1908-7-11 Cartoon - timely hints to ballplayers
1908-7-11 Cartoon - timely hints to ballplayers
"The crowd was the biggest ever seen at the ground and enthusiasm ran higher than it has ever done over a local sporting contest."
"A large number of Japanese were present, some of them having walked a long way in order to be present at the game in which their countrymen were to participate."
"Freine hit to Lota in right field but he dropped the ball which got among the crowd, allowing Freine to scamper round the bases for a home run."
"The road from the cars to the ground is badly in need of fixing.
"The crowd yesterday had the biggest crowd of the Spaldings' series skinned quite a way.
"The Keios certainly know the game. It is a pleasure to watch them.
"There were hundreds of purple and white Keio flags in the crowd.
"Secretary Thompson pitched the first ball. President Isenberg was to have performed this function, but excused himself on the ground of a sore arm.
"Shortstop Sasaki is a wonder. His work yesterday pleased the fans immensely.
"Lyman did some nice throwing to second.
"Kameyama brought off a splendid running catch in the third, disposing of Bruns.
"Kanki is a very fast base-runner.
"Kayama, the Keio's pitcher, uses good headwork. He is not an impressive twirler, but has speed when he wants to use it.
"The crowd back up the Keios.
"As soon as the game was lost, the Keios gave three cheers for the Punahous, and the Colts returned the compliment with interest.
"The absence of Fern from the Kamehamehas' team contributed largely to the defeat of the side."
1908-7-12 Pics of E. Fernandez and Bushnell.
"The ball games yesterday both went to the locals, greatly to the delight of the mammoth crowd present. While the ball dished up was somewhat of a bushy nature, the games were interesting and the kind which a crowd likes to watch."
"The ball games yesterday both went to the locals, greatly to the delight of the mammoth crowd present. While the ball dished up was somewhat of a bushy nature, the games were interesting and the kind which a crowd likes to watch."
"The Saints scored consistently, bringing in a run every other innings. The Japanese got theirs in the ninth and the banzais which rent the air when Sasaki came in were deafening."
"Here's where the Japs came into the limelight. The crowd got a hunch that the Keios were going to score in the ninth and there was much money which smelt strangely wise that said they would put at least one over before the undertaker was called in.
Kayama flew out to short. Sasaki reached first on a hit to short. Fukuda walked. Kanki bunted and made the first bag, Joy fumbling the ball. The bases were full and banzais were as thick as sticks on a poi dog. Abe fanned and Sasaki stole home, the catcher mussing up first's throw. Kayama perished second to first, the band struck up the Japanese national anthem and the crowd took in a fresh supply of peanuts and waited for the second race on the card."
Second game was tied 3-3 at start of 7th - Jewels scored then.
"The Santa Claras got a liberal hand as they trotted out onto the green sward.
It looked as if the Jewels were going to live up to their reputation of scoring at the frist crack out of the box, but, alas, such proved to be a poor guess."
"Laffin struck out. 'I can't help Laffin,' yelled Jack Doyle, whereat the crowd in the makai bleachers nearly died laffin'."
"Two more Riversiders broke into the game at the big league park yesterday. They are Sing Chong, who played short for the Jewels in place of Evers, and Walker, who helped out the Saint Louis batting array. Both men made good."
"It was estimated that not less than three thousand persons were in the enclosure at the ball grounds yesterday...
The little fellows from the land of the chrysanthemum showed themselves to be good players, familiar with the rules to an extent that was surprising to the umpire, who is long on knowledge and occasionally short on judgement.
Yesterday was an off day and there were several unpleasant disputes in consequence. Both of the bleachers were crowded, as well as the grandstand, and it finally became necessary to stop the sale of seats in the stand.
It seems that the day before, persons were refused fifty-cent tickets, as the places were all sold, and they afterward had to buy seventy-five-cent seats.
The grandstand has one thousand seats and a certain number of reserved seats. If the seats in the stand proper are sold, then ticket men must refuse other would-be purchasers or sell them seventy-five-cent seats.
The crowd yesterday was the largest that has ever gathered in the grounds and they were well taken care of. For the next games, President Isenberg will have additional bleachers built to accommodate the crowd."
"Many of the press members had to stand and take notes, the newspaper reservation being crowded with people who had no business there.
"Many of the press members had to stand and take notes, the newspaper reservation being crowded with people who had no business there.
The Santa Claras played a vigorous game in the face of an unfavorable score and played their hardest to the very end.
A. Shafer of the Claras is perhaps the best college shortstop in the country. New York, Philadelphia and Chicago have been after him. M. Shafer of the same team is a cousin of his.
Grif. Kennedy was suffering from a badly bruised hand yesterday.
Friene got a nasty smash in the ear at the end of the game form one of Leslie's deliveries. It laid him out for a while.
The Santa Claras have not shown their true form yet. Their California record makes them out players right enough."

"Another record-breaking crowd"
Keio-Kam
"The game was marked by much kicking at the umpire's decisions"
"In the ninth, the Keios scored a couple and won the game, greatly to the delight of the crowd who cheered the little brown players to the echo when they came off the field."
Santa Clara - Pun

"Hampton for the Punahous did not twirl his usual game and his support was vile. A. Shafer made three star plays and was the hero of the afternoon.
Kia played a very pretty fielding game.
Friene for the Santa Claras pitched a very steady game.
Kennedy's home run was a long hit to the new bleachers.
Both Hoogs and Marcallino suffered from attacks of drowsiness, allowing five errors to creep in between them."
"With two men on bases Kennedy batted out a home run to the center garden, scoring Salberg and M. Shafer in addition to himself." Five of six runs made by Santa Clara came in sixth inning.
1908-7-19 "Santa Claras Slam the Saints and the Jewels Whitewash the Little Japs by 10-0 Score."

"Four thousand people witnessed two games of bush ball at the ball park yesterday. Neither game was good though the second was worse than the first. Had it not been for the presence of the Kanai Kilties with their cornets and loud-sounding cymbals the crowd would have fled long before the end of the second game."
"New bleachers which can accommodate 700 people have been constructed running from the new bleachers to the makai corner of the field and round the corner some way in a Waikiki direction. These bleachers were packed yesterday.
Since last week the press box has been kept clear of intruders, thanks the action of Paul Isenberg, and on Saturday and yesterday the arrangements were all that the newspapermen could desire."
Sacrifice hits for team only in summaries again.
"The Japs are as quick as cats in the field.
The Diamond Heads were simply fooling at the finish
Davis was prostrated by the heat before the game and ice was applied to his head.
Hundreds of plantation Japs witnessed the games.
The ump had a very off day.
There came near being a riot after the last game. To appease the clamoring Japs the Keios were allowed to enter a protest over some technical point which arose during the game.
Walker made a bad muff in the second.
The playing of the Lihue band was greatly appreciated. They played the kind of stuff the crowd likes and kept better time than Berger's hornblowers. The bandsmen arrived by the Kinau excursion yesterday morning and left for the Garden Isle last night. They are sure of an audience whenever they visit Honolulu again.
'Howler' Doyle announced that the Hawaii had been sighted and called for cheers. Three small, watery ones were given for the $20,000 tailender.
1908-7-25 preview. Diamond Head team pic.
Protest by Keios not allowed, but they will play Diamond Head again. Diamond Head will be allowed to keep stats from 10-0 game.
Keios: Captain T. Takahama, manager Washizawa
Abe is interpreter for Keios.
Due to unpleasantness last week there will be two umpires: Steere and Albright.
Jessup, manager of U.S.S. Milwaukee club.
Admission to games is 25/50 cents.
"There are numbers of people in Honolulu today who should be sorry that they did not go out to Ball Park yesterday, for they missed one of the finest exhibitions of pitching ever seen in the Islands.
"There was a rather slim youth who stood in the box, wound his left arm through the air and then allowed the ball to leave his hand with such force and accuracy that the Japanese bats were entirely unable to locate it. His name is Hart, and he pitched for the Punahous against the Keios. Not one single hit could the visitors score until the eighth inning. Then that clever little Abe walked up to the plate, looking hard through his spectacles, and swatted the ball scientifically into center-field. He ran like mad and just managed to reach first base before the ball touched Lyman's hands. If the hitting ability of the Puns had been on a level with their pitcher's work the score would have been very much larger. The Keios played good ball, in one way, for they kept their heads and continued fanning at the ball as hard as ever, no matter how many times it slipped by them."
