Thirteen men and five ball players
met on the diamond on Saturday and
fumbled the ball for an hour and a
half, except during two intermis-
sions, when they resolved themselves
into an ambulance corps to look after
the wounded. Last year the Homo
lulu club played some close games
with the "poor crippled Hawaiis," b"
and for that reason, perhaps, a large
number of people was present on
Saturday to see these two clubs play.
Jimmy Lemon, too, may have had
friends who wanted to see how he
would acquit himself in the box as
successor to Willie Lucas. There
may have been other reasons for the
crowd being there, but those who
went to see a good game of ball re-
NAMED to witness COMEDY of
Errors"
Palmer Woods had improved since
the game with the Crescents, and
surprised the champions during six
innings with the curve he put on the
ball twice Lucas left the plate in
utter disgust at having been famed
out. But there were surprises for
Woods. +. Wodehouse caught the
ball fairly on the stick and made a
two base hit, while Lucas, who had
been very "multy" at the bat, made
three bagger. Charlie Wilder was
an interested spectator and occupied
a position between second and third
bases where the short stop usually
stands. Several times he took on the
expression Of an anxious ball player,
but it ended in the facial demonstra-
ton. He bought book entitled,
"How TO Play Ball." on Monday,
and is spending his leisure hours this
week reading up. He has also en-
ployed small boy to throw balls at
him. Chan. Wilder did not play his
usual good game behind the bat,
though he got through The nine in
nings without passed ball.
Jimmy Lemon will, in time, make
a good pitcher. At the beginning of
the game he showed some nervous
ness, but it soon wore off. j. O..
Carter failed to make single volcano
hit, though no errors were scored
against him. Harry Whitney played
ball like a-well, not as he did few
seasons ago. Either the new PLAYERS
are very much better than those of
the old school or the "vets" are
retrograding. Who, two years ago,
would have expected Hay Wodehouse
to lead the score in the matter of
errors? He attributes all his bad
playing on Saturday to having been
struck in the back with ball during
the practice period. Accepting his
statement as correct, Hay does not
put up the same good ball as of old.
Conradt is an AL man in left field
and runs bases well until he gets tc
third, where his gait seems to be
afflicted with an impediment. The
real difficulty was not known until
Willie Lucas went to the base and
discovered that Simmons had hypno
tised him.
Palmer Woods and Thompson
might have beaten the Honolulu nine
had they received any support from
the men in the other positions, Oh
if Dams thought waves had beer
more active. Up to the end of th'
sixth innings the game was theirs
but the accidents to Prince Cupit
and Price were such as to weaker
the nine. Cupid was relieved b,
Friedenberg, whose bad iudgmen
, lost him the opportunity to put tw'
men out on fly balls. Thompson, a
, short stop, is faithful player, ant
can give points to any other man il
the league in the same position. Hi
work as "coach" is excellent and i
of great assistance to the base run
, ners. The double plays by Thomp
son, Keohokalole and Pryce AM
Thompson and Keohokalole wer
features of the game.
Next Saturday the Kamehameha
l and Hawaiis play their first game c
S the season. Owing to the accident
TO Pryce and Kalaaianaole of the Ills
waits, their nine will he as follows
Woods, p. Prycs, C, ; Keohokalolt
! Id. ; Simmons, 2b. Thompson, SIS.
y Friedenberg, 3b. ; Rosa, r.f. (; Lave
lave, CT, and Dan, If.
d After the game last week the me
e met and decided to practice ever
q afternoon this week in the hopes {
S defeating the students.
