Default Japanese translation help 1908 postcard

Just got this 1908 postcard from Japan, picturing a Santa Clara College baseball player. If anyone can help with a translation of the writing, I'd be grateful.

The seller, from Japan, told me that the writing says: "Santa Clara University vs. Keio University Baseball Game at Hawaii, 1908.

A fellow collector used Google translate and came up with: "Memorial Great Battle Baseball: Ralaritansa National and American Army Expedition"

Personally, I hope it really says Memorial Great Battle Baseball... but it probably does not.
