LEAVE TODAY ON
STEAMER SIERRA

Santa Clara university baseball
team will leave for the mainland this
afternoon on the Sierra after one
months visit in the islands. During
their visit they have played both good
and had baseball, but their showing of
late has been much improved, and in
their last three games exhibited some
of, the baseball that is put out at
Santa Clara. -....
On The eve OF their departure the
boys have only good words to say for
Honolulu and the people, but of course
they would naturally be peeved at the
thought of falling before the 25th
Infantry and Chinese. The team has
changed somewhat from the first
showing made, and the boys have be-
come more popular with the fans.
They all love winpar.
" "Pinkie" Leonard. the heady little
pitcher, on the: eve of his departure is
still somewhat aggrieved because he
did not secure a hit on a drive to
Moriyama, which goes to show the
spirit of going after things. 1t was un-
fortunate that this pitcher hit the ball
hard every time, and some fielder
raced over and nailed it or bobbed it
by an error. The official scorer re-
grets very much that the curve ball
artist did not hit up to his old-time
form.
You have some mighty good ball
teams down here" said one OF the
boys today. Il believe that an all
star team from Honolulu would cause
considerable mixup on the coast. Kelly
believes that the Santa Clara team
could win at home and Of course we
all agree with Kelly. The boys have
only the kindest regards for the Homo
lulu people who have made our stay
here enjoyable, he concluded.
Monday afternoon the boys were
taken around the island as guests Of
Chaplain Fealy of the 1st Field Artil-
lery, and in the afternoon met and de-
feated TIE artillery team at, Schofield
by score Of, s to 3 Bliss was in his
best form and held the soldiers to

IN 18TH GAME
Crurnpler Fans Seven Wreck.
ing CreW-Schofield Crowd
Wins by Big Score

The best ball club. which has
visited here this year" This was the
expression used by the 18th Infantry
ball players after the game of Satpr-
day, in which they defeated the 91st
Company team by score of 13 to i
at Schofield. Warehouse pitched for
the, 25th club and was hit. safely 10
times by the Fort Kamehameha
squad. Crumpler allowed IL hits.
1t was expected that the 25th would
win out against the strong squad from
Kamehameha, but Crumpler proved
that he was a clever twirler by fan
ming seven of the wrecking crew. The
Coasters also hit well, and Andruss,
Crumpler and Dumshot collected two
hits each off Warehouse. Ware, Ro-
gan, Grafton and Smith were the
heavy hitters for the 25th. .-....s.
. Inasmuch as the strength of the
25th Infantry is 1900 men, while the
91st Company's is only one-twentietn
of that number, the team from the
artillery made good showing. The
addition of McGayin has strengthened
the team, and with Kelley and Crunp
Ter working in excellent shape Capt
Andruss has made a good showing
with the squad. The result of the
game at Schofield was as follows:
