COLD MEDAL
IS OFFERED

FOR HIGHEST AVERAGE MADE /
BY SANTA CLARA PLAYERS IN
HONOLULU SERIES.
A handsome gold medal has been |
offered to the player on the Santa Cla- !
IA bail team making the highest aver
age in the three-conered series to be
played here next month, and one may
easily guess at the class of ball these
visitors will put up individually to an
mex it. The award is from John A.
Kennedy of San Francisco, one of that
city's most prominent business men,
an ardent admirer of anything that is
amateur in craftsmanship.
Mr.. Kennedy is known from East to
West for the interest he has at all
times taken to father the game in col
! Iege base bali. He will not be able to
come to Honolulu with the team, as
business reasons keep him on the
| Coast, but that his goodwill goes with
the boys and has ever been with our
players here in the islands, is taken
from a recent interview with him on
the matter of the trip.
What do l think of it? Why those
Islanders are the greatest people in
the world for hospitality and you boys
should dish up a nice article of ball to
show them you appreciate their eff
forts. AS an incentive, l will give a
handsome gold medal to the student
making the highest average during the
Honolulu SERIES"

The big league games next Saturday
at the park should attract the largest
y
war in port are bound to send a num-
Der of men out to watch the games,
every sailor being crazy about the ma I
tional game. The Diamond Heads and
the Saints line up in the first game,
while the Kams and Puns will fight it
out in the second To pick the win
ners next Saturday is something that |
IS very hard to do, as the teams are so
nearly matched A large number feel,
however, that the Heads and the Puns
will nose out ahead. although there are
just as many cerIaIn that the other
teams will do the trick. At any rate
the games should be worth going to
see, and some good ball will be the or
der of events. Hampton, Chilling
worth, Reuter- and Bushnell will do the
twirling for their respective teams,
with Lyman Davis, Jones and JOY on
the receiving end.

mentioned that could give a good ac-
count of themselves if placed on some .
of these committees.
But there seems TO be a disposition, |
by the powers that be, not only 10 |
shelve the native, put the old residents
as well, many of whom have stood by
this country in it's darkest hours and
greatest need. Again, it may not be
generally known that it was not an
American but an Englishman that first
proposed annexation TO the United
States, and who came out strong and
flatfooted for it, when it was not very
pleasant or safe to do So and who is
ignored today for his pains.
| am not writing this to embarrass
anyone, but that a little consideration
may be taken of those who for some
reason have been overlooked, and
whom it is thought would, if placed on
some of these committees not only rem
der a good account of themselves, but
add to the enjoyment of the men of
the fleet And we should remember
that it's not the white race, or the Chi
nese or the Japanese, that the fleet and
other people come to see, but the ma
tive and games and other things native
and therefore as | have said before
they should not be placed in the back
grounds. Very truly,
GEO. OSBORNE.
