LOCAL LEAGUE LEADERS INTACT
 FOR EXHIBITION
Crowd of 5000 Expected as Fine Weather Pre-
 vaiIs-Green to Start

With excellent baseball weather in prospect for waterbury's first and probably only night game of the season, only the arrival of Buck Lai's Hawaiian All-stars was awaited at press hour today, as even minor details were taken care of for the game with the North End Thomas Club, scheduled for ' p. m. tonight ct Hamilton Park.
 Believing that his present col- lection of ball players with the pos Sible exception of another pitcher for relief duty is strong enough to cope with the best that the Haw- aiians have to offer, Manager Har- " Melvin of the Thomas Club will probably start the Thomaston sling CT Mandy Green against Buck Lai and his hula.hula men, the real object being to keep the Tommies on edge for their final clash with the Hearts on August 1, Q game with the Recreations coming in be- tween on next Sunday, as the Hills meet the Brooklyns and. the Hearts are tagged in the feature game against the Tribunes ct 3:30 ?. m.
 The time Is drawing nearer and the interest getting greater, when tonight, at Hamilton Park, ct 9 p. m., under the lights, there will be presented the baseball game of this season, and 1t Is strongly hinted that this will be the only night game that will be played here this year, but what an attraction has been securedl
 Buck Lai, well known as one of the fiashiest third basemen ever in the Eastern league and later 0 major leaguer, brings his all-Hawai- ian team to do battle with the fast stepping Tommies of the City Ana- teur league.
 Just take 0 peek ct some of the stars that will be on the Hawaiian team, Teo Tanka, speedball artist; Al Wong, base running champion of the islands for the past 3 years, and who in his last 36 games has stolen b4 bases, Hula Hopi voted the most popular and valuable player of all the athletes of Hawaia; Som Cha So, southpaw finger; Wekiki Abbele. baseballs greatest throwing catcher; Will Hananau, slugging outfielder; Buck Lai, jr, Q chip of the old block when 1t comes to infielding; Tsi Mark, the greatest defensive player in Hawaiian baseball; Al "Frisco" Nalula, Rec Tam, sensa- tional Shortstop; Kai Kahuaha, the home run king of Alohaland; Kay Enomonto, the Eddie Collins of the Paradise Isles", and then last but not least Jackie Mitchell the female pitcher, worlds greatest, and who will positively pitch e part Of the game.
 Big Party
 The Hawaiian team will come to town in 10 trucks, which are used for their own lights, and transpor- tation of the players, immediately on their arrival squad of men will repair to Hamilton Park where they will set up the lights and when they have finished, the playing field and entire surface of the park will be 50 brilliantly lighted that the smallest of type can easily be read in any section of the park.
 The Hawaiians will perform Ii, their workout and play part of the game in the grass skirts of their native land, and also they will for the persons who are early at the park, perform Q series of dances oi their land, which will include the hula -hula. The one gate of the park that will be open for this con- test is the main one, near the dance pavilion, this will be opened to the public at 7;3o,
 On account of the large expense that is involved in bringing this at- traction to town, 1t Is necessary te charge e small admission price and the league officers, decided that 2t cents would be as little as 1t would be able to chargeand not go Into loss. This is the smallest price that an attraction like this has ever been offered for and if the response is what 1t should be, the league will bring the best of attractions here for the remainder of the season.
