In Puerto Rico, in the 1941-1942 season, Joshua Gibson was the leader in the following departments: Batting, with .480 and Home Runs, with 13. There, he played on the same team, the Cangrejeros de Santurce , with Venezuelan Vidal López, being an eyewitness to that spectacular performance. Vidal López was the third best pitcher in effectiveness with 2.83, tied with Luis Cabrera, behind Juan Guilbe (2.81) and Ray Brown (1.82), with 104 strikeouts; on offense, the "Boy from Windward" hit for an average of .327 at bat, hit 17 doubles, 6 home runs, scored 25 runs and drove in 29, in 150 at bats.

1949-2-24 Standings, boxes. The Colon Montezumas are foundering on the rocks of finance. The league president has heroically offered to the players' salaries and transport home.
"Admittedly the baseball this season has not been of the highest competitive standards but it also has not been the worst seen in local parks. The fans have not supported baseball to any extent this season.
"The old cry of playing local ballplayers is a lot of tweedle-de-dum, at least on the Atlantic Side. The Atlantic Twilight League plays five nights a week free of charge and the attendance would not overload a standard size Chiva."
The Cristobal Mottas beat the Chesterfield Smokers of the Panama Pro League 8-5 and 15-0.

This plan eliminates two of the four clubs that composed the Atlantic League last year, but leaves the present Isthmian circuit intact. There will be three ball parks available, one each at Colon, Empire, and Ancon, the Gorgona grounds having been abandoned last season."

1920-11-28 Four Homestead Steel League stars who will play in the Panama Canal League this winter.
1927-2-04 Talk. Jack Stoudner, one of the best local players, returned on the S.S. Ancon and has signed to play with the Balboa-P.M. club for the rest of the season. He is in good shape, weighing 172 pounds.
1928-10-03 Last year's crack Navy nine has lost many of its stars. It has lost seven players and found only two to replace them.
1929-1-20 Talk. "The game at Colon may be the turning point of the race for the Navy. If they beat Colon, they have a very slim chance of winning the pennant, and if they lose, they might. just as well give up the ghost. The Navy, now that the Fleet is in, will be an entirely different team than it has been this season. Virtually every position has been filled by a new man. And among the recent arrival will be found old favorites, such as Doc Dufour. Templeton and Orsi are the only old men in the infield. Michaels going to second and Young to short. King will take care of the catching while the outfield seems due for a wholesale change. Scott will more than likely pitch for the gobs."
"those who have made [Carl Boone's] acquaintance during his stay on the Isthmus regret to see him leaving soon and sincerely hope that upon his return to the temperate zone his arm will come around to be as good as it ever was and that we shall soon hear of his going to the big show. We hope he enjoyed his stay on the Isthmus and that he might find it convenient to return again next season.
It is reported that Big Ed Morris is leaving on the 13th, first, to negotiate a new eon- tract, and then to join the Boston Red Sox at their Florida training camp. On the strength of his performance last season he should receive as much as any pitcher in baseball and here's hoping he gets it. We know it has been a hardship for him to sit on the bench during some of the games at the Broad way grounds but orders are orders and he has lived up strictly to the letter of them, and most of all, he regrets having to leave in the middle of our baseball season. He has made a host of friends here on the Isthmus who will follow
his work in next season's American League pennant race and if best wishes can win ball games he will not lose a game next season."
"Skins" Hanner, 3b of the great Navy team of three years ago, is working out daily and may appear with Navy.
1929-2-03 Good talk. Barney Barlow resigned as Balboa manager, and Swede Huldquist will replace him.
"It is a rather difficult job to drop a new manager into. Last Sunday Lockhard. one of Balboa's two pitchers, quit the club. That leaves only Claude to do all the hurling. And it stands to reason that one man cannot pitch all the games, even if it is only once a week. Then to cap it all the club's regular third baseman, Larry Kelly, has a sore thumb and it is doubtful if he will play third today. Horter has been moved to center field and a Navy man, Lyle, has taken over his job. If Huldquist makes a success of the Balboa club as it is at present constituted he deserves all the credit that can be given him."
Navy will have two old Isthmian League favorites newly in their line-up today: "Raffies the old Coco Solo shortstop and Doc Dufour."
The Navy also has a player, Milburn, a 20-year-old shortstop, who will sign with the Cardinals upon his discharge in May. (Couldn't find him on BR or via a quick 1929 search)
Loftus, regular Army catcher, has malaria.
1928-5-04 Final stats. League fielding of .931. Horter led league by a mile with a .449 average.
1929-3-25 VG stats. League fielding of .943. Morris not listed as having pitched at all. Claude, Balboa pitcher, has thrown more than twice as many innings as anyone else - 85 v. 40.
1926-12-19 Boxes. "record breaking attendance." The Navy club was a shell of its former self - the Colon team, "without practice together and on grounds strange to many of the players," beat it 11-0. The worst loss the Navy has ever suffered.
1926-3-20 Navy beat Colon 5-4. "most savage and most thrilling contest of the year." Doc Dufour hit two-run homer for Navy.
1929-4-07 Boxes. Balboa clinched pennant. There was a "large and excited gathering at Balboa Stadium." "A few thousand fans."
"Cars were parked half way around the enclosure and the stands were almost full of wildly cheering rooters, who for the first time in many moons had the opportunity to acclaim a championship ball club.
Great credit is due to the excellent generalship of Manager Rudy Huldquist for the performance of his charges. Given a mediocre team, with all the imported stars leaving, and a position hopelessly in the cellar, and newspaper writers riding him and club unmercifully, Rudy bit his lips, gritted his teeth, got his gang together and lost nary a game, until today his team is riding on top of the league with only one team having a chance to tie Balboa for the pennant, and that team must win three straight to do it. The team in question, Colon, has very little chance of winning even two of the three remaining games and so Rudy and his Balboans can be said to be sitting pretty."
Some Colon fans came to the game for the express purpose of getting Horter's goat. Horter = Balboa player. Lots about him.
Army beat Navy 12-4 "before one of the largest and most enthusiastic crowds in attendance at the Colon Park for many a Sunday".
"Those who attended yesterday's contest saw the present Navy line-up for the last time this year, as on Tuesday five of [the] boys sail on the Cambrai transport for Frisco from where they will proceed to San Diego for "baseball duty". Those leaving are Orsi, 'Dutch" Raffies, Halloran, Witherspoon, and "Rebel Foreman.
Several fistically inclined gentlemen seated in front row boxes amused the fans with a little display of the art of self defense. The arrival of police spoiled the fun and incidentally prevented two of the participants [from] seeing the finish of the game as they were escorted from the park."
1929-4-21 Balboa 3, Colon Silver Sprays 2. Last game of season. Balboa was down 2-0 going into the 9th, when they rallied for three runs.
"The stands were filled to overflowing and the crowd was kept on edge throughout the game, players on both teams performing in a manner that made them all look like big leaguers. It was easily the best and hardest fought game of the season, and this with only home talent, all the imported stars having departed. The Colon team played without the services of Henley, their star third sacker, but Roger Williams filled his shoes at the hot corner in a creditable manner."
1929-4-21 "Through the efforts of Ernesto de la Guardia, arrangements have been completed for a little world series between the Balboa Club, champions of the Isthmian League, and the Fuerza y Luz team, winners in the Panama National League.
It is proposed to hold a three game series..."
1929-4-28 Fuerza y Luz (Panama National League champs) 2, Isthmian League All-Stars 1. 10 innings. 0 combined errors. "Before the largest crowd of the season, the Panama National Stadium being jammed to capacity..."
Fuerza y Luz described as the Electrics.
Isthmian All-Stars = Balboa Club.
1929-5-05 Isthmian League All-Stars 5, Fuerza y Luz 2. 3.5K ATT.
1929-5-12 Isthmian League All-Stars 4, Fuerza y Luz 2. 10 innings. "The stadium was again crowded to capacity with rabid fans who had come to see this decisive battle." Fuerza y Luz made six errors - Balboa 1. 0 combined ER.
1929-2-03 Navy beat Fort Sherman 8-0. "After three weeks' suspension of activities to engage in joint army and navy maneuvers, Navy and Fort Sherman resumed athletic relations when they met today for the second and last time of the season..."
"The game marked the appearance of Raffeis and Halloran in the Navy lineup."

