repetition of the Kam.-H. A. c. game

yelled from the grandstand, and the
gallant Marines certainly tried to do
the shutting. but the Elks evened the
score and, in the tenth inning the
Males failing to count. two Elks came
home on a salvation strike down CEN

ball good when opportunity offers.
In the second game the Kamehame-
has defeated the Punahous by 8 toll.
While some poor play obtruded in
spots In both games, each event was
entertaining to a degree and the big
crowd had its mouth full most of the
time with enthusiastic applause and
pertinent comment.
Castle pitched for the Punahous. As
he walked to the box he was received
with general appreciative noise. The
team seemed the better In spirit for his
presence and the game satrted well.
In the third inning, however, Castle
was suffering with a most painful left

his arsund-the-field tactics, but had to
abolish the system on account of his

ton to keep apitching in spite of the
evident pain endured won for Castle
the applause OF the crowd. After hurt

difficulty In running. Captain Vanat-
tn, of the Kams. was asked to allow
another man to run for the lame play

and the grandstand. with one accord,

When the Rams went to bat after this

Cured in the eighth inning of the KAN
Punahou game. Koki went to bat and
knocked long. high fly into right
field. Soper saw It coming and, while
he had plenty of time to run to where
the ball was about to drop, missed II
by some fifteen yards by poor judg.

was no room to doubt that he could

In the first game Roberts went to the
