Fine Exhibition of the Game
Witnessed by One of the
Fine Exhibition OF the Game
Witnessed by One of the
Greatest Crowds.

IT was the Joy in the box for the Ho-
nolulu Athletics that caused the Iacl
3 of it in the supporters of the AL
Maui team which gave to a crowd
of spectators numbering at least 2oo0
one OF the best exhibitions of baseball
that they have had recently. That the
Mauis were beaten 8 to 0 did not mean
at all that they forfeited the game, but
sirnply that the local pitcher was in
vincible. and permitting the visitors to
hit him safely only twice, and striking
out sixteen of them, made the game
one sided from start to finish
1t was in truth great crowd which
gathered to see the game between the
visiting baseball men and the leaders
kof the local league. The people began
10 assemble at the campus of the col
lege long before the game was to be
called and they had a long wait, owing
10 the fact that the lack of an umpire
kept back the call of play until nearly
; o'clock It was cosmopolitan
crowd. too. for there was in the mass
of humanity crowded about the ropes
representatives of every branch of the
cfty's social and business life. The
small boys who crawled over the fence
and the family party in the carriage
were equally in evidence and the root
ing was as varied as the people who
aided in making the noise. 1t was a
crowd fairly divided, too. and that the
visitors were not the winners did not
lie to the discredit of a minority of the
who really had the success of the To-
calls at heart, but who enlivened the
game by their cheering words. Beaten
tha Mauis were but the playing exhibit
tion given. marred as il was by some
inexcusabie errors. was in many points
the whole as good an example of the
game by amateur players as Honolulu I
has been treated to recently.
Jackson. called the best pitcher on ,
Maui. was not able to show form which ]
would enable him 10 class with Joy. He {
and handles them well, but he cannot ,
keep the speed that is necessary to win I,
from as hard a proposition as are the s
Honolutus at the present time. The I
others of the team are ball players. I
Cummings. their captain. is a heady,
well balanced player, and it is nothing I
but the game with him from start to /
finish. He kept his men fairly well in
hand and when he split his hand in
the eighth he would not leave the game y

m center seemingly shot his bolt early, F
when he made one of the most sensa-
tional catches ever seen on the local z
grounds. taking a long fly with a back r
ward jump and holding it, the ball =,
sticking in his fingers, while the crowd 7
lowled itself hoarse. Henderson was

lead and wing alike, and Pickard was +,
IS good on the bases as any one could
fish- Altogether the men from the sis -
or isle played with discretion and had r,
hey been able to hit would have made q
different story of the game. P
This game was only the curtain rais- w

on1ing of the visitors was meant to A
urnish an exhibition of the kind of T.

was the intention to have one game
etween an All Maui and an All Homo
llu team. il was thought wise to make Al
le first game against the league lead II