1927-9-04 "The baseball game between Mayor Aleman's Panama team and "Milt" Horter's Atlantic Siders on Monday [9-05] is causing considerable interest. A large turnout of fans will be on hand to witness the struggle." Panama team described as last year's Panama National League champs. Rosters listed.
1928-2-09 Front page. "Every walk of life, from boulevard to by-way, was represented in the enthusiastic throng at Balboa Stadium to watch the All Star Panama National Leaguers severely trounce the sea going ballplayers from the Saratoga in the Carnival Benefit game yesterday.
The contest aroused great interest, and the turn out was tremendous. Spectators were ranged nearly all the way around the field. The stands were not crowded, but the game was well attended, if not heavily patronised.
Three boxes were reserved for the Queen of the Carnival, and Senorita Ruti Ehrman and her Court were the cynosure of all Kodaks. At 2.30 the charming Belle of the Mardi Grass took over the pitcher's box and gracefully delivered a strike on Alvarez, the Panamanian lead off man, after being photographed with both teams and half the Saratoga's officers.
After, the ceremony the Queen returned to her throne pro-tem to enjoy the struggle. The right wing
of the stands was occupied by the supporters of the native nine, and if the citizenry of Balboa could not tell when a run was scored for the Panamanians, it was not the fault of the rooters. The Saratoga's band furnished music for the sailors, but the resident seemed to enjoy their own small but effective force of musicians."
1928-2-09 Box. All Star Panama National Leaguers 7, Saratoga (Gobs) 2. Panamanians called "dusky lads." Jaen entered game in 4th for the Panamanians and held the sailors hitless for the rest of the game.

1949-3-12 The Carta Vieja Yankees leaving to play ball on the mainland were sent off with a banquet. The farewell party was provided by the popular local "Moon" Mullins, who lost a bet that the "Yankees would finish 1-2 in the Panama circuit."
The Yankees lost their last game on forfeit because they didn't have 9 players. Are 17-18.
Pat Scantlebury won the popularity contest as well as the MVP award, receiving 3500 votes. Leon Kellman received 3300 votes, Frank Austin was 3rd, and Clyde Parris fourth. Their prizes are listed.

1955-11-26 Talk. Three pics of C-V Yankees including Billy Shantz.
The C-V Yankees' pennant chances received a shot in the arm when they resigned Gilford "Gip" Dickens, the league MVP last year. With Johnny Kropf and Eddie Phillips, he will form one of the best defensive outfields the league has ever seen.
Joseph Anthony Nachio, better known as Joe Nachio, is the new field manager of the Chesterfield Smokers. He is a 37-year-old Scotch-Irish-Italian. He is having trouble signing players, as players he had understandings with curtly returned contracts unsigned saying they have signed with other winter leagues.
Profile of Nachio. (Pronounced Nakio.) University of Pennsylvania grad. Used to play in the Pro League. Is a successful executive with a local dairy product company.
Tells of Jim Tugerson, black Spur Cola pitcher, who caused so much controversy whilst with the Cotton States League. His presence resulted in a $100K lawsuit against baseball and four clubs being dropped from the Cotton States League.

