A BIG SURPRISE.

Last Saturday witnessed the most
exciting as well as the best played
game this season. The match was
between the Kamehameha (1890
champions) and Hawaii. Although
the game had few onlookers, yet the
enthusiasm, which reigned supreme,
was of much larger growth.
The game broke loose at $3.50
O'Clock with the Kamehameha in the
box in the pink of condition, looking
redoubtable enough to withstand the
mightiest of the mighty. They had
two new players 10 the infeld, but
were not by any means crippled, for
the debutants made some very
pretty play.
Captain Pahau, of the Kameha-
meha, defended the initiation bag
With might only equal to his bel
loving, harsh voice, monstrosity of
sound enough to scare the Hawaiis
off the field. Kauhane succeeded
Pahau as guard of second bag, and
young BRIDGES held third base. The
other positions were defended by the
regular team.
The Hawaiis put on the same team
they had in the last game in good
fettle. Capt. Keohokalole trotted
bis boys out in the field in the prac-
tise in fine style. They made good
showing up to the eighth inning,
when they went all to pieces, giving
the Kamehamehas majority of five
runs. Palmer Woods and Tommy
Pryce were the battery of the team,
and won the admiration of the sports
by their effective work. The battle
throughout, taking all in all, was a
well-merited victory to the "spoils-
men," They did not do any batting
till the ninth inning, when they
started streak of leather hunting
which ratified the Kamehamehas and
"tied" them so fast that they could
not get move ON In the tenth in
ming. "That's what" said the
Rams in the first half of the ninth
innings. $50 say you," answered
the Hawaiis.
In the ninth inning when the Rams
had the game and several Of the Ha-
waii players had put on their buds.
Thompson started the sphere rolling
by safe hit and was brought home
by a beautiful hit by Holt. Holt
reached the plate assisted by Woods,
the latter coming h me on safe by
Rosa. Rosa then displayed feat
OF running never perhaps seen on
the diamond before, making circuit
from first to home on two-base hit
by Pryce. Pryce reached the plate
on safe hit by Dan, who died on
third base on j. Parker's ineff, ctive
effort to smite the leather smither-
Gems. The game at this Stage
being a tie, an extra inning had
to be play ed. ''Tenth innings,
Kamehamehas at the bat," shouted
the scorer The first man bit the dust,
second succumbed at second bag,
third had hole In his bat. And,
oh, what fall was there, We students
of the "ball art!' Not sound was
heard and not even a tin horn dis
turbed the ripples of the atmosphere.
Hawaiis look confident as they en- er
the box. "What! Did Morris hit
the ball? No, cannot bel" exclalm
several. Safe on first, says Umpire
Lockwood. Safe on second again, he
excIaims. Thompson enters the box.
with blood in his eye, he picks up
willowy willow, he feels TO see if it
is all there and no hole in it, and
then with a mighty swish sends the
sphere twirling clear over the left
fielder's head, bringing Morris to the
plate safe and sound. Oh, mamma,
it was sad and sorrowful spectacle,
TO see the Hams walk off the field
wearing detected looks and their feet
in their pockets.
Crowell, center field of the Kane
hamehas, made several brilliant
catches, especially in the fifth inning
when he froze to the sphere in
running catch in fine style. Holt
occupying the same position in the
Hawai- team duplicated Crowell's
catch in the sixth inning.
The kamehameha club have two
players who ought to be put in
glass case, Baker and Harbottle, their
antics in the field being ludicrous
and awfully funny. Bakers physique
and artistic sweeps of the hand
would make "Old King Cole" weep
and the ''dry hundred to cry out for
''more beer, more beer!"
The Hawaiis by their victory have
advanced the Honolulus a rung up
the ladder, towards the champion
ship goal, where Spalding's silver
cup awaits claimant. Now that
they have won, perhaps they can
afford to get Holt and Lemon uni
forms to correspond with the other
players.
Following is the official score:
