CHINESE-25TH
" INFANTRY Plan

Especial Star-BulTetin Correspondence1
sCHoFIELD BARRACKS. NOV. IT.
Sehofield Barracks fans are greatly
pleased that as a result of the peEptiav
tons OF Manager Sammy Hop OF the
ALT Chinese team, ther 25th INFANTRY.
team which won the post champion
ship is to make its reappearance on
the local diamonds. A series Of five
games has been arranged, three to be
played in town and two on the 25th'sa
diamond, the first game to be played
on Saturday afternoon probably on
the Athletic park grounds in H6nolu-
lu. The All-Chinese with their large
town following and the several hun
dred fans which will follow the post
champions to town, assure the man
agement of large gate receipts. The
games here are sure to draw immense
crowds and the stands on the cavalry
grounds are to be borrowed to supple
ment the limited amount of seats the
18th grounds have at present. 1t is
understood that charge will be asked
for the seats here but this will be
well within the means of the soldier
fans. Up to date the financial ar
rangements only include the opening
game the 25th management having
accepted a percentage giving 20 per
cent to the winner and 80 per cent to-
the loser with 500 guarantee to the
visiting team. Arrangements WITH be-
made for the other, games after the
result of the first game is announced.
The arrangements began with 81
tentative agreement for L company
of the 25th, the champion company
team Of that regiment, to play the
All-Chinese, but as the advance adj
vertt5iEg seemed to give the public
the Impression that the team would
be d representative regimental team,
and as the post and regimental fans
united in urging the appearance OF the
cid lineup, the regimental team has
been called from its retirement and
this is the team which will meet the
town players. Colonel kennon. whol
is particularly interested in the out,
come CT the series, has asked Lieuten-
ant Saunders to resume the team
management for the series and he
has consented. Practice will begin
today. and after their long rest and

should be very fit AS the series will
extend over five weeks, it is not I'M
likely that there will be several play
ers who have not figured before inI
the lineup Collins, who led the post
league in batting in the garrison
series, and who made a remarkably !
fine fielding record for his team, is
sick in the departmental hospital at
Fort Shafter and his services will not
be available for the opening game at
least. His place will doubtless be
taken oy Slaughter, who played in
one of the former games with the All
Chinese, and who has been playing a
brilliant game in the recent company
games here. Scott has been discharg- |
cd and unless he re-enlists before the
series closes, the team will be de-
priycd of his services. A start will be
made with the old lineup and prob
ably Jasper, who finished a splendid
seasons work and whom the All-Chi-
Eese have not yet faced. will be On
the mound for the opening game. VIII
lis. WaterhOuSe and perhaps Murcher-
son will take Il turn in the box in the
series.
No sporting announcement of ahv
garrison event has given such general
satisfaction as the news that these
twO big teams are to cross bats, and
the post fans can be relied on to sup
port the 25th team in a royal manner.
No announcement has been made
as to who will captain the soldier
team for the series, but the signs
