Baseball will have its days during
the Carnival and the Olympics will
meet number Of fast aggregations.
The first event will be held this aft
ernoon, when the OlyAnpics clash with
the Honolulus. Baseball will also be
wedged in on the program on Wash
ington's Birthday. Although the swim
ming committee has only asked for
enc afternoon to stage the world
championship events, the baseball
magnates hayei scheduled game Of
baseball on this date.
w. T. Rawlins has announced that
the swimming meet, which is of ma
tion-wide Importance. will be run off
according to schedule, and all the
events will be concluded, despite the
fact that a game of baseball has been
booked for Athletic park later in the
day. To those who have the love of
the sport at heart, the scheduling of
baseball game on the day of the
big race meet for the championship
Of the world doesn't appeal to the
fans. OF course there are many who
perhaps care more for baseball than
swimming. but the swimming events
bring together men Of world promin-
ence, and all the support possible
should be given those in charge of the
events.
Going upl
The baseball committee for few
days neglected to advertise the 81
seats for the games. Then in the
last contest the fans were asked to
pay 81 for seats in the front of the
grandstand. This is altogether too
much. II was thought that the price
of admission would be lowered, but
this was not done, only in the press
notices did the 81 seats fail to appear.
When one can see a world champion
ship race between Duke Kahanamoku
and Ludy LANCER for 81, including a
number of other events of interest,
then 1t is no wonder that howl has
vbeen made by the fans that 81 was
too much to pay to see semi-pros in
action. The fact that according to
those on the inside the expenses
have already been made does not
mean much for the consideration of
the fans. The baseball magnates are
in no danger Of bankruptcy at present
and when the fans journey out to the
baseball park this afternoon to see the
game, they will be asked to hand
over 81 for front seat to watch two
teams play the national game. Won.
der how many Of those 81 seats will
be taken this afternoon?
Martin q Star.
The Olymp;cs have played good ball
since their arrival and Martin is a
really good pitcher, who should make
the Oakland squad this year. The
other players are good ball players,
fully up to the standard of the home
town teams, and the fans have liked
the games, turning out in force to
reoi for the home team.
