ST. LOUIS TEAM CHAMPS OF
1907
KAMS LOSE TO TRAILERS

ball captain and manager That there is
in Sugar Cane Baseball League. For
the third consecutive season the team
under this foxy baseballist has brought
home everything that has been Of
tered in the way of a prize. This
bunch under Pat has demonstrated
that it was not all Barney JOY that
won their games for them. They have
played the most consistent baseball of
the season and on form deserve all
the credit that is due them.
Bushnell, Soares, Williams, En- Sue,
Evers, j, Fernandez, Ayett, Bruins
and Louis, the other members of the
team, should all have the nit extend
ed to them as they all played ball and
worked to the advantage of the team
trying all the time and never saying
die. Bushnell, the little pitcher, has
done remarkably well and aided by
good support and a hard lot Of stickers
behind him, he has been able to pull
out many games that had the appear
ance of defeats.
AS to the Season of 1907 there is not
much to say. There seems to be some
thing lacking that goes to make inter-
est in the games. The players are
lacking in enthusiasm and of course
the spectators can not be worked up
if the players themselves do not show
an inclination to play their best. Some
thing must be done to put the game on
the same basis that it was in 1908.
| The coming of the Coast team should
give the game big boost and il 1t is
followed up by the proper management
of the League next season good fast
ball with a big attendance should be
the result The surprise of the season
has been the good showing of the Dia-
mond Head club. 1t was thought that
they did not have look in and in the
end they came within an ace of taking
the pennant.
Barney joys pilgrimage to the Coast
has done much to interest the local
PLAYERS and we would not be surprised
to see him followed by Hampton and
Evers and probably Reuter-. The first
two are the fastest ball players here
today. Hampton for his AL around
good work and Evers for his grand
| fielding. Surely the latter is hard to
beat when it comes to mailing base
| hits
KAMS LOSE TO PUNS.
| The Punahou team has been the dis
appointment OF the season. This team
started with the brightest prospects
and bowed up like toy balloon. They
have been poorly handled and have
showed little or not spirit, oftentimes
coming to the grounds short handed
Saturday this aggregation succeeded
| in nipping all aspirations that the
Kan team had on the championship
Lonors. Had Bill Vans nine took
this game they would not have won
the rag as the Saints succeeded in
doubling up the Diamonds in the last
game and this was enough to give
| Gleason's men first place in the
League race.
The Hampton-Williams combination
and the latter got but four well seat
tered bingles Off Williams. This lad
can throw some ball when Bill Ham
! is on the receiving end. Reuter-, for
the Rams, was not all that was eX'
pected of him and the seven hits and
three bases on balls that he allowed
we're too much for the Rams and they
bit the dust TO the tune of ~.
Hampton's all around work was the
| feature of the first game. He raced
Reuter- four times, got two bingles and
walked twice He stole three bases
and made three runs for his team. In
the first spasm Ham made trouble for
The Kams. He was the first man M
stole second. and went to third on d.
Desha's bingle and completed the cir
cult when Lota at third booted Kias
ground hit ball.
Lota on third was the weak sister
for his team and through his poor
fielding the Colts scored more than
one run. After d. Desha had scored
the second run for the Puns IN tho
very first il looked blue for the Kams
