PLENTY Of BASEBALL
TODAY AND SUNDAY

Lovers of the great American game
of baseball will have plenty of chance
today and tomorrow to see good fast
ball as some close games are expect /
ed to result in the ten games schedui-
ed.
This afternoon the Kams and Saints,
and Puns and Highs will meet in tn
regular games of the Interscholastic
league, while Fort Kruger and the N.
G. H., and the goth Infantry and Hos
pital Corps will play in the Military
league games.
More than the usual amount of in
terest is being taken in the school
games, as all the teams are putting
up fine exhibitions of the national
game. Punahou so far this year has
played better ball than the rest Of
the teams in the school league, al
though the High School theam are to
be reckoned with before the season isl
over.
Today's game at Alexander field
should be a very close one as both
teams have been out every day get
ting in practice which was badly
needed On account of the much
larger student body TO draw from, Pu
nahou has been able to get team to-
gether that have played the game
longer than the majority of the High
School players, and as a rule the
Puns have been much more faithful
in getting out to practice. Chilling
worth who has the distinction of be-
Puns have had but in spite of this
his age in the territory, has done a
great deal to pull the McKinleyites
! together in their playing and during
! the past week "Hi'' mas laid down
practice rules that ought to count in
the game this afternoon. The High
School team has had the disadvantage
OF not having as many coaches as the
Pune have had, but in spite of this
handicap the team has played some
good games.
Both the Kamehameha and Saint
Louis teams have had old leaguers
to show them the fine points of the
much good. The two teams from the
played so poorly at times is on ac
count of not playing together. Team
work is one of the most essential
5hlngs in any sport but when players
attempt to play entirely to the grand
stand they can expect to do their team
much good. The wo teams from the
Eva part of the city have been prae-
ticinC hard for their game today,
which should result in a good game
being played.
Practice and plenty of it has been
the order of events for the two teams
managed by Sergeant Barry, and the
followers Of the National Guard feel
confident that their run of defeat will
be turned to victory today.
The n. G.. H. team will meet the
newly organized team rom Fort Ruger
in the first game, while Barry's street
cher carriers will play the boys from
Fort Shafter in the second.
Both games will be started today on
time according to those who have the
say about such things, and if good
weather prevails the league grounds
will no doubt attract large crowd,
especially the men of the service.
The third Sunday of baseball in the
Oahu League schedule will be played
at Athletic park commencing at 1870
and no doubt big crowd will be on
hand as usual to see the minor lea
que teams in action The first game
which will be between the Portuguese
and Marine teams is bound to at
tract a crowd especially from the p.
A. C. followers who will act as hosts
to their cOuntrymen who are in port
on the cruiser Sac Gabriel.
j The second game between the J. A.
C's. and C. A. C.'s should be bat
tie royal, as these teams are bitter
rivals as far as baseball is concerned,
and before the game is over the fans
should see some exciting ball.
Those who want to see baseball
and also want to be in the country
can go to either Eva or Waialua anc
see the plantation league games, whicr
will no doubt be good.
At Aala park, in the morning the
Asahis and Banzai teams will fight it
out for the cup presented by the Jap,
anese consul for the team winning the
best three out Of five games.
With all these games to choose from
the fans ought not to worry about no
having major league to amuse them
as fast and exciting games are usual!
