- / nave never seen more neddN
and quick amateur catcher than this
man Soares," said Mique Fisher at the
meeting of the league yesterday after
noon. "But there is something that he
could not possibly have that our boys
have. and that is experience. 1 think
1T would be a good idea if you would
allow us to lend you either battery
or a catcher for the final games, and
/ am sure that you will see difference
j, in the result.
- "EYou may take Bliss and Burns if
YOU wish to, or you may take Bliss
alone. You may have Flaherty or
Graney pitch for you and let the boys
see what they can do against Bill; in
fact you may make what use you like
of our team. l feel that | am not over
stepping the mark in what l propose,
because our players are stars from the
different mainland professional teams,
and your players all work for living
and could not be expected to be as good
as men who make a living at the
game"
Mique's very sportsmanlike offer was
accepted by the league, and the selec-
ton was left to Eddie Fernandez, cap
tain of the local team. 1t is up to him
to decide whether the All-Hawaii team
borrows a whole battery or only a
catcher. 1t is probable that Dick Reu-
10 no
the locals on Saturday and that Burns
and Bliss will be the battery on Sunday.
Strictly Local Team.
Today there will be strictly local
team in the field. Castle will pitch,
Louie Soares catch and the field will
be the same as Sunday, except that
aScottina, the new arrival, will decorate
second base. This is very strong
team and the visitors will have to take
things seriously. While the team does
not size up any stronger on paper, we
must remember the added experience
and practise they have had with the
visitors, and this will surely make a
!, large difference.
= There is a distinct possibility of the
locals doing something this afternoon.
The easy coat of confidence fits the
visitors well enough, but Joseph left a
few scraps when he fell into the well
and the All-Hawaiians have certainly
picked them up. They are more de-
termined than ever to buck up and
show what they can do, and there will
surely be some kind of showing who
ever wins.
Judge Is No Fan.
Eddie Fernandez, unfortunately, can
not play today. He has been serving
on a jury in one of the courts and the
presiding judge was unkind enough to
call the continuation of the case for
Soday 1t is a cinch that he is not a
fan or he would have put it off until
after the All-Stars leave here.
George Bruins will take Eddie's place
at first, and he may be relied on to play
a careful and heady game. With Castle
in the box there should be little steal
ing of second base by the visitors, as
the university pitcher has a neat de
livery to first base that, while not as
deceptive as that of the silent one, is
still very quick and able in the setting
down of would-be burglars.
Flaherty to Twill.
Flaherty will twirl for the visitors
this afternoon. He is considered to be
the most deceptive of the trinity OF
plate passers now with the team, but
he has not the speed of the titanic
Burns. 1t may be that the local boys
will find him for some long ones, some
thing like the two-bagger that Jack
Kia swatted out on Saturday. If they
can only do this, the rest of the visit
ing team will have to do some tai
fielding, as we take off our hats to NJ
team anywhere for base-running.
q Talking about base-running, every
body will have a chance on Saturday
Before the game there will be a short
field dav. This will start at two CLOCK
