Have Better Swatting Percentage
Than Team They Are to
hNfI
Meet Next Sunday.

Baseball fans are rejoicing that plans
have been completed for Stanford 70
remain here another week and that they
are to again cavort on the diamond, All
told, three games have been scheduled,
but most of the interest in conferred in
the one to be played on Sunday next.
On that day at Athletic Park, the main
landers are to meet the winners of the
first half of the 1913 season of the
Oahu League, the Portuguese Athletic
Club.
While il has not been definitely set
tied, il is almost a certainty that Tony
Medeiros will do the pitching for Por'
tugu,se team, while Hahn will natural.
ly be the selection for Stanford. This
will bring one of the best southpaws
in the game against one of the best
righthanders in the game. Behind the
two men will be hitters of no mean
ability, for it has been the hitting ui
the two clubs that has won games fol
them.
stanfords Make Best Showing.
Figuring the form of the two teams
there is little 10 chose between the
two. Form of course does not count in
baseball, for if it did there would bC
no ball games. Merely for the sake OF
comparison, the batting records of tn,
two teams have been compiled and tn,
Stanfords are by far the better hitters
In six games Stanford went to bat
PA times, made forty runs and fifty
eight basehits, giving them a batting
percentage of .27S. The Portuguese Ath
letic Club played seven games this sea
son, went to bat 23l times, made forty
eight runs and ffty.seven hits, giving
them batting average Of .247.
Two OF Stantords games We're against
Lawson, who has also pitched against
the Portuguese team and two wer,
against Joy who has also pitched
against the Portuguese team.
One thing which will be against tn,
Stanford boys in Sundays game from
fielding point of view will be tn,

to playing deep and on big ball parks
That rightfeld fence might helI
them from a hitting point of view
though, for many of them hit into right

Both Teams Strong.
Individually there is little in favol
of one team or the other. Dent is {
better catcher than La Mere, but tn,
latter is a harder hitter. Workman il
a grand first baseman and so is Flizer
Cass is a better second baseman thar
Zamiska, but not enough to notice Ter
ry excels Bushnell at shortstop both il
hitting and fielding. Souza is bette
third baseman than McCloskey by far
With Maple in left and Argabrite il

While forecasting results on baseball
games is risky business, it looks as i
the fans are in for great exhibition
of the national pastime ON Sunday.
Besides the Sunday game, Stanton,
is to play the St Louis Alumni team OF
Saturday at Moiliili Field beginning a
three-thirty o'clock and on Monday a
the same place, they are to play tn
Pnnahol Athletic Club beginning a
the same hour
Al Castle is slated to pitch the Mon
day game, with Charles Bishop Lyman
catching, and if Castle appears, tn
contest should be better than the pre-
vious games between the two teams.
