10 the college boys.
The Oahu League had no difficulty
in finding a team TO import for an eX.
hibition series, for there were four
clubs clamoring TO come here. or
these the Keio University team, OF
Japan, Is the big drawing card, and
incidentally the high priced attraction.
and a definite proposition has been
made for q series OF nine games, coV-
ering q period Of three weeks, during
May. As Athletic Park will be I'M

sary to play the series at Moiliili, and
the league officials are somewhat I'm
