league grounds yesterday afternoon.
And that s the game that will do
business with the professionals. They
are not expecting to meet a bunch of
well-trained ball-players. Let a speedy
player work his way around to third,
and then do the trick, la yesterdays
performance, and those big leaguers
will pinch themselves to find out if
they are awake.
There isn t much to tell about that
game at the grounds yesterday after
noon It was a lop-sided affair, with
the lop on the side of the AllHawai-
ians. But it certainly was cracking
good practise, and the boys made an
excellent showing for the time that
they have been in uniforms.
If Dick Reuter- can do the f1inging
stunt as he did yesterday, he'll have
the champions swinging their heads
off. The bali he threw yesterday was
marvel The Marine Corps team
could no more touch him than a pig
can run a flying machine. It was
simply great the way Dick showed
perfect control, tipping speed, and
that famous old underhand ball that
looks like it is going to paste you in
the head and then shoots over the
plate. to be called "str-r-rike tu-uh'

Johnnie Williams also officiated in the
center of the diamond for the first four
innings, and he demonstrated that he is
the same, steady pitcher as of old.
By the way, Mr.. Fan, let us inform
you that Soares is a good little back

When Bill Hampton walks up to the
plate, with couple of men on bases,
and there is a kind of bulldog GRIN
around his lips, it is a pretty safe bet

meets the spheroid. Yesterday he
cracked out three-bagger just as if a
triple were the easiest thing in the
