THIS AF TERNOON
League viii Show Its Respect
to the Memory of an
Old Player.

/ games
noon having been postponed out of re-
spect to. the memory or Percy Lish-
man, the wonted pilgrimage to the
baseball grounds of the ever faithful
will have TO be deferred for another
week. Next Saturday the st. Louis
and Kamehamehas meet in the early
game and the Punahous and Diamond
Heads in the latter. Much interest
was manifested in the st. Louis-Dia-
mond Head game that was to have
come off today, and the adherents of
these two leaders will have to curb
their desire to see them meet until the
18th and gath prox. BY this time
there may be changes in the positions
of the teams; the leaders may be
beaten by the two tailenders and the
entire complexion of the fight for sec
ond-half honors altered. The leading
teams are practising assiduously, and
with an even break in luck good and
last gaines may BS SApOShCu"
Bushnell, the St Louis pitcher, con-
templates a trip to San Francisco. As
his departure would materially cripple
this excellent team, it is to be hoped
that he may be prevailed on to defer
his departure. He is doubly necessary
TO the leaders, as they have absolutely
no one that they can safely put in
the box
En- Sue played at left for the Saints
last Saturday. He held down this po-
sition in great shape and got every
chance that come his way. This is
where this boy should be placed al
ways.
Evers in undoubtedly the bright par |
ticular star at short in this local |
league. He covered his position last
Saturday in a manner that would re-
fleet credit on a player anywhere.
Bushnell and Soares make an ideal
battery They are working in to-
gether in fine shape and for two
have a fine baseball future
before them. |
Castle seemed to have his batting eye |
with him last Saturday. Assisted by |
Hampton, he did considerable in the
aggressive line and all but defeated the |
leaders. Hampton is unquestionably a /
ball player He is a great utility man
and can take the difficult third bag
or short with little or no practise. It
is a pity this excellent player has not
yet found a berth with a pennant-win-
ming team.
Ed. Desha pitched good ball for the
time he was in the box last Saturday.
Why does this boy not take this posi-
ton oftener?
Alfred Williams has not been up to
his usual form this season. He has
fallen down both in fielding and bat
ting. Probably he will round out
again before the season closes.
1t is to be hoped that Jimmie Will
liams may be seen in his old position
shortly. He is sadly missed by the
Saints both for his fielding and hit
ting.
Darcy is keeping up his good work.
This boy is the find of the season, and
the Diamond Heads were fortunate to
pick him up.
Ed. Fernandez was handicapped last
by his game leg. He was un-
able to field balls that ordinarily
would have been easy for him.
Davis is falling down on his throw
ing. He has made some costly errors
in this regard lately.
Leslie is keeping up his excellent
work and is doing all that can be ex-
pected of a young player.
Reuter- deserved better support last
Saturday. Jones did not extend him
self and his cratic throwing demor-
allied the team. Billy Van also fell
down at critical times and on the
whole the team gave Richard Reuter-