Kam-Santa Clara was a see-saw game.
Reuter threw immaculate inning v. Santa Clara in fifth inning.
"There was one very pleasant feature about the afternoon at the park, There was the usual number of Japanese present and they showed no signs whatever of the dreadful 'boycotting' of the league which was threatened in the Japanese papers. This proves clearly that the Japanese people here, who are sportsmanlike enough to appreciate a good game of ball, are equally so when it comes to a matter of dispute. It is evident that they accept the recent ruling of the board of trustees and appreciate the friendly offices which prevailed on the Diamond Heads to play the game again."
wetness made ball & grass slippery
"The sixth gave a notable instance of Hart's peculiar method. He would fan a couple of men out in quick succession and then lazily walk one just as a teaser."
I don't think ROEs were counted as at-bats.

Kilburn listed with 10 walks - one seems more likely.
Riverside picked team selected to play Santa Claras.
1908-7-26 "The first game, between the Keios and Diamond Heads, was a rather ragged affair, and there were unpleasant signs of ill feeling at certain stages of the game."
After questionable call made favoring Diamond Heads:
"Then there was a howl from the Japanese in the grandstand and bleachers. Excitable little men ran around gesticulating wildly, and one, who seemed to be a man of authority, waved vigorously at the bleachers and incited his little brown brothers to further noise.
"All this demonstration had the desired effect on the players and they began to sulk. They walked in, and for a time it looked as though they would refuse to play on, but sane advice prevailed, and the game continued."
Second game: All-Hawaiians 8, U.S.S. Milwaukee 3. Tied 3-3 until 11th when All-Hawaiians broke out with five runs, including a Barney Joy homer.
Leslie, who threw six innings in first game, pitched all eleven in second and did very nicely.
"There was an unfortunate duet of accidents in the sixth of the second game, both Fort and Davis being hit on the ear by the ball. Fort stayed at his post, but Davis was forced to retire, as he was bleeding badly and the pain was intense." Davis = All-Hawaii catcher, Fort = Milwaukee catcher.
Jack Vannatta played for Ewa in loss to Honolulu Plantation.

Captain Farm is very strong and a good sportsman. Quietly dignified.
CAC's Sing Chong is now w/ big league.
Keios and Diamond Heads practised yesterday.
Various folks express opinion that if the proposal suggested in yesterday's Advertiser of Keio v. CAC and Vierra's All-Stars of Riverside League v. Santa Clara games should come about, they would be very well attended. Enos Vincent, Kalanianaole League president, thinks that the biggest crowd in Honolulu baseball history would attend."
Santa Claras will make trip to Hilo next Tuesday. Will visit the volcano and play a game or two.
Admission for Saturday's baseball is 25 and 50 cents. Reserved seats are 25 cents extra. (By my reading.)
1908-8-01 (preview) Willie Ladd, star youth, (15) died. Stepped on glass and cut his foot during last Saturday's game and told no one. Died of blood poisoning early yesterday morning.

Hart, St. Mary's boy, is sick and unable to play. Castle is coach of the Punahous.
"Burns is at Hilo but is expected to arrive aboard the Manua Kea this morning and will be on hand to stop the short ones."
"Everybody hopes to see the little Japanese boys find the ball more often with their bats than they have been doing. If they could only hit a little harder they would be a very hard team to beat, for their fielding is always sure and steady and their headwork unexceptionable. If Kanki goes on first he wants to come up with the same air of determination that he did against the Diamond Heads last Sunday, then perhaps the rest of his team will follow his example."
C.A.C. issue challenge to Santa Claras, which is accepted.
1908-8-01 Kams played listlessly and Keio beat them. Second game, Santa Clara v. Punahou, was "fast and snappy, and made up for the dullness of the first event."
"Then little Kanki came up with his usual brimming energy of manner and smiled very cordially when Dick Reuter walked him"
Abe wears glasses
Lyman made fantastic play on bunt.
Standings listed.
Pacifics and Starlights will play for Seaside League championship today at Aala Park. Scheduled in morning so will not conflict with triangular series.
