MILITARY GAMES PAU
BIC LEAGUE FORMING
Cavalry and Marines May Play
for Cup-TaIk Fall Series and
Active Spring Meet.

The Military league Is pau pending
the formation II the big league. which
s rapidly being nurtured into being.
and the regular schedule Of games al
the league grounds has been abandoned.
Il has been proposed, however, that the
Marines and the Fifth Cavalry mines,
which are the best teams Of the league,
play a serie. Of three matches for the
pennant, or league championship cup,
which was put up by the Military Attn
letic Association al the beginning Of
the season. but there VIII not be any
games tomorrow.
The teams that have thus far been
approached on the big league PROPOSE
ton are ready and anxious 10 arrange
a schedule Of games, and II Is likely
that a short series viii be run off i'm
mediatelv after the Waseda campaign
is finished.
1t was said yesterday by d well-In-
formed citizen. who has been an ardent
supporter of baseball and IS in close
touch with military athletics, that Cor
poraI Woodruff, manager of the Au-Mlil-
tarv team which beat the series Of three
games with the Wasedas, o., 6-5
10. is the best versed man IN the ser
vice on the national game, and if the
Military Athletic Association would de
tail him TO look after the formation OF
, the league and put in his time managing
It. he would make il bowling success
Officers Jealous.
While the corporal is acquainted witt
all the regular service players ane
knows best what each one can do, TIN:
same authority said yesterday, the off
GERS are inclined TO be little ieaiou:
of Woodruff In times past leaders OF
the diamond sports dug deep INTO inei1
j treasure pockets 10 finance the sp0r
/ and put IN much of their valuable tins
| drilling the teams for the struggle. a
the situation is now, professionalism
has crept in. TO some extent. and tn
whole thing is run very largely for per
sonal gain. The first break from TIM
onto the amateur basis is a struggle.
was said Yesterday. and calls for Leap
! Honolulu has Al individual player
enough with some teams already organ
/ lied TO form a league capable u pro
duaing baseball that would class n
with The game anywhere. The fans sc
tired, however. of seeing all local
matched up all the time and the draw

some reputation to visit fEa Islands -
q series.
Too Much Baseball.
Al Castle said yesterday that, in IN
opinion, ii would be better to run of
short series between the teams OF IN
proposed league this fall and then oFe
Iup strong in the spring with an onts1d
team to put the local boys on the jun
TO hold them down and keep up III
rivalry and interest. One trouble hen
is. Castle said, the people are treated
too much baseball. When the gam
gets started it Is apt to keep gong a
winter. whereas it should have an II
ming in the spring and fall and the
give way to something else in the II
term.
It was thought yesterday. by those Il
tervicwed. that a short snappy serl'
following up the Waseda schedule WouI
get the fans used to going 10 the ieagT
grounds and accumulate A nucleus
funds in the Military Athletic Associ
ton treasury. and next spring the Spo
might take on new life and grow vi
orouslv under the impartial influence
strictly amateur principles.
The committee appointed by the MI
tarv Athletic Association last Monda
afternoon is at work on the big leag'
, proposition and will probably be III
position to report definite plans at ne,
week 5 session.
