When one of the most strenuous
games of baseball ever played on Maui
was over at Wells Park, Wailuku. on
July 4, the Punahou team found itself
defeated nine by the All-Maui team,
the score being II to s in favor of the
latter. 1t was big victory for the
Maui,s, for in the nine innings they had
practically knocked pitchers besha and
iAhrens out of the box, and batted Bah
bitt all over the field. Costly errors
and poor pitching went far toward the
breakdown of the Honolulu boys, al
though they put up a clean, sportsman
like game. The pitchers received ex-
cellent support, but errors on the part of
Campbell at third and one by Woods,
who? involutarily invaded cehterfeld's
territory to take in fly and failed, gave
the MauIs every chance to win
There is one thing to be said for the
Punahous. The field was a rough one
and bounce balls expected at a certain |
place bounded far over felders and
basemens heads. The Maui boys knew
every inch of the ground and played ac-
cordingly.
A bad decision by field umpire Gage
gave the Maui's an opportune advantage. |
Instead of permitting inner umpire Will |
liams to decide a third base matter, |
Gage arrogated the authority to himself |
Garcia of the Mauis ran from second to |
third on a safe hit to first by Morris. |
Morris was put ont and the ball was
thrown to third. Garcia was out ac-
cording to the clear view from home |
base. Gage from near second declared |
him safe. That aroused the ire of the |
Punahous and shortly afterwards they |
retired and the Mauis sent up a yell of |
victory. Captain Steere, however, de-
cided that being visitors they would |
play the game out.
Another time when Campbell was run
ming bases, Cummings, Maui's third |
baseman, blocked his way after missing |
the ball and prevented Campbell from
making home base, which at that time |
would have tied the score.
The Mauis have a fine pitcher, whose |
mighty arm puts hot balls across the |
me-plate. They have a good first |
baseman. and in fact, the whole team
does not develop many weak points.
The teams and scores were as follows:
