Ball Team Stopping Over En-
b Route To Mainland

Senator Alfred l.. Castle has word
from Manager. Pat Page Of the Uni.
vcrsity of Chicago, and the crack
Windy City baseball aggregation will
not Engcr in Honolulu on their way
home for series of games. Pat and
his charges are due back in Chicago by
January l, and as they leave Japan in
the Tenyo Maru, passing through here
December 90, the time is too short for
Chicago to give the fans another series
of high class ball, all of which natur.
ally is to be regretted by the fans.
According to Pat, the boys are well
and having the time of their young
lives, everybody in Japan vieing with
the other to make the visit of the
Americans a memorable one.
The team has been more than sue.
ccssful on the diamond, and up to Oc-
tober II had beaten Waseda four
straight games, three of which were
shut outs, and Keio in three games.
Following were the scores: Chicago 5,
Wascda 3; Chicago 2, Wasedo O; Chi
cago 1, Waseda o; Chicago s, Wasedo
0; Chicago 4, Keio /; Chicago 6, Keio
l; Chicago 3, Keio 0.
Following the Japan invasion the
team is to play series in China and
Manila. <
Back Next Tuesday
william Lai Tin and his Travellers
are yet to return to Honolulu. Every.
thing was fixed for the ball players to
leave San Francisco in the Manoa
which arrived Tuesday, but the lure of
the big Exposition at San Francisco
was too strong for the boys, and they
concluded to postpone their sailing day
until the following steamer, the Mat
sonia and, according TO Jimmy Aylett,
all hands, with the exception of Denny
Markham, will be in the big boat whei
she pulls up at the dock next Tues
day. Denny is going to remain in
Phi ldelphia, according to reports, and
work on week days and catch for one
Of the semi-professional teams there on
Sundays. s@.N~stS % .... .s
In the meantime the Oahu Leaguers
are waiting for the weather-raan to de-
clare a truce and give them chance
to get out and practise for next Sun
days double header Mt the ball yard,
the AlI-Army and Chinese clashing in
the opening contest and the Twenty
fifth and Saints meeting in the second
contest. 70
viii Help the Game
With the return Of the Travellers the
game here should become much more
interesting. If the team remains to-
gcther and plays ball against the Oahu
Leaguers and the Twenty fifth, or if
the team disbands, and the men are
scattered amongst the several teams
baseball will be benefited. What might
be a gOod idea would be for the Oahu
League teams and the Travellers to
play a series of games under the same
management and conditions as the pres
ont series are being played. Then the
winner of that series could meet the
winner of the present series; such a
series would be well worth witnessing.
BY that time the Carnival Week
would about be with u.s.. and it is pos
sible a mainland team will be here,
which means the local boys would be
in good shape to give an outside team,
provided it was not too strong, a rub
on the diamond.
SO far no additional word has been
had from Frank Bancroft as to what
his plans are, nor has RUDE Foster Of
the American Giants sent any word as
to what he is going to do,
Therefore the fans will have to lean
on the local teams for baseball, and it
is just as well, for the homesters are
dOing their best now and giving the
fans good article of baseball.
