RIETOW.DEERR
MATCH IS CLOSE

The second round of the Wall cup
tennis tournament was played yester-
day afternoon on the Beretania courts
and was productive Of some excellent
playing.
Bockus beat Page, Is, 6--3. Clark
beat Gray, GO, 6-1. Captain Low
beat Forster, 60, 60, and DEER and
Rietow had to quit on account of dark
ness after DEER had won the first set,
Cd and the second set had gone to
eight all
The games between Page and Bockus
were keenly contested. Page had
Bockus five to two in the first set but
Bockus put on a terrific squirt and won
the next five games straight. In those
five games he put up as clever and
fast a game of tennis as he has ever
shown here.
The Rietow-Deerr match was very
spectacular one. In the second set
Rietow bucked up considerably and
kept Noel DEER hustling ali over the
courts. First one would win a game
and then the other and the score kept
showing itself 4-5, ALL 6--5 and so
on until it stood all and they had to
quit on account of darkness.
Clark, the malihini player. is doing
well. He is not easy at any time and
may well be one of the runners-up,
even if he does not win the cup. He
plays an exceedingly clever game and
is there at the net as well as in the
back court on all occasions.
Play will be resumed this afternoon.
Rietow and DEER win finish their lit
tie argument and the winners of yes
terday will play the winners of the first
round.

BIG BASEBALL SERIES IS
ARRANGED AT LAST
Japs and Jewels Will Play Series Starting
Next Sunday---Japs Have Hopes
of Winning.

The Japs will play the Diamond
Heads. This is the final result after
much squabbling and talking. Yet it
is good result in many ways. The
series will start next Sunday at half
past three at the Athletic Park, after
the walking race and, in Difference to
the baseball players, the walking race
will be started promptly at half-past
one, in order to give everybody
chance TO get down to the Athletic
Park after the finish.
The J. A. G.. is headed by Jack Not
ley. recognized sportsman of the very
test type and he, backed by his team,
the team that he has made by hard
work, gives good reasons for playing
the Diamond Heads instead of the
SAINTS.
To summarize what he has to say
is that the Japs feel that they are not
quite strong enough for the Saints and
would sooner take on the Sparklers first.
Then, if they are lucky enough to hand
it to the Diamond Heads they will
willingly try conclusions with the
Saints.
To quote Jack Motley, eff we can
beat the Diamond Heads why then we
still have another rung of the ladder to
climb before we can call ourselves the
champions of the Islands,"
The series will be three out of five
and will start next Sunday with game
every Sunday until such time as the
championship of the series is decided.
Jewels Not Too Confident.
To show that the Sparklers are not
too Jolly confident of winning they
have garnered in the services of Glib
son, the crack marine pitcher. Seeing
that Gibson is distinctly an Oahu league
man. this does not seem exactly fair,
but. if the j. A. C. have nothing to
saw against it and show their con-
fdence in their own pitchers by allow
ing this, there is certainly nothing t6
be said against it in the press.
Japs Have Good Team.
The Japs will certainly have a great
team to play the sassy Sparklers. They
have their two great batteries, the King
of Spain and Hoopii and Jack Flores
and Brito and all the fans know what
a really excellent outfeld they have. 1t
is doubtful if there is such another
heady and quick center-felder as Hen
~ Walker on the Islands, then they
have a good choice for first base and.
though neither Augie Dreier nor any of
the other Oahu league men has quite
such a reach and such a cool head as
Eddie Fernandez, there is no reason
to believe that there will be many er-
rors through first.
The Jewels Will have a good team.
slightly better than that which got
theirs from the Saints recently. Whine
will be there to catch and he is GER
tainly a good one with the big mitt.
Leslie win be the standby as pitcher
with Gibson to alternate. This should
be a hard combination.
