[From Thursday Advertiser.)
Loaded down with leis and tokens Of
Friendship and goodwill. with the Royal
Hawaiian Band blaring forth Aloha
and thousands Of Honolulans cheering,
the All-American and All.National
baseball teams departed in the Mntso.
mia for the mainland yesterday morn
ing,
that left Fair Hawaii for the wintery
winds and raging storms Of Podunk,
Me-, Hays, Pa, WoOnsocket, Mass, and
other -ay by. night bergs over on the
mainland and II the men and women
meant what they said, Honolulu will
long be remembered as the one spot

body was 4 good fellow.
And now that the end Of big league
baseball in Hawaii has come. the local
fans are assembling under the old avn
ing and local doings on the diamond

course the playing Of the big fellows aud
alan that Of the Venetian Tigers, what
little they did. also came in for a bit
OF the gossip
OF the two baseball propositions, the
Venetian Tigers were all the best, and,
had there been no court proceedings,
they would have had most successful
seabbn.
There Is no doubt about this
Whnto9evcf, for the Tigers were
great bunch Of mixers and
made friends by the score and these
friends were ready and willing to flock
TO the bali park lust 10 cheer the boys
on II nothing else. Fact Of the mat
tef.is, the Tigers were better box Of
fee proposition as far as they went
than we're the National and American
league stars.
rif Leaguers Did Well
AZ for the big leaguerers. they did
Cue, IN fact with all the good times
shown them by the Honolulu folks and
the neat little nest eggs received for
giving the fans bit Of the big league
stun, everybody said they were going
back to the old home in the best of
humor and wiling to tackle trip TO
Hawnii again IN the near future.
Getting the. pick of the Coasters and
American I.eaQuerers and then follow
ing this up with the pick Of the two
big leagues was no small undertaking
and with ininnetions, law suits and In.
tornal strife coming along. the WAYS of
the promoters were not all roses. Still
nothing, yantured, nothing is gained
and while PROSPECTS are not 50 bright
for big teams coming again, the pro
