BASEBALL AT MAKlKI.

There was a game Of baseball at Ma
kili yesterday afternoon, where the
most critical fan could have had plays
and combinations that would have
made him happy. There were other
plays and combinations that 1t is just
as well not to talk about. The Ar
tillerymen and the Male Ilimas cross
ed bats, and after a game that was
good in spots, the score stood % to 2
in favor of the men behind the guns,
just as the sun went down.
1t was O'Clock when the game was
fiannels were at the bat. At first, it
looked as though the lads in green and
yellow would have to hire substitutes
to run around the diamond for them,
but after a little the glass armed,
statuesque pitcher of the gunnners
found the hole in the bat of the Iii
mas, and began making bulls-eyes
right straight along. Then things I'M
derwent change. The boys in blue
were showed under. This was partly
due to one of the pitchers of the SOL
der boys. who let seven runs pile up
to the credit of the young natives be-
fore they were forced to stop.
The defenders of the nations honor
had all sorts ard conditions of pitch
ers on hand. 1t was, a case of if you
don't see what you want, ask for it.
During the nine innings, Mccoy, Bur-
IN Mt
different times for the Artillerymen.
Lennon was the only man that project
! ed the spheroid for the Ilimas. For
an eighteen-year- boy he pitched a
remarkable game. Try as they might,
it was impossible for the koas to rattle
him.
The reason that the younger team
did not win was due to their being ka-
hunaed In the eighth inning, the
score was % to II in their favor. Just
as they went out, a hen, belonging to
some of the families in the neighbor-
hood strolled leisurely across the dia-
mond It was impossible to frighten
her, and it was only when one of the
other players picked her up in his arm
and carried her off the field that the
game could be continued. 1t was too
late to break the magic spell, however,
had everything coming its way was
, doomed.
The grandstand play of the, day was
made by Hardy. Hawkins knocked a
fly somewhere into space. Tt was bat
ted over the head of the second base
man, and Hardy ran from right field,
made a grab for it as it was about to
come in contact with the ground and
picked it up as easily with his left
hand as though it were lying on ta-
BILE. He got all kinds of applause for
his feat.
Umpire Jones was called all sorts
of sweet and tender names by those
who played but did not win. They said
that the umpire was looking out for
the interests of the men in red and
blue. Jones said nay, nay, and the
merry war of words continued all
through the nine innings. When the
days amusement had been concluded,
he handed his resignation to Mr.. Chill
Ilingworth. Now the league will have
to rustic up another man to hold the
counter. wear a catcher's mask, and
consent to be sworn at.
During the progress of the game a
fight almost took place between red
headed soldier and a native, over the
color line question. The two Ameri-
cans were finally induced to see the
error of their way. and peace spread
her wings once more over the scene
