New Union Team Shut Ont By
the Honolulu Nine.
ROAD BOARD MEN OUTCLASED
Thompson's Aggregation Had An
Easy yThing-Promise That Union
Nine Will Be Strengthened.

The baseball game of Saturday was
by no means a success as may be seen
by the result of % runs on the part
of the Honolulu team to nine goose
eggs on the part of the Union players.
Throughout the whole game there was
hardly a bit of applause from the
grandstand, the seats of which were
occupied by slim attendance.
The Honolulus had things all their
own way from the beginning hitting
the ball to any part of the field they
chose and running bases with the
utmost ease. The Unions, felders ex-
cepted, seemed unable to stop ball
and, even where an assist was likely
to be made, the balls were thrown 50
far overhead that there was hardly any
chance of getting them. Toward the
fourth inning things looked as if the
Unions might score but they were held
down by the wearers of the blue and
white. The playing of the Portuguese
team became worse and worse until
in the seventh, eighth and ninth in
nings, they lost their heads com
pleteIy.
Following is a brief summary of the
game:
The Unions went out in one, two,
three order. Duncan's high fly to CEN
ter was nicely caught by KaanOi.
In the second inning the Unions did
better playing. Pahau was nicely
caught at second. Pryce was disposed
of at the same place.
After two men were out, Comes
got first on a fine hit and stole second
NJ. S. Souza spoiled it abby striking
out.
M. V. Souza made a splendid catch
of a hot low one frcm Lemon. Dayton
stole around to third and slid in home
on a passed ball. Score Of one run.
The Unions couldn't hit the ball safe
and went out in one, two, three order.
Koki went out on a foul to first,
Willis came in on hot liner by Pryce
to right field! Pryce and Pahau came
in. Three runs.
Again were the Unions retired with
out a run.
Holt hit far out into center and
Thompson tried to steal home, but was
caught at the plate. Holt came home
and by a series of wild throws, KOki
got in.
A running race was the next thing
in order and the Honolulus finished
with four runs.
Comes of the Post office wagon made
first and stole second but it was no
use, the Unions couldn't score.
The Honolulus had little fun in the
sixth. Kaanoi fooled around between
third and home and finally got home.
The Unions were completely demOfal-
lied and showed no spirit whatever.
The scorer became tired of counting
the runs. 1t was the same old story
with the Unions.
The Unions succeeded in holding
down the Honolulus to one run in the
seventh inning.
There was excitement in the Portu-
guese camp for just one brief moment.
Three men were on bases and then
came disaster. No runs again.
Another three runs for the Homo
lulus and the Unions went to bat to
record the same old story.
The HonoIuIus did not score and the
| Unions followed their example.
Following was the score by innings:
Hon. 6 0 3 3 0-23
