BIG LEAGUE BALL
DESERVES SUPPORT

Now that the big league season is
fairly under way a few words on the
prospects of the season and the chances
OF the various teams of anneXing the
remnant may not be out of place.
The league has started out with one
game every Saturday afternoon. Many
people think that there should be two
games. Judging from the attendance
last Saturday something is needed to
buck the fans up. On Saturday after
noon a great number of the baseball
loving section of the community get
through work at one o'clock and then
90 home. The game at the ball park
is not called till $3.50 p. m. and by
that time Mr. Fan figures that it is
hardly worth while to turn out to see

HEAVY SPORTS
LEAVE TOWN

TWO well known sportsmen depart
ed for the Coast by the s. 5. Alameda
this morning. They were Jack Scully
and Jack Cordell !wo Jacks but not
the Two Jacks.
Both were covered with leis and
were given a rousing send-off by Il
huge crowd of friends.
Cordell, before leaving, asked a Star
man to convey his aloha TO all the
friends with whom he was unable to
shake hands personally.

boxers during the visit of the Fleet. ~
Jack Scully expects to return by the
s. S. China due here on Sept. 10. His
trip will be of a business nature and
will not be unconnected with local
sports When asked what scheme he
had up his sleeve, Scully laughingly
replied that he was going to make a.
bid for the Jeffries-Johnson battle.

that they are putting up poor game
Last Saturdays game between the

the same and the boys play their old

i'm the start he has taken and it is a
pity that his team mates do not look

The Diamond Heads appear to have
the strongest team in the big league.
They are certainly handing out the
fastest and snappiest ball OF any Of

Umpire MCHenry Is
A Versatile Sport

J H. McHenry, official umpire Of the
Oahu Baseball League, has been pro-
minently identified with sport for
many years and in many lands.
Baseball has always been his long
suit, though he takes great interest
in racing and the fighting game.
He started playing baseball IN the
States when twenty years of age and
played with various minor leagues in
1891 and the two following years.
McHenry has spent several years in
the Orient and played baseball in the
Philippines and in China 1t was
largely through his efforts that the
national game became firmly estab-
lished i'm Shanghai.
When not playing baseball NcHenry
has umpired and with unvarying sue
cess. A baseball umpire is born and
not made and this is certainly true or
