YACHT BENEFIT
Matches Suggested for Next
Saturday and Labor Day
Program.

a meeting Of the Honolulu Baseball
League was held yesterday at the Ha-
waiian News Company to consider the
plans for baseball during the coming
week While no absolutely fixed ar
rangement was made. the ideas which
were given at the meeting viii prob
ably be followed out and the result
viii be q most weIcome addition to the
funds Of the committee in charge Of
the building Of the schooner which will
represent Hawaii in the coming trans
pacific yacht race.
According 70 the arrangements
which have been made there will be
two games played On Saturday and
two on Labor Day. The games on
Saturday are 10 consist Of a game be-
tween the ball nine from the cruiser
Cincinnati and team from the Chi
nese Alohas, for a preliminary match.
and a struggle between the st. Louis
team, the champions Of the local dia-
mond, and a picked team from the
members Of the three other teams Of
the league. The first game should be
interesting because the cruiser should
have good team and the local Chi
nese can play ball 50 wei that many
think that they are able TO handle
teams in the senior league.
The game between the St. Louis and
the picked team should be one of the
best exhibitions of bah playing which
has been seen here in the history Of
baseball The St Louis team is strong
as one can ask They have hardly
weak position from catcher 10 right
field, the battery, when it comes 10
hard work. being the poorest Of the
lot, but having the support of an IN
and out field which helps any team 70
win games.
This is not meant. by any means, to
discvuntenance Bushnell and Soares.
Bushnell is one Of the most heady
pitchers who have ever taken part in
a game in this city. His pitching is
not Of the highest quality but through
the use Of his head he wins games
where other men. with far better con-
troll and curves, would lose. Soares
may not be the best catcher here, but
he has the merit of being al work ev-
cry minute that the ball is in play.
He is weak at the bat but when once

well as anyone in the Ieague.
The picked team, captained by Eddie
Fernandez, should make a strong
showing against any team which car
be found in Hawaii They have hard
hitters, fast base runners and good
felders. If the games on Saturday |
are not worth the price Of admittance, |
half OF which it must be remembered |
goes TO the yacht club, there must be |
wrong.
