third innings.
Wodehouse opened the game by safe

was obliged to run for second which he
OBTAINED by scratch. His score was
succeeded by three outs at first. The
nrst three batsmen of the Kamehame-
has saw first in dreams only. In the
second innings the Honolulus aided by a
sacrifice hitof Geo. Lucas and encour-
aged by some distinguished fumbling
and wild throwing on the part of Makai-
moku scored four more. AT this stage
things looked foggy for the students. In
the third innings however Chan Wilder
was forced by an injured hand to retire
to centre, Wodehouse took his place be-
hind the bat and Parker undertook the
defence of the primary bag. From this
time the game seemed to turn in favor of
the Kamehamehas. In the fifth innings
Lucas curves and shoots were treated
with the utmost disrespect by the stu
dents. The after maintained lead of
four up to the ninth innings. Desha,
Chas. Wilder and Parker obtained bases
and Wodehouse took his position at the
plate with the laudable intention of
bringing them in. A short hit forced
him to scrabble for first and forced
Desha out at home. 6. Lucas sacrifice
brought iChas. Wilder home and Whit
ney going out first terminated rather
exciting game.
The game was marked by heavy bat
ting. Meheula's pitching was without
effect in the first half of the game, but
puzzled his opponents in the latter half,
while the reverse was true of Lucas de-
livery. -
AS general thing it cannot be said
the Kamehamehas outplayed the Homo
lulus. The victory of the students may
be safely credited to Mahuka, whose
batting was simply ferocious and direct

record at the bat on Saturday has never
been duplicated in Honolulu. Subtract
his remarkable play from the ball put
up by the Kamehamehas and the re-
mainder is unworthy of much exultation
Neither nine appeared at its best. Hot
daisy cutters are not delightful objects to
pick up, and no game this season has
displayed such savage batting and
so much tried the pluck and
agility of the infield. Wode-
house captured a foul in the
third inning in fine style. In the sew

and stopped hot liner from q. Lucas
A scientific exhibition of Oriental iugg-
ling, accompanied by skillful pironatta,
terminated in the capture of the ball.
The scratch was vociferously applauded.
Speaking of covering ground reminds us
that the island of Oahu should be re-
served for Harry Whitney. The ADvER-
Users structures on grand stand playing
between acts are generally endorsed,
and the audience of Saturday evinced its
displeasure most emphatically at this
encroachment on its patience. Below is
the score:
