created much talk among base
ballists and also among the hum
dreds of admirers of a game which
is gradually and steadily winning
the honor of being called "our ma
tional game" was played at the
Makiki diamond on Saturday af-
ternoon between the Honolulus and
the Kamehamehas, the crack rival
teams in the Hawaiian Base Ball
League.
The interest the public is show
ing in the game was manifested by
their presence last Saturday The
grand stand was nearly filled with
lovers of athletic sports. A regi-
ment from the Kamehameha
School occupied benches in the
right wing of the grand stand,
while the pupils of the Kawaiahao
Seminary and their teachers were
given places of honor in the stand
exactly behind the home plate.
The girls went out presumably to
encourage their friends of the Ka-
mehameha School, and thus urge
them on to victory, but they were
greatly disappointed as their favor
lite players succumed to the superior
plays of their gigantic opponents.
The Kamehamehas first took the
bat, cheers accompanying them as
Mahuka went to strike. He di-
rected his fly to Conradt. Kauka
next sent the ball over the second
base, receiving loud applause. The
others made safe hits but they
were put out while trying to reach
the other bases.
Willie Lucas pitched for the
Honolulus and he served the ball
with great skill. He allowed,
however, four of the Kamehamehas
during the game to take the:Y
bases, but Meheula scored the
same number. Lucas was credit
ed with z strikeouts, while Meheula
had 6 and Mahuka l..
The Honolulus then went to bat,
the usual honors being accorded
them. J. H. Wodehouse got the
first base on balls, while H. M.
Whitney was promoted to first by
being struck by one Of Meheula's
in-curves. Whitney scored a run
through Pahau's bad throwing.
Pahau, however, earned a name by
assisting in two double plays to
first. The Honolulus scored A runs
in the first inning.
Phillip Davis opened the second
inning for the Kamehamehas. The
audience was somewhat astonished
to find him there, as they believed
he had been badly injured during
the week. When seen after the
game concerning his condition, the
great all-round player replied that
he was not feeling very well, but
his head would feel much better if
the Kamehamehas had won.
The Kamehamehas were allowed
to make a solitary run in the fifth
innings, the Honolulus taking the
greatest precautions not to give
them a run during the first or the
latter part of the game. S. Mahuka,
the famous first base man of the
Kamehamehas did very creditable
work at his base, for which he was
admired In the eighth innings he
supplanted Meheula, and pitched
an excellent finish, the Honolulus
failing to score that innings.
Baker is as good a catcher as
anyone could wish to see. Hi:
style of catching behind the bat ii
splendid and his throws to second
magnificent. Philip Davis can fiji
the first base as well as Mahuka
The other members of the Kane
hamehas did noble work, but they
did not "catch on" to Lucas pecu
liar throws.
Chan Wilder's work behind tn
bat was his best. H. Wodehous
made up for the bad plays OF
week ago by his daisy catches @
foul balls. J. o. Carter sent
three-bagger over centre field
That's a chance for the Volcano,
echoed from the grand stand, bu
his career was cut short by Luca
being struck out. The Honolulu
were ably seconded by the rest
the players, who, one and all, WI
share the honors of Saturday
victory.
The game was the best playe
this season, all the players beir
in good form and doing noble VOL
for their respective teams. The r
ceipts amounted to Sis, the higI
est gate this season.
Following is the score:
