stiles home run in the first inning
last Saturday would have been held
down possibly to double II Louis had
not misjudged the fly and started In
instead Of out.
