! advanced Clark to reaching distance
of the rubber. Akau shot one TO the
first baseman who could not do any
thing more than stop the ball, and
Clark, with the only score Of the game,
crossed the plate.
There was a deal of good play, and
something of luck in the game of the
Kamehamehas, for in every inning ex-
cept the fourth the losers got men on
base, and generally more than one.
In the first there was a man on third
and another on second when the last
hand went out. In the third one man
was ON the bags, in the fifth another,
in the sixth three, with one Dagger for
the inning, in the seventh three, with
two hits in their getting down, in the
eighth three and in the ninth the same
but the Kams played like machines.
Reuter- held the hits scattered and the
game ended with a row OF horse col
lars relieved with one mark only, for
the effort of the Zebras on their
first appearance.
There was more than one good play
during the game. the fielders being on
their toes all the time, and the crowd
was kept in a state of pleasurable
excitement all the way.
PUNAHoUs IN THE NINTH.
The second game was of the gilt
edged order, the first five innings be-
ing as fine ball as has ever been seen
here, the men putting up a quality Of
game which would be cred!table to any
professional nine. Then it was that
very close decision had to be given,
which seemed to excite some of the
crowd. including some of the officials.
TO the extent that they openly jeered
the umpires, and after that there SEEM
ed to be visited on the heads of the
beneficiaries the wrath of the portion
of the crowd which was not pleased
with the Elks. The ninth showed the
Elks in the unfortunate position of
having a team which was playing out
of position, for the first baseman went
to pieces, he being a fielder who was
brought in for the game, and four runs
crossed the plate, where one would
have been the mark if an easy chance
had been accepted.
The Punahous began with bunting,
which seemed to put it over the Elks
as it did the II. A. c. on the first ap-
pearance of the team. Forbes and
Babbitt dropped the ball in front OF
the plate and were safe. Tucker was
due to hit and did So sending double
into right. Brown returned finely and
Babbitt was caught of third, Tucker
being nabbed slumbering off second.
Forbes in the meantime scoring the
run which opened up the counting.
There was nothing to it from that time
to the ninth. The Elks played like
machines. Perine kept the hits scat
tered, placing a strike out where it
would do the most good, until the
ninth. There had been never more
than two men on bases, the errors be-
in= few, the tricks and plays being
high class Then the easter egg broke.

ment later on the drive of Waterhouse

quartet, which spelled beat for the
Elks.
