ALarse Crowd at
Punahou.
The Last Game Was One of the
Best Ever Played Here for
Eight Innings.

II was day for the favorites to lose,
and the short end went to those who
think they know the form OF the base
ball clubs. and that they can pick the
winners in the popular game contests:
the Kamehamehas and the Punahous
won from the Males and the Elks. in
matches which were Of the greatest
interest. II was before a crowd that
was only little short Of that which
gathered on the Punahou campus on
the opening day that the two games
were played, and there was enthusi-
asm enough to Indicate the intense
feeling which has grown over the
game
The victory OF the Kamehamehas
was hardly expected. There had been
so many rumors that the Males had
been strengthened that the followers
OF the standard Of the school felt that
it would be a hard game at the best,
with only a chance that they might
VAN. However when the time came
the little men in blue walked away
from the Zebras, taking the game by
SIX to one, after some of the snap
piest play. some OF the finest work in
field and on bases and a generally
splendid display OF team work. The
p.tching of Reuter-. for the Kameha-
mehas, was OF high order, he holding
the older men down finely when the
bases were crowded. The Males
played with ginger and the victory was
one which was earned, not given away.
Clark was in good form except in the
sixth. when he was found four times,
and these hits with a base on balls
and an error gave the winners their
ciach on the match.
The second game was anyone's until
the ninth. when after having held the
P1nahous down to one run, though the
crowd thought the winners were
robbed of one or two in the sixth, the
Eiks managed to weaken under fre,
and four collegians romped over the
rubber with tallies, the contest closing
with five to two, amid a cheering Tor
