II - the Philadelphia
and Honolulu
teams took place Saturday afternoon
on the AIakiki baseball grounds.
Although the grounds were muddy
and the weather showery, a good
sized crowd witnessed the game.
There was a decided improvement
over the first game in the playing OF
the Philadelphia men which must be
attributed to steady practice during
the last two weeks. This fact was
more noticeable in the first than in
the second half of the game. The
Honolulu team played the usual hard
game, which has always been a
browning feature with them.
The first half was by far the most
exciting and better played. In the
second the boys were tired out, due to
the constant ploughing through the
muddy ground.
The first play OF any importance
was beautiful run made by Parker,
of the Honolulus, around the right
end, The interference was fine in
this play, as throughout the game.

kicked by Singer. Score: Philadel-
phia, o; Honolulu, 6.

deal of scrapping back and forth.
Crane and Parker INDUCED in q double
pass, and the former made a clean
touchdown. Goal was kicked by
Singer. Score: Philadelphia, o; Ho-
nolulu, II.
In the third play Olmstead was
knocked out; but after few seconds
he pluckily went at the game again.
There were two or three good scrim-
images. Philadelphia obtained the
ball, but lost it TO Honolulu. Homo
lulu lost the ball to Philadelphia on a
tumble. Reese secured the ball and
made the first touchdown fOrPhiladel-
phia. No goal. Score: Philadelphia,
4; Honolulu, u.
The last play cheered on the Phila.
delphia boys, who worked like tigers
to pile up the score. Crane OF the Ho-
nolulu secured the ball, ana making q
run around the right end, passed it to
Lawrence, who went Tying around
the left end. Chris Holt was given
the ball, and making a run around the
right end, delivered it to Parker, who
made long deerlike run and secured
another touchdown. Singer failed to
kick goal. Score: Philadelphia, 4; Ho-
nolulu, Is.
The fifth play found Philadelphia
still bucking away for another touch
down. Time after time Honolulus
line was forced to retreat before the
navy men. Honolulu was doing the
hardest kind of up hill work, but all
this seemed To be OF no avail, for
Rooney secured the ball and went
through center for touchdown.
OImstead's run around the left end in
this play was one of the features of tie
game. ShaTkey kicked goal. -ScOIe:
Philadelphia, 10; Honolulu, IS
A little playing back and forth was
INDUCED in, but nothing gaiued oil
either side. Time was called ia a few
minutes after the last touchdown.
In the second half Philadelphia
started off with the ball, Olmstead
making n fiue play by easily passing
his opponents. Reese was slightly in
jured in this play by falling, but soon
recovered. OlmsteAd lost the ball to

Parker Singer secured the ball and
made a pretty touchdown. No goal. !

Philadelphia made no gain for quite
a little time. Crane secured the ball
and ran around the right end. Seeing
the Philadelphia men in hot pursuit,
he lodged in among his own men, who
guarded him well. The interference
was splendid, but Crane made touch
down. Singer tapped the ball for a
goal. Score: Philadelphia, 10; Hon
Olulu, 80.
Philadelphia lost the ball to Homo
lulu and Crane made another double
pass with Parker. Crane made a
touchdown. No goal. Score: Phila-
delphia, 10; Honolulu, 81.
Charlie Crane made a run, but got
mixed in the mud. There Was a great
rough and tumble tumble, but the ball
stiIl remained with Honolulu. Phila-
delphia made a good tackle and
brought Honolulu to her knees.
Singer made a good catapault kick
and Philadelphia secured the ball.
There was another promiscuous game
of hide and go-to-seek in the mud.
all to no purpose, for the whistle blew
and the game was at an end.
Three cheers were given for the
Philadelphia and the Honolulu boys
pinned their large white and red
chrysanthemums on their coat lapels
preparatory to the ride into town.
Two 'busses were on hand-one for
each team. 1t is needless to state
which made the greatest amount OF
noise on the way to town. People ran
to the streets to see what was taking
place and pleasantly waved their
hands when they found 1t was "only
the football team"
1t is to be regretted that there are to
be no more football contests between
the blueiackets and the town boys, as
such events are heartily welcomed by
Honolulu people.
