Capitol 80 2 II 30 90
Saturdays league game at Punahou
was uneventful in the extreme There
was total absence of throaty enthus-
iasm, also of unpleasant incident. The
overhanging clouds. pregnant with
the lack of yelling. 1t really looked at
times as If chorus of well developed
yells would precipitate a cloudburst.
A crowd Of a thousand witnessed the
struggle which was almost too one sid
ed to be digniffed with that name The
red-sweatered Capitol players came and
went, that was all there was to it.
Only in the last inning did they seem to
realize that the game consisted of 9
and not 10 innings. Then the coffin had
been ordered and invitations to the
funeral sent out
Everything was done deoently and in
order The Capitols batted the ball as
though they loved it and not until their
final effort were they guilty of undue
violence toward the sphere. Kiwa for
the Ironmongers pitched a decorous,
ise of doing even better in the future
The Hall team which played on Sat
t,r Iax &c a nd 81, no h
to make it interesting for the Custom
House when they meet again. Apropos
of this team a remark was overheard
on the ground to the effect that any
one who had ever purchased sporting
goods from E. o. Hall & Son was
eligible for the team. No statement has
been made by the manager of the club
to this effect SO the matter must re-
main clouded in doubt.
One pleasing feature of the game was
the absence of monkey-work of any de-
scription. 1t was apparent that every
player was doing his level best. The
umpiring was in competent hands and
gave satisfaction.
The game while uneven was not I'M
interesting. The smart individual work
of half of a dozen players saved it from
particularly that of AyIett, Williams
and Chillingworth was brilliant
The crowd was glad to see Cunha in
form again. He was a rubber ball be-
hind the bat and always knocking
with it.
Honar did not pitch up to expecta
tons and must have a hazy recollec-
ton of the last game he played in. A
couple of more games will do him
world of good.
Chris. Willis, after multitudinous
threats. made his temperance on the
diamond and showed that neither his
hands nor feet have lost their cunning.
He held down first in good shape.
The Capitols scored a single IN the
second and then complied six successive
ciphers. Meanwhile the Ironmongers
had run. up their score to II. In their
last essay the Hall men raised one.
Thanks to prize fumbling the Capitols
CLEANED five in the ninth which render
ed their fall a trifie less severe.
