Now there was howl from the grand
stand at the Makiki base ball grounds
on Saturday afternoon, when the Ka-
mehameha and First Regiment teams
retired from the field, the former vic
torious over their opponents with a
score of 16 to Ii, after a hard ten-inning
game. The Stars are most happy, for
now they are a nice distance ahead of
the First Regiment boys.
Perhaps some of the worst playing
ever experienced on a base ball field
was done by the First Regiment team,
and that, too, by infield men. One es-
peciaIly remarkable play was made by
Gleason. When but a few feet away
from third he threw the ball almost
fifteen feet over the baseman's head
The Kamehamehas were by no means
free from bad playing.

the two teams:

3D.; Hansman, CT; w. Woods, p; GIea-