1956-11-16 The Chesterfield Smokers have reached the maximum of four imported players with their latest signing. Four minor leaguers. Manager is Andy Cohen.
1957-11-30 The 13th league opener is tonight. President Ernesto de la Guardia, wiki, will throw out the first pitch.
"Joe Nachio steered the Carlos Eleta-owned squad to a thrilling sudden death playoff victory over the Beermen in 1955-56 after the Smokers had come from behind to tie up with Balboa in the last game of the campaign.
Nachio, who is Central America scout for the Kansas City Athletics, is prominent in the Pro Loop picture again, this time as co-owner and general manager of the Carta Vieja Yankees, the third team in the circuit.
Actually, everyone concerned owes it to Joe that Panama will have a league in operation this winter.
A crisis arose when the Colon group which owned the Yankees last season gave up the franchise. After negotiations to have the Detroit Tigers place a farm team in the loop fell through, things looked black indeed.
But Nachio saved the situation, and the circuit, by getting former Pro Loop owner Eric Delvalle to join him in taking over the Yankees. Joe went to the U.S. in late October to line up his team, which consists mainly of KC farmhands. Receiver Billy Shantz will be Yankee pilot for the second straight season."
Prominent players named.
"With the exception of four contests at Colon Stadium and the annual Chesterfield-Carta Vieja clash at David, all activity will be at the Panama Olympic Stadium."
Bleacher tickets are 50 cents, children 25 cents, covered stand 75 cents, box seat $1.25.

1958-1-10 Standings. Three teams. Commentary. 27 of the total 51 games have been played. Season should wrap up 2-4.
Herman Charles of the reigning champion Cerveza Balboa Beermen was the first player in league history to play all nine positions in one season.
There have been 57 extra-inning games since the league began 13 years ago.

1959-1-19 Standings, four good boxes, commentary. 2550 ATT at second game.
Recommends season start even earlier next season so 44 games can be played by each team instead of 36. "More games from the outset of operations could be played in Colon, David and Chitre. This would alleviate the economic burden of Panama City fans who almost singlehandedly provide the support of the league."
Pictures should be provided in newspapers next year. "This is probably the only pro league in the world where graphic reporting is practically unknown."
The club owners loosened their purse strings enough for the league to have high quality players - about class AA, perhaps. "This, however, cannot be said of the other supplementary elements that go into the making up of a league, some of which are rated pretty low."
1959-1-29 Standings, box, preview. The Kings are on the cusp of a crown.

"Harris maintained his form by pitching for the Balboa Brewers in the Panama Canal Department Army League. His professional experience held him head and shoulders above most of the competition, as Harris led his Brewers to the Canal Zone League championship in 1942. To cap it off, Mickey attained the highest pitching honor in baseball, tossing a perfect game. On April 12, 1942, he retired all 27 batters of the Canal Zone All-Stars on only 67 pitches, striking out five, in a 9-0 victory for Balboa. Said Harris, “The greatest thrill I ever got in baseball came to me in the Army, when I pitched that perfect game in Balboa. I got more kick out of that than I did out of winning my first professional game, or even winning my first full game with the Red Sox.”
Unfortunately, Harris injured his pitching arm in 1943, and was unable to help the Brewers repeat as Canal Zone League champions. Still, he managed to help the Brewers regain their top spot in 1944, and set a Canal League single-game strikeout record by whiffing 20 hitters on March 27, 1945."
New York Yankees
1946-2-27 Joe DiMaggio and Tom Henrich won suits by hitting home runs. Pic.
Yankees beat Canal Zone All-Stars 10-3 before 2584 paying customers.
"The Yankees scheduled 11 games in Panama in 1946 and played against a team of Panamanian all-stars in the Canal Zone city of Balboa before an estimated crowd of 10,000. The Yanks returned for more in 1947, playing exhibition games against the Brooklyn Dodgers, who featured a rookie named Jackie Robinson, still nominally on the roster of their top club, the Montreal Royals. Panamanian Héctor López, who would go onto play with the Kansas City A’s and then the Yanks, said, “The Yankees and Dodgers came down to Panama for spring training [in March 1947]. After watching them, that’s when I really started thinking about playing professionally.”

"Ayer en el Estadio Nacional se tributó un merecido homenaje al gran jugador Gil Garrido Miles: de personas se congregaron a testimoniarle su simpatia aprecio al que pronto saldrá para los Estados Unidos en presentación del beisbol nacional. Numerosas entidades deprtivas le hicieron ob- sequios de valor al "olimpico perfecto" que se le ha dado en llamar al amigo Gil.-
Pero hubo algo que llamó la atación sobre todas las cosas y fué el obsequio que le hizo el Departamento de Educación Fisica a Gil Garrido. Aunque stedes no lo crean, el obsequio consistió en 300 ejemplares de un reglamento de béisbol en español que cierto conocido empresario local acaba de editar.
Los cinco mil fanáticos que estaba en el Estadio como los otros miles que estabamos alejados por una u otra causa nos estamo rompiendo la cabeza para tratar de adivinar qué quiere el Departamento de Educación Fica que haga Gil Garrido con los 300 ejemplares de marras Qué los salga a vender por el Parque de Santa Ana o que se les lleve a los Estados Unidos para venderlos allá?"
"Yesterday at the National Stadium a well-deserved tribute was paid to the great player Gil Garrido Miles: people gathered to show their sympathy for the one who will soon leave for the United States in presentation of national baseball. Numerous sports entities gave valuable gifts to the "perfect Olympian" who has been called his friend Gil.-
But there was something that caught the attention above all things and it was the gift that the Department of Physical Education gave to Gil Garrido. Although you may not believe it, the gift consisted of 300 copies of a baseball rulebook in Spanish that a certain well-known local businessman had just published.
The five thousand fans who were in the Stadium, like the other thousands who were away for one reason or another, are racking our brains to try to guess what the Department of Physical Education wants Gil Garrido to do with the 300 copies of yore. to sell in the Santa Ana Park or to take them to the United States to sell them there?"

