At a meeting Of the board Of man

were voted in.
There are now eight teams repre-

With the added strength OF these two

With little mint sauce to help the
illusion, 1t would have been easy to
believe that eleven spring lambs were
gamboling on MoIliili field yesterday
afternoon. Green grass and open
fields looked SO good to the Stanford
baseball players after their. long yoy,
age, that they cut loose in style on
the occasion of their first practice in
Honolulu.
The collegians were mighty careful
not to risk their throwing arms, but
they limbered up their legs, and chased
batted balls for couple of hours.
Maple, Hahn and Gragg, the three
twirlers, warmed up with easy work,
and all expressed themselves as sat

there are some free sWingers on the
team. and II the college men can CON.

noon, they are likely to give the out
fielders something to think about. The
Stanfordites liked the field, and COM
mented on the fact that Moiliili was
a real ball park, where extra base
hits could be earned fairly.
This afternoons game against the
All-Seryice team is scheduled for
4:15, to give all the. fans a fair
chance to see it. Captain Applin had
his players out for practice yesterday
before the collegians put in an APP
pearance,, and the soldier players
certainly looked fit to put up first
class argument Lawson will pitch
for the All-Service today, with Kick
at the receiving end
The soldier team will be much weak
ened by. the absence of Robinson, the
hard-hitting shortstop, who is off on
a hike with the signal company. Per-
mission for him to remain behind
could not be secured, but there is an
outside chance that he will be brought
into town by auto this afternoon, and
returned to his camp on the windward
side of the island after the game.
Captain Applin is figuring on this ar
rangement If Robinson is missing
from the lineup, Hixenbaugh will fill
in at short.
There will be considerable height
behind the plate today, and Captain
Stayton may have to commander a
step ladder to see the delivery. Lo-
cal fans are familiar with Kick, the
elongated soldier receiver, and Dent
of the Stanford team is built on some
what the same lines.
Babe Dent, as he is Familiarity
known, halls from Southern Califor-
mia, and is only a sophomore at col
lege. Although this is his first year
on the varsity, he has developed a
splendid throwing arm, and few play
ers are able to steal on him.

Young Jack Johnson. the local pu.

to cause favorable comment on his
ability as fighter, but he and his

from him, received by the sporting
editor this morning, is printed for just
what it is worth. If Johnson can sub
stantiate his charges, he can certain

circles. If he can not, then McFadden
has a strong come back" on him.
The communication from Johnson,
dated Lahaina, July 5, is as follows:
I'm behalf of my interest as a
fighter, and my friends in Honolulu
who wish to see justice given every
one in the prize ring, / wish you
would print in your valuable paper in
Honolulu the following account of my
fight with kama Opo at Wailuku on
the night of the Fourth of July:
"McFadden was the referee, and the
people here, even every man who was
betting on Opo and wanted to see him
win, say it was the rawest deal they
ever saw in prize ring. Opo did not

down for at least ten seconds, and the
referee turned his back and would not

he was knocked out, and began to
