Before a crowd OF close to 1,500 peo-
ple, for more than 1000 paid for tick
-ets. the Punahous and Elks won the
first games of the baseball season yes
terday afternoon. The defeats OF the
II. A. C.s and the Kamehamehas were
rather unexpected. especially the form
er. for Joy was said to be in fine form,
as was Lemon, but by the big scores
in one case IL to 3 and In the other
13 to 8. the winners took the first or
the season, and upset, as well, every
calculation They will meet next Sat
urday.
The first game was remarkable in
that very few people expected Puma
hou to make such good showing
Joy was not up to form. He was hit
almost at will, while Babbitt. depend
ing ON head work, kept the flying mon
ograms guessing. The second game,
too, was marked by an exhibition OF
most sportsmanlike behavior. The
groaning and kissing which greeted
Perrine, the newly arrived pitcher for
the EIks. caused one Honolulan by
birth to remark: HE can't help it If
his father wasn't born here" The vis-
itor played gentlemanly. game, work
ed hard, and before the close OF the
contest won many friends by his bear
ing.
This game, however, will be the sub
ject of some litigation within the
League later. Perrine has a peculiar
delivery. He moves his left foot twice,
generally to the side and front. He
has pitched in the same style on the
Coast, yet yesterday there was pro-
test made, and it ended in the filing OF
a formal announcement that there
would be trouble before the trustees,
by the Kamehamehas' manager.
