IA at the Punahou Campus on Sat
~ urday afternoon witnessed
severe drubbing given to the
K:llnchaInehas by the Honolulu A;'s.c: ic
Club team. The Rams just es .aped 4
whitewash by some clever base-staaline
and fast base-running by Lemon in the
last inning. the score being eight tc
one. A good game was played by the
Punahous against the Customs and the
Punahous win puts them in the place
formerly occupied by the Smugglers
and the latter are now at the bottom Of
the list
For the first game the H. A. C's pre-
sented new infield. placing Lewis at
second base. Bolster at third. and W.T.
liams at short stop. This combination
proved an unfortunate one as Lewis
and Bolster played very ragged game
The batting commenced in the third in
ming when Cunha went to the bat with
three men on bases and two men out
The Honolulu rooters set up terrible
howl and this must have nerved up the
batter as he sent one way over near
the college building and allowing the
three men on bases to reach home, got
around to third base himself. 1t was
the hit of the day and as Cunha sat on
the square of canvass at third base
he was given an ovation. Joy smashed
one out to Yates, it was fumbled, and
Cunha scored. Joy scored before the
end of the inning, giving the H. A. C.'s
five guns to their opponents nothing.
The Honolulu rooters went wild in their
excitement but not whisper could be
heard from the other side of the field.
Then Joy started in on the sensational
work of the day. His pitching was of
the whirlwind variety and man after
man took the bat and swiped the air
bat Cunha was very lively in getting a
couple OF foul balls that went high in
the air and fell just within the back
stop. During his wonderful pitching
Joy struck out eleven men. After secur-
ing the five runs the hot air crowd
took rest as far as batting was con-
cerned- For five innings Joy continued
TO take the wind out of the kammy
batters and in the eighth the Honolulu
men again started in to find Lemons
balls Cunha, Joy and Aylett each
scored a run. Cunha got in another
grandstand three Dagger which could
easily have been home run. He plac-
ed the ball way over in the bushes and
then with head high in air started to go
around the diamond. The Kamehameha
players got ratified. A wild throw
sent the ball way outside the grounds
and Cunha could have got home but
instead sat on third base shaking his
head sadly at the rooters who urged .
him to make the home trip. Aylett's
hit allowed him to reach home later.
The Honolulu crowd were simply
amusing themselves but the Kameha-
mehas battled with all the energy of
despair. Finally in the ninth Lemon
managed to get to first. Cunha shout
ed all kinds OF instructions to the team
as to how they should cut him off but
a moment later he stole to second and
in a trice was around to third To save
a whitewash he must get home. JOY
made a wild throw and Cunha failed to
stop II so Lemon simply waltzed home
and saved his team from disgrace.
Jones on first handicapped his side by
very loose work 7