1919-6-15 (Visalia Times-Delta)
Dinuba is the best team in the league. "Dinuba has been playing steadily for three months and have lost but two games this year."
1919-6-15 (Visalia Daily Times) "Dinuba has a creditable ball park, centrally located, and a grandstand seating at least 600."
Jones showed a lot of stuff and plenty of control for Visalia, "and at all times worried the Dinuba players while on bases."
1919-6-22 (Hanford Kings County Sentinel) Hanford 10, Shell 4.
1919-6-22 (Hanford Sentinel) Small crowd. Zinke ran the bases better than he pitched. "The tall local heaver, was apparently wore out from the heat, and his speed did not last."
Hanford made fewer earned runs - 3- than Shell - 4- but Shell made 9 errors.

McCaslin's spitter did not work.
Bad base running by Zinke spoiled any lingering chance Hanford had at victory.
"This poor play and the poor pitching spoiled what might have been a good ball game, as both players and fans of Hanford and Dinuba were in very 'hostile' moods, and no end of enthusiasm reigned."
Clare knocked ball over short Dinuba fence for two bases.

Hawaiian baseball 1910+
1909-1-07 About All-Hawaii roster.
1909-1-30 A. Reach All-Stars 5, All-Hawaii 1. Reuter pitched for All-Hawaii. Joy umpired a decent game. Play by play, box.
1909-1-31 A. Reach All-Stars 13, All-Hawaii 2. Leslie pitched for All-Hawaii. Play by play, box. Bob Leslie "has been sick lately..."
"Barney Joy is a star player and knows the game, and he gives his decisions promptly and honestly. He is not liked by the fans in that role, however, and there was a hurricane of protests round town last night about his decisions."
"It was officially given out by the league yesterday afternoon that, for the three games yet to be played between the All-Star and All-Hawaii teams, the prices of admission would be reduced as follows: General admission, twenty-five cents; grandstand, fifty cents, and reserved seats, one dollar."
"During the first part of the game the visitors were working as hard as they knew and didn't get ahead very much. Bob was in great shape and his puzzling delivery was was working great havoc. Burns turned out to be less of a terror than was expected, and the boys met him courageously and managed to find him for a few bingles.
The terrifying thing about Burns' pitching is his quasi-balk in throwing to first. It is not really a balk, but looks like one, and is simply deadly; so deadly, in fact, that a man on first is safe only as long as he keeps his foot glued to the bag. In winding, Burns does not turn to the plate, but stands sideways, facing first base. When he gets ready to pitch he turns his face to the plate about the time his hand is opposite the center of his body. Before he turns his head he has a perfect right to throw to first, and he can do this with lightning speed when it appears certain that he is going to deliver. Will Desha was caught napping this way, first rattle out of the box; after that, the locals stayed mighty near the bag. "
1909-2-03 B. Reach All-Stars 13, All-Hawaii 4. Joy umpired to the general dissatisfaction of all.
1909-2-07 A. All-Hawaii 4, Reach All-Stars 3. Burns pitched for All-Hawaii. Box, pbp.
"There was a very amusing incident in the second part of the third when En Sue, in sliding to second, passed clean between Delahanty's legs and reached the bag in safety."
Barney Joy replaced Mique Fisher as umpire.
Bill Hampton won accuracy throwing contest.
1909-6-25 Preview of team to play Maui. Louie Soares, Johnnie Williams, and Jim Williams are members of the 'Tiser team.

(1909-7-10 Maui. Box for 4-1 game, which Johnnie Williams pitched. Only one error made by each team.
(1912-7-08 A. Taken from Maui News: "Barney Joy is a bully, not a ball player, and when we say bully, we mean he is also a coward. The rest of the Honolulu team are gentlemen."
With the bases loaded, Joy hit a ball which landed six yards foul among the automobiles yet was called fair.
1913-9-21 A. All-Maui 8, Asahi 2.
1909-6-16 Ringers 5, Advertisers 4. Ringers have a lot of league players.

1910-4-21 B. Bert Bowers not after umpiring job; Barney Job may be given job.
1910-4-30 Star. "Promptly at one o'clock, headed by the Hawaiian band, the members and officials of the league will start from the corner of King and Fort streets, and will march to the grounds where formal ceremonies will mark the opening of the season.
Bonine will be on hand with his picture machine to take several rolls of films which will be produced at his cozy theater next week. Charles Hustace Jr., who has consented to throw the first ball, is confident that he can strike any man in the city out, and his efforts will no doubt be well rewarded.Two games will be played every Sunday weather permitting, until the series are completed.
Baseball is evidently finished in the big league and as the Japanese team of the Oahu League have proved that they know the game, the future outcome will be that the Oahu leaguers will take the place of their rivals in the eyes of the many fans who would walk miles to see a good fast game of baseball.
Baseball has come to stay in Hawaii, and the public always shows their interest by journeying down to see the minor leaguers play the game."
1910-5-21 Star. Joy making good as umpire.
1910-6-12 A. Double umpire system will be used today. Joy will act as chief umpire will "Kiddo" Chillingworth will man the bases.
1910-7-15 B. At league meeting yesterday it was decided that Henry Chillingworth will umpire alone. No more Joy.
The proposition to have the Military Athletic Association pick regular service team, a national guard team, a Marine team, the St. Louis College Alumni team and the Oahu College Alumni team, get the league grounds for the returns it would bring in to the street car company in fares, charge a reasonable admission fee and let all the gate money go to the Military Athletic Association to promote sports met with quite general approval yesterday. Jimmie Williams said that the St. Louis team would probably go in on the deal. "If they put a stop to the team getting a divvy out of it and go into the game for sport's sake and the pride of winning we can have some good baseball in Honolulu," he declared with emphasis, "and in no other way."
The St. Louis Alumni team, it was said yesterday, has issued a challenge to the Wasedas and that Barney Joy and Henry Chillingworth would play on the team. The lineup, as given out yesterday, will be Leslie and Johnnie Williams, pitchers; Barney Joy, catcher; Henry Chillingworth, shortstop; Dreier, first base; Franco, second base; Freitas, third, and En Sue, Bruns and Aylett in the field."
1910-7-26 A/ Fans say the Japanese Athletic Association can have Athletic Park - real amateur games will be held at the league grounds.
Heavy gambling on the Wasedas is said to be the cause of the Japanese boycott. The Athletic Park management is concerned only with placating the Japs.
At the last Oahu League meeting Barney Joy was ousted from his umpirial position by a majority of managers - Henry Chillingworth is installed in his place. The non-Japanese teams claimed Joy had ruled against them and for the Japanese team unfairly on several occasions.
Japanese were not happy with (correct) decision that went against the Wasedas in the Saturday game.
1910-7-26 A. continued. Japs threatened boycott, Athletic Park wants to appease them.
"Bert Bower, as happened, did not get around in time. Barney Joy was on the grounds and the Japanese declared that the Wasedas would not play, it was said, unless Barney Joy umpired. Joy was at once put back at his old stand and Henry Chillingworth was prevailed upon to take the field. Henry Chillingworth, it was said yesterday, has prepared his resignation to hand in to the league; the members, other than the Japanese representatives, declare that Barney Joy will not umpire when their teams play the Wasedas. Bert Bower will not mix up in the mess, and so it stands. The only way out of the dilemma, it was said yesterday, was to cut out the Japanese fans and their Athletic Park management and organize a big league, eliminate the financial influences and have clean sport.

