Dimaggio Historians - Need your help

Last night I happened across a ticket stub from Honolulu Stadium dated September 3, 1944 in a pile of ephemera I had purchased some years ago. I did some quick research out of general interest to see what teams were playing in that game (assuming it was some Hawaiin college team) and was more intrigued when I started to read that this was exactly the time when Joe Dimaggio was playing for the 7th Army Air Force in Honolulu and that they regularly played at Honolulu Stadium. I spent a couple of hours last night online trying to find any schedule information about this date and at that Stadium, but information seems to be scarce. I do have information about him playing in an exhibition all-star game on September 4, 1944 but that's the closest info I can find. If anyone has any information that would help determine whether Joe D. did play on Sept. 3, 1944 in Honolulu Stadium I would greatly appreciate it.
