The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-06-18

ers of the great national game OF
baseball will have plenty of games TO
pick from, as there are seven games
in the Military and Oahu leagues.
This afternoons games at the lea
! que grounds promise to attract a
| number of local fans in addition to
the regular attendants who come from
the several government posts. The
first game will be ~ G. H. VS.. Fort
Ruger; the second being Hospital
Corps VS.. Fort Shafter. Taking past
form into consideration, the teams
composed of members of the loca
militia should have little trouble in
defeating their service rivals.
Both Thompson and Barry are de-
termined to have their respective
teams do better work than they have
been doing in the past, and with chc
practice they have been having they
should play better and faster ball
The Fort Ruger team has been
handicapped in not having team
from their own camp to play with
them daily in practice, but taking
that into consideration they are play
ing much better ball than they did
at first
Fort Kruger has a team that would
be strong one, if the players would
play more as a team, instead of the
individuals trying to make a hit with
the grandstand.
The day of grandstand playing in
baseball is over, the captains and
managers these days are trying to
have their teams play together as a
unit, instead of one man doing the
whole of the playing.
The game at Leilehua tomorrow be-
tween the Marines and Cavalry should
be an easy one for the league leaders,
as they have certainly proved their
ability to play the game. Team work
has won all the games for the horse
soldiers, their signalling and all round
playing being better than any team
now playing in Honolulu.
The games tomorrow morning at
Athletic park in the Junior Oahu lea
que promise to be exciting from start
to finish, as all the teams are out de-
termined to win the championship.
The Asahis and c. A. C's viii play
| 40 hn Hnokg
and Palamas will meet in the Sec
ond.
These four teams have been putting
up classy baseball since their season
started, and if form is any criterion
to go by, close struggle will result
this year for the honors.
The afternoon games in the big
Oahu league will be p. A. G. VS.. ..
M. c.; and c. A. C. VS.. their old
rivals the J. A. C's. Since the Oahu
league started their series, the teams
have been playing bah of big maiu-
; land variety, and before the season
is over some exciting games will be
played to decide the championship
honors.
Louis Soares feels confident that
his team will continue to play during
the entire series the way they are
playing now, and he also goes so far
as to say that the pennant will go
to the p. A. C.'s this year without
doubt. Both the first games today
and tomorrow will start at 1870, the
second being called at $3.50.
Extra practice for the international
series which starts on July 3 is III
order among all the teams, as they
know they will have to go some #
they want to win from the crack Wa.
soda team.
A great deal of speculation is go
ing ON at present about the strength
of the Waseda team, as it is well
known fact that they are rot con
sidered TO be as fast team as the
Keio team which played here two
years ago If Waseda is not as strong
as Keio, the local teams in the com
ing series should have little trouble
in defeating them in nearly every
game.
Honolulu at present is baseball
crazy, and the chances are that the
: games in July and August win at
tract the largest crowd ever present
at baseball game here.
No pains have been spared by tho
management to assure the series be
X ing a success, and if this years ven
Z ture turns out as expected either
\ Keio or Waseda will be asked t
X come again next year.
\ For the sake of the game and t.
q uphold Honolulus reputation as
= baseball town, it is up to every on
who cares for baseball to turn GU
