CATCHES
FEATURE OF AN
indoor CONTEST

Wednesday Night in Kakaako hal
the Kakaako Senior indoor ball team
took the Kauluwela team into camp
by the score of % to s. The Kakaako
team is certainly one hard-hitting
bunch and during the seven frames
played touched up Sam Kahoe for "a
hits.
Tsuni was on the mound for Ka
kaako and held Kauluwela to seven
hits, but his wildness was responsible
for five of the eight runs scored. In
the second inning Sam Kahoe leaned
against one of Tsuni's fast ones and
it travelled like a shell, landing in
Sam Mua's kitchen and lifting Mr.
Sam up against the wall, but to the
delight of the Kakaako fans he clap.
ped his two hands over his bread
basket and surprising as it may seem
held the ball. -
The next sensational play occurred
when Tsuni, with two down in the
fifth, drove a hot liner at Kazum, the
same landing on Kazumi's nose and
Rosario caught the ball on the re.
UOuuu III LuC Till Ills play
with two down and men on, second
and third made a decided hit with
Kauluwela, but brought little joy to
Kazumi.
In the fourth John Kaua made a
great catch in left field of a line drive
from. Harry Sam Ku's bat that had
lots Of smoke to it.
Haru and Rosario led the hitting
for Kauluwela, while Jim Mahoney
led the Kakaako players with the will
low, getting five hits out of five times
up, and scoring four runs. Behind
the plate Souza caught a. fine game
lin fact the entire Kakaako team had
it all over Kauluwela in the fielding
line.
This is the second match game be-
tween these two teams and a third
and deciding game will be played in
the near future.

SHOWN TONIGHT

One of the most exciting moments
in the Harvard-Yale game last fall
was when Capt. Charlie Brickley, who
was just out of the hospital after an
operation for appendicitis, was sent
to his place in the back field. The

cheering wildly before, now broke
into pandemonium. The series of

are among the most interesting in
the whole so pictures of the game.
They show the masterful Harvard
strategy which resulted in a touch
down for the Crimson.
These pictures and the moving pic

ly good idea, of big college football
game, will be shown tonight in

GOOD YEAR FOR
BASEBALL, SAYS
JOHN K. TENER
President of National League
Thinks PessimistiC PrediC-
ions Out of Place

John X. Tener. president of the Ma
tiOnal League, thinks that 1915 will
be a good year for baseball. Here is
the text Of an interview he gave to
the Los Angeles Examiner in that
city recently:
The baseball season this year will
be far better than a great many peo-
pie think" said Mr. Tener. Il have
all the respect in the world for the
pessimistiC statements given out by
Ban Johnson when he was here.
will tell you the big trouble with Ban.
He was in baseball during the Span
ish-American war. That was the hard.
est period in history for baseball. Ban
remembers that and bases his 1915

that another and greater war is now
being fought | don't blame Ban for
his fears for the years of 1S9S-99 were
terrors in baseball
Baseball to Fold Interest
1T is my frank opinion that the in

ball this year. In time Of death in
our family we give up all amusements
We are stricken by the tragedy in our
home. In time this passes and we go
out and seek amusements to make us
forget This will be true also in re-
gard to the war. The present war is
great tragedy. We gave up our
amusements for a while and stood in
awe of the European catastrophe. But
this year the people will spend less
time standing on the streets arguing
war and will spend more time at the
ball parks. Even the interest in such
a war can drag when our nation is
not directly involved.
Times are better. Conditions in
the East we're very favorable when l
left. Throughout the entire National
League circuit there was cheerful ex-
pectations for 1915. The clubs are all
stronger. The race should be fine.
The great finish of the Boston Braves
last year was the finest thing that
ever happened for baseball. The peo-7

San Francisco club is very strong,
one Of the best minor league teams l
