Previous to the regular league game
between the Punahou and kamehame-
ha baseball teams on the Oahu College
a fiye-inning go-as-you-please contest
between the Wela Ia iiao team of Nj
gel Jackson and a nine gathered to-
gether by Pat Gleason and Deputy
Sheriff Chillingworth. Five innings
were played and then official scorer
Lorrn Andrews rang the bell for the
game of the afternoon. The score then
stood TO in favor Of the Wela IA
Hao's and Jackson naturally swelled
up with pride. The playing throughout
was very poor.
When the Punahou and Eamehame-
ha teams took the field there was
feeling that one of the best contests of
the year would be experienced and.
indeed, in this the crowd. numbering
six or seven hundred, was not mistak-
en-. with the exception OF the Kane
hameha's part OF the first inning. the
game was a splendid one throughout.
Some little time was wasted casting
about for an umpire, Lieut.. Newton OF
Camp Mckinley having sent in his
resignation to the league as its official
umpire. 4. X. Cunha was finally pre-
vailed upon to do the work and he
proved very satisfactory.
In this connection 1t might be stated
that the league Is in quandary as to
an Official umpire. Mr.. Newton has
proved a most valuable man in that
capacity and his thorough knowledge
OF the game as 1t is played under the
new rules, gives him an advantage
over anyone else in the city. 1t will
will be able to I'LL the bin in nearly as
satisfactory manner as Mr.. Newton.

hackers with confidence. On all hands
were heard remarks to the effect that

brilliant game for the PunahOus but at
two critical stages he fell down and to
this fact was due in part the ultimate
