POLICE GOLORs DRAGGED
IN DUST OF DEFEAT
ATHLETICS SCORE A VICTORY
IN MAkikI BASE BALL
MATcH YESTERDAY.
The Mascot That Proved to be Hoo
doo-eame Was Full of Snap and
Ginger Until the Seventh Inning
Rain Too Much For the Finest.

One of the most perplexing prob
lens that has faced the Police Depart
ment for some time now confronts
that organization. There is an able
bodied hoodoo within the confines of
their stronghold.
Nine young men. the pick of the
flower of the Honolulu police force,
left their happy homes and their bill
lies" behind them. and made their way
to the Makiki ball grounds yesterday
afternoon. where they found an equal
number of young fellows wearing suits
upon which was emblazoned Honolu--
lu Athletic Club. and Win whom the
Police proceeded to engage in deadly
conflict upon the grassy diamond.
After about two hours wFestle for
supremacy. defeat settled down upon
the banners of the Police. Athletes
came of victorious in as clean
and clearcut base ball game as has
been played upon the grounds for
many a day. Sad as it may seem to
local pride the official score showed
Athletes 10. Police Is, at the close of
the game.
Deputy Sheriff Chas. Chillingworth

he had secured a kahuna talisman at
great expense that was warranted to
be copper-riveted. of fast colors and
guaranteed to bring good luck. In
place of landing a victory, it nearly
precipitated a small-sized riot
Where did you get it, Charle?'
came the high keyed chirping from
the rooters' bench.
Looks like an oyerworked dish tow
ell taken from a pake hash foundry,
was the breezy comment of another
base ball crank
Il say. Deputy. will it talk loud
enough to wake up policeman on his
beat?" sang out a diminutive hdlet
perehed upon a neighboring fence.
The cause of the good-natured chat
fing from the bystanders at the ball
grounds was the prominence given to
the display of gorgeously decorated
handkerchief OF conversational yellow
tint worn around the neck of the cap
tain of the ponce team. Chas. Chill
lingworth. As a means of soaring
away the bird of victory it was like
wise a bowling success. When the
game was over the police with one
accord declared that the faring neck
scarf did the business for them
The game abounded in clever play
ling upon both sides. The boys settled
down to good hard work at an early
stage of proceedings. Dave Dayton
and Bonnie Joy made several good
hits for the police, while Thompson of
the Athletics damned the ball in good
shape in the third inning
Up to the seventh inning the score
stood pretty even for both mines
About this time rain clouds appeared
coming from the mountains. The real
article OF moisture soon followed
While II lasted it was picnic for the
Athletics. While they were at the
bat. the wielders of police billies were
out in the muddy field endeavoring ia
corral the stray balls which seemed
TO be flying In almost any old direc-
ton inaccessible for the fielders. In
the latter part of the seventh inning
the Athletics secured nine runs, Cap
tain Chiilingworth changed pitchers
Jov was taken out of the box and
Parker nut in his place. Mr.. Chilling
worth. however. failed to rid himself
Of the hoodooed handkerchief. hence
his striving for VICTORY was unavaiI
ling. The score was as follows:
