The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1896-06-15

| The attractions at Emma Square or
on the Pacific Tennis Court proved too
| great for the baseball game to counter
act, and consequently there were not
many people at the grounds. even
! though a good game was expected.
The days of baseball as an attrac-
| tive feature of the islands seems to
have passed, and the space along the
| fence which in days gone by used to
| be filled with carriages was on Satur-
| day given up to small boys. Nor was
there any great enthusiasm, even when
exceptionally good plays were made by
either the Kamehamehas or Stars.
When game was called at $3.50 the
students went to bat. A. Pahou could
not find the ball and was struck out
Koki went out at first and Kaahoi at
second, and the Stars took the bat
with nothing to overcome. w. Wilder
was first in and out, and Willis by a
safe hit to left made first. Lionel Hart,
who reported himself too i'll to play,
field, brought Willis home, and made
third base H. Wilder brought Hart
home on a sacrifice hit which put him
self out at first Percy Lishman sent a
fly to left field and put himself and the
side out with a total of two runs.
Duke McNicnol, who coached himself
hoarse, felt that the game was his'n.
The students ended their half of the
second inning without player reach
ing first while the Stars got two runs.
Pryce sent a two-bagger to the fence
and Sam Woods hit past short, brought
Pryce home and Conradt's sacrifice
muddled the Rams so that Woods tai
lied without much effort. Willie Will
der made a safe hit but went out while
trying to get himself down as a three
Dagger.
In the third inning AHA made first
on a hit to center, but later, when he
tried to make second, Harry Wilder
made an excellent throw to Conradt
and put him out. The same old goose
egg went up when Casino went out at
first base.
The Stars made three runs by their
superior batting and ability to get the
ball wherever they wanted to put it.
Hart went out on a high straight-up-
| in-the-air foul. which A. Pahau ran
and caught.
The feeling of the audience changed
| in the fourth inning, when from poor
! fielding of the Stars the students got a
run. Hart put the ball where the boys
had no trouble reaching it, and their
muscles were tough enough for them to
send it on long journeys. They ham
mered the sick man right and left, and
center, and scored three runs.
The Stars finished their half for two
runs In the fifth inning the students
scored again, and the boys friends
yelled and stamped until the flooring
on the grand stand Immediately over
the scorers table was in danger of de-
struction.
In this inning Conradt struck the bal
so hard that he broke a bat short off
about eight inches from the end, but
the second baseman was there to catch
the ball. The customary two runs was
the result of the inning.
Both teams drew blanks in the sixth
inning and in the seventh they each
Tailed a run. r. Pahau distinguished
himself in this inning by making a
running high jump for fly ball hit
by Tom Pryce, catching it and putting
the man out. Side retired with one run
TO credit.
In the eighth inning Bridges had the
distinguished honor of being the first
player to take a base on called balls
He could have done better if he had
got a crack at it. One run was all they
could make.
The game was almost One-sided from
the start, and as a modern game there
was little to recommend it.
Percy Lishman's catch of hot bal
at third and R. Pahau's wonderful &C
robatfc eaten at center field were the
only features. Fifteen to six, in these
days when ball-playing is a science
was altogether too much scoring.
Following is the score:
