The real feature in today's baseball
| is the battle between the c. A. Cs. and
| Aalas for the final championship of the
Kalanianaole League. The Aalas won
| the championship of the second series
| and were tied with the dragonlets for
the championship Of the first series.
They played off to see who would be
and the Cheeky kids won. Then they
: had to play or a series to see who
would be the real big champions of the
! whole league. The good dragonlets won
j the first agame but the Aalas won the
! next and now they will play off for
the championship.
1t is going to be a hot game. Apau
! the famous twirler of the dragonlets has
been studying curves for the last week
! and he expects TO have a hard bunch
! for good old Cheeky to hold. The lat
| ter has been busy keeping in condition
and refuses to have anything to do with
/ the Riverside pilikia. He was an in
! terested spectator of the basketball
game between the girls and male ia
entity of Oahu College on Friday and
states that he expects to take to bas
| ketball as means to keeping in train
ing.
Fred Luning will be opposite to that
| great Manuel Gomez for the Aalas
! Apau has a new bunch but Manuel has
some that figure pretty well on paper
and it will be a frst-class batter in
deed that swats either of the pitchers
| today.
Shoot. Eat, Play Ball.
At Fort Shafter the n G.. FL. are con
ceded to have practically walkover
But there is one thing in which even
/ the n. G. H. cannot beat the road
Founders and that is in. hospitality.
When Lieutenant Chiffon (You know
him, the man that made the home
run at Atkinson Park when they were
| playing the Sherlock Holmes from the
+ transport), understood that most of the
team would be out at the Fort shoot
! ing in the morning and that it would
! take time for them to get back to town
Nfor their uniforms and lunch, he set
tied, matters very quickly. Quoth he,
! Bring your uniforms with you. get
| an appetite on the range and then come
and tifin with us awhile at about half
/ past twelve
And the National Guards will tiffin.
They viii stow away several pounds
of good things IN their interims and
then they will be too heavy to play
ball. But that is a miserable slam on
the most genial hospitality that ever
i happened. AS matter of fact there
! would not be fan in town who would
| crouch if those good Twentieth kids
i handed it to the Nationals IF ever
/ there was a team that bucked up under
successive defeats and came through
with a better game every time, it GER
tainly is the Twentieth Infantry team.
! More power to their swat arms and six
| home-runs for them today.
Game for Second Place.
At Leilehua there will be very large
doings. The Marines and Cavalry bunch
have both given the Guards an awful
hot time. They have both played five
games. The Marines have won three
and the Fifth two. Should the Cavalry
win today they will be tied for second
place and then there will doubtless be
a privately arranged game to see who
takes second place. If the Marines win
they will be an easy second.
Who VIII Lead?
At Kapiolani Park there will be some
grand excitement. The first game will
be between the All-Stars and the All
Hawaiis with outsiders picked in. This
will be a redhot game all right, all
right. The Hawaiis have been going
down the toboggan slide on account of
hard luck with their players but they
are the best of good sportsmen and
they have a gang of live ones ready
to help them out today.
The Reach team that went away from
the Kalanianaole League and joined the
Waikiki bunch, is good one. 1t IS
leading by big margin but the High
lands are after them hotfOot and II
there is no actual bloodshed on the dia-
mond there will be some metaphorical
stuff of that kind. Not to mention
