OAHU Service and PacifiCs Will
Hold Meetings This After
noon and Evening

There will be two baseball meet
ings today to discuss the local situa-
ton. This afternoon at o'clock the
members of the Oahu-ServiCe and
Honolulu Leagues will meet at the
Star-Bulletin office to discuss the
alignment of teams. The committee
which met last week Will report back
to the league. The Pacific League
will meet at the 7. NJ. G. A. at I
o'clock to draft a new schedule.
The Honolulu League teams have
asked 10 be admitted into the Oahu
Service League, and the committee
suggested that a 6-team league be or
ganized to play at Moiliili field and
Athletic park. 1t was also suggested
that seven teams enter a series, and
six teams be selected from this nuTI
Der, the weakest team being dropped,
or amalgamated with another club.
Six Teams Ready
As Il stands now there are four
strong teams in the OahuService
League, and one fast team in the
Honolulu League. Given a little
strength the Japanese team would al
so measure up with the others, and
this would make a 6-club league. The
25th Infantry and 32nd Infantry teams

OF Team Wins
FROM ATKINSON
BASEBALL CLUB

A large number Of Mrs. Waldron't
boys journeyed down to the Oahu
prison last Saturday afternoon an6
crossed bats with the o. P. team. They
lost. but they played a fine uphill
game all the way and made the o. p
players extend themselves all the
time. S. W. Robley had charge OF
the boys and played for them. lis
says that next Saturday he Is COINS
back and even things up.
The final score was IA to s in faVoI
OF the o. P, but at that, the o. p
team got but one more hit that TIE
Atkinson Park boys and had theIe
been less errors and better fieIdins
on the part ofBthe Kakaako bunch, -
different story may have been told.
Santos behind the bat and Kane &C
short played an excellent game aie
surprised everyone by their specs
Olivera at first led the AtkinSon
Park boys at bat and In this respeci
divided honors with Neyes, the right
fielder Of the o. P's.
Apau and Roberto did the hurifns
for the o. P.'s, while RobIey decor
ated the mound for e. the Kakaake
squad. Fifteen hits were garnereG
from Robley's delivery while Apau
and Roberto were touched I'D for II
Nine Of the Robleys hopefuls struck
out and II of the O. P.'s missed the
| third one, while. four Of the last
named walked and six of the former
were given free passes.
s. W. Robley said today: About
| three regular ball players would give
the Atkinson team a chance to more
than break even, but they will have t.
can couple of fish before they can
get anywhere with their ball team"
After the ball game the Chinese
team from the Oriental association as
sayed to play the o. p ,volley ball
team and they were defeated, which
IS nice kind way to put it, in three
straight sets, but they got lot OF ex.
| perience.

Baseball Leagues Will Meet
To Discuss Plans For Series

will be ready for play in a few weeks
and with the prospects OF a MAINLAND
team coming here, the various teams
would be ready for play.
Eddie Nell is anxious TO hear from
the Oahu-Service League managers
as to what time they would want the
mainlanders to come here, and this
will perhaps be discussed THIS eve
ming at the meeting. II Is known
that there are a number OF good bau
players on the coast at present, ana
it is possible that the mainlanders
will come here within few weeks.
Wants Report
In his last letter Nell said that
he would return to San Francisco in
the very near future, and would like
to have a definite report to make to
the baseball men there. 1t is thought
that the necessary expenses could be
raised for bringing the team here.
The Pacific League will start the
second series with a stronger organl-
zation than at the beginning Of the
first serieSI and a hot race is expected
for honors. The St. Louis team is
certain to have a hard time keeping
in the front rank with the talent
which has been gathered in the vari-
Gus organizations.
The league will frame the schedule
for the second series at the meeting
this evening. Arrangements will also
be made for a big campaign for Sat
urday baseball.

AYAU MAY PLAY
WITH Billings

Billings, Montana, will take over the
Tacoma franchise OF the Northwest.
ern League, and Great Falls, Montana,
Butte and Spokane will continue as
four club league. Vernon Ayau is
now with Tacoma and may go to Bill
lings, although there has been talk of
objection to Chinese players in Mon
tana.
The Shipbuilding leagues in the
Northwest are responsible for the
smash in that circuit. They have
been spending plenty of money for
ball players and the interest in the
league has been greater than that OF
the regularly organized circuit.

was his home run and two doubles that
settled the fate of the Athletics.
Now Hank" is batting for Uncle
Sam. One more he is a raw recruit
just breaking in, but he will make
good. He will still pack the same
old punch and the same fighting
spirit.
If Hank" comes back from "over

coat front. He's that kind. Hank"
will get the medal or there will be
one more unmarked grave in IN

The wonderful interest in baseball
amply demonstrated in the Delaware
County League when more than 1000
spectators watched Upland defeat
Chester on Saturday in a sensational
9th inning rally. The roster of players
in the Weeks circuit contains enough
stars to pick a combination that would
compare favorab1y with the American
and National Leagues. Among those
drawing pay checks are Charlie Doc
in, former manager Of the Pills;
Stanley Baumgartner and, until a
few days ago, Charles Albert Bender;
Brisco Lord, famous with the Mack
machine when it won two pennants;
Markham and Lai Tin, of the Chinese
university team; Howard Lohr, who
was with Cincinnati and Cleveland;
Ed I-afitte, formerly of the Federal
League and Detroit Americans; Joe
Knots, former Tristate catcher, and
Tiny Turner, also of the same league;
Spalding, of Olympic soccer games
fame; Bill Eschen, a Southern League
outfielder; Ted Baldwin, crack West
Chester basketball player, and RUDE
eastman and Ally McWilliams, whose
names in the baseball world are
known wherever the sport is played
Other players in the league are equal
ly well-known.
The Delaware County League is the
organization with which "Home-Run"
Baker became affiliated when he quit
the Athletics, and is the only league
in the history of baseball playing on
