Fun Luke, the diminutive left fielder
of the st. Louis College ball team, is
the lead-off man for his team. He
steps to the plate as little lamb from
the fold, and sizes up the opposing
pitchers delivery. Once on to it, he
informs his teammates of the peculiar
twists and bends, and thus accom-
plishes his duty as lead-off man.
Chun Chew, the Saints centerfelder
is one of the bright lights Of the Inter
scholastic League. CHUNKY covers
his position gracefully and, above ALL
ia a mighty man with the willow.

Last Sunday at Moiliili Field, Henry
Walker was the choice for base UNI
pire for the Electric-Reach game. His
decisions we're impartial and at no
time were there any disputes over
them. Henry is just the man for tnH
position. He also umpired the Adver
tiser-von Hamm-Young game.
Jimmie Aylett. the umpire-in-chiet
for the Commercial League at Moiliili
Field, must not be forgotten. This
young man handles his position to the
satisfaction Of all. With Aylett look
ing them over behind the plate and
Walker watching the bases, the Com
mercial teams ought to be proud OF
being able to secure the services OF
this combination.
