assembled at the Makiki grounds to wit
ness the decisive game between the
Honolulus and Stars for the League
Championship on Saturday last. Sweet
strains from the Hawaiian Band stole
upon the excited spirits of the interested
| spectators and reduced the chewing of
gum to scientific harmony. The game
was worthy in every way of the generous
and impartial applause bestowed, aud
was characterized by vigor both in
batting and fielding never yet seen on
the grounds. Weakness and hippo
| droming features of some former games,
were conspicuous by their absence. Al
| though the batteries of both sides never
showed off to much advantage, yet the
sharp batting displayed called into
action the fielding ability OF every player.
THE GAME
opened at 8 80 p. m. with II. Wodehouse
of the Honolulus at the bat. He sent
the sphere end over end to Overend who
accepted it with becoming gratitude. G.
Lucas gained first. Whitney failed of
the same goal owing to the connivance
of B. Baldwin and Perry. Freidenburg's
two-baser brought Lucas home, and
Parker flew to Kinney who had privily
laid aside his pumps. Baldwin led off
with two bases and Kinney offered an
| amendment TO left field which enabled
Baldwin to complete the circuit. Chan.
Wilder went out at first by the assistance
of g. Lucas. Kinney scored. Overend
flew to Whitney and E. Wodehouse
closed spirited innings by going out on
an attempt to steal second
SECOND INNINGS.
A. Lucas and Low were disposed of at
first by E. Wodehouse and B. Baldwin,
and Dat secured a goose egg by popping
up foul to Chan. Wilder. Chas. Wilder
reached second owing to a misappre-
hension of Capt. Parker's attitude by
Freidenburg. E. Baldwin struck out.
Perry made first and Chas. Wilder pur-
sued the even tenor of his way home.
Carter was touched after three unavail-
ing efforts to collide with Lucas curves.
B. Baldwin flew to A. Lucas.
THIRD INNINGS.
w. Lucas was hit to first, made
couple of adroit thefts of bases and came
home on H. Warehouses; acquisition of
| first. Hay stole second but was well
coined at third with great cordiality by
| his brother q. Lucas was deity cap
tured on the fly by the gent with, or
rather without, pumps. Whitney simply
got to first in time to appreciate Chas.
| Wilder's accurate throwing. Kinney
went out at first by w. Lucas. Parker
accepted Chan. Wilder's daisy-cutter,
and Overend's fly was caught in Whit
ney's web.
FOURTH INNINGS.
Freidenberg and Parker lost first
through E. Wodehouse and B. Baldwin,
and A. Lucas gave the atmosphere the
third after which the ball was in the
catcher's hands-Parker held a grand
reception at first in honor of E. Wode
house, Chas. Wilder and E. Baldwin,
being attended on the occasion by Whit
ney, Lucas and Whitney.
FIFTH INNINGS.
The downfall of Low, Dat and w.
Lucas at first resulted from the efforts OF
E. Baldwin and Chas. Wilder couple
OF times. Perry caressed the atmos-
phere, Carter scared to Dat and B. Bald
win found w. Lncas waiting his arrival
at first.
SIXTH INNINGS.
Wodehouse clawed frantically thrice
at space-Chas. Wilder disappointed G..
Lucas hope of reaching first. Whitney
reached first and subsequently arrived
at third when he was left, owing to E..
Baldwin's disposition of Freidenberg at
first. Kinney's slow grounder eluded
the aggregated talent of w. Lucas, G.
Lucas and Whitney. Chan. Wilder
struck for home run but reached sec
ond only on account of the ball being
blocked. Kinney, however, returned to
his long-lost sandals. Oyerend struck
to Freidenberg who fielded him out az
first kindly allowing Wilder to reach
third. E. Wodehouse struck sharply to
w. Lucas who made feint of throwing
to first and caught Chan. Wilder be-
tween third and home. He was run
down in fine style by II. Wodehouse the
feet-footed Mercury CT the League