Minor teams requested to send in scores.
1908-8-02 "Two of the snappiest, fastest games ever seen at the park were played yesterday afternoon, and the fairly good-sized crowd of fans went crazy with delight."
"The Keios won their game by team work, by keenness, by following signals and by a wonderful improvement in their batting. They deserved every run they made."
Higo showed speedy base-running in eighth. Soares tried to catch Higo off first base but his throw flew "into the wilds of rightfield." Higo flew around the bases: "Sprint is hardly the word for it, he seemed to fly, and hit only one or two of the high places on the way."
After the overthrow in Higo incident:
"Barney Joy at right field went after the ball as it reached the foot of the benches lined along the fence. Barney's spirit was very willing but his flesh, instead of being weak was too strong. There is a physical reason for Barney's being unable to stoop with the greatest ease in the world, and the big man humped himself up and hunted that ball till he looked like nothing so much as a baby elephant digging up roots with its trunk."
"The efforts of brass-lunged Byrnes and iron-tongued McKenzie were very effective and they soon began to get Leslie rattled. The latter really pitched a good game, but he paid too much attention to the noise and failed to get the usual curve on his balls." Bill Chillingworth described as "coolheaded youngster."
"Koyama was the hero of the Keios. He made four hits, every one of them just when they were needed and all of them in different places. The first one went to right field, the second one to left, the third one to far center and the fourth was placed neatly between third and short stop where there was nobody to get in the way of the ball.

The first one went to right field, the second one to left, the third one to far center and the fourth was placed neatly between third and short stop where there was nobody to get in the way of the ball.
"Fukuda pitched a heady game for the Japs and was never rattled for a minute. The rest of the team played up to him and the little brown men did some things to the hard-working Saints, that were several shames to see."
Keio only got one hit besides Koyama's four.
"The fact of the matter is that both the Santa Claras and the Keios have been rapidly improving owing to the practise they get during the week. Our local boys are unable to turn out for very regular practise and so the visitors have that much bulge on them. The improvement in the Keios' play has been nothing short of wonderful and the little men have shown the spirit of true sportsmen by being undismayed by early reverses and bucking up harder than ever until they have won two hard games in two days."
Standings given.
Starlights beat Pacifics 12-4 at Aala Park for first series championship. Louis Ball k'd 14 - if he "keeps his curves in condition and stays by that gait, there is no doubt that he will be heard of in higher circles before very long."
Ad for 8-02 game (?)
Honolulu Plantation has won three straight games. A planters' league may be organized.
1908-8-08 (preview) A proposal: Keios should play C.A.C. at Aala park. "Every member of the Japanese and Chinese population would turn out to root and it is safe to say that, with all of its attendance records, Aala park would go the limit in this case."
1908-8-08 Terrible second game. It was supposed to be picked nines of Diamond Head-Punahou v. Kamehameha-St. Louis, but no Diamond Heads and their places had to be filled by Santa Claras who had already played a hard game and were still feeling effects of voyage. Very dull, listless game. It was supposed to be the most exciting of the season.

Santa Claras were a bit off in first game, but still beat Keios 9 to 4.
Abe and Art Shafer both made very pretty catches.
Vannatta Combination 3, Castle Combination 1.
"The fact is that none of the players seemed to care a whoop whether they played or not. As the Advertiser has pointed out before, this is not what pleases the fans. These latter out up to see the games, and while it is admitted that the players are amateurs, this does not detract from their responsibility to do the best they can when they go into the light of publicity on the diamond. Nobody on the field seemed to take any interest, and a much faster and keener game can be seen on any of the bare lots where the players are shoeless and have three bats and one ball between them."
Teams combined for only three errors.
Reuter k'd 12 and won.
Reuter k'd 12 and won.
For tomorrow:
St. Louis have been practising hard all week to meet Santa Claras.
"The second game will certainly be interesting for the little men from Japan have played such a consistently good game all through that any game in which they take part is worth watching. The Diamond Heads are crippled but they gave the right spirit if they will give it a little encouragement and we are likely to see one thundering fine exhibition of ball this afternoon."
Poem about Santa Claras as being sailors now.
