Southern California 8 sunny cline until
along in February. Then he has hopes
Of sailing for Honolulu.
No definite arrangements have been
made for the invasion of the Giants,
should they come here, but u Is barely
possible the Twenty.6fth Infantry will
enter into some sort of an agreement
whereby the Giants can play a series Of
games here. .....'" .....

hood Of $2100. II has been suggested
that the members of the regiment each
subscribe a certain sum, making II pos
sible to finance the trip. There is no
question but that the proposition would
be a success, for IL Is certain ninety per

fifth believes the proposition a worthy
one. He will hold a conference with
the man who is looking after Foster 8
interests here, and IL is possible deal
will he made for the Giants TO play
here late in March and early in April,
Bringing them here before that is out
of the question, particularly during
February and possibly the first week in
March. Everything Is about settled
now for the 0lympies to play here in
February, and it-would be foolhardy to
have any conflicting dates at that time.
With the announcement that Artie
Null of the Olympic Club had in
structcd Bart b. Burke; the newly
elected baseball commissioner Of the
club, to go ahead and complete his ar,
rangements for the Honolulu trip of the
ball team, the local fans began to show
a lively interest in the team. There are
several members of the Olympic Club
in Honolulu ut all times, two of the
shining lights being Eddie Nell and
Heinie Raphael of the Clarion, and both
will appoint themselves committeeman
to see to it that the boys have a great
time. 1t is to be n sort of reunion for
RapheaL for in the days of his boyhood
he used to be emi.professional of
some class on the Coast, aud he knows
every budding light Of the diamond
there. .. 81.
"GIad TO see that the OIympics are
coming" beamed Heinie yesterday,
for the baseball fans, myself included,
will witness some fast baseball Bart
B. Burke is a sterling baseball man and
he will bring great combination to
Honolulu, sincerely hope Artie Ben
ham Is in the lineup, for he is one of
the best little pitchers in the semi-pro-
fessional ranks today. Dutch Schaem-
mel is another good pitcher, while Dan
Nippon, Flash Kennedy, Harrington,
Eddie Mcmillan and the rest of the
boys make up a fast aggregation.
~ also hope Otto Walfisch is in the
party. He is a great all-round athlete
and would be only too glad to meet any
of the local wrestlers In n bout.
Anyway the coming of the team is
the thing and the fans are going to see
some. fast baseball next February"
