SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Aug. 90
Last Saturday when the 1st Field
Artillery and 25th Infantry met on the
diamond, the fans who have been turn,
ing out for game after game of the
Post league. showed. particular inter
est in the initial appearance OF the
bail players who arrived with the
first battalion of the artillery on the
last transport.
The Artillery team showed four new
faces in the preliminary practice, Bo-
linski and Miller, at third and short,
and the new battery Stoll and Get.

tention of the garrison fans, and ellie.
ited much favorable comment.
Criticism of the playing of the new
men, who are SO recently of the trans
port, and who were playing IN strange
company, is hardly fair, and. while
reserving final report on their several
abilities, there is much in their work
Saturday that is praiseworthy under
any conditions. On first impressions,
Stoll, who was on the mound for the
wagon soldiers, seems to be the
strongest addition to the team Strong
est, because he fills the one position
which most needs an occupant. This
Is no reflection on the faithful work
OF Grey, who has done the greater
portion of the twirling for his team,
but Grey's best work can be done
elsewhere in the diamond, and he is
undoubtedly the best utility man in
the post. While the players of both
teams at the beginning were noticea-
bly, nervous, the one exception was
Sloll, who faced the big leaders with
the assurance and GOODNESS of a gen-
uine veteran, as he will undoubtedly
prove himself to be. He opened bad

ball pitched, but recovered himself,
and disposed of the entire batting or

him for pretty single to left.

accustom himself to his new surround

some fine work.

DUNCA.N'.MA'YT turn
PRO. TO MEET
RICHARDS

/ L. & =
It looks as though Honolulu sport
ing men wound have an opportunity tc
see Frank Duncan, t;lc 135-pound ma
tional amateur wrestling champion, In
action, after all. Husky" Richards
the Fort Ruger graFpler. is keen for
match. and although Duncan may
have to turn professional TO 60 to the
mat in public, in a regular exhibition
he. is willing 20, do this If there is
enough money in sight to make i;
worth while If these iwp do get tc-
eether, it should prove the best thing
in the wrestling line thai Honolulu
has seen for some time.
Duncan's first proposition to Rich,
ards, when the latter challenged
through the sport colurans ofiflle Star.
Bulletin, was to wrestle IN private at
GONE club Of gymnasium. The coast
grappler said he had no objection 10
putting up a substantial side bet.
but that he didn't want to go on the
boards as a regular carried attraction,
unless there was a chance to clean no
good round sum in exchange for his
amateur standing.
Richards comes back with Thu, state
ment that he wants 10 wrestle in pub
lie, where all his friends can be ON
hand to see him In action, and now
Duncan says that If there IS enough
interest in the game to permit of a
fair-sized purse, he will turn pro and
wrestle the soldier on a winner-take-
all basis. .
The following communication, from
one of Richards hackers, shows that
the soldier does not hold himself
cheaply as a mat artist, and that he
WIN likely have a big backing if he
meets the Seattle lad.
Husky Richards is no back yard
man and If this man Duncan thinks
so, he viii have to talk louder Rich
ards wants to give the fans Of Homo
lulu a. run for their money. and to
let the general public see which is the
better man. Richards will appear at
any time or place, but it will have to
be in public. Now if Duncan wants
this match, all he has to do is to say
so. Richards isn't anxious to appear
at show, but would rather do that
than go to some club. where there are
only ten or twenty persons to look on.
If Duncan is really anxious for a
match, he can arrange it without
much trouble, for as he claims the
lS5-pound championship, he should be
an attraction that any promoter would
be glad to handle, especially going
against good man like Richards.
Husky Richards is well known in
these islands. He is now in training
and has been in the best of shape
since he heard of Duncan's wish to
meet some of the local grapplers.
Richards will continue to train at the
Fort Kruger gymnasium until this
match is either over with, or has fall
en- through. He is working with one
of the best welterweights on the ISL
