Sunday-Morning.
BY JACK DENsHAM.

From the time that the last race is
rowed on the harbor tomorrow until
SHUTDOWN Sunday there viii be excite
ment during almost every minute of
daylight at the Athletic Park.
The feature of the whole program is
really the All-Fleet VS.. All-Oahu League
game on Sunday afternoon. Since this
was announced in yesterday mornings
paper the town has been very much
stirred up over it, and everybody has
different lineup to suggest for the ALI
/ Oahus
The somewhat hurried and very ten
tative suggestions / made in yester-
days paper were promptly criticized
as they were meant to be-and the first
evidence of selections was when Tony
| Marcallino produced one which looked
very good.
Taking them all and mixing them
! mp there is not very much difference.
Everybody agrees that what is wanted
is stickers. We have noble army of
n-pointers in the Oahu League and,
If they get them in the right batting
order, they should be able to find the
waterline every time.
McHenry's Suggestion.
| One of the most expert and carefully
! thought-out ine-ups is that given out
by Umpire McHenry. Here is his line
up: Gibson and Sheppard for the bat
terry. Knight or Butler at first avenue,
Franco or Long at two-times, Ayau at
short, Slorp at third, Hang Chack for
left field, Walloper Walker for center,
and Billjams Rice for right.
Mac suggests the following batting
order: Long, Walker, Sheppard, Knight
or Butler, Franco, Slorp, Hang Chack,
Rice, Gibson.
A Good Order.
This makes noise like something
pretty good. One thing is certain and
that is that Long must be included
in the team for the sake of his re-
markable batting. The big, jolly man
from the Artillery is a wonder. when
it comes to a pinch. To look over the
files of the reports of baseball games
and to read the accounts in the papers,
you will see "Long swatted for one.
Long handed a grand double. Long
was there with fantail triple that
put the other bunch pupule. Long was
sure for bingle every time at bat. "
So far as the battery is concerned
I think that Mac is right. Bill Es-
pinda is a grand pitcher but he shines
mostly against people that he knows
and has not the rigid strength and
confidence that Gibson has shown when
Anderson was catching for him.
1t is my personal belief that Gibson
and Sheppard together viii make a
battery that will need an awful lot
of hurting. But everybody who fans
the games must admit that Gibson is
a wonder when he is properly kokuaed
and the big Fifth Cavalry boy is the
kiddo that can do it.
Knight or Butler is Mac's sugges-
ton for first base. Personally I have
great weakness for Augie Dreier.
He is a kid-admitted, but he has long
arms and a cool head and gets them
every time. Put the three names in
a hat and shake them up, then let
somebody draw and the first name out
will be the best.
Walker Is Needed
Walker is a necessary man. He is
errorless at center field and is a swat
artist of the As ca1iber. The only
thing that ever bothered Walker was
when he made his first appearance on
the Athletic Park grounds and blushed
when the bleachers cheered him. But
he is a grand swatter.
Talking about swatting, somebody
wants to get Sheppard peeved before
he goes in to bat. That is when he
does his best work. There is record
on file of time when he did not like
Mac s decision. The four-legger went
up to bat with large corpuseles in his
glims He swatted the first ball and
hit leftfeld fence. Tt won the game
for the Beers. Sheppard should catch
and he should be annoyed. IF nobody
else does 1 viii put a pin on the end
of stick and poke it in his legs. Then
I shall run very fast.
Hang Chack Is Good.
Hang Chack is a man that should
