PUNAHOUsIMAY
QUIT WINTER BALL

Sunday baseball was not altogether
at it's best at Kapiolani Park, never
theless the crowd had an opportunity
to witness some pretty good ball play
ing in spots. The Aalas defeated the
Iron Works 10 to 4, and the Punahous
were wiped out by the Mahkis, score II
to 5. The term wiped OUT in connec-
ton with the Punahou defeat, is used
advisedly, for it is believed that the
team will quit playing in the league,
having thus far failed to win a game.
Pitcher Larsen, a hard worker in the
Punahous, was fairly Disguised yes
terday with the continual round of de-
feats and announced that in all prob
ability his team would leave. The Pu-
nahous are hard workers but lack CO.
hesion in team playing,
Decisions of the umpire were open to
criticism in at least two instances. one
where a player had made home run,
but on reaching home plate was de-
ciared to be out for allegedly having
failed to touch first base in his circuit.
The other was calling a batted ball fair
when it passed the left field foul flag
at least two feet on the outside.
AALAs VS.. IRON WORKS.
The first two innings opened up well,
neither side getting a run. 1t was good
tn<a11 h 81, I t11nf fr-6 in
ing: the Aalas marked up two tallies
on the score board. In the fifth in
ming the Iron rnoulders made a couple
of runs, evening up the score. 1t look
ed as If they would get the score away
up when Pryce planted pretty one
between left field and center. This sent
him around to third, bringing in Ku-
hina. Pitcher Anderson of the Aalas
became somewhat easy for the Iron
men after getting two men out. On a
base hit by Kamana, Pryce fairly slid
to the home plate, Anderson making an
error in throwing to home instead of to
first base at that stage of the game.
The inning ended with four runs earned.
In the sixth the Aalas took a brace,
for E. Ayau and Sullivan came In at
the start on Luning's little hit, third
base and short stop muffing the tap.
Luning got to third on a passed ball,
failing to get home when Macfarlane
went out on a base hit.
The Iron Works failed to score in this
inning and continued to pile up goose
eggs to the end Of the game. Then
the Aalas made two more runs in the
seventh, w. Ayau and Kaiolo scoring
on Anderson's smashing grounder to
right field.
In the eighth inning the Aalas were
deprived of a we'll deserved home run
made by Macfarlane, the umpire alleg-
ing that the runner had failed to touch
the first bag on the circuit of the bases.
From the side line view Macfarlane GER
tainIy did touch the bag, close observa-
tion being made by spectators at this
time on the assumption that the umpire
might be hypercritical on that very
score The run was disa1lowed.
The first half of the ninth was a de-
plorable Waterloo to the Iron Workers,
for their opponents piled up seven runs.
Anderson managed to bring in two men
at the opening. Then wild pitch
brought in Sullivan. Then Macfarlane
showed the stuff of which he was made
by swatting another ball over center
field and making a home run, this time
lighting on top of the bags with
whack. There was no installing the
run this time. He brought in Anderson,
Olmost also came in behind Anderson.
The Aalas finished the game by going
out in one, two. three order.
The teams lined up as follows:
Aalas-E. Ayau, S.; H. Sullivan, IF;

MAKIKIS VS.. PUNAHoUS.
It was all day with the Punahous,
and may also probably be all year with
them If they quit the league after sus-
tanning another crushing defeat. The
Makiki-Punahou game was not so bad
as the score indicates. The fault with
the Punahous has been largely in
changing their men from position to po-
sttion until no man is absolutely quail
fed to play the best that is in him in
whatever position he may be assigned.
Both teams scored gooseeggs for the
first three innings, the Punahous hold
