MAUI, Oct I2-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
Athletic Association and the Morning
Stars were the contestants. Long be-
fore the hour Of commencement, 8 o.
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 were 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 a gooseegg, and it was the
NJ. A. 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 a 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 innings
without breaking down. Not much
batting was done, and both sides held
down their respective opponents very
closely. Jackson has now won fame
as 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 bali into the field at all.
Il was a thrilling contest, and old
baseballers declare it SurpaSSeS 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-
| vile boys who We're playing for the
| Maui Athletics were obliged to go
home. Some Of the HiIo 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 c0uldn't
pitch any more. George then took the
| box without consulting Captain Gar
| cha of the Stars. The Morning Stars
| objected to the change, and Black con-
| scented 10 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.
