not Hit Castle When Runs

N n AUI baseball men stand to win
tV any eff" handicap they enter,
Avn for their last game yesterday
showed that same old preposi-
tion furnishing the basis for the propo-
sition OF failure on their part to an
mex scalp during their trip TO Homo
lulu. They are ball players. those little
chaps all Drowned and brawny. the eff
feet of the sun ard struggle on the sad
die isle, but when it comes to using the
willow they are not there with the
goods.
If the curves of Castle had not been
so deceptive there would have been an
other story to tell of the contest of the
visitors. against picked team of play
ers from the various clubs of the
league. The Mauis played hard and
fast, made some saffron errors and mis-
Judged some balls like judges at the
law, but leaving out one inning, the
sixth, they put up a game which was
sufficient to raise shouts of encourage
Inent from the very fair crowd OF spec
tators gathered upon the Oahu campus.
But-they could not hit. True they
found Castle more like pie than Joy,
but at critical moments they seemed
unable to hit plum pudding with a fork.
And thereby hangs the tale of woe.
When Capt. Cornwell took his men
into the field he found against him rep
resentativea of the Punahous, the Gus
&1.1 ho-
mehas, with the President of the
League down for a place. The visitors
were not dismayed, and went at their
word like the game sportsmen they
are They played ball for all they were
worth They caught and ran, jerked
the ball across the diamond and block
ed safe srnashes which left the willow
with base hit tag attached, but they
were outciassed on the rubber.
Jackson is good pitcher. When he
came to town, with a modesty worthy
of prima donna he said he was not
a wonder, but he did not say that he
has in him the making of one of the
best wing artists in the islands. He
viii never be a Joy. but with some more
practice he is certain to become re-
fable man. one that any team may
fear, for he has a head which works,
and all the curves, needing only prac-
tice against the good ones TO come into
the premier class.
Lishman told Capt. Soper that he
would strike out and sure enough he
bit at some wide ones and kept his
promise Marcallino did better, an
oh
promptly purloined the second corner
and romped home when Soper chucked
a hot ore into right. Cap" took
turn at petty larceny and was safe on
second but after Meyers flied out got
gay and tried to turn the trick again.
He was arrested at third by Hender- 4
son on a beautiful throw by Kruger.
This set the crowd to talking little
and they expected something to be do
ing when the collegian came TO the
rubber.
Maui. true to Manager Coke's predfc-
ton. had link up the sleeve. and be-
gan business at the first turn of the
cards. Yates picked out q dew-drop
and Strengthened it for one. Smith,
new man waited successfully and botn
came home like COW ponies on a drive
when Cornwell smashed a beauty into
Chillipgworth's territory. The son OF
his father likewise Tailed when Meyer
let Henderson's drive get the better OF
him. This made the three which held
the board for eight sessions OF the tea
party. and the sympathise with the +
maroon began to tune UP for victory
Again jackson famed the first man
up but Mana began his batting streak
right there and singled, Lemon dupli-
Eating the hit Castles little one
Lemon at second and two
tallies were added to the heavenly hash
teams count when Chillingworth sent
a long fiy to center. which was too high
for Smith. and netted three sacks
with the score three all the tally
