fssaf13IU. "a team last year,
aFIs71-SSsY It was common
/ASsA8c.}-%y remark that
ASzasz szsssz.xszazs1S% their beautiful
G/T playing would
u prove of great
value to the local players. At the open
ing of the present still young season
the kamehamehas, holders of the chal-
lenge cup for 1890, seemed to be
alone in realizing the anticipation in
question. Apparently neither the
Honolulus nor the Hawaiis were in
1t, when pitted against the doughty
students OF kamehameha School.
This lugubrious conclusion was
proved to have been premature by
the manner in which the Honolulus
on Saturday gave the champions
nothing but goose eggs until the
eighth inning, then keeping them TO
the solitary run therein gained. At
the same time the checked champions
played such good game as to hold
their elated opponents down to the
two runs got III the first two innings.
There were but two errors TO be
! debited to the winners on this occa-
sion, while the five against the losers
were confined to two players.
The afternoon was fine, the at
tendance large, and the sympathetic
enthusiasm, in keeping with the
game, was better balanced than in
any of the previous matches. There
was no kicking, no changing OF men,
on the field, and murmuring in the
gallery against "close decisions"
was, in the few cases heard, doubt
less inspired by partiality. Base
runners on both sides probably real
ize more than ever since this match
that bases cannot be stolen nova
days with the facility once known on
the Honolulu diamond, and that
there is vigilance in the box and
behind the bat this season which
will not permit a great deal of dane
ing away from the bags. The Royal
Band was again in the grand stand,
keeping umpircs decisions from be-
ing known except from results. Be-
low is record of the game and Mr..
