IF PUNS WIN
TODAY THEY
COP PENNANT

Only two more weeks Of Oahu league
baseball Games are scheduled fer
this afternoon and tomorrow. and
there is Gouble-header on the cards
for Sunday, the 18th. This clears up
the sntire schedule, which would have
been finished last week. but for post
poned games due to bad weather.
The closing Of the Oahu league sea-
son will be regarded by the fans with
equanimity. A seven-team league has
proved a failure from the standpoint
of public interest The games have
not drawn over we'll and there have
not been enough players to keep 80
many teams filed with acceptable
material. II It hadn't been for soldier
players and soldier fans, the league
would have gone on the rocks months
ago.
If the Punahous defeat the Saints
this afternoon. the pennant will be
cinched by the Castle aggregation, and
1t would be a popular move to aban-
don next weeks games. The fans are
,whetting their appetites for the Yeri-
Ice series next month and for the big
league aggregation that follows, and
with the face for the flag decided. the
Oahu league has little or no interest.
OF course IL the Puns lose. the Portn-
guests have chance to tie for first
place by winning their two remaining
games
Tomorrow the Chinese and Asahis
open, and the Portuguese and Coast
Defense meet in the second game.
