"A HONOLULU WIN
Regiments Defeated in
Seasons Game.
Wilder and Lishman We're Absent
Pitcher jackson Starts in Well.
Close Playing on Both Sides.

Although void Of much excitement
or enthusiasm, the game of baseball
between the Regiment and Honolulu
teams, played on the Makiki baseball
grounds Saturday afternoon was I'M
doubtedly the best played this season.
There was nothing spasmodic as in the
previous games, but a steady pull for
success on both sides was manifest.
The Regiments were minus two of
their best men-Wilder and Lishman-
but it is doubtful if they could have
won even with these men. 1t was
whispered about quite extensively that
the Regiments allowed the Homo
lulus to win. For what reason, it is
hard to explain, although several were
given. The fact that the Regiment
players deny this and that Hart was
substituted in Bowers place in the
fourth inning would go to argue other
wise. The Regiments played for all
there was in it and so did the Homo
lulus Togo Jackson was put in as
pitcher for the Honolulus and, al
though a little wild in the beginning,
beat the record of Hart and Bower
put together in the matter of strike
outs He is a cool headed fellow in
the box and is a most valuable addi-
ton to the wearers of the blue and
white The teams with their positions
and in order of batting were as fol-
ows:
Willis, 1 b.; Luahiwa, r
f.; Pryce, l. f.; Mahuka, b.; Gleason,
S. s.; Kaanoi, C. f.; Dayton, c.; jack
son, D.; Thompson, 3 b.
Regiment-Moore, 2 b.; Jones, c. f.;
Hart, S. s.. Scanlon, 1 b.; Bower, p;
Kiley, /. f.; Davis, c.; German, 3 b.;
Vincent, r f. (Vincent substituted by
J. o. Carter, Jr. in the sixth inning)
In the first inning neither side
scored Jackson made fine catch Of
a difficult ball sent in the direction of
short by ScanlOn.
The Regiments did not play very
we'll in the second inning. Gleason
got first on balls and came home on
wild throw by Bower to first. Kaa-
moi got first on a tumble by Moore and
Dayton knocked a three Dagger bring
ing in KaanOi Jackson knocked a
home run but failed to touch third on
his race around and could not get
back before the balls arrival at that
place. Dayton came home, this maxi
ing a score of three runs. The Regi-
ments went out in one, two, three
order.
In the third inning Mahuka got
caught in the ribs with the ball and
took first Gleason flew out to Kiley
who sent the ball to first for Mahuka,
making a double play. Again the
Regiments failed to score.

The Honolulus could not score in the

a signal of success for the Regiments

head barred and feet firmly planted

thing peculiar on his bat for Willis

first. Moore got base on balls and
Jones sent a hot one through Gleason
legs for three bases, sending in Carter

The HonoluIus scored two more runs
in the eighth inning. ScanIOn for the
