ooS - ASKED L iSner. am { thew the
candy, though? Say, watch Bliss wing
EN- down. He's got the best arm in
the world. sOh, boys, how do you like
the grounds? Amt this all right, ehg'
Some of the boys stopped long enough
to express their appreciation of the
diamond, then resumed their throwing
around the bases.
. want to tell you, resumed Fish
er, sweeping his arm SO as to include
his entire aggregation, "that there s
the finest lot of ball players in the
country, not a busher among 'em and
III give a fifty to any one who can
| find a busher in the bunch. / had the
whole pick of the country and 1 got
only bali players, every one of them,
and every one a gentleman. I couldn t
afford to bring any hoodlums along and
you bet I didn t. l got letter from
Captain Dowdell saying that these boys
are the finest lot of young fellows that
he ever Travelled with and that the last
| trip of the Alameda was the jolliest run
he had ever made between the Coast
and Honolulu. -
| It was suggested to Mr.. Fisher that
the people of Honolulu had been loek-
ing forward to the coming of his play
ers, being DESTROYS of seeing good ball,
but would be disappointed if at any
stage of the game the visitors did not
stretch themselves and play their best,
| no matter how the score went.
DO you mean that perhaps my men
viii lay DOWN. These boys lay downs
Why, if [ thought they would do any
thing like that 1 would tear up their
return tickets. No, sir, we will beat
you hundred to one if we can. You
don t suppose that we have come TWEEN
ty-two hundred miles to do any joking9
No, sir. We will play ball from the
drop of the hat and you can depend
on it that when this team gets to play
ing ball you are going to see something.
q am mighty glad to be in Homo
lulu, and I want to tell you that the
coming here of this team has been a
big advertisement for Hawaii. Every
sporting paper in the country is print
ing something about Honolulu now and
every one of the scores in these games
will be handled by the Associated Press
all over the continent.
N n "a
the Hilo trip, but am afraid not. Most
of the boys want to be back home for
Christmas. They have been playing
long season and then came right down
here. I guess we will have to call the
volcano trip off.
'.DoC. !" FROST IS ALONG.
Accompanying the All Stars is one of
the best known fans of San Francisco,
''Doc.'' Frost, who has been at every
ball game played in the Coast town
for the past fifteen years. His speciality
is chasing fouls and he has often won
the applause of the grand stand by the
graceful way he takes a grand stand
roller with one hand. He always APP
pears in uniform, the most striking
part of which is the gorgeous red and
gray checked stockings he sports. In
accompanying the team to Honolulu he
has come at his own expense, simply to |
see that no foul balls are lost He
knows all the fine points of the game
to nicely and talks ball in his sleep. |
He will be out in the glory of his full
uniform at all the games here. In ap-
pearance he is not above middle age, |
but in reality he is well over sixty !!
years old.
