Baseball Games TODAY

at the ball grounds today, the contend
ing teams being the Males and the Ka
mehamehas and the Oahus and Puma
hous. Both of these games should be
well contested and the result may mean
a great deal on the final result for the
season.
Should the Punahous win it will put
them in the running for the first lap of
the race and per contra should they
lose it will put them out of the reckon
ing. Should the Oahus win they will
have strong lead for the first half
and the HOnolulus will be the only team
that will have a chance to best or tie
them.
The Males, if they succeed in win
ming from the Rams, will then be tie
with them and the struggle henceforth
which these two teams will put up win
be to keep from having the dubious
honor of bringing up the rear.
While no one can presage the result
of any game of ball, the Male Kan.
contest is more than usually hard to de-
eide before hand and on form it is i'm
possible to say just what the outcome of
the game will be. When this condition
exists good ball may be looked for and
no doubt the patrons of the game win
have their moneys worth today
These games mark the beginning of
the second round of games, four con-
stituting the full season.
Meyers will be replaced by Lyman
today in catcher s position for the Pun
ahous. The new man is said to be a
good one and it is to be hoped that
he is
1t is question as to whether Eddie
Desha or Ahrens will pitch for the Pun
ahous today. This team has to meet the
Honolulus Monday and will have to use
both pitchers.
The Oahus are doing good work with
the bat this season, Ringland and White
heading the list for the first quarter;
however, there may be a change before
the four quarters are played.
The Males will pitch Defries, who
did such good work against the cham
pions. If he pitches in the same form,
the Kams will have hard row to hoe.
On Monday, June 18th, the Honolulus
meet the Punahous and the Oahus the
Males, and the usual holiday crowd
may be looked for.
The decision of the trustees of the
big league to allow the Winter League
the use of the grounds is causing salts
faction among the junior clubs These
boys are having new suits made and Will
make d creditable showing. They put
up excellent ball and have a large fol-
lowing. The games are interesting and
for the most part closely contested.
Many of the players are capable of fill
ing positions in the major league but
are prevented from doing so through in
ability to get off from work.
A quarter of the baseball season has
passed away, with the teams in the fol
lowing order: Oahus in the lead, the
Reds next, Punahous, Hams and the
Males last. From present indications
the struggle for the pennant will be be-
tween the Oahus and the Reds. When
this latter team goes on the field with
the intent to win they generally do so,
but this year they have bumped up
against a strong team in the Oahus,
which are practically last years Elks.
The Reds have shown themselves to be
luSt as eHeCClNe DIS ever
The Puns are a good fielding team,
but their batting does not come up TO
the mark. and batting counts a whole
lot. Ahrens is doing good work for
them in the box. 1t is to be hoped that
Eddie Desha will improve as the sea-
son grows older ''Doc'' Monsarrat has
q fine collection of colts in the Puns
and they may yet surprise some of the
wise ones.
The Hams have lost their old time
form. If they would do more team
work they might get along better, and
their batting needs to be improved a
good deal So far the attendance at the
games has been good.
ORDER MUST BE PRESERVED.
