Reachs All American Baseball Stars
arrived here this morning aboard the
S. S. China, on their Orient tour. An
immense crowd OF local enthusiasts
met them at the Channel wharf and
many of the aggregation known to
Honolulans found old friends await
ing them. While the band was not on
hand, it was not missed, for the re-
ception given the famous bunch was
all that could be desired from the
viewpoint of the fans.
Aboard the China the Reach boys
and those travelling with them were
the main attraction. There was calm
weather en- route and very few were
seasick. Most of them went for a dip
at Waikiki as soon as they could.
Renewing acquaintanceships is the
stunt until o'clock this afternoon
for those of the crowd who have been
here before and making friends is the
logical occupation, unit 1.-THE China
sails for the Orient this afternoon,
of those who have not been here be-
fore.
, The Reach visitors are John Bliss,
Bill Burns, II. Danzig, Jim Delehanty,
Bill Devereaux Cred Dog, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mike Fisher, Pat Flaherty, G.
Graney Mr.. and Mrs. George Hide
brand and child, William Heitmuller,
Roy McArdle and Nick Williams.
SIX GAMES IN HONOLULU.
On the return this way the Reach
talent will play six games against
picked Hawaiian team. They will ar
rive here on January 20 and, accord
ing to present pans, will leave here
for San Francisco in the S. s. Tenyo
Maru on February 8, unless it is de-
cided to make another visit to the
volcano, when a steamship will be
missed on that account.
CATCHER AND COACHER.
The Honolulu baseball trustees have
arranged for Pat Donahue of the Bos-
tons, of tie American League, to come
here about a month before the Reach
bunch gets here on the way back, to
catch for the local picked team and
to coach the Hawaiian team. The To-
cal team will have one advantage
against the Reach lot in that the latter
will be twenty-three days on the wa
ter and without a game of ball from
Manila to this port.
Pat Donahue will take full charge
of the local players, selecting a team
from the best Hawaiian players,
TALLEST PLAYER IN WORLD.
Danzig has the distinction of being
the tallest man playing baseball in the
world. He is siX-feet-siX and built in
proportion. The Reach boys also have
the distinction Of being the heaviest
baseball team in the world and, again,
their uniforms are perhaps the most
attractive ever worn. The playing
suits are white with the shield and
American spread-eagle embroidered in
silk on the left arm; the white caps
are embroidered with the American
flag; stockings are red, white and
blue striped, as are the jersies; the
coat is a bright red with blue lapels,
with white stars ON the sleeves.
LEAVE SILVER BAIL HERE.
The team carries silver mounted
ball which will be placed on exhibit
ton in Honolulu and will be awarded
the gentleman of this city who pitches
the first ball in the first game of the
local series. A silver loving cup, ten
inches high, is carried, with crossed
bats and ball, to be awarded the team
making the best showing against the
Reach lot during the Orient tour.
