they would never be done on the Coast

himself obnoxious by yelling at the

BALL SUGGESTED

Things look good for interisland
baseball Charles Falk has had a letter
from Hilo asking for a date somewhere
about September is to 20 for an All
Hawaii island team to play here.
A prominent fan comes in with tho
suggestion that they stop at Maui on
their way here and pick up team from
that island, then we could have some
three 'cornered baseball that would be
the original hummer.
The letter has not yet been acted
upon, but there is little doubt that the
proposition will be accepted and, before
very long, we may hope to have the
infinite satisfaction of seeing our boys
playing the champions of the other
islands.
The following is the communication
C. j. Falk, Esq, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: l beg to inform you that
1 am DESTROYS of taking representa-.
/ tive Hawaii ball team to Honolulu, say
"h ocP1 10 VI SUN \lorher uatc pre-
/ ferred).
The proposed team will comprise
mostly the Mooheaus, who defeated the
Keio team, and also have all but Sc.
cured the championship pennant in our
local series.
1 would be obliged if you will let
mo know what induccment you can of
feri viii you allow us seventy-fve per
cent of the net receiptsi And we will
pay all our own expenses.
1 think that yearly interisland games
would meet with general support, and
feel that team from Hawaii visiting
your ETY. would be the means of visit
next year of Honolulu players to whom
we would be most happy to give every
encouragement.
will be obliged if you will reply
as soon as possible, making any sug-
gestions, and referring to any details;
for which / will be most thankful.
1 am sending this letter per Lurline
this afternoon which should arrive in
Honolulu tomorrow, therefore possibly
you may be able to reply by Claudine
leaving Honolulu Friday.
Yours respectfully,

in the first. Jim Williams sent fair
ly high and hot one to center field. 1t
looked like a sure single, but Ohashi
ran for it and caught it neatly at full
speed.
En- Sue also made very spectacu-
lar catch in the sixth. Sasali skied
and the ball went foul off third base,
but En- Sue ran for it and caught the
ball just before he caromed into the
third.base bleachers. Apart from this
En- Sue played "A mighty good game.
He was very fit, and worked like n
Trojan. He never failed to reach first
every time he was at .the bat, and
mostly reached second, and in one in
stance third.
Barney Joy hit two-bagger in the
eighth down by center field that would
have been a home run for Splinter
like En- Sue. AS it was, the big man
reached second in plenty of time. 1t
was an awful swat and brought forth
rounds of applause from the bleachers,
Jack Doyle and Company included
The Saints were in very tight box
in the eighth, but they came out of it
with flying colors. Takahama singled
and Abe went to first on n tumble by
Bushnell Then Kanki sacrificed and
Takahama and Abe went to third and
second. With only one man down and
second and third occupied, it looked
very bad. The coaches and fans did
their best to get Bushnell ratified, but
there was nothing doing in that line
and both Koyama and Fukuda were
| served with nice easy ones that they
placed surely down by first, where
they were easily put out.
1t looked like the Saints from the
time they went in to bat. They show
ed that they were tuned up for the
game, and played with snap and &c
from the first. En- Sue went to first
on Higo's error, Bushnell skied while
En- Sue stole second. Then Jim Will
liam skied and Ohashi made his pretty
catch. Joy reached first on shortstop
Sasaki's error, and En- Sue went ia
third. Barney walked to second dur.
ing lull; he scorned to run, and then
Bruins walked.
Although there were two men down
the bases were full, and it looked very
wobbly for the Keios. Aylett was due
for timely bingle, but he could not
quite make it, and the Japs were saved
for the time being.
Before the Keios went in, ohashi
was led by Jack Doyle to the frbnt OF
the bleachers, where he was introduced
to the crowd and three hearty Banzais
delivered in his honor. But this
brought little luck, for the laps went
out in the first in short order, mainly
due to very clever double play by
Pat Clemson and Jim Williams.
The second was short and swift. Ko-
wanna famed Pat. then Deep Sleep
Daniel was out at first, and Soares

HENRY BUSHNELL PITCHES
FAST AND CLEVER GAME
tFrom Monday.s AayertIser.l

A slimly-built youth went on the
field yesterday at the ball park, stood
in the box, twisted himself into the
usual pitchers contortions, and began
TO do things. He not only began, but
he kept it up for nine innings, and the
little Japanese players were white
washed.
The feature of his pitching was the
steadiness of it. He never got ratified
and the most tremendous efforts of
Kanki and 0hashi in the eoachers
boxes were unable to feaze him for a
second. Once or twice it looked dan
gerous for the Saints, but Henry was
always there with the ice.bound nod
die, and took the advice of one burly
rootcr who begged him to keep cool
and take his time.
1t was a fast and snappy game. II
is true that Jack Doyle and Jack
Junior had few opportunities for gloat.
ing, but the Keios played their usual
fast and clever game and made the
Saints work their hardest to tally four
on them.
Perhaps the main feature of the
game, outside of Bushnell s pitching,
was a turning catch made by Ohashi

TWO SOFT DRINK
FIRMS IN MERGER

The Canton City Bottling Co. is the
name that will be used by a new in
corporation in this city, since the con-
solidation OF the Whitmer & Barnett
and Edward Feller pop companies.
This was decided at a meeting of the
stockholders of the new organization
Monday night, when the following Of
ficers were elected: President, Adam
Shorb; vice president and sales man
ager, Robert F. Barnett; secretary,
treasurer and superintendent, Edward
Feller; directors, Adam Snorb, John
F. Weiss, Robert F. Barnett, Edward
Feller, John Seiber, Sr., John Som
mers and John ROmmel.
1t is the intention OF the new COM
pany to close the old plant conducted
by Whitmer & Barnett, East Eighth
street, and transact all the business
from the building erected few years
ago by Mr.. Feller. South Market
street end the B. & o. railroad. 1nis
building is amply large enough to
conduct the business of the new COM
pany and it will be equipped with the
latest and most improved machinery
for the turning out of pop and other
soft drinks.
Forest Whitmer, connected with the
firm of Whitmer & Barnett, retires to
devote his entire time to the Vani-
Cola business, which has been stead
lily increasing since the drink was in
troduced.