1910-8-03 Enthusiastic Chinese fans gave Vernon Ayau $200 for making game-winning hit for the Chinese team v. the Wasedas.
1910-8-12 A. "Some little criticism of the new league cropped out last night at the Oahu league meeting, all of which seemed to be due to an impression that the so-called big league was gotten up to antagonize their organization, but a large majority of those present favored conciliatory methods when it came to a showdown. Manager Notley of the Japanese team appealed to his colleagues for remedy against members of his team participating in the series which opens at the league grounds under the management of the Military Association tomorrow, and after considerable discussion, in which Sergeant Davis, captain of the Marine team, which is interested as a whole in both organizations, made a firm stand, a motion was carried that members of teams in the Oahu league who participate in the so-called big league series be not affected by their action. so far as their standing in the Oahu league is concerned.
AthleticTo Start Next Month.
The Oahu league's first series ended last Sunday, and it was decided not to start the second series until the first Sunday in September, which falls on the fourth. The new league plays a series of five double-headers at the league grounds, beginning tomorrow and ending on Labor Day, Monday, the fifth of September. This short series, it was admitted, does not conflict with the proposed second series of the Oahu league, but Mr. Notley of the Japanese team and Mr. Paresa of the Portuguese team were standing sponsors for the future welfare of the league, they claimed, and they wanted the issue settled to anticipate embarrassment. which might arise next year.
Notley declared that five of his men had been approached by representatives of the so-called big league, without his being consulted, and invited to play in the series starting tomorrow. Between the St. Louis and the Oahu colleges alumni teams and the National Guard nine of the new league, he will have five of his best men-shortstop, first, second and third basemen, one fielder and one of his best catchers-playing Saturdays on the new league. His argument first was that in ease these men should be playing Sunday matches. in the Oahu league they would not be in condition to do their best on their teams in the Oahu league.
Sergeant Davis came back at Notley with the argument that the entire Marine team intended to play in the new league Saturday games, and it was no worse for his entire team to play two days in succession than for individual players on the other teams to do the same."

Account of the race - questionable decision going against Japanese runner became the cause of the Japanese boycott of the park.
1909-9-12 Apau, C.A.C. pitcher, threw a perfect game. The C.A.C. only made one hit itself.
"Vivian Ayau, the crack little shortstop who used to play for the Chinese Alohas at Aala Park, returned from Maui last week and made his first appearance at the park. He was greeted with a tremendous ovation when the fans saw him at shortstop and he repaid their welcome by playing a star game and not making a single error."
Play by play.
"The record and victory by the C. A. C. was very popular. The spectators seemed well pleased and the hundreds of Chinese fans went as nearly crazy as possible without being taken to the pupule house. One Chinese fan became so excited that he spluttered in two languages and finally burst into a paean of praise for McHenry who had just made a rather close decision. "Ho, ho, ho, you all right Empire, oh, all right, say you Mac I get you some nice present, oh, you all right Empire."
The crowd was not so large as usual on account of the recently organized Japanese boycott. But the grandstand and bleachers were fairly full and any lack in attendance was more than made up to the players by the enthusiasm."
Article about the Japanese boycott. "The incident is interesting in that it shows clearly how many of the local baseball patrons are Japs."

1912-11-09 A. P.A.C. team pic, with full names listed.
1912-11-19 A. All league members are amateurs.
"Johnny Williams is a professional through his connection with the Sacramento nine of the Pacific Coast League and of which he is a member while all the members of the Oahu League teams are amateurs, under the recent ruling of the A. A. U.
Thus, any one playing with Johnny Williams on the same team will be considered a professional though an amateur team may play against professionals and not incur any penalty.
It is rather uncertain if Williams will be able to get a team together and he cannot very well accomplish this unless he falls back on the rank and file of the Oahu League players. He will find it difficult to pick any kind of a bunch which will be able to make some kind of a showing against the All-Chinese because other than the Oahu League players there are no baseball players, not amateurs, in the city to speak of.
The story goes that Barney Joy has absolutely refused to catch for Williams and so has Hyman Raphael and some others who have been mentioned probable material for the proposed picked team and this on account of the finely drawn reading of the A. A. U. regarding professionalism.
The argument was used on the street yesterday that Barney Joy, because he played for the Northwestern League a couple of years ago, was also a professional, but the reply was that, admitting Jov has played once as a professional, this was before the institution of the local branch of the A. A. U.
There were several professionals in- some of the teams which played against the All-Chinese this year on the main- land, but this did not make the local boys such as they at no time used a professional in their own team."

