TIE COLLEGE BOYS WIN,
They Take the Game That Gives
Them the championship
For This Season.

There were enough errors, hits
and runs made on last Saturday to
give two clubs the championship,
bat as only one club can hold first
place, the pennant went to Kameha-
mehas because they won it. The
game was interesting and at times
very exciting and was played to one
OF the largest audiences seen on the
grounds this season.
The Kamehamehas played splen-
did game throughout and batted the
ball like fends at times: hits, sin
giles, doubles and triples were as
thick as collectors at the Govern
ment building on pay day.
They commenced their betting in
the first inning and continued it
until there was not curve from the
arm of Angus that was not straight
ened out.
The college boys played lively ball
and at times it was too much so as a
number of errors were scored against
them for lively throwing.
Meheula pitched winning ball; he
had the required speed and excel
lent control; he was not hit too much
until the ninth inning when the
Crescents commenced to bat, bat the
squirt did not last long. The work
of Baker behind the bat was clean
and his active movements prevented
many a player from reaching second
base on steal.
Cummings, the short stop, covered
his position with glory to himself,
and ran the bases like deer. Ma
huka played his usual good game,
and hit the ball for two singles and
two doubles, pretty good record for
one day.
THE CREsCENTs.
The Crescent boys lost heart in the
first inning when their opponents
scored two runs; they played in a
listless way until the third inning,
when they tailed once. The club
and their friends in the audience
then commenced to awaken, and for
the next few innings there was more
noise than one would hear on Smith
street when a che ia drawing is an
nounced.
Angus pitching was of very yell
low hue and lacked two desirable
qualities, speed and control; his
playing otherwise was of the poorest
kind; he could not bat, and in addi-
ton allowed two runs to be scored
by stupid work, one was wild throw
to first, and the other tally was made
on his failure TO stop returned ball.
If the Crescents possess a change
pitcher, Saturdays game was a good
opportunity to utilize him.
The other boys worked hard, but
when nine men make thirteen errors
in nine innings there is very little
chance of them coming off victorious.
Several times it looked very much
like the sec. being tied, as the Ores
cents had Len on bases, but as a rule
d weak batter would come up and
always fail to make the needed hit.
Center Fielder Thrum played we'll,
his work with the stick was excellent,
as he made two base hits and in the
fourth inning he distinguished him
self by making hit for three bases,
Lishman, the young man who
heads the ADVERTISERS voting contest,
made one poor throw to home and
allowed a man to score, but other
wise he put up quality of ball that
stamps him as one of the best play
ers in the league. He made timely
hits and played third like veteran
Soper did we'll, while the song and
dance artists, Messrs. w. Wilder and
Hart, were little off color at times
The Crescent boys were out of luck
on Saturday, but the sentiment Of
the grand stand was that the show
ing they have made this year with
the major league clubs is remarkable
and the members have cause to con
graduate themselves even if the
championship is not theirs. It may
come to them next season.
The score:
