BASEBALL.
Oceanics, Is: Married Men, 10.

The game on Saturday between the
| Oceanlcs and Married Men was not
largely attended, probably owing to the
impression that it would only be repe-
t1tlon OF the previous Saturdays game,
when the Honolulus were defeated so
| dlsastrously. But the Married Men only
lost the game after a hard fight, and
| then by one run. Had not Rosa missed
a fly in the ninth innings the game
would have been theirs. Wall was
| batted quite freely throughout the game.
| Some of the decisions given by the UNI
pire were not quite satisfactory, though
there was no protest. The Married
Men are certainly to be congratulated on
the close game they played. The
Oceanics were first to the bat. Moeho-
nua, ThurstOn and Grossman made
base hits ; Jones and Baldwin got their
bases on balls, and aided by errors of
Wilder, Parker and Levey, and passed
balls, the Oceanics scored five times
The Married Men were put out in one,
two, three order. In the second in
nings Scott reached second on tumble
by Lishman Kinney and Grossman
each made base hits, and by Dowsett's
error and couple of passed balls, two
runs were made. For the Married Men,
Chan. Wilder, Dowsett, Spencer and
Charley Wilder made base hits. A series
Of passed balls, with wild throw by
Kinney, assisted the Married Men to
score four runs. In the third, Baldwin
reached first on Burgess muff of a fly;
Brown and Kinney hit safely to first
Scott hit for two bases, and three runs
were scored The Married Men fol-
lowed by making five runs, Lishman,
Rosa, Burgess, Dowsett and Charlie
Wilder scoring, being assisted by errors
of Baldwin and Thurston and a very
wild throw from Scott. The Oceanics
made one more run in the fourth inning
by Grossman taking his first on error by !
Charlie Wilder, stealing second, and !
coming home on another error by Will |
der. Jones and Brown went out on
strikes and Wall at first The Married |
Men were equal to the occasion, and also !
made run. Levey hit safely to first, !
stole his second and third, and tailed on |
Rosa's out. Lishman, Rosa and Bur-
CESS were put out at first. The Oceanics !
were whitewashed in the fifth, while the |
Benedicts scored four times. Chan. and !
Charlie Wilder and Lishman each made |
two base hits Spencer took first on an
h. :, -
aided by Kinney's wild throw and |
passed balls, the Married Men, amid !
much excitement, led their opponents !
by three runs. The Oceanics scored |
twice in the sixth innings, Brown and !
Wall reaching the home plate. The |
Married Men were BANKED in this in
ming and also in the seventh, while the !
Oceanics added one more run, and made !
the score equal. In the eighth, the !
Oceanics were whiteWashed, and the !
Married Men again took the lead by
scoring a run. Burgess got the first on
an error by Moehonua, stole second, and
came home on hit by Wilder. The ex-
element was intense when the ninth
innings was commenced. For the
Oceanics, Kinney hit fly to left field,
which Rosa failed to reach, and came
home on Moehonua's home run. Thurs
ton, Grossman and Jones were put out
at first. The Married Men were put out
in quick succession, thus ending rather
close game.
Mr.. Davidson umpired the game. The
