Maui Baseball People Wonder How
II All Happened and Have
Their Theories.

| MAUI May 30.-The unexpected
surely happened at the baseball game
at Wells Park, wailuku. on the after
noon of the oath. The hitherto invinci-
BILE Morning Stars" were shut out,
whitewashed. by the wailukus by the
large score of 10 to 0. Practice guild
ed by wisdom will bring success al
most invariably,-other things being
equal. For the last two weeks, early
and late the Waikiki boys have prac-
ticed trying to remedy their weakness
at the bat and they seem. judging
from the last game, TO have accom-
plished their purpose.
George Cummings arm was in pro-
per shape and ne struck out ten of the
STARS" while Jackie" (Jackson) sup
posed to be the best pitcher of the
Maui league. famed out but one of
the Wailuku boys.
The wailukus should certainly be
congratulated on their pluck. All last
season they brought up the rear of the
procession. this year they seem des-
tined TO be the winners.
WONDERS HOW IT HAPPENED.
The Maui News has the following:
How did it ever happen?" Well,
there are several answers to that
query, according to the point of view.
Some have a fixed conviction that
there was kahuna work going on
Others claim that The magic wore
.'HaiIuku'' carries success with it this
year. While not prepared to combat
either of these views, still the News
will modestly state it's own deductions,
with reference to the result of last
Sundays game between the Wailukrs
and the Morning Stars.
While the Star team. contains no
phenoms, yet each member plays a
good game, and constant practice has
developed them to about as high
state of excellence as they can hope
10 achieve. Pickard's long absence has
dulled the keen edge of his play, and
the loss of Ned Kruger to the Ilimas
was also seriously felt. But hereto
fore no other team on Maui has been
able to down them, because no team
has worked together long enough. For
several weeks the Wailukus have beer
looking forwarded % last Sunday
game. and for two weeks they have
practiced steadily. There is no ques-
ton but that the Wailukus have two
or three better all-round men than the
stars. notably Cummings, Cornwen
and Wright. and the average of the
team last sunday was quite up to that
nj the stars. 1t was less individual
1uality, however. than OF constant
team practice by the Wailukus that
told in the game. Cummings and Corn
well. the battery of the Wanukus, de-
serve special and honorable mention
for their work throughout the whole |
game The WaiIukus played an even |
rame of such high excellence that only !
,ne error was noted in the reporters
score-book. The Stars showed some |
fine individual work, notably run |
ming single-hand catch of a sky ball |
,y Smith in center field, which was the
most brilliant performance during the
game.
The waiIukus took the bat in the
7rst inning. and after Hose died at
irst. Cornweu negotiated a bag. Then
cummings played his stick for a three
,aeger. bringing CornwelI home, and
rottad across home plate on an error.
Holt flew out and Kaiai died on first

Then the Morning Stars tried out. A

aced a goose egg.
