GAMES TOMORROW
SHOULD BE FAST

MUST DOWN MALES TO LEAD.
THE GOSSIP OF THE
DIAMOND.

There ought to be all kinds of ex.
element at Baseball Park tomorrow
afternoon. Two games are scheduled
and each will be fought from start to
finish. The Punahous and II. A. C.'s
hook up in the first. This means some
mighty hard scratching. The Puns
have dropped three games in success.
sion and will try to get the fourth with
all the speed and skill they possess.
The champions are still sore over that
12.inning defeat by the Male bunch OF
pick.ups, and will go after the Puns
hammer and tongs to show Honolulu
that they still carry the goods about
them. The II. A. C.'s should annex
this game, in spite Of Eddie Desha's
consistent pitching. The champions
have a way of smuggling the ball clear
to the horizon when they once get a
pitcher to the bad. There's nothing
the matter with their batting: it's sim.
ply a question of Tightening up in the
field On the other hand the Puns
have shown none too great ability to
lace out the ball, and many of their
hits have been wasted by coming at
the wrong time. Capt. Woods will
have to bring out better kahuna than
that old shoe II he really expects to
crawl up out OF the cellar.
The Elks and the Males meet in
the second game, and Il will he a scrap
:or the top of the baseball ladder, for
both are now tied with 1000 per cent.
Each has won two games. Any base.
TO the outcome Of game is mighty apt
to lose his reputation as a prophet, but
the writer ventures to say that the
Elks ought to win this game. On past
performances, the Elks have Joe
Cohen's bunch beaten. because the Elks
have played a consistent, hard.hitting.
fast-fielding game, and have supported
Hampton in pinches with considerable
steadiness. Freitas has been the main.
stay of the Males, and II the Elks get
more than six hits next Saturday they
ought to win. Anyway 1t will be
rafting game. Both teams are always
on the move in the field. Manager
Richardson certainly has tight little
infield. Vanatta and Cogswell work
beautifully together.
Bob" White certainly has been un.
lucky with the willow. Seven strike.
outs in less than ten times at bat is
going some backwards. Here's a little
prediction that Bob" will be landing
on the ball pretty soon.
Dick Ahrens was partially RESPONSE
BILE for the Pun's defeat by his poor
handling Of grounders to third. Steere
would have cut off couple Of slashes
that went for hits.
There are only three representatives
Of the Flowery Kingdom in the Ho-
nolulu League, and curiously enough
each one leads the batting list of his
team. En- Sue leads the II. A. C.'s, En-
Gee leads the Males, and little Kim
Fook comes to bat first for the Puma
hous.
Bill Vanatta made one of his aero.

down a line drive with one hand in
the sixth inning last Saturday.

toward second, and both bounced too
high for the second baseman to field.
Marcallino laid down a neat sacri.
fee in the seventh inning, sending G..
Desha to second.
Macfarlane turned nice play In
the eighth when he ran over behind
first and gathered in Ahrens' pop fly.
AHA took Kekuewa's place on the
RAMS first cushion. He was weak on
low.thrown balls.

a wide ball, he got the heel OF his bal

on fair ground, and was fielded to first
