to the best of their ability, which
should entitle them to one OF the lead
ing positions the Punahous gave one
act of the comedy of errors Saturday,
thereby adding to the percentage Of the
Kamehamehas and taking for their
very own the bottom end Of the list of
the league. Up to the eighth inning,
barring some misplays which could we'll
have been cut out of their repertoire by
Vannatta and Soper, it was baseball,
then for one period it became humble
puppy, and the collegians went away
back and squatted at the foot Of the
class.
The crowd was good one, crowd
which was ready to enjoy the game to
it's full, for it has been entertained by
the first exhibition, one given by the
Wela Ka Haos and a team Of Honolulu
Athletic Club men, the former annex
ing the conquest by to 4. So when the
league match came on it was to find its
rooters in form and ready to applaud
every good point and to make the most
of the afternoons sport. The teams
were in fine fettle, each having lost the
preceding game played, and determined
to capture the long end of the score.
There was such rivalry that the sup
porters of the two teams made the
preparations for a big demonstration
and although scoring was done in few
innings, there were plays which called
for cheers all along the line, and right
heartily were they given.

uatta's drop of fly in the first was
the worst error, and after that initial
inning, when threee collegians counted.
there was true blue game put up by
the school men.
Punahou stock was off, Soper, usual
| ly one of the reliable players of his
team, had a bad day. He could not
stop car, but even at that he was
shade better off than Marcailino, who
seemed unable to pick up a good thing,
and when it came to throwing, was as
wild as a mountain goat. That eighth
will be marked up in the Punahou
clubs private book as debit to plung-
| ing, for the shortstop once after stop
ping a hot one could not find the ball
and field it. Castle, with all this hand
leap, pitched fair game, thought not
up to his former performances, and
without counting the Kamehamehas,
rally at the wire, should have won.
Punahou went to bat first, and imme-
diately began to figure on taking the
game. Steere had his eye and waited
successfully, but was thrown out at
second by Lemon on A Marcallino's
drive. Waterhouse pushed out safe
out and Castle was good for a high fly

The Kamehamehas tried hard but it

it was for a single tally, KokI was
again up and he hit to Soper SHARP
and hard drive. The guardian Of the
