ST. LOUIS BOYS
FOR JAPAN TOUR
Local Ball Players Asked to
Make Tour of Island
Empire.

The proposition to make a trip to
Japan and play exhibition games with
baseball mines in the principal cities
OF that. country has been offered to
the st. Louis baseball team, and it
seems quite likely that an agreement
viii be reached through which it may
be carried out in the near future. AS
yet there has been no definite PROPOSE
ton made to the local men, but letters
will leave today on the Nippon Maru
which are expected to bring a cable
message in return, stating exactly
what the japanese promoters will
offer.
! The matter has come up through the
inability of the baseball team of STAN
ford University to make the trip, and
a good substitute for the Cardinal
nine is being looked for. A young col
lege man from Japan has seen the
work of the st. Louis team here and
believes that they could put up a game
which would be very satisfactory to
the fans of the Island Empire. He
was particularly impressed with the
work of the st. Louis team when they
walked away from the ball team of the
Wisconsin, the battleship which was
in port early in the season. The sailor
boys had trimmed all the ball teams
in Japan but were easy marks for the
local men.
The college man mentioned has been
commissioned to look up the matter
in Japan and will cable back to the
local men what proposition win be
offered. The idea seems to be that the
Japanese promoters will offer to guar
antee the fare from here to Japan and
the expense of the team while in that
country, and will also offer a certain
per cent. of the gate receipts to the
Honolulu boys for the payment of their
return trip.
The plan seems to be to leave here
during the latter part of September,
which would conflict with the plans
for bringing a team down here from
the Coast The local men will then
have their choice, whether they viii
STAY here and try to defeat the best
team which can be found on the Coast,
or seek new worlds to conquer and
make raid on Japan in the mimic
warfare of baseball

GOOD POLO SEEN
At MOANALUA
Reds Defeat Blues in Fast
Game, by Score of Three
to Four.

An unusually interesting game of
polo took place yesterday afternoon at
Moanalua between two teams picked
from the players of Maui and Kauai.
The Reds, captained by Charles A.
Rice of Kauai, defeated the Blues, who
were captained by Arthur Rice, by a
score of As. The winning goal was
not obtained till the last period and
even then the result of the game was
in doubt, as the scene of play was
around the goal of the Reds till time
was called.
The hard playing of the contestants
made the game very interesting. The
first goal was scored by the Reds in
the first period but only few minutes
later the score was tied and when the
gong sounded the board showed IL.
The Reds scored once more in the
second period, giving them the advan-
tage, 81. In the third period the
Blues ran away with their antago-
n1SISp tying the SGOEG at 90 1AtC4 1881
work.
The last period showed that the Reds
had more left to use and they sue
ceeded in scoring once and then in de-.
Tending their goal for the remainder
of the fifteen minutes successfully. The
only really long run of the game was
made by Frank Baldwin, who took the
ball from behind his own line and
rushed it all the way up the field, driv-
ing the bamboo root between the ma
kai posts for a clean goal. He was
riding his pony, Hawaii, which made
such showing for speed in the games
against Oahu. She easily outdistanced
the other horses in the game.
The line up of the two teams was.
Reds-E. Peck, F. F. Baldwin, c. A.
Rice and c. Cooke. BIues-A. Rice, H.
Castle, G. Denison, S. A. Baldwin.
Lewis and Shingle acted as umpires,

POLO PLAYERS
HOLD MEETING

The annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Polo Association, which was held in
the office of w. F. Dillingham; yester-
day. morning. practically settled the
fact that a polo team representing Ha-
wall viii take part in the champion
ship tournament at Hotel Coronado
next February. Among those present
were w. F. Dillingham;, F. F. Baldwin,
w. D. Baldwin, S. a. Baldwin, J. l..
Fleming, r. w. Single, Arthur Rice,
Harold Rice, c. A. Rice, Harold Castle,
George Denison, E A. Peck, c. c.
Krumbhaar, and Bob Atkinson.
The following officers were elected for
the coming year: f. F. Baldwin, presi-
dent; w. F. Dillingham;. vice president;
Arthur Rice, secretary; r. w. Single,
treasurer. The next business taken up
was in connection with sending a polo
team to the Coast. The matter was
put to a vote and it was unanimously
decided that the Territory of Hawaii
should be represented. The following
committee was appointed to select the
team and make all the necessary ar
rangements: F. F. Baldwin, w. F. Dill
bingham and c. A. Rice. 1t was de-
cided that the pick of the ponies on all
the islands should be sent and all
those present were in favor of the COM
mittee selecting the mounts as well as
the men for the teams.
The matter of finances was brought
up and it was stated that the money
for the trip could be raised with little
trouble. Fred Church stated that he
expected to give a masquerade ball at
the Seaside on September 5, and that
the entire receipts of the evening
would be turned over to the polo club. |

Hartman was on the slab for Port
luck in the third and fourth cantos he
had the Seals at his mercy. When
ever they became dangerous Hart
sensational plays and shattered the
hopes of the visitors.
Barney Joy got two Dagger in the
third that registered the Seals right
fielder. Motifs error, hits by Williams
and Esola, a wild pitch by Hartman
and a couple of outs gave the Seals
two more in the fourth. In their half
of the inning the locals rallied and
chased two runs over. The bunting
game later on was responsible for
Portland's other runs.-S. F. Call.
The future of big Barney Joy is the
topic of fandom these days and people
are wondering if he win be on the
boards of the Coast League next sea-
son. His fame has reached the big
brush and several of the high moguls
there would very much like to have
the kanaka on their payroll In 1908.
Jack Huston, just before he left town,
offered the San Francisco management
the big sum of $4,000 for Barney, but
Long informed him that he was not
for sale. Naturally some one will put
in a draft for the Hawaiian, as well
as for a couple of the other men on
the Seals team, but if these people out
here don't want him to go they can
easily cover him up as has been done
in other cases.
Cap. Dillon switched the lineup of
his Angels before trotting them out on
the field for the last contest of the
day. He placed Smith and DeImas
ahead of Ellis, figuring thate this
change would bring the team some
thing. They all looked alike to JOY
and the change proved as much of
a jinks as an omen of good luck. IT'S
the same only story-the Los Angeles
team never can hit a left handler with
a fast curved ball.-Chronicle.
