II is but natural. therefore. that the
sons of Hawaiians should love feats
which demand speed, strength and
skill. and it is fortunate that our school
should have encouraged all manly ex.
ercise And. indeed. no history of IA.
mehameha would be complete without
chapter on the sports in which We
have participated.
In the spring of 1890. our baseball
nine won their. first championship. in
evidence of which should like to show
you the beautiful bat and ball which
are our trophies of that season. This
trophy. the bat and ball of Hawaiian
woods. was made at the order OF Thos.
G.. Thrum by w. Miller. The bat con
tains forty-siX pieces and the bail sew

cites Of indigenous island woods.

nous Sam Mahuka. who has never
been struck out but once.
The next fall the San Jose baseball
nine visited Honolulu and oui team had
the pleasure of playing a series OF
games with them. thus learning many
/ new points. for they were all fine play
ers.
| In 1892. '93 and "a our team won the
baseball championship against the Io-
Modulus. the Hawaiis and Crescents
| and so gained the beautiful silver cup

to the winners for three successive
years.
In 1896 began our intersCholastic
games with Oahu. We have held the
championship every year since. except
1898. when insufficient practice caused
our defeat

The fall Of 1889 witnessed our hrst
field day. King Kalakaua and Queen
Liliuokalani were present and much
interest on the part of the spectators
was shown.
The day opened with tug-of-war
which aroused the spirit of all. Next
, came those most slippery events, climb.
ing the creased pole and catching a
creased pig. The three-legged race, tho
barrel race. the bag race and the potato
race completed the list OF events. This
, must have been a most successful field
day. Immediately afterwards, Mr.
Richards with others introduced the
yell. "Ray-ha-ray-ray, Kamehameha,'
which has ever since proved an incen'
d tive to victory.
l Outside competition in our field day
sports was first invited in 1895 Oahu
was our first competitor and has re-
manned our most dangerous rival. Fol