1913-5-27 B. OSL characterized as pro ranks.
1913-6-20 B. "Barney Joy and Bill Hampton are no longer on the so-called black list of the Oahu League. At a meeting of the organization held Wednesday night, these players asked for their releases, and after due consideration their request was granted, and they withdrew in good standing.
It seems that there was some sort of misunderstanding with this pair, as to the exact terms of the recent by-law passed by the league, which forbade any of its players to participate in outside Sunday games. Joy and Hampton wished to quit the league, but wanted to do so with a clear slate, and by the action of the directors the other night, they have done so.
It is rumored that Manager Paresa of the Portuguese had his eye on the pair, and that he was ready to offer inducements which would prove quite acceptable to the former Star and Hawaii players. However, if Joy and Hampton obtained their release with any such idea in view, it was quickly nipped in the bud, for President Chillingworth expressly ruled that both men would be ineligible to play for any league club during the remainder of the season.
There is a chance that further friction will be avoided by not playing the postponed game scheduled for July 13, unless it is necessary to determine the winner of the first half of the series. Then the opening of the second half could be put off for a couple of weeks, thereby having no conflict. with the Sunday dates of the Stanford team. At any rate, that is the dope that is being handed round by those in the know, and on the face it seems to be as good a solution to the muddle as any."
1913-8-08 B. p.1 "There is more Joy in the Oahu League when one pitcher returneth than over the ninety and nine who strayed not into the bushes.
So Barney came back. Likewise ones Bill Hampton. These gentlemen, whose names and fame are known from the wilds of Waianae to the duck ponds of Waikiki, asked for their releases, and shook the dust of Athletic Park forever from their spikes, when the St. Louis Alumni players and the league management came to a parting of the ways over the recent Stanford. series. Now they have returned, and striped stockings will again be drawn over the fatted calf. [LOL]But B. Joy and W. Hampton will both wear Hawaii uniforms when they gambol across the alleged green of the infield next Sunday. The bright red star of his old club will no longer ornament Barney's manly bosom. The old pals who hearkened to his gentle encouragement, he will now face as an enemy, stern and unrelenting. For Barney has been netted by Dave Desha, to steady the forlorn hopes that play under his leadership. Hampton comes back to his old team.
Yesterday afternoon the Oahu league directors held a meeting at which the return of the two wander ing players was arranged to the satis faction of all concerned. As they had asked for their releases, and as matters between the Moiliili and Athletic Park managements relative to the college series had been smoothed over without friction, it was thought best for the interests of baseball to welcome the little strangers back into the ford. Dave Desha didn't say right out loud in open meeting that he had secured the services of Mr. Joy, but he intimated as much, and later slipped the word to some cronies that the great and only Barney was his special attraction from now on."
1911-5-21 A. Boxes, standings. "at times, it seemed as [though the] grandstand would be kicked to [pieces] by the stamping of the fans." Play by play for the first game, which lasted 14 innings.
Joy caught for the Star club.
"There was one objectionable feature yesterday, and that was the way a few malihinis yelled at some of the players and the umpire. These newcomers should learn that in Hawaii we do not make remarks about the color of any man. We live happily enough together, and men of all nationalities, ereeds and colors manage to respect one another and act as friends. Yesterday some of the would-be witty malihinis, and at least one oldtimer shouted out things to a colored man who plays on one team. It showed the ignorance of the witty (?) grandstand spectators, and annoyed people who take no stock in what color a man is."
pre-season:
1912-4-14 A. Joy umpired.
1912-5-12 A. Boxes, standings. "If Barney Joy could have played the whole game alone he might have had some show of winning in yesterday afternoon's affray with the J. A. C.'s, but with the amateur bonehead collection behind him there was no chance for even a Christy Matthewson to win.
To get down to statistics, the hard facts are these: The Stars were trounced by a score of 11 to 2 by the J. A. C. outfit. In the second performance of the afternoon's bill the Hawaiis defeated the Portuguese Athletic Club by a score of 6 to 1.At any rate Barney Joy showed that he could come back. Yesterday was the first time the fans have been given an opportunity to see him in the pitcher's box for many a moon. He stepped onto the mound in the first inning after two runs had been scored on a collection of hard luck and general trouble.
"Tis true-Barney allowed eight hits during his reign on the throne but four of them were of the scratch variety, and against his hit record there was a collection of nine strikeouts. The error list of the Stars shows up some of the pilikia, but not by any means all of it. No mere error column could do justice to the work of the poor Stars. Luck didn't seem to be entirely with them, either."

"Quibes' work at third, short and with the stick, showed league form in the new man. "Tony" Marcailino discovered Quibes a few days ago at Fort Shafter and made him forthwith a term prisoner for the Stars. This was his first appearance in local baseball as he has been in the Islands less than a month. Quibes has been several years in the army and played ball for a long time in one of the Texas big leagues.
Bert Bower's work was praised, for it is being fast realized that only backbone and a foot put down hard will save the Oahu League after the manner fans and players have used the umpires in recent games. Ralph's decisions on strikes and bails and on base plays were often questioned, but partisanship on the part of players and fans accounted generally for their dimness of sight. Umpire Ralph is making good."
La Mere homered twice.
1912-8-25 A. "Joy pitched a real good game and used his head mainly, something which surprised many of the fans accustomed as they are to see the big southpaw take occasional flights into the high altitudes."

1912-9-29 A. "And the Stars have fallen from their high estate!
The forecast in Sunday morning's Advertiser was that the Stars were due for a fall and that it might come about that day. It did.
The pity of it all is that no more conclusive proof could be offered that Berney Joy is the whole team and when he cannot win it alone then it is all off with the heavenly twinklers.
Barney did not pitch a bad game after all the discouragement his team injected into his system. He He struck out ten men; only allowed two walks to first and made a home run, but the Hawaiis collected seven safe hits off his deliveries."

