Nine innings Of really great base
bail was played to almost empty
hieachers yesterday at the League
grounds when the Marines and National
Guard met in the first game Of the
Military series which will end Septem-
Der 3. The game was marred only by
the frequent heavy showers that drove
the few spectators into the rear Of the
grand>tand and soaked the players to
the skin.
The playing Of both teams was d
surprise and with the probable excep-
ton Of the FIRST Hospital Corps
New Orleans game. was the best OF
Honolulu ; opening season. The Half
vets won every run they made by neat,
consistent playing and barred out their
opponents Tor the same reason. Gibson
tWlrled for them and the old favorite
did wonderful work. Captain Davis on
first base made one Of the star catches
OF the day when he annexed foul fly
with his glove hand. lie almost leaned
over the bIeac hers to get it and for a
moment the little bunch Of shiyerIug
fans made as much noise as d grand
stand full.
Flores and Moses formed the batteries
for the guardsmen and the little pitcher
occasionally got wild and issued too
many passes for the safety OF his side.
At least two runs were brought in by
men who were walked to the first sack.

Bowen, athletic officer Of Fort Shafter
withdrew his team and IN consequence
the second game scheduled between the
Infantry and the Fifth Cavalry, was not
played. Bowen ; action was due to his
team ; lack Of a pitcher as he did not
believe they stood a chance with the
other teams constituting the league for
this reason. Officers Of the Fifth Cav

out to Leilehua and stop the team from

to the rain he put them in their Old
