HOT BASEBALL. IN
WINTER LEAGUE

/ Aided by a piece of bad judgment on
the part of the umpire at a critical
stage of the game, the Aalas defeated
the Makikis yesterday at KapiolanI
Park in. one of the most exciting and
scientific games of baseball witnessed
this season either at the League Park
or Kapiolani Park. The two nines so
evenly matched, that excitement al
ways runs high when they cross bats,
had to play ten innings forsthe supre-
macy, the score standing then 6 to
in favor of the Aalas.
Although the Aalas have as many
friends as the Makikis, yet sympathy
was more with the latter nine in yes
terday's game for the reason that with
the defeat of the Aalas, the Artillerys.
Makikis and Aalas would be a tie for
first place at the present stage of the
season. The victory of the Aaias
places them in the lead.
The second game, between the Homo
lulu Iron Works and the Pacifics,
showed the latter nine completely out
classed, the score being IA to for the
Iron Moulders.

For the first two innings the teams
held each other down and then tho
Aalas in the third captured a run. the
Makikis following with a couple or
talIies on the bulletin board.
In the fifth inning excitement be-
gan to grow tense. Pitcher Anderson
at the bat for the Aalas knocked a
bounder to shortstop Fern. The latter
ran to second, putting out Kuhia. who
was forced from first, and then threw
4 to first, putting out Anderson. This
double play started the side-lines to
talking and cheering which rarely
stopped until the end of the game.
Luning was caught out. The Mahkis
began playing the finest kind of ball,
every man playing his position.
i When the Mallikis came to the bat,
En- Gee, brother of En- Sue of the Ho-
nolulus, welded the hickory with
who missed. En- Gee Travelled around
the diamond to third base like scared
hare, and was brought in by Freitas.
who went to third base on a bad throw
from second to home. The greatest
excitement prevailed then and the Ar
Etillerys danced with joy as they
thought they saw possible defeat for
the Aalas. But the game was young
then and only fairly on.
Almost every hit of the Aalas in the
sixth inning was captured by the Ma
kikis. Then suddenly out of the de-
preston came a three Dagger by Mac
farlane, who brought in w. Ayau. "A
fly swatted by Annoy to leftfield was
muffed by En- Gee, he and G. Bruins
coming together with crash In an
effort to capture it. MacfarIane also |
scored. This tied the score.
With the Makikis at the bat two men |
went out in hurry on some pretty in |
fielding, and Simpson, while trying to |
steal away from second. was nfpped. |

on a steal Luning was unfortunately |
caught at the home plate 1t was a |
desperate attempt but failed disas- |
trously. The Makikis failed to score |
in this inning.
In the eighth Macfarlane ran three
bags on a beautifully placed ball into
the field, and stole to the home plate
when a thrown ball by pitcher passed
the third )baseman. This left the score
to 8 in favor of the Aalas.
1t was then up to the Makikis to hold
down the Aalas and this they did. |
Simpson started things moving by
making a base hit and Went to second |
when the pitcher failed to pick UP the
ball sent in to him from the field. This
looked good to the soldiers ana the
crowd in general and it looked as if
Anderson would get Hurried and pitch
Wild. The Aalas did seemingly lose
their heads temporarily for in the di1i
and confusion, H. Bruins hit one to
third, the ball passed third base,
Simpson came home, and Bruins ran
to the third bag. Another passed ball
sent Bruins home and the score was
again tied. The hope for Mak1kI
victory then died when En- Gee and G.
Bruins went out at first on base hits.

Ing. dash, but Olnlost was afterward
put out trying to do the same thing.
Ayau went out on an easy hit. Mac
farlane after getting to second base
died there.
The Makikis had no luck in the last
part of the tenth and went out In l,

1t was in the seventh inning that the
crowd disapproved of Umpire Russel's
decision as to En- Gee. The latter had