"The Japanese Athletic Club won the championship and 1912 pennant of the Oahu League yesterday from the Portuguese Athletic Club in a game in which, for the first time, the winners showed decided superior form over the losers. While the teams had played four games previously, and had broken even, the victories had been won by one and the other just by one run in each case and mainly on the break of the "luck" which is an ever present attendant of the national game, but in yesterday's deciding battle the J. A. certainly played rings around their opponents and showed vastly superior form over the vanquished.
La Mere's home run, the ninth he has made this year at Athletic Park, saved the P. A. Cs from a shutout, which, had it occurred, would have been the only such in the championship series.
Biggest Crowd Ever.
Twenty-three hundred and forty-one people paid admission to see the play and this was by far the biggest crowd which had witnessed any game this year at Athletic Park. All told, the attendance was over twenty-five hundred. All three sections of the grandstand were packed. The long covered and uncovered Ewa bleachers were crammed full and so was the main Waikiki free-and-easy stand with the low, raking bleachers at the further end of the last also fairly packed. Automobile row was well filled."

1913-6-22 B. Terrible games.
1913-8-10 B. Joy's debut for Hawaiis. Joy assaulted a soldier spectator he claimed was insulting him. Banished from game.
Joy's work was "wild and wooly in the extreme."
"It was while on the third base coaching line that Joy got into trouble, and had he stuck to baseball, and not tried repartee with the wing stands, the disgraceful scene would not have happened. Joy says that a soldier was abusing him, and that he stopped to tell him just what he thought of him. Barney's language needed editing, and the fan dared him to cross the fence and say it again at close range. This was music to Joy, and he was over the barrier, and in a general mix-up in no time. The crowd was too thick for any real damage to be done, and in a moment Joy was hustled protesting through the players' gate. The umpire will make his report of the occurrence to President Chillingworth, and it will be up to the league executive to rule on the case. He has it in his power to suspend Joy for the rest of the season, if he sees fit."
1913-8-24 B. "The fans have been losing confidence in the Oahu league and its management for some time past, and yesterday the weak-kneed policy was shown up when Barney Joy strode on to the mound to pitch for the Hawaiis. Now Barney pitched a rattling good game, and conducted himself irreproachably, 'tending strictly to business, and not even peeping when he thought he was getting the worst of the decisions. But that doesn't alter the fact that after his fight with a spectator two weeks ago, President Chillingworth made the positive statement that in the interests of clean baseball he would suspend the Star's cast-off, who celebrated his initial appearance in Hawaii uniform by a rowdy exhibition. The pot simmered for a day or so, and then it was rumored that Joy was to be given a stiff fine, and allowed to play. Not even this action was taken, and Joy vas back in the game yesterday with only a talking to as a reminder of a serious breach of discipline.
Many of the regulars who saw yesterday's game expressed themselves as thoroughly disgusted with the league's policy. They bear no resentment toward Joy, but do not care to support an organization that has given up even the pretense of controlling its players. The Oahu league has made a serious blunder in the Joy case, and it is not unlikely that the attendance from now on will be even slimmer than was the case yesterday. The whole situation has disgusted the better element in local baseball."

1913-10-12 B. 2nd half final standings. A three-way tie for first: all bunched together at 5-3 are the Hawaiis, Coast Defense, and Stars.
1913-10-26 B. Hawaiis 5, Coast Defense 3. Hawaiis reinforced by Alex Desha, En Sue, Ayau. "the Hawaiis won largely through the work of their substitutes, two of the All-Chinese players and A. Desha..."
1913-11-09 B. Hawaiis won second series.
1913-11-16 B. P.A.C. beat Hawaii 5-2 in ten innings as Scott (25th Infantry) threw a ten-inning no-hitter. Scott pitched the 9th and 10th innings with a bandaged face - he had slid into Vernon Ayau's spikes.
"There were all sorts of baseball in yesterday's contest. To tell the truth, there came very near being no baseball at all, for the Hawaiis were loath to play on the Athletic park diamond, which was more like a swamp than a baseball field. After the Junior league opener had been run off somehow, the managers and captains of the Senior league con- tenders held a long pow-wow, which finally resulted in the announcement by Umpire Stayton that an exhibition only would be played, not to count in the championship series, on series, on account of the poor condition of the ground. This arrangement was all wrong, for if the diamond was fit to play on at all, it was fit for the game that the fans had paid good money to see. The crowd was not backward about voicing its opinion, and within a few minutes the managers decided to make the best of a bad job, and Stayton announced that the scheduled game would be played."
1913-11-30 B. "Barney Joy pitched air-tight ball" - retired the first 20 batters to face him.
"A big crowd saw the game and those not fortunate enough to attend ball games in motor cars, "cussed out" the condition of the approach to the ball park, which was ankle deep in mud. Whether it is the business of the park management to keep up this road, or not, it would certainly be policy to do so. A few handfuls of rice husk won't answer the purpose, and the alleged sidewalk is so broken down and full of holes as to be positively dangerous. The public is giving Athletic Park good support, and is entitled to better accommodations."
1913-12-07 B. Tony Medeiros has waxed, and Joy waned. No strikeouts listed in box - Medeiros struck out two that were dropped.
"One of the keenest stunts seen on the local lot for many a long month was pulled off by Barney Joy in the second inning, when a man was roosting on first with no one gone. M. Ornellas laid down a sacrifice bunt which rolled up the first base line in such a way that Dreier had to anchor himself to the bag to stand any show of a put out, and leave the fielding to the pitcher. Joy made a rush for the ball, but it was rolling almost even with the runner when both were close to the base. Ornellas is fast, and the same can't be said for Joy. The latter saw that a pick up and toss was out of the question, so he gave the ball a kick toward first in his stride. Dreier tied himself into a knot and scooped it off the ground a fraction of a second before the runner's foot reached the base. It was a very classy piece of headwork, footwork and handwork, and was roundly applauded."
"Francis Barney in one inning became the target for the worst kind of abuse, for in the second round he painfully misjudged a pop-up fly in right field and then added to his bobble by tangling himself up with the ball.
Francis Barney also caused the fans to rant and cat call at him for his actions on the coaching lines by continually finding fault with the way Smiling Tony Medeiros was pitching.
It was Barney's contention that Tony was illegally delivering the ball to the batter and perhaps he was, but as Alex Desha was also violating the rules Stayton refused to listen to the complaints of Francis Barney.
In the third round, though Francis Barney became the hero of the day and last night and today Francis Barney has his name on the tongue of every fan and he is being hailed as the Frank Baker of Oahu.
How Barney Came Back.
When Francis Barney meandered to the batter's box in the third inning he was a member of the "In Bad Club" for fair, for in round two F. B. had mussed up that play in rightfield which paved the way for the P. A. C's to reach the rubber.
He was sad at heart, and mad, too, and when he got the chance to swing at one of Tony's benders, Barney put all his heft behind the swat and drove the ball far into leftfield for a two- bagger.
Two men were on the paths and as they romped over the rubber the lead of the P. A. C's had been cut down and the score was up sticks."
"Big F. Bernardo Joy. he who is now proclaimed the Duck King of Kaimuki and is the proud possessor of a phonograph which peals forth sweet and melodious refrains, was the gun man for the Hawaiis.
Like the old veteran said, it was one of the Duck King's good days and he was master of all he surveyed. Paresa's crew could do nothing with the benders of the rotund one and with the amount of runs scored behind him in the very first inning even, made his victory an easy one."

