HOW THE VISITORS HAD FUN
WITH THE CHAMPIONS. j..
Stars Outplayed by the Wailukus-
Heavy Batting and Superb Fielding
of the Maui Boys-The Game.

The Wailuku Base Ball Club ran all
over the champion Stars at Makiki
Saturday afternoon, defeating them
by score of 81 to 5. \ very exciting
game was put up. Six hundred people
witnessed it. The Hawaiian band was
also in attendance and played between
innings. After the game the visitors
were congratulated by many people,
on result which was manifestly diff
ferent from what had been antici-
pated.
The Stars went into the game over
confident. at was preposterous to
think of the Mauis defeating the
champions"-an so the champions
did not practice. Jock" Carter played
in place of Ross. w. Wilder was not
present when the game started, 50
Duke McNichol was put on right field
and Rabbit sent to short. Hart emit
cred the box, but the Maui giants
were too much for him and Babbitt
was substituted. Toward the last the
latter weakened and Lishman was
sent to the box. During the game the
Star men were constantly shifted.
Only four men played in their regular
places.
The Wailukus put up fine game.
/ They were cool and every man played
ball. Their batting was simply "out
[ of sight" and their fielding the best
seen on the local diamond this year.
w. c. Wilder, Jr. and George Angus
umpired the game. On the toss the
Stars took the field. The first ball
over the plate was batted to right
field by Joe Ross. McNichol played
tag with it long enough for the runner
to get second. Cummings went to first
on balls; Meheula struck for a single.
On a passed ball by H. Wilder, Ross
took the plate. Kauka got first on a
dead; Cummings and Meheula walked
in on scraper over center by Akina,
and on two successive passed balls by
Wilder. Kauka and Al<ina scored.
Bailey hit safe and took second on n
wild throw by Lishman under first
Mossman struck for a single; Kuikahi
(English) famed out; Palea hit for
one bag and tailed Bailey; Ross flew
out to Carter and Cummings struck
out.
There was a deal of speculation as
to what the Stars would do to even W
with the start of six runs of the Wis
itors. 1t was clear the champions
were ratified, but they seemed deter
mined. w. Wilder, who had just ar
rived on the field, went to bat and
famed out; Willis tapped fly intt
the drag-net of Ross on left field. Hart
hit safe. The first baseman for the
Wailukus (Cummings) struggled the
ball and the pitcher of the champion
club was caught by that same ole
school-boy trick, retiring his side
with a goose-egg.
Second Inning-Babbitt in the box
Meheula famed and Kaul<a and Akini
both died easy at first. H. Wilder, o
the Stars, hit for two bags. Pryc'
flew out to Meheula and Lishman WA

to right field. Pryce and w. Wilde
collided and the latter was laid out
