Bee; Ready for Work

Olympic Club baseball players. who
are located at Heinie's, were out thi:
morning looking for patch of grOunC
to practise on. They watched the elec
trical storm of last evening and won
dered whether the small plot o.
ground that was dry could be fOunC
this morning The players are anx
ious to get in condition for the series
which will begin on Saturday.
Last evening the members of the
team and many of their friends, in
Guiding Ed Nell and Ray OBrien, hello
a reunion at Heinie's, and the tall
was baseball in every sense of the
word You remember when you had
two on you and the big boy feeds you
a straight one, Ed, and you broke vi
the game" And Ed Nell remember
ed. Then they all cited incidents OF
their road trips in the bush towns, and
told of the many experiences with um
pires, second story men and other or
ganiZed authorities.
Want Line On Locals.
The Olympic boys were anxious tC
know how strong a squad the Chinese
had, as they will meet them in the
opening game. They are not under
estimating the strength of the local
teams, and expect to have many a
hard battle before they return to the
mainland. The boys look in good con
dition and are ready for the fray.
Most of the players are graduates
of Santa Clara, st. Marys, Sacred
Heart and other schools around the
Bay, and the boys have become popu-
lar among the fans already. A large
crowd gathered around as the boys
famed last evening, and later on the
members of the team gave an i'm
promptu high jinks" for the local
friends. .....
Graceful SpeciaTties.
Otto Wallfisch, who has a baritone
voice of much tone, entertained with a
number of specialties. His forte is
dancing, and the boys were treated to
an exhibition that was worthy of a
professional. Bart Burke recited a
new sketch entitled You've Got a
Good Face" and one of the members
of the local crowd gave an exhibition
called Twilight" which was notice
able for its grace. ~.
In addition to being good ball play
ers the boys are clever entertainers,
and it is expected that another one
of their high jinks" will be given in
the near future. The boys state that
they are comfortably located at their
beach quarters, and expect to take adj
vantage of the bathing around
Heinie's every day.
Chinese Come First. ....
In the meantime the Chinese play
ers are doing their best to get some
practise before the opener on Satur-
day. The recent rain has caused the
players to shift practise, and it is
doubtful whether or not the teams
will be able to use Athletic park for
the opening games. In case that field
is in poor condition the games Will
be transferred to Moiliili field.
The prices for the games still re-
mains at 81 and IS cents, with large
number of good seats at so cents. In
asmuch as the weather man has not
been acting with the ball magnates
lately it would have been good idea
to shade the admission charge some,
as the fans will surely welcome the
move, and a much larger crowd will
attend. 1t will be giving the
fans a good, fair show to watch the
games and at the same time the man
agement will not be the loser on the