1908-8-09 "Banzai forty different ways for the little Keios and their great ally, Jack Doyle. Between them they tied the Jewels to a big balloon and sent it way up in the air, where it burst and dropped the poor Diamond Heads all over the field.
"After the game Jack's army of well-trained rooters crowded on to the field and, amid the waving of Keio flags, the players were cheered to the echo until the cheerers were forced to run for the cars or walk home."
"As long as the Japs were at the bat it was impossible to hear oneself think such was the energy and volume of the rooting from bleachers and grandstand. Jack Doyle was in charge of the first base bleacher which was crowded with Japanese. He stood on the railing and led the yells in proper polyglot style. Not satisfied with this, he arranged a system of return yells from a crowd of their countrymen in the grandstand, and the tremendous waves of noise rolled back and forth across the plate."
Higo called "the boss base-stealer of a champion base-stealing aggregation."
"The band did itself proud. It started with a real new tune on Saturday and was so elated at this that it repeated it at every opportunity yesterday, playing a few bars between innings and continuing until that tune was finished, then it would start all over again. Some unduly optimistic fan said that he expected we would have another new tune this season, but he probably forgot what he was saying in the excitement of applauding the Keios.
"It was a great afternoon and every fan who was not out at the park has good reason to feel sorry for himself. Let those fans who were there spread the glad news so that the third base bleachers will not be so glaringly empty nor the grandstand such a hollow void in future."
Only two runs in St. Louis - Santa Clara game came in second inning. Both Joy and Kilburn were in fine form.
"As soon as Sasaki started toward the plate [to lead off the bottom of the first] Jack Doyle arose and led a mighty yell. There was no silence for the rest of that inning, nor indeed for the rest of the game."
Joy umpired second game - had been umpiring some games.
1908-8-12 Unofficial averages for Isenberg Cup Series. Not really clear how to determine winner of cup.
Two choices for Sunday's game: All-Hawaiis v. Santa Claras or All-Riversides v. Santa Claras. Last time Riversides were offered a game they refused due to not having enough time to prepare, but they have been practising for the second series and should be in good shape

Albert Akana has retired as captain of Chinese Alohas. His replacement is Ho Yup.
Jimmie Williams will replace Hampton in All-Hawaii line-up. "Jimmie will hold down third bag. He is a good sticker, and once held the title of "Never-Struck-Out Jimmie," but the third bag is not his usual piece of territory to guard."
1908-8-15 Punahou 4, St. Louis 1.
"There were sixty-nine people in the grandstand and bleachers at the ball game yesterday. Jack Doyle was also there and so we may there were about a hundred and nineteen, as our grand rooter is always good for half a hundred."
About tomorrow's game:
"Let us hope that the bleachers will be at any rate decently covered and will not shout aloud their nakedness to the players."
1908-8-16 The umpire, Arnold, was terrible.
"It cannot be said that he favored one side for a moment. His decisions were delightfully impartial, and the humor of the thing struck the players so that they forebore to even howl. But the bleachers looked at things differently, and the hundred or so fans on the bleachers stated loudly for all the world to hear exactly what they thought of him and his antecedents."
Santa Claras 5, All-Hawaiis 0.
"There was joy in the hearts of the Riverside fans yesterday for their own players were once more out on the Aala park diamond and they came in their thousands to welcome the reopening of the Riverside League.
"For many weeks now, Aala park has been a dreary and somber desert on Sunday afternoon for the big games were going at the ball park and the Riversiders had postponed their games in courtesy to the management of the baseball league.
"The entire diamond was circled by a thick bank of polyglot spectators the windows of the houses across the river were thronged with excited spectators. And what rooting there was. The mighty oceans of sound that rolled from the bleachers at the park when Jack Doyle took charge of the Japanese rooting squadron were as nothing compared to the tumultuous roars of applause that arose from the Aala field after each good play or clever piece of fielding at Aala yesterday.
"It was a celebration and a mighty paean to amateur baseball with free admittance, unpaid players and thousands of fans cheering their favorites, and the sight was one to impress the chance visitor with the wonderful hold that clean sport and the grand national game has on Honolulu."
Has boxes for both Riverside League games - a first, as far as I am aware.
