ball SEASON
Opens ON MAUI

The Maui Weekly Times says:
Baseball was crowned king again
on last Sunday, when the first
league game Of the season was play
ed on the Wailuku diamond at 2:30
p. m. between the Stars and Kahu-
lui At 8 o'clock the better part Of
Wailuku was at the game, and the
cheers that rent the air from time
to time were heard all over town
and plainly indicated that an I'M
usually exciting game was in pro-
gress.
1t was quite a fine day, though It
might have been better, strong
winds still prevailing. They did not
interfere with the game to any extent,
however, nor with the joy and pleas
.ure of the many lovers of the ma
tional game present, who again felt
the old thrill of enthusiasm and ex-
citement.
It was an II inning game, and 1t
looked at first as il the Stars were
going to walk off with it. They
made runs in the first inning, but
during the remainder of the game
only one man reached first. When
the Kahului boys made runs in the
third inning the excitement rose to
fever heat. But neither side scored
again unail the 18th inning, when the
Kahului's made / run, thus winning
the first game of the season.

the car is total loss. One OF the
drivers in town, who is said to have

the Maui Soda and Ice Work the driv-

took down three ironwood trees, as
clean off as if they had been sawed
off, and then dashed into the heavy
telephone pole. This stopped the car
violently, tore off one fender and
lamp, ripped off the wheel and so
wrenched the whole car out of shape

JOHNNY EVERSFEELINGTH THE
STRAINOF Being A MANAGER

the excitement and worry attendant
upon getting the squad to working
right on the southern drill grounds
have caused it, but this is hardly like
ly, as the men have shown an unusual
willingness to work their heads off,
and EVers has nothing to do but di-
rect the training, and for the most
part the athletes have done the diff
ferent things of their own accord.
Not Brilliant Start
When Eyers took the job last fall,
immediately after Chance and Murphy
had opened their war, there was a
lot of guesswork as to whether he
would be able to stand the strain of a
season at the head of club that
would most likely be in the thick of
a nerve-rackfng pennant fight. Opin-
ions varied, but the mapjority were
free to admit that the Trojan would
break down before he had gone half
way through the campaign 1t is a
cinch that John is not making a very
good start, but he may fool us all
by bracing up and weathering the
storm once he becomes accustomed
to the duties. he has assumed.
OF course, no one is going to wish
any bad luck on the little fellow. Chi.
eago fans are undoubtedly ranked
over the Chance episode, but the acts
of Murphy should not be charged up
against his manag ger EYers has al
ways done his hest for the Chicago
club, and has always encountered sue

Job it will be the biggest disappoint

Be able to do in the shoes of Chance
is a question, but the success of his
battle is going to depend a great deal
on whether or not he curbs himself
when he encounters stern league um
pires. .... 49,. ~
Some have said that Murphy's anx
fety to get Bresnahan for the Cubs
was because he began to doubt
whether Evers could stand the gafI
without a nervous breakdown. MOI
that he figured on putting the former
Cardinal manager at the head of the
Cubs, but to place him in charge
when Evers is indisposed, If suct
should happen to be the case. Bres
nahan. of course, is the ideal man tt

To win the hurdle and jump was

Don't imagine that managing a big
league ball club is an easy task, says
Irving Vaughan of the Chicago Rec
ord, writing just before the season
opened. Likewise don't think that
John Eyers' initial flier into the ranks
of pilots is a "joy ride" for the little
second sacker II is anything but that
and to know that the Cub leader is
already worrying over his job one
need only to take good look at him
and note the change that has come
over him since the Cubs went into
training.
Eyers has actually aged. The lines
IN his face have deepened and it is
evident that he is finding the burden
of big league ball club little more
than he reckoned with before he took
the job vacated by the former
leader. Not only has the ball
club itself been a nightmare to the
Trojan for the last two weeks, but he
is bothered by the fact that he is be.
ing panned more or less by scribes
who are peeyed by Murphy's oustine
of Chance, and who are venting their
feelings on the successor of the big
Californian.
Affects His Mind
All this works on the mind of Evers
who even as a player was high-st:uns
and sensitive With the added respen
sibilities he is irritable, nervous aid
lacking in patience He has shown
this by his actions on the field when
players would not obey his commands
as quickly as he wished. Not thai
Evers wishes to be a stricter dlscip
linarian than his predecessor, hut ma
ture did not enGow him with the dis
position of q natural leader. hence his
tendency to "crab" on the slfghtesI
pretense.
That the Evers of toGay IS s
