FAST SPORT
FOR THIS DAY
An Exhibition Ball Game With
Field Day Contests and
Balloons.

The special features arranged for the
baseball fans today are attracting
much attention. There is no one here
who is interested in baseball who does
not want to see the fastest men in the
country work on the baselines, enter
into the ball throwing contest and
compete in the other sports that are
billed for the afternoons entertainment.
This is the first time in the history
of the game in Hawaii that baseball
field-day has ever been attempted and
the fans.
All of these events will be pulled
off before the exhibition game between
the Picked Team and the Saints. The
Saints are now one game ahead in
the exhibition series and it remains to
be seen if they can make it two
straight. Some think that they can
and there are still others who think
that they can not.
Tickets for the big series of ball
games between Mique Fishers team
and the All Hawaii team are being
ordered very freely through Peter the
Messenger. The sale will open at
Gunst-Eakins on Monday the 14th, and
at that time they will surely go with
a rush. Don't forget that at the
grounds this afternoon after the game
that there will be two balloons sent up
with orders or season tickets attach
ed and the person securing the orders
when the balloons alight will be given
the best seats in the stand.
The principal feature of today's sport
will be the field events. which will
off in this order:
1. Circling the bases. Fastest time
wins. Prize, one pair shoes at Manu-
facturers' Shoe Co.
2. Throwing ball for distance. One
dozen collars at Kash Co.
8. Bunting a ball and beating it out
to first. One sweater at E. O. Hall & |
Son.
4. Throwing ball at a target. Half |
iozen pairs of socks at McInerny's.
5. Circling bases, with slide to first, |
second and third. One hat at Silva's |
Toggery.
These events are attracting as much |
not more attention than the exhi-
,ition game between the ST. Louis /
md the Picked teams. This is the first
ime in these islands that such an
went has ever been tried, and it is
ure to catch on with the baseball
ans. There has always been much dis
ussion amongst the baseball people as
o who is the fastest player on the
ase lines, and now they will have a
nance to see. There will be at least
tx in each of the different events.
ZACH winner will be given the prize
8 above mentioned, and as they are
Torth competing for the boys are sure
D make a hard fight for each of them.
Both of the teams that will play in
oday's games will be strengthened,
nd good lineups will be seen.
This may be the last time that the
aints will be seen on the diamond

ne chance at Mique Fishers All-Star
ggregation.
