The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-07-22

is fast approaching an end-only five
games remaining to be played-the
two teams seemed determined to
make strenuous efforts to win.
The Unknowns played their usual
members, while the Stars had two
new men-Percy Lishman and Don
aid Ross. Lishman is we'll known as
crack third baseman and played
with last years Crescents, Ross being
member of the same club the pre-
vious year. The former recently re-
| turned from school at Stanford Uni
| versity and played under difficulties,
having had no practice since leaving
Honolulu. Ross, who is rated as
good all round player, was not at his
best during Saturdays game, but
| done as well as could be expected
under the circumstances.
Both pitchers were batted in every
direction, mo~C heavy hits being
credited during the game than during
the season. Pryce, Aiwohi and
Willis for the Unknowns hit to the
fence several times. Cancel, Harry
Wilder and Lishman done equally as
good stick work for the Stars. There
were errors, fumbles, muffs and bad
fielding galore on both sides, but the
game was hotly contested and inter-
esting throughout. The Unknowns
were, before Saturdays contest, two
games ahead for the pennant, with
the Stars second and necessarily the
Kams last. Captain Cancel wore a
determined expression, and, with
other members of the Stars, worked
with will to wrest the laurels from
Captain Thompson and his so far
champion players.
The game opened with the Stars at
the bat. Willie Wilder led off by
being hit with the first ball pitched,
got second on Hart's safe hit and
scored on Cancels long center fly to
the fence. Hart and Cancel crossed
home plate, giving the Stars three
tallies in the first half.
Willis, Duncan, Clark and Pryce
scored for the Unknowns in the last !
half.
The Stars added three runs in the |
second. The bases were filed when |
Cancel came to bat. He hit slow |
grounder to second, which was fun |
bled by Pryce, followed by high |
throw over first base, allowing Willie |
Wilder, Harry Wilder and Donald |
Ross to score.
In the last half of the second the |
Unknowns managed by good luck to |
score one run, followed by q goose |
egg, one, one, five, failing to make |
run in the remaining three innings, |
making total of y.
The Stars scored one in the third,
then two, one, one, two, the last two |
innings being blanks, aggregating 13.
From the second inning to the sixth
it appeared as if the Stars would have
walk-over. They must have
thought so, for play was devoid of
coaching, howis, ETC., except from |
those in the grand stand who favored
the Stars.
When the Unknowns came to bat
in the last half of the sixth inning the
Stars were four runs ahead. By strong
batting and aided by poor fielding of
the Stars, Duncan, Woods, Clarke, All
wohi and Pryce tailed in succession.
This made the UnknOwns one
ahead and elected loud and
long applause from the grand
stand, a gang of small boys on the
mauka side taking advantage of the
opportunity to make hideous noises
with horns of all sizes. The audience
shifted about and changed positions.
From that moment the greatest inter
est and excitement prevailed and I'm
known stock took a sudden rise.
With Captain GanZells cry, "Play
ball verybody," Carter came to bat
in the seventh inning and hit
for two bases; Ross and Willie
Wilder went out; Hart made safe hit
and scored Carter, coming home from
a lorg slide at third on passed ball,
increasing tie Stars figures by two
and one run ahead. Then the Star
adherents yelled, hOwled, hOoted and
stamped. The enthusiasts cheered
nobly and all enjoyed the incidental
excitement.
Neither side scored after this, the
Stars being victorious by score Of l3
to y.
During the eighth inning Umpire J.
w. Winter called Aiwohi out at
third for running more than three
feet out of the prescribed line in order
