was played between the Honolulu and

old position as pitcher for the Honolulus

not quite as large as usual. The Homo
lulus started off well and kept it up,
batting Wall very freely, while very few
/ hits were made off Markham. In the
/ third innings J. l. Dowsett, Jr, while
batting a ball, fell and sprained his
shoulder. His place was taken by his
brother, Ed. Dowsett. During the game
the umpire, Mr.. B. f. Bishop, had some
very hard decisions to give, but ali were
/ entirely satisfactory. The excitement