"One of the novel and interesting features of the Palama-Aala game was the loud rooting done by some young women, who took the utmost interest in the outcome of the match. Aala Park prides itself in having the gentle sex root at the games."
"The Japanese Baseball League reopened its series yesterday with the usual double-header on the bare lot by the railroad depot. There was a large crowd of Japanese fans present, and both games were properly cheered to the rooters."
1908-8-22 (preview) A challenge to the fans: Are they poor sports who will let a dud game or two keep from the park, or real sportsmen?

"The Jewels were very anxious to play the Santa Claras again if they could obtain the loan of Vannatta and Burns to take the place of their two men who have left."
Has box for second game, and standings.
Starlights beat Pacifics in final championship game of Seaside League.
1908-8-22 "Bert Bower came back yesterday, and it must have done his heart good when Jack Doyle stood up and led three real, rousing cheers for him as he walked out on the field. There were not enough fans to make very much noise, but they made up in willingness what the cheers lacked in volume, and that little ovation told Bert more plainly than a column of hot air that the fans have been talking him over and come to the conclusion that he is the simon pure article when it comes to umpiring."
Johnny Williams, Punahou pitcher, was blanking the Santa Claras. Then came the seventh. The collegians scored seven in that fateful inning.
"When Williams stood up in the box he sized up well and he started to twirl in a way that had the visitors guessing. In fact, they actually did not reach second until the fourth inning."
"There were a few more [fans] to be seen on the bleachers than last Saturday, but not many more, and it is hoped they will turn out in larger quantities today."
"At positively the last appearance of the two greatest aggregations of ball players that ever visited the islands, the Jolly Japanese and the Surprising Santa Claras will disport themselves on the diamond today in a farewell of boundlessly beautiful ball-playing.
"There's something in the Circus Poster line for you. Maybe there is some way to make the fans sit up and take notice and a little advance against hyperbole may do it.
"There were about a hundred fans who took notice of the Advertiser's appeal yesterday and went out to the ball park. That is one hundred in addition to the original sixty and nine stayers. Today is the last chance for the fans to make good with themselves, the players and the league and, if they have any sportsmanship left in them, they will crowd the grounds out."
Pic of R.D. Mead and F.E. Steere "after their strenuous game with the one-armed player at Puunene."
1908-8-23 Eddie Fernandez lost the game in the ninth with a terrible blunder. Diamond Heads were leading 4-2 against the Keios going into the bottom of the ninth. After the Keios had scored two runs on a play, catcher Fernandez put the ball in his pocket and started walking disconsolate to the dugout, thinking the game had been lost when it was only tied. But while he was walking away Takahama scored the real winning run.
"Headed by the indomitable Jack Doyle the Japanese fans crowded onto the field and danced in the exuberance of their delight. The band came in with the Japanese national anthem it was an increased repetition of the celebration after the last game in which the Keios defeated the Jewels.
"Eddie's funny feat was only one of a multitude of features that marked the snappiest afternoon's ball we have had since the visitors have been here. The Santa Clara boys lost their last game as they did their first, two home runs were batted off two consecutive balls. Pat Gleason was a shining star and coached his team to victory in great shape. Eddie Burns umpired a great game and both Jack Doyle and big Byrnes were there with their voices."
Lappin and Art Shafer hit back-to-back homers in sixth. Bushnell gave up two triples, two homers, five walks, and five singles - and only three runs.
Bert Bower played third base for Diamond Heads, so A. Shafer and Burnes umpired first game. Burns umpired the second
Nigel Jackson, Riverside League's official scorer, umpired both games of Riverside doubleheader. His decisions almost caused a riot among the several hundred fans.
1908-8-29 "In the departure of Kim Tong Ho and John Woo on the Mongolia, the Chinese Athletic Club has lost two energetic members. They are going East to gain a higher education, one to enter Wisconsin State University, the other to enter Missouri University as a medical student."
"The two jolly ballplayers" Eddie Burns and Frank Hart also left on the Mongolia. They
"were covered with flowers and leis and seemed none too overjoyed to be leaving.
"were covered with flowers and leis and seemed none too overjoyed to be leaving.
"The Santa Clara boys had none the best of them when it came to farewells from the fair sex and there was a bevy of charming girls on the wharf to bid them adieu.
