Such baseball was not before, in
recent years. seen by such a crowd as
filled the baseball park yesterday aft
ernoon, to see the games which result
ed. as forecast, in the evening up Of
of the league race. As it now stands,
the percentage of the Punahous, Ka-
mehamehas. H. A. Cs. and Elks is 500.
with FIVE games played and three won.
each, the Males having won no games
as yet.
The first game between the Colleg-
ians and the club men was not up to
the mark. Williamson, just off a ship,
was in no condition to face the heavy
batters of the club, and the game was
quite tame in consequence. The second
was a game for hearts in mouths, for
it was anyone's. hard game to lose for
the Kamehamehas. Reuter- had the
better of the pitching, but his sup
port was not faultless, and the Rams
did not run bases with any headwork
at all. or the tale might have been diff
ferent. The crowd was even greater
than on opening day, and everyone
could not find a seat.
