KAMS WIN In The NINTH

The first game Of baseball at the
park Saturday afternoon was between
the Elks and Males and was won by
the former, the score being to 2. The
Males played a better game than ever
before and at one time 1t looked as IL
they might win out. There was a
change all around for the good of the
team and the boys played with more
spirit. Wood, the left fielder, was the
star player Of the day. He caught two
men out at the plate and one at third
base by phenomenal throws from po-
sitions near the fence. Bob White OF
the Naval Station was another player
who did some star work. Honan in
the box was steady player and did
excellent work.
The second game OF the day was one
that the boys have characterized as
the limit" Never did the Kamehame-
has show up so badly. They seemed to
put absolutely no spirit into their
work, the exceptions being Kekuewa
behind the bat, Vannatta at second and
Aylett out in center. Reuter- in the
box was not in form and bases on balls
we're numerous.
The Honolulus, on the other hand,
were out for business and they raped

was no change and people began to

Those who remained until the ninth
inning we're well paid for their patience
and there was demonstrated the fact
that game OF baseball is never fa-
ished until three men are out In the
last half Of the last inning.
In the fifth inning, joys arm began
to weaken and in the seventh he told
the members Of the team that he could
no longer pitch, but II was decided
that he should remain In the box. This
was where the II. A.. C.'s made their
mistake, for 1t cost them the game. In
the ninth, the Kamehamehas pulled
out seven runs, even Catcher Kekuewa
rapping the ball. The crowd in the
grand stand went fairly wild vfth en-
thusiasm and standing up on the seats,

The Eonolulus made one run in the
ninth, which sent their score to s. II

fence for a three-bagger and Vannatta.

sheet from the strenuousness of the po.

wild to third for Lemon, who came
down the stretch to the plate for the
winning run. The Kamehameha sym.

attempted to carry the whole team off.