1913-7-13 B. Stanford 9, Punahou 2. St. Louis 14, Stanford 10. (forfeited.) Forfeited in third inning when St. Louis refused to take the field, but they went on playing the game as an exhibition - so it was a weird hybrid.
"All the trouble started in the third inning, when the score stood 1 to the in favor of the home team. With men on second and third and one out. Terry hit sharply to short, and Bushnell's peg to the plate was wide, going through to the grandstand. According to the ground rules overthrows to first, third and home go for one extra base, and Stayton ruled that both Stanford runners had scored, conceding that the man on second would have reached third safely in any event, and that the extra base was the plate, Barney Joy let out an awful. roar at this ruling, and finally Stayton waved him to the bench. Joy, still protesting, was on his way, when his team mates, led by the captain Albert Akana, got into the argument, and refused to play at all if Joy was banished. Stayton waited five minutes. after ordering the players back to their places, and then declared the Fame forfeited to Stanford, 9 to 0. Make Kick Stick.
It was here that the St. Louis team took the game in its own hands, and rode roughshod over the Moillili management. The correct thing to do, so as not to disappoint the record crowd that filled stands and bleachers, and overflowed into right field, was to start all over again, and call the second game an exhibition. In that case Joy could have gone in again, and Stayton would have been perfectly willing to umpire. This the St. Louis players wouldn't hear of. They were going to have things just as they wanted them, or quit the game. It was be probably a bluff, for had the Saints dogged it to the extent of quitting they would have had a hard time explaining their action for a long time to come. Also, there are some fair-minded sportsmen in the line-up, who wouldn't have stood for such unsportsmanlike action. But the Molllili management gave in without a whimper and refused to back up the ruling of their umpire, or stand for their rights and the rights of the public. The sight of the crowded stands was too much for their nerves, and they allowed Joy, Akana & Co. to dictate terms.
The Stanford players were willing to do anything so long as the game went on, and when the Saints insisted on reversing Stayton's ruling, sending) the runner who had scored on the wild throw back to third, they went back to the field without protesting. Ringland continued to umpire, handling the game alone, and doing it very indifferently at that.
Umpire Buys Ticket.
Stayton, thoroughly disgusted, went to the box office and bought an admission ticket, which he handed to the doorkeeper. He then changed his clothes and went home. Stayton is an topnotch umpire, whose honesty and ability are unquestioned, and yet he is getting a very raw deal. When the promoters of the Stanford series refused to stand back of him, there was nothing for him to do but step down and out. However, his withdrawal from the game in no way affects his original ruling. Betting on ball games is a bad thing for the sport, but the fact remains that there was consider able money up on yesterday's contest, and the Stanford backers draw this down. The final score counts for nothing. Stayton having every right as chief umpire to declare the game forfeited, when the St. Louis team fused to continue."4 1913-7-20 B. Stanford 7, St. Louis 4.

1913-8-13 SF B. ""Honolulu" John Williams has been offered a berth on the team which Mike Fisher is organizing to invade Australia with next winter. Mike has asked the crack pitcher to become a member of his party for the simple reason that his All-Stars will play a series of six games at Honolulu on the outward trip. The team will sail from here on one of the Oceanic Steamship Line's boats November 4, and will play the first game at Honolulu on November 12. After spending a week on the islands the team will catch a boat for Australia. In view of Williams most likely going to the big bush next year Williams would be a card for Fisher at Honolulu. The home would give him the same sort of a reception that it accorded Barney Joy when Fisher took him back after his successful year with the Seals.
Fisher has also let it be known that he may sign Brick Devereaux, who has always accompanied him on his long trips. Devereaux is a big card in foreign lands. His unique line of coaching gets the crowds. All through Japan, China and the Philippines the Red Dog was a scream on the coaching lines. The natives often called for him to get busy and Brick was accommodating."
1912-7-08 A. ""Tony" Marcallino was the guest of honor at the game between the Chicago White Sox and the Boston Red Sox June 16 at Comiskey Park, in Chicago; the Bostonians winning 4-3. "I would like to see my local boys play as fast ball here as the leaguers did that day," said Mareallino last night commenting on mainland baseball. Marcallino did not escape the papers, either, for one of them got wind that he was the big mogul in baseball circles here and printed a column story about the national game in Hawaii.
The returned traveler also saw Johnny Williams in San Francisco. Honolulu John wasn't pitching that day because the weather was too cold for his Hawaiian blood. Through Johnny, Marcallino met Patsey O'Rourke, the then manager of the Sacramento team. As a result of this interview Marcallino has now a proposition in hand which will likely bring the Senators down here after the Coast League season is over."
