FAST TEAM FROM
COAST EXPECTED

The team which will come here from
the Coast in November to play against
an All-Hawaii aggregation, should be
one of the strongest make-ups ever
seen west of the Rockies. OWE Over
all, the famous pitcher of the Univer-
sity of California, who has made a
great reputation for himself in the
National League, will probably accom-
pany the team as pitcher, while the
second man in sight is silver" Hen
ley, the star man on the San Francis
co team. Truck Eagan, the hard hitter
of the Oakland team is also among
those who have been selected and will
give the local boys a world of trouble
to hit his drop ball which is one of the
finest to be found in the States.
Red Dog" Devereaux, will be able
to give Doonie Hartman, Jack and
Walter Doyle some new ideas in the
line of coaching and Tommy Sheehan
will be certainly there with the same
gift of CAB which made him famous in
the days of the Tacoma Tigers" The
following article from the San Fran
cisco Bulletin gives the probable lineup
of the team which will be brought
here by ''Mique'' Fisher, the Irish Jew,
who can talk more and say less in ten
minutes than any man who ever play

lineup of his all-star combination yes

Hawaiian islands this winter. Fisher

think the fans of the islands are most
interested in, and of course Barney
Joy is foremost. The first player talk
ed to was Barney, who expected to
return home any way. Joy was de-
lighted. He declared that such a trip
could not help being a success. and
that people at home were nearly as
familiar with the Coast League players
as Californians were. Players like
Truck Eagan, Bill. Devereaux. Joe Nea-
Ion. Tommy Sheehan and Pearl Casey
had admirers in Honolulu. Barney
said that no money would be lost if
none made. and everybody would have
good time. Fisher has rounded up
strong combination, and the big
majority have played under his man.

Henley, Joy AID perhaps OWE Over
all. The big star has been sent let

club. Overall is fond of shooting.
When he is out of training he is out
with his gun nearly all the time, and
possibly Overall will not care to play
any more bali after the season closes;
but Fisher believes he will have OWE
with them on the trip. For catchers
there will be Hogan, Bliss and Dash

catcher, for the Hawaiian clubs may

on the first page, where all the great
