Especial Correspondence.)

MAUI oct. Undoubtedly one of
the best games of baseball ever played
on Maui, and by far the most brilliant
played this season, took place at Wells
Park on the 9Th, in which the Maui
Athletic Association and the Morning
Stars We're the contestants. Long be-
fore the hour of commencement, p.
m, large number of people were on
the grounds, eagerly awaiting to see
the outcome of the game which they
expected to be a tight one.
The Morning Stars had won from
the Maui Athletic Association the week
before, and the Maui athletes had Sc
lected several new players, with the
help OF whom they intended to win the
day. The Stars We're feeling fit to play
the game of their lives. BY the middle
of the game the largest crowd ever
seen in Wells Park was in evidence.
The Morning Stars closed their first
inning with gooseegg, and 1t was the
NJ. \. AS turn to show what they
knew of baseball. They made two
runs. The NJ a. a. scored six runs in
the first four innings, and the Stars
but four, and it looked most difficult
for the latter to overcome the advan-
tage gained by their rivals. However,
after II hard struggle, the Morning
Stars caught up with the NJ. A. A. in
the eighth inning, at which time the
score stood six to six. From that time
onward neither side made any runs.
Three extra innings We're played,
making twelve in all, and still neither
side could score. This part of the game
was especially interesting. Cheers from
the spectators made things lively, and
| both sides felt confident of winning
the game. Tom Kruger, of the Morn
| ing Stars, made the best hit of the
| season, three-bagger, sending two
! men home.
| Both sides played well, and scarcely
an error was made. jackson, for the
Morning Stars, did expert work in the
| box, and held out for twelve inning;
| without breaking down. Not much
! batting was done, and both sides held
down their respective opponents very
closely. Jackson has now won fame
as n pitcher and his friends declare
that he IS the best pitcher on Maui
today. Surprise was felt among the
audience that the best strikers Cum
mings, Garcia, Pahia and jackson, did
not send the ball into the field at all.
1t was IA thrilling contest, and old
baseballcrs declare it SURPRISES the
record of previous years AT the begin
ming of the thirteenth inning, Captains
Cummings and Garcia agreed to call
game drawn, as some of the Spreckels-
willie boys who We're playing for the
| Maui Athletics We're obliged to 60
home. Some of the Hilo and Honolulu
visitors present who know baseball
stated that either team would be able
to compete with any Honolulu club
one even stated that Hilo would not
be in it at all with Maui.
The game did rot pass off without
mishap, 1t was during the eighth in
ming that Black broke his arm by over
eXerting himself in pitching. In the
middle of the eighth inning he told
Captain Cummings that he couldn';
pitch any more. George then took the
box without consulting Captain Gar
ella of the Stars. The Morning Stars
objected to the change and Black con-
scented to pitch the inning out. Black
pitched one ball, and fell on the ground
/ with a broken arm.
The lineup of the game was as fol-
lows.
