BY '. L. srxvrnsoH.

II the rain will only hold on to-
morrow and Sunday, some of the
best baseball seen in Honolulu for
long time will be seen at the
league grounds. The Jackies al
ways draw crowd to their games,
and the presence of their shipmates
always makes the men do their very
best. II is treat to sit in the
grandstand and listen to the remar ks
made By the rival crews as their
representatives on the diamond
either make or lose point.
No fan who saw the game betwee n
the West Virginians and the Wash
ingtons. few months ago. could
possibly wish to have a better time.
1t was the limit as regards the gen.
tie art Of roofing, and the two ships
bands that were seated on either
side Of the grandstand had con-
test all to themselves, and perhaps
they did not make noise; oh, no!
When the combined fleet nine
step onto the diamond tomorrow to
try conclusions with the best service
team In Hawaii. |. e., the Guards.
there will surely be . big crowd OF
civilians. sailors and soldiers pres
ent at the ground.
1t is long time since the fans
have seen exciting ball, and there is
no doubt that they are longing to
get out and root for the home team
when they face the visitors. Ser
geant Barry feels confident that his
bunch OF ball-swatters can take the
goat OF the combined nine, but there
is no denying that the sailors are
a strong aggregation and that un-
less the Guards have their very best
team on the field, the match may go
to the tackles.
When the two teams met before.
the Guards had more or less of a
makeshift team. and the consequence
was that they went down to tue
tune Of 3 to /. Several Of the men
did not turn up to play in the game,
and the result was that the Guards
name was M. U. d.
However. all the Guardsmen know
what depends on tomorrow's game,
and the strongest team the citizen
soldiers con get together win face
the sailors. Bushnell Is certain to
play. and as there was some doubt
about his being able to get OF for
the afternoon, the fans will be glad
to hear that everything has been ar
ranged o. X.
There will be two games on both
afternoons. and there will be abso-
lutely no charge made at the gates.
Everything will be free. and besides
the ball games there will be an add
ed attraction In the presence OF the
Hawaiian band on Saturday after
noon. and the bands from the Colo
RADIO and West Virginia on Sunday.
The first game tomorrow will be
between the Tennessee team and the
Fort Shafter boys, and In It some
good play should be seen. The SOL
diers will do their best to uphold
Oahu, and the tackles will make a
bold bid on behalf OF Neptune.
On Sunday the initial game will
be between the Marines and the Ten
nessee. and again a good match
should result. Gibson and Hines
will be the pitchers for the half
vets, and old reliable Anderson will
be on the receiving end. The Ma
rines will do their utmost to beat
the Jackies. and then II Barry's
Beauts defeat the combined nine
there will be some Joy In Honolulu
AZ the double win.
Everybody is invited to attend the
ball games tomorrow. and Sunday,
and there WILDE a treat in store for
the fans when the umpire cries
play. BALI for the first time.
