the construction proposed by the

EVA AND AIEA TO
STAGE THRILLING
GAME TOMORROW

Followers of the Plantation League
will have an opportunity to witness q
championship game this Sunday at
Eva. Owing to the fact that the Aiea
boys had to drill last Sunday, the
game was postponed until tomorrow.
The contenders for the championship
are the Eva and Aiea teams.
Both teams have been putting in
extra time for practise this week,
plugging the weak spots in order to
be ready for the real contest. Il
Eva has been winning champion
ship games for the last five years or
more and viii endeavor to hold her
own against her opponents. Aiea is
also confident of victory, and it is. up
to her nine to cinch the pennant and
keep up the good reputation Of the
plantation. ~
Everything is in readiness for this
game, and with the Eva band playing
popular pieces at intervals, the contest
should be real thriller. The band
boys will try to blow the Aiea boys
back to their districts with the pop
ular air, Its a Long Way to Aiea."
Much interest has been shown this
year in the Plantation League. Sew
eral stars have been unearthed, and
with little more seasoning, the boys
from the paLtation will be real play
ers. The game is scheduled for ]
o'clock. - . - ~

AGRlC TURAL AREAS
ABANDONED BY HUNS
TITLED BY BRITISH

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE.-A special department at
tached to British headquarters has
been created for the purpose OF super
intending agricultural operations in
the areas evacuated by the Germans.
Work in the fields by soldiers is
largely voluntary. As details Of sol
diers leave the trenches for the rear,
they are invited to spend their leisure
in agricultural, work, which, in tho
spring air and sun Of France, is one
Of the pleasantest recreations imagin-
able. Soldiers who have once lived
on q farm or have done farm work
back home" generally jump at the
opportunity, and it is surprising how
many city men are eager to take up
work in the fields, even preferring 1t
to sports such as football and field
athletics. .e 2.
The soldier.farmers are well proyid-
ed with horses, usually artillery or
transport horses from the reserves.
The British agricultural military staff
has gone so far as to secure its sol
dier.farmers cultivators and machin-
cry Of British models which are. IA
miliar to them. The army will culti-
vate something over 10000 acres this
year in the liberated Somme area
alone.

HAWAII-HEALANIS
GAME PROMISES
sNAPPY CONTEST

Chances for a double-header tomor-
row afternoon at Moiliili are not
bright. The Hawaiis and the Healanis
of the Pacific league will meet In the
first game Of the day, but the second
game is doubtful Whether Manager
William E. Miles will stage two Pa
cific league games remains to be seen.
The Healanis will have string OF
pitchers to use In Kuehn, Hollinger,
McTighe, Bushnell and one other.
John Black is expected to pitch for
the Hawaiis and with Mitchell In the
reserve, a battle between the two lead
ing teams is certain to attract much
interest. John Black was the star
twirler whilst in Maui and is also at
tracing much attention in Honolulu
with his wonderful underhand deliv-
cry. Manager Kalua says that with
John Black on the mound and his
infield working in perfect order, the
chance for the pennant will be IN
obstructed.

TEAMS IN FINAL
GAME TOMORROW
Johnny Williams and Sam Ku
to Be Pitted Against Each
Other on Mound

The Sehuman and Reach teams will
stage their final game tomorrow morn
ing at Athletic park at 8 o'clock. The
Schumans are quite certain Of the vic
tory and If victory is theirs 1t will be
the result of triple tie with the
Coombs and Mutual Telephones.
Horns, bells and other roofing para
phernalia win help to cheer the auto
mobile boys on to victory. AZ
Johnny Williams is the logical pick
of the Schumans for mound work,
while Harry Sam Ku will be the favor
tie for the Reach squad. Johnny has
pitched some wonderful games in the
Commercial league this year and In
combination with this has hit the pill
at the clip of 800. At present, the
ex-Detroit twirler is slamming the
ball at the pace of .526 and II he gets
three hits out Of four trips up this
Sunday, his chances for the cup VIII
indeed be bright. His nearest com.
petitors for batting honors are George
Haneberg, second basenian of the
Star-Bulletin team and Pat o'Sullivan
of the Electrics. ~
Harry Sam Ku will oppose the
mighty Williams. He is quite small
compared to Johnny in size and stuff
but Harry Is not letting these things
worry him. = =. r - 49,

have a big task to perform in defeat
