COMBINATION
TEAMS To PLAY
Diamond Head-Punahou Team
VS. st. Observation-Disclosures
Next Saturday.


the c. A. Cs. have announced, through
the Advertiser, that they are unable
to put out teams for this weekend,
another schedule had to be arranged.
Charlie Falk and Pat Gleason com
bined to make a very excellent sug.
gestion and one that will result in,
perhaps, the best drawing card of the
season. The second game on Saturday
will be between a picked team from
the Diamond Heads and Punahous and
a picked team from the st. Louis and
Kamehamehas. These two combina-
tions viii produce large amount of
class. Here are the teams as picked
last night
Diamond Heads and Punahous-Ly.
man, Castle, Eddie Fernandez, Hamp-
ton, Sing Chong, E. Burns, Olmos, Fl.
Bruins, Louis, Kia and Leslie.
st. Louis and Kamehamehas-Ba
ney JOY, Dick Reuter-, Soares, G. Bruins,
Paul Burns, Vannatta, Mckenzie, Ay-
lett, En- Sue, Ross and Jas. Williams.
The batteries were not selected last
night but there is plenty of time in
which to pick them and more than
enough of good material in each case.
1t is impossible to say which of these
two teams has the better chance on
paper but the individual class is such
that it is evident that the team that
finds itself the sooner will be the one
to win the game.
The Sunday schedule will be the st.
Louis and the Santa Clara and the
Diamond Heads and Keios. With re-
gard to the latter game there was some
talk. The Diamonds feel that they are
crippled and are reluctant to meet the
Japs again under these conditions. But,
crippled as they may be, the Jewels
can go out on the field with a knowl-
edge that they have TO work to win,
and can come pretty near putting it
over any aggregation that butts up
against them.
Here is case where the Diamond
Heads will make pals with the fans If
they come through and play the Ke1os.
They have no catcher-that is admit
ted-but Chi Bui Farm is eligible to
play for them, and the fast little
Chinaman can certainly handle any
thing that Leslie sends over. It is
practically decided that Bui will wear
the big glove and stand behind the bat
when the Keios put their best ones in
to fan the air for Leslie.
The two-days schedule is good one
and there is no doubt that the fans
will appreciate this and turn out in
force to swell the gate receipts and
help the league to come even on the
enormous expenditure resultant on
bringing the Keios and Santa Claras
here
The first game Saturday will be a
good one and will certainly be hardly
contested exhibition of baseball. The
Santa Claras will arrive from Hilo Sat
urday morning and some of them may
have been seasick and they may not.
fans to dub them the "Seasick Kids
and Jack Doyle and company may be
expected to make this subject of
some very effective roofing.
The feeling around town is very
strong that the Jewels can do things
if they buck up and determine not to
be discouraged by their crippled ranks.
Every one of the players is good
one and a game sportsman and the
Keios would have to play their best
to beat a team of Diamond Heads if
only four men turned out on the field. |
Eddie Fernandez is whole team in
himself contemporary took occa-
sion to make remarks about Eddie s |
methods. but those who have Travelled |
and seen ball in different parts of the
world know that Eddie has the right |
dope. This can. of course, be carried |
too far. but it is the vim and go of |
the captain S work that carries team
through. While Eddie is doing stunts |
that the fans think is mere playing |
to the gallery, he is really winning the
game. He holds the team together and !
encourages them by raising laugh |
when man makes an error. SEQ to |
it Eddie is the general sentiment |
around town. The Diamond Heads can |
beat most any team if they will go out
on the field with the feeling that they /
must do their best and the peerless |
confidence in their own ability that /
goes with every good team
