, will be ready for play in a few weeks,
.and u ith the DrosDects of a mainland
team coming here, the various teams
would be ready for play.
Eddie Nell is anxious fo 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 tfcis eve
ning at the meeting. Tt is Vnown
that there are a number cf good bal'
flayers on the coast at present, and
it is possible that the mainlanders
will come here within a few weeks.
Wants Report
In fcls last letter Nell said that
be 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. It 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 organi
zation than at the beginning of the
first series 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
ous organizations.
The league will frame the schedule
for the eecond series at the meeting
this evening. Arrangements wilt also
be made for a big campaign for Sat
urday baseball.

TEXAS PITCHER FAILS -f
IN 20TH STRAIGHT CAME
DALLAS, Texas, July 11. Af- f
ter winning nineteen consecutive
games and tying the major league
record, "Snipe" Conley, pitcher
for the Dallas Texas league
club, today met defeat by Waco,
8 to 3. Conley plainly showed
the strain under which he was
working, and it was two fumbles -f
-f on bunts In the third inning that
paved the way for the Waco lead,
which Dallas couid not overcome.
mm
Billings, Montana, will taV over the
Tacoma franchise of the Kortirwest
ern League, and Great Falls, Montana,
Botte and Spokane will continue as
a four club league. Vernon Ayau is
now with Tacoma and may go to Bil
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.

thought to be a! new Tecord on Sun
day afternoon when the Giants made
29. assists. Cummings fanned very
few batters. Altogether 24 assists were
taken care of by the pitcher, second
baseman, shortstop and third sacker.
Judd, of the All-Stars, played a rat
tling good 4 game against the Ruger
Giants at Molllili cn Sunday. He se
cured three bingles out of six canters
to the plate and handled three
chances without a slip. The little cen

half of the ninth when he slid home
safe.
John Haili, a ball tosser of the Ad

for the coast at 10 a. m. tomorrow

only one trip and intends making
Healanis and says that the first thing
he will do when he arrives in San
Francisco is take in several of the
Pacific Coast league games.
Kauhi of the Mutuals believes in
timely hits and thinks bingles of this
sort bring victory to the team. He
displayed this in Sunday morning's
contest against the Reach team. The
sacks were filled when Kauhi advanc
ed to the plate. He then picked out
one of Hollinger's shoots and drove
it over the centerfielder's head for a
three bagger. This timely hit cinch
ed the game for the telephone boys,
taking the Reach team into camp by
the score of 5-2.
The Pacific baseball team defeated
the Kalihi Stars in a fast game oh

The fans of the entire country an
proud of "Hank" Gowdy. He is a
manly man and everybody wishes the
Texan well. The fans know that
"Hank" will carry his part well in
the big war.
Gowdy has led a picturesque career
in the national game. He came frox
the Texas League to the Braves, un
heralded, unknown. He was just on?
of the many recruits.
Again in the world's series that
fall against the unbeatable Athletics
"Hank" proved his real worth. He
was far and away the big star of that
decisive series won by the Braves. .
It was "Hank's" individual batting
which won the first game, and again
in the third and decisive contest it
When Your Em Need Care
Try Marine Eye Remedy
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 stil! pack the same
old punch and the same lighting
spirit
If "Hank" comes back from "over
there" it will be with a medal on hio
coat front He's that kind. "Hank"
will get the medal or there will be
one more unmarked grave in "N-
Man's Land."
The wonderful interest in baseball
outside of the two big circuits was
amply demonstrated in the Delaware
County League when more than 4000
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 favorably with the American
and National Leagues. Among those
drawing pay checks are Charlie Doo
in, former manager of the Phils.;
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 Ifitte, formerly of the Federal
League and Detroit Americans; Joe
Knotts, a former Trlstate catcher, and
Tiny Turner, also of the same league;
Spalding, of Olympic socceT games
fame; Bill Eschen, a Southern League
outfielder; Ted Baldwin, crack West
Chester basketball player, and Rube
Cashman 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 affilfeted when he quit
the Athletics, and is the only league
in the history of baseball playing on
Saturdays and holidays that was ever
offered admission into the fold of or
ganized baseball.
Among the fast games at Shafter
played during the past week the
following ' contests have been fea
tured: L Co., defeated E Co. by a

BASEBALL CLUB
A large number of Mrs. Waldron'i
boys journeyed down to the Oahu
prison last,' Saturday afternoon and
c rossed 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 th
time. S. W. Robley had charge of
the boys and played for them. lis
says that next Saturday he Is goinj
back and even things up.
The final score was 14 to 8 in favor
of the O. P., but at that the O." P.
team got but one more hit that tbt
Atkinson Park boys and had taeu
been less errors and better fieldlaj
on the part oft the Kakaako bunch,
tilfforent story may have been told.;
Santos behind the bat and Kane et
hort played an excellent game iai
surprised everyone by their IpSi
Olivera at first led the Atklnion ;
Park boys at bat and in thia reaped
divided honors, with- Neves, the rlghi
fielder of the O. R's. ifz'l".
Apau and Roberto did the hurlla'l
for the O. P.'s. while Robley decor
a ted the mound for -the Kakaako
squad. Fifteen hits were garnerei
from Robley's delivery while Apse
and Roberto were touched up for 14
Nine of the Robleys hopefuls struck
out and 11 of the O. P.'s missed the
third one, while, four of the last
named walked and six of the formei
were given free passes.
S. W. Robley said today: "About
three regular ball players would giv
the Atkinson team a chance to more
than break even, but they will have tc
can a couple of fish before they can
get anywhere with their ball team."
After the ball game the Chines
team from the Oriental association as
sayed to play the O. P. volley hall
team and they were defeated, whic
V a nice kind way to put It, in three
straight sets, but they got a lot of experience.
