N ew Military
League To
Start

The Military men are sure the
1 real thing in the baseball line, ant
they can be depended upon to keer
things going all the time. The lat.
est and best news Honolulu fans
have heard for some time is that at
the finish Of the present military
series new league Will be formed,
and one more team will enter for
the series. The U. s. Engineers are
the boys who have thrown down the
gauntlet to the rest Of the military
men, and IL is reckoned that the
pick and shovel" lads can put up
a dandy game of ball between spells
of digging and erecting Uncle Sans
Notifications. o..
What with five military teams in
competition, there will be unlimited
joy, and the games should prove just
as exciting as the present series are
now doing. As most of the Guards
will have to go to the mainland for
the annual shoot, they will put a
substitute team In the field, and
rumor has IL that this other bunch
OF players is almost as good as the
present team.
The new league will start up as
soon as the present series is finished,
and then the fans will be treated TO
Honolulu. The interest taken in the
soldiers games is increasing every
day. and regret is being expressed
that the series is nearly pau. How
very soon the fans will be hard ut
work doping up the form OF the new
teams.
There Is move on foot TO post
pone the game tomorrow between
the Marines and Fort Shafter till
II is thought that with
the intense interest that is being
taken in the series that II would be
a pity to play fine game on We'd
nesday, when only a few people !
could get OF to watch the game. |
although It is not def
nitely settled. 1t is very probable !
that some such arrangement will be
made. The only drawback is that !
there would also be n game at Lei |
lehua, between the Cavalry and the |
Guards. and much as a man would |
like to be in the two places at once,
1t is, unfortunately, impossible.
However the town people want to
see ball at home, so everyone can
take their choice between the two |
games = one at Aala and the other
at Schofield Barracks. The Guards |
are certainties for the champion
ship now, but wait till the new
league starts and watch the Engi- |
neers do the trick with the rest OF
the bunch.
On Sunday also the lnvincibles |
will try conclusions with a baseball |
team from the japanese Tennis 4,
Club, and II remains to be seen how !
the racket wielders will stack up |
against Vierra's bunch of unbeaten |
ball tossers. The latter team have |
won every match they have played |
so far, and their manager Is conf
dent that there Is not combina- !
ton business house team In the city |
who can put over the Wall Nichols |
crowd.
II is such good news that 1t must !
be repeated The new league will !
start up as soon as the present SER |
les Is pau. and one more team, the |
will enter the competi-
tion. Five teams in all, and all
trier, too, should provide a baseball
treat that will make the fans sit up
and take notice. One thing is
needed at Aala Park, and that Is
some kind OF old table for the sport
ing reporters. II is miserable dodg-
ing around, first on one foot and
then on the other. holding copy pa
per in one hand and trying to make
notes Of the game. Any old bench,
or even packing case of decent
size, would make the task of the
newspaper men a little more pleas
ant. Think it over, Mr.. President.
