T he good rain Wednesday morn
ing was just what was needed af-
tor the three warm days with hot
winds. The grain that is now
headed will have time to get fuller
before ripening. The barley near
town is fast ripening and all grain
is doing we'll and the very late fax
may now get a good start
and come out alright by the end
of the season.

twirling for the Beers against the Half

Spain, Don Quixote Flores and that
grand old standby Gibson, of the Ma
rines, if the latter does not twirl in the
first game.
For catcher it seems very probable
that Sheppard of the Fifth Cavalry
will be the choice. He seems to be
about the cleverest and headiest catcher
on the park diamond. For first base
there are many possible choices. Both
Augie Dreier and Woods have been do
ing grandly. For shortstop there is
Long, Ayau, and Coll. Any one of
these can make good on any team.
Sing Chong or Ross are right there

material galore to pick from. Whatever

NEXT SUNDAYS GAMES.

Picked Fleet team VS.. picked Oahu
League team.
The big doings will come off at the
Athletic park next Sunday. Instead of
the Oahu league starting its second
series there will be two large and
voluminous games. It was only few
weeks ago that the Half-wets and Beers
made a very notable record by going
nineteen innings to tie.
The first series is pau except for this
game and the result will have a very
large effect on the championship of the
first series. AT present the Japs are
ahead, having played nine and won six
games, while the Beers have played
eight and won five. If the Beers win
this game, they will tie with the Japs
and there will be considerable popping
of the neither regions.
If the Halfwets stick it over on the
Beers, something they would dearly love
to do, then the Japs will be the cham
pions of the first series.

Yesterday they practised in the har-
Dor for the first time and Rusty found
that he could steer a very straight
course. They believe that the straight
away course will be great advantage
for them. It should be, judging by
the last Waikiki regatta when the Out

thing. It vas noticed that the haole
boys steered a much straighter course
than even the older Hawaiian paddlers.

HAWAIIAN MARKSMEN.

CAMP PERRY, o., Aug. 1s.-The
Hawaiian rife team arrived at the

teen-day trip from the Islands, and will
Immediately enter all of the important

Major w. R. Riley team coach. There
are eighteen men on the team.
On the arrival of the Hawaiian team,
which is one of the most popular teams
that visit the range, they were greeted
bv hundreds of shooters. They imme--
diately made preparations for holding
a general campfire, and extended an
invitation to all teams on the range TO
be their guests. A full string band
and double quartet furnished music.

a grand game. Score-6 to 2A Maui.
Sixth Period.-There had been a
half-time rest and Maui started off
with renewed vigor. After fifteen Sec
conds of play Harry Baldwin scored
with a peachy backhander. For sew
eral minutes play was in front of the
Oahu goal. Harry shot but missed but
Harold Rice sent through just before
time. to "a Maui.
Seventh Period.-John Fleming saved
a hard threaten and passed to Sam but
Harry was there and put through after
a few seconds of play. Then John got
busy and carried up the field to the
front of the Maui goal where Walter
took charge and put through for the
fourth and last Oahu score. Frank was
away directly afterwards and sent
through but the bell rang trifie before
the ball passed the posts and so the goal
was disallowed 9 to 3% Maui.
Eighth Period-Harry Baldwin did
the lonesome act ten seconds after the
throw in. Again Oahu took brace and
made fine kahnna but there was nothing
doing and Frank took the ball down
the sidelines scoring from the side
boards in beautiful long drive. The
prettiest drive of the day. II to 3A
Maui.
Ninth Period.-David made the play
of the day by taking the ball the length
of the field and scoring. Rice repeated
the dose from a mixup and was the
tertium quid for the fourteenth and last
score of the game. IA to 3A Maui.
Tenth Period-The last spasm was a
fierce one. The Oahu team was deter
mined to score and seemed to let loose
all it's energy in final effort. But
there was nothing doing. Frank Bald
win was the ubiquitous kid and the rest
of the Maui team was individually
right there when wanted. The game
ended with the Oahu team in front of
the Maui goal.
