A writer Of fiction or real-dyed-in.
the.wool press agent might weave a
strange story calling yesterdays az
fair at Athletic Park baseball game,
but the aforementioned literary men
would nave mighty hard time con.
vincing the handful who gathered at
the park yesterday afternoon that they
were witnessing real ball game.
Even men closely identified with
the project of bringing the Olympic
club team here held up their hands
and stated that as a good ball game
Il was a fine comedy or farce, with
the accent pronerly construed. The
result of yesterdays affair was vic
tory for the Olympic team by a score
of 3 to 4. ...~. -"
Poor Pitching.
Schammel was on the mound for the
visitors and he was opposed, pardon
the term, by Tony Medeiros. Neither
one of the pitchers had anything more
than glove and a prayer, but Scham-
mel won out, not because he was the
star, but because the Honolulus failed
to play the grand old game in any
shape. Had the Chinese, Punahous
or Saints opposed Schammel yester-
day, binglets galore would have hied
themselves out in the jungles. ~
AS 1t was Bart Burke had Howedge
out on the sidelines several times
ready TO send his crooked slants at
the opposing batsmen. ."..E
Fan Lost Out. ..... ->..e

players. They tried to give the afore-
mentioned fan run for his money,
but, alas, after he had gathered about
Is cents worth of baseball up to the
seventh inning he removed himself
from the park, and others who paid
25 cents for real good bleacher seats
followed his example. ..s.. j. .-.
"Blondy" Williams is looking for
position as q baseball pitcher with
some good team. "Bl0ndy" doesn't
care about the wage SO much, but he
wants an opportunity to go out on the
mound and heave them over the rub
Der. Yesterday afternoon he was all
ready to stop the visitors when Pa.
resa stated that he would start Me-
dieros. "Blondys Immediately donned

Chauncey Hits Homer. r. -. -.
Medeiros went all right for min.
ute, and then McGrath started the do
ings with triple, and after that the
hits came in gobs and punches, and
Chauncey Traumatola slammed one
over the wall for a homer.
Riordan, Barker and Bonn hit bin
giles OF Medeiros, and when Bushnell
went into the fray the visitors again
slammed more hits of him. The
Olympics fielded and batted like big
leaguers-that is, If you want to read
fiction, but all they had TO hit was
few straight ones, and the crowd did
not go wild over the fielding stunts.
The Olympic players have played
much better ball than they did yes
terday afternoon. .,>-r@ -
Gallagher was the batting star for
The Hoaolulus, landing a homer and
double in three times up. Carroll,
Fernandez and Dumshot also gathered
hits. Dumshot was the only player
on the field yesterday who starred in
the fielding game He had two diff
cult chances which he handled In fine
shape. All other players we're on the
soft side of the plays. - g..
