FISHERS TEAM PLAYS FAST
BALL

The Honolulu Stars are all the
candy. They are the real hitters and
for ginger they cant be beat. Exhi-
hition games as rule lack that snap
and dash of league contest where
there is a pennant at stake. In 9TH
or words, they drag and interest lags.
There was nothing slow about that
game which the invaders won by
tally of to yesterday. A better
game one would hardly desire to wit
ness. Both teams played the game
| for all it was worth from start to fin
ish. 1t took them only an hour and
twenty minutes to play nine innings,
so 1t is manifest that there was little
| ioafing. Mike Fisher has put
strong team on the field and the Hoo
aolulu fans will get their moneys
worth. The only weak spot was be-
hind the bat. After being out of the
game so long Eastwood found trouble
locating second base He made few
clubhouse" heaves, but Eastwood
will be right by the time he reaches
the islands. However, Fisher won't
be short on catchers even il Eastwood
should fail to strike his gait. Mike
will have with him Donahue and
Bliss. Both happened to be disabled,
so Eastwood was used. The reason
hat Fisher is taking so many back
stops is that Barney Joy will pitch
Tor the All-Hawaiian club, and they
have no real good catcher to support
aim. Fisher was asked to take an eX-
ira catcher, and either Eastwood or
iliss will work with Joy against the
invaders.
Kid MOhler put strong team on
the field against the stars and the
rans have a treat in store this week.
Mothers infeld was trine weak, but
this can be mended. Spencer is not
the man for second base, though as
good an outflelder as there is in the
league. The stars won yesterday be-
cause they placed their hits better.

Arrayed in uniforms which put
Doc" Frost's most radiant attire to
the bad, the team surely looked giddy
enough to satisfy the kanaka's tropi-
cal love for color. To begin at the
feet: The stockings are broadly stri-
ped blue and white, the blue a sort
Of cross between Yale and navy
(pretty fne distinction that; the
trousers are of deep red; the shirt of
white, gayly decorated with red in
sigma and trimmings, and the caps
of a,,.delft blue, which rather Jars
with the blue of the stockings. The
idea is presumed to be patriotic, but
enc on two of the players rather soil
I'd their patriotism by sliding in the
moist dirt.
The game was notable for the first
appearance here in long time of Joe
Nealon and Cliff Blankenship, who
played first base on the Honolulu in
vaders and the picked team respect
lively. That Flash" Nealon, as they
used to call him when he was a BUSH
er, has improved since his season
here with Hank Harris was apparent
in every movement that he made.
Ease and sureness he has gained in
good measure. His work, in fact, was
u little better than we have seen here
since Jim Morley brought out Hal
Chase.
The Honolulu Stars will take to-
morrow off, but they will play at Oak
land Thursday and finish the week at
Recreation Park. or course, they will
play the usual Sunday morning game
across the bay. This is beautiful wea-
ther for baseball, and the fans will
witness cracking good series. Mob
!or's cracks will put forth every eff
fort to win a majority of the games.
Manager Mike Fisher received word
from Big Bill Burns that he would
be on hand to pitch Friday. The
Coast League champions are on a
transforming trip around Southern
California, and Burns couldn't get
away before Pat Donahue, who will
hold down second base for the Stars
