Punahous Win Forfeit
But Lose Game
Played.


game of baseball between the Homo
| lulu Iron Works and the Punahous
regularly scheduled to take place al
| Kapiolani Park yesterday afternoon
under the auspices of the Winter
League. did not take place.
There was to be but one game played
in order to straighten out the schedule
for the remainder of the season. The
game, according to the Iron Works
men, was to be played at $3.50. The
Punahous said the game was scheduled
formed by Jess Woods, president of the
league, that 1870 was the hour named.
The Iron Workers, on arriving at the
grounds about $780, declared that they
had been officially informed that the
game would begin at $3.50 and they were
to be on the grounds before 8.
Umpire Cy. Russell sided with the
Punahous, and declared the game for
feited to the Punahous. 1t appears,
however, that representations were
made at this time that there was un-
time the game was to be played, as the
Iron Workers were only too willing to
play. The Punahous, with the excep-
ton of their manager, said they We're
willing to wait until the Iron men came
upon the field. The mana gers word
went, however, and the umpire decided
against the Iron Works.
About 2:30 the Iron men we're all on
the grounds and lively debate ensued
between them and the Punahous. The
umpire had meanwhile gone back to
town, or to the beach, no one knew just
where, but both teams finally decided to
play at least an exhibition game, and a
protest could be offered afterwards to
the league in proper form.
The crowd had dwindled away by this
time and the vendors of soda pop and
peanuts looked sad, but, as soon as the
exhibition game started, a new crowd
collected and everybody was happy.
1t was we'll that the Punahous had
had the assistance of the umpire in
giving them a forfeited" game, for
their playing showed they never had
chance TO win, even though they had
played al 1850. The game ended as fol-
lows: Iron Works, 10: Punahous, IA

The game opened up with the Puma
nous at the bat. Before they had time
to sort out their bats the first three men
had been declared out and the Iron men
then whacked away with the hickory.
1t was heartrending to see the score
climb up by twos and threes, until eight
runs had been scored. The Punahous
seemed to have struck an unfortunate
day for playing. First of all, their
second baseman muffed an easy roller,
and then two or three more. Pitcher
Larsen got into a huff about the field
ing and looked ready to quit and then
missed a couple of balls himself which
let in a couple of runs. Every ball
swatted away from the home plate by
the Iron men was missed by every man
on the team. Nobody could hold ball.
The Punahous took a brace on COM
ing to the bat, although two men We're
out before they walked up, and then
they made two runs. In their third in
ming Laurie Crook put a pretty one
over the center fields head and travel
ed around the bases in something of his
old 100-yard dash style, and scored
home run, bringing in big Larsen as
we'll. Four runs We're made in this
inning, which brought them up to with
in three of the Iron men.
The Iron men had no easy thing of
it during the second, third and fourth
innings. the striped stockinged boys
holding them down hard. The Puma
hous placed their spheres prettily just
in the right places to keep the hands OF
the Iron men from closing over them
at the vital instant. But in the fifth
inning Larsen got weary and then six
runs We're piled UP. The first five men
at the bat scored.
There We're some good steals, notably
one by Crook from first to second and
then to third, where unfortunately, at
ter such hard work. he was permitted
TO die naturally by a batter who famed
out.
The remainder of the game the Puma
hous got their second wind and held
their opponents down hard and worked
up their own score.
