1he Aamehamehas Play q Good Field
ing Game and Garry Off the Honor,
"A Large Attendance.
The weather was gloriously fine
on Saturday and this with good
game OF baseball in view attracted
an immense number of people to the
Makiki grounds. The grand stand
was crowded and the grounds were
lined with spectators, large pro-
portion of whom were in carriages.
1t was really the first game played
by the Honolulus, their opponents
being the Kamehamehas. The game
was very interesting one through
out and ended in a very different
manner to what number of people
thought it would. The fact of the
matter is the Kamehamehas are put
ting up fine game of ball this sea-
son, and no one will begrudge them
their victory. In the way of gentle
manly playing a wholesome lesson
can be learned from them.
The game was not won by the IA
mehamehas' good Darlington they
only made four safe hits-but by the
bad fielding of the Honolulus. They
made errors which were very costly.
Lucas was effective with the ball,
striking out no less than eleven of
the Kamehamehas. Wodehouse did
not play his usual game at all, while
Whitney's good batting powers
seemed to have deserted him. He
played a good second base and
Parker guarded the first bag in good
shape. The Kamehamehas all fielded
we'll. Mr.. w. A. Wall was the UNI
pire behind the bat and filed the
position in the most satisfactory
manner. Next time it is to be hoped
he will call out the strikes and balls
little louder SO that all can hear
him. M. X. Keohokalole watched
the bases.
A laughable incident took place
during the eighth innings. Two little
Portuguese boys both got hold of a
broken bat, and there was tussle as
to whom it should belong. Finally
the smallest one of the two threw off
his hat and settling to work with in
creased vigor, soon wrested the COW
eted prize from the other. The lat
ter losing the bat then showed fight,
but the little fellow handing the
broken bat to companion was quite
ready, and they punched each other
for q moment or two until driven off
the field.
