Wrecking Crew Captain Has
Turn When Sch0field Team
Meets AII-Seryice Crew

Will some. team please defeat the
25th Infantry team before the ALI
Americans arrive here. They have
won two games already this week,
scoring victories over South and Sadt-
Ter, and they are coming to Honolulu
on Sunday to do battle with the ALI
Service team. Mr.. Brush, please stop
them.
Waterhouse ana Jasper pitched the
last two games against the Ruger and
'32d Infantry, and it is just about Ro-
gan's turn to work, unless Aulston is
sent in. If Rogan pitches the Wreck
ers should be slight favorite with a
heavy accent on the slight If Amama
works he ought to be able>to get the
ball over for the Wreckers. as this
team isn't one of the watchful waiting
kind
Try Again
Altogether the two teams have play
ed good ball with the exception OF the
last game, which the Brushers perpe-
trated, and this will soon be forgot
ten if the Service team can hold the
Wreckers to few runs. There are a
bunch of good players on the Service
squad, and with more practise should
work into a winning squad. The fans
will forget the recent nightmare if
the team can show something against
the 18th Infantry on Sunday, AMI It
viii be up to the team to make good.
Chinese VS.. Nippons
In the first contest of the day the
Nippons and Chinese will clash, and
these two teams have long been rivals.
Both have fast fielding. teams, and on
the defensive rank up well with the
older teams which will play the sec
ond game. There are several players
on these two teams who could make
good on an tall-star team, and fast
fielding is looked for.
Kuraski, WHO will play left field for
the Nippons, is one of the best play
ers in the city, while Kong, at third
base, is another star who has helped
make the Chinese team. Then there
are fast fielders such as Murashige,
Yamaguchi, Komeya and Tsukiyama
on the Nippons, and Lai, zee, Tan Lo,
Fun Luke and others on the Chinese.
The first game will begin at 1880
sharp, and both teams will be on the
tield ready to play at that time
