BASEBALL.
HONOLULU VS.. yANpAL1A.


On Saturday afternoon the Homo
lulu and Nandalia teams crossed
bats in what proved to he one of the
most exciting and closely contested
games of the season. Each club
presented its best players, and more
brilliant fielding or more daring
base running has never been witness
sed on the grounds.
Up to the seventh inning the
game seemed to be entirely in the
hands of the home team, the score
to that time standing to l, in its
favor. At the seventh inning, how
ever, Dame Fortune began coquet-
ting, and as result of her incon-
stancy, it required ten innings to
decide upon which team she smiled
most favorably. The Nandalias had
gotten the inside track, however,
and upon their hrows she placed the
laurcls.
At y little after $3.50 the game
began. The llonoluus having won
the toss, took the bat first. Hay
Wolchousc opened by securing 1st
base on balls. He was followed by
Geo. Lucas, who, making single
base hit, passed Wodehouse TO 3rd,
but went out himself on lst. Whit
ney now made a base hit for third,
sending Wodehouse home, and on n
wild throw, crossed the plate.
Markham went out on fly to Cos
tello on left field, and Low bit the
dust on a foul. For the Nandalias
Crane went out on a fly to left field.
Pickerell made two base hit, and
was sent home on Sweeny's three
base hit. Martin and Perkins
knuckled on strikes.
IN the second inning A. Lucas led
with base hit, securing 1st. Oat
followed with Il similar hit. Parker
went out at lst, from Perkins to
Martin. Wodehouse made base
hit. G.. Lucas sent the ball to right
field for base, and by Perkin' S
wild throw of the return ball, the
three safely crossed the home plate.
The Vandalias failing to score, the
game stood to l against them. In
the 3rd, 4th, 9TH and 9th innings,
neither team scored.
so dark and gloomy did things
appear for the Vandalias, that their
most ardent admirers gave up the
ghost of hope. With most commen-
dable spirit and grit they entered
the seventh inning. The Honolulus
failed to score. Carlin secured 1st
base by being struck by the pitcher.
Crane followed with n base hit, and
sent Carlin to second. Crane being
caught mapping, was thrown out by
Wodehouse. Pickerell made base
hit, passing Carlin to 3rd. Sweeney
followed with two bagger, sending
| both Carlin and Pickerell home
| making 2nd himself. Rourke by Z;
two bagger sent Sweeney over tho
< plate safely, but went out himself
e Costello struck out.
Inthe eighth inning the home team
again failed to score. For the Van
dallas, Mohler went to first, by be
ing struck by the pitcher, and b,
daring running stole second anC
third, and on a base hit by Pickerel
went home, tying the score. Th
excitement at this stage was beyon'
+. description. The spectators, b,
their yells and cheers, created per
II feet bedlam. In the ninth innin
6 neither team scored.
The Honolulus opened the tent
D inning by failing to score, their onl
v hits being three high flyers to 2
: base, centre field and left field, eac
q of which being easily caught by tn
q Nandalias. For the Vandalias Mol
# Ter, after an unsuccessful attempt
&c bunt the ball, knocked base hit
J. left field and daringly stole secon
q and third, and on long hit b
n Crane to left, went home, securin
for his team the last and winnin
run. The game here ended, IL
hard earned victory belonging to IL
Nandalias by a score of to 3.

if The work of the two batteric
e, Perkins and Crane, and Parker al
H. Wodehouse was simply wonderfu
and repeatedly during the gar
evoked outbursts of applause.
