Inside the field a running track, eight

ELKS vs.. PUNAhOU.

The first game was called few
minutes before two o'clock. Punahou
won the toss and the Eiks took first
innings Cusack stepped into the box
to open the season of 1905. In honor
of the occasion DeSha presented him
with four balls and his first base. He
stole second but that was as far as he
got. Hampton flew out to third and
Cogswe1l and Wilder to left field.
Bushnell of Punahou opened up the
game for the Buff and Blue with hit
that Evers could not get to first in
time to catch him. The next moment,
however, he was caught trying TO steal
second and sent home to the bench.
Woods popped a little fly to first while

Yesterday that Iong-awaited event.
the opening of the baseball league sea
son. took place. Honolulu fans We're
there In force. All the familiar faces
were to be seen in the grand stand
and in the "steerage'' outside. Nor was
the game without the inspiration that
the presence of fair femininity can
lend to it. Fully a third of the seven
teen hundred people who witnessed the
opening of the season of 1905 Were
that they were all of the variety that
doesn't know the difference between
a base-hit and a back-stop. Oh, no.
Your Honolulu baseball girl is a true
fan and talks errors and sacrifices as
fuently as she does tucks and ruffies.
But still the feminine instinct is not
wholly lost in her. One young lady
who was making grave comments in
conventional baseball lingo" stopped
long enough to pass comment on the
carefully tied bow at the neck of
players jersey. His mother must have
tied ii for him." she remarked.
Enthusiasm was most marked. While
the games of yesterday were not as
fire exhibitions of baseball as have
been seen there were plenty of exciting
crises in them. The fans who have
been keeping their voices these many
months gave vent to their feelings
once more and made the rafters ring
with their shouts. Once or twice
pretty hits brought the audience to its |
feet. The crowd was, on the. whole, |
with the under dogs. Though the |

that Sheldon was slightly injured. He
stole second on a throw by catcher
over center fielder's head. Louis fol-
lowed with another single, scoring En-
Sue. Then the rout began. Williams
put hot one in right fielder's hands
and he muffed it. Joy hammered out
another single and the Rams went to
pieces. Jones threw the ball away in
to center field allowing two men to
score. Wild pandemonium reigned in
the grandstand, adding to the confu-
sion below. A Williams made two

Rams took a brace and chalked up

Try as they would, however, the next
inning brought them a goose egg while
Jimmy Williams sneaked home in the
next inning, starting with a hit and
being carried along by errors and his
own ingenuity. The Kams managed
to get one man on third in the in
ming but that was all. Both sides
went out without a score in the third
and fourth. Two runs were set down
to the credit of the Reds in the fifth.
Barney Joy was responsible for the
first, the one home run of the day.

Stiles essayed a grounder to second
with equally disastrous results
Nanatta opened the second by start
ing bah rolling towards first but
was not fast enough to beat it there.
One of the most spectacular plays of
the game came in this inning when
Desha stumbled and missed Kia's fly
to left field. Stiles ran after the ball
threw to second whence it was thrown
home catching White out at the plate.
Grady went out on an infield ground
er. Punahou went out in one two,
three order.
The plate was first crossed in the
third. Cusack took advantage of a
wild pitch and chalked up a tally for
the Elks. The next one died on third.
Judd lined out a pretty hit into left
field in the Punahou half of the inning
but was forced out at the plate by
Bushnell. The inning ended without
results for Punahou. Both teams drew
blanks in the next inning, only one
man getting as far as first. The EllSs
drew a goose egg in the fifth.
Amid the widest excitement Puma

went out at first. Then L. Judd plant

THE OPENING GAMES.

Punahou and the Elks met for the
first time. Before the game the odds
were in favor of the Elks and they
won comfortably. But there was no
time in the game when the score might
have been changed. The Punahou
team, composed of younger players, put
up a game that surprised many, even
of the staunchest supporters of the
buff and blue. There are some weak
spots in the team and experience will
help some of the men but there is no
reason why Punahou should not be
among the leaders this year. Both
teams made the same number of hits
and Punahou made four more bases
than their opponents, in spite of this
they lacked the ability of getting the
men in, several times leaving a man
on third. Judd of the Punahou team
leads the batting average now with
three hits to his credit.
The second game was more one
sided. The IT. A C.s started out with
a rush and carried the Kams off their
feet. After the first score the blue
and white players got ratified and re-
covered themselves too late to win the
game. After the first inning it was
long stern chase but the H. A C.s
were in too good trim TO De caught
and added materially to their score
through the game. The Hams had
rally in the sixth and seventh and held
their own through the remainder of the
struggle but they were doomed after
the first deadly rout. There is one
criticism of this team that may be
made. That is that they are brilliant
players but lack team work. Yester-
day at least one chance to nut out a
man was lost by players running into
each other and almost every descend
ing fly was surrounded by a bevy of
eager players, all anxious to get hold
of it. Such interference is likely to
bring disastrous results some time. The
H. A C.s have a good team that
works well together The Rams have
excellent material and should show up

MORE ELK TALES.

Desha opened the seventh by walk
ing White and Kia but Grady forced
White out on third. Kia came home
on a wild throw from pitcher to first.
Evers next came to the bat and knock
ed a hot fly out into left field bring
ing Grady home. Cusack and Hamp
ton both hit to Judd and went out at
first. Punahou started in to make up
the lead and for a time it looked as
if she might succeed. L, Judd open
ed the ball with two base hit into
left field. G. Desha went out on
caught foul while E. Desha flew out
to left field. Bushnell saved the day
with a beautiful three Dagger, bring
ing Judd home. Woods was next at
the bat and with Bushnell on third
the rooters howled for another score.
A fast ball to short which was thrown
to first made the last out and pre-
vented further scoring. Cogswell open
ed the eighth with a little hit but came
to grief while trying to steal second.
Two others did not even get to first.
Stiles knocked a pretty two Dagger
along the left foul line, G. Judd made
a sacrifice but Ahrens and Williams
famed and another tally died on third.
The Elks wound up with another tai
ly made by Kia through clever bunch
ing of hits. White opened the inning
with a fine two Dagger into the left
fence but was forced out by Kia.
Singles by Grady and Evers put Kia
across the plate. Punahou went out

cIaImed Mllk klIled Babies.

Providence, r. John +. MacDon-
aid, a milkman, has been arrested on
a warrant charging manslaughter. The
warrant was issued after an autopsy
performed upon the bodies of William
and Ella Stanley, months old twins,
who died April H. The medical ex.
aminer, DR.. John c. Pegram, Jr., gave
as his opinion that the childred died
of chronic fOrmaldehyde poisoning.
Macdonald was arraigned at a spec.
ial session of the district court
and was held for trial April 2S, in $10,-
900 BAIL which was furnished by
friends of the prisoner. He was also
arraigned on a charge of three viola.
tions of the milk laws and held in
bonds of 5000 Macdonald pleaded not
guilty on all charges.
Macdonald had supplied the Stanley
family with milk for five years. w. O..
Scott, the city milk inspector, exam
ined samples of the milk delivered to
the Shanley family and milk taken
from MacDonald's cans. In each in.
stance formaldehyde was found, as
well as aniline colOring, which made
the milk appear thick and creamy.
The warrant against Macdonald
charged him with the manslaughter of
the little girl Ella. An inquest has
been ordered by the coroner.
The two babies, whose only food was
the milk supplied by Macdonald, were
apparently in excellent health in the
morning, but later in the day were taxi

and died within five hours.

man, he call it, 1t is very amusing" !"

who said this to an American. The

are not over-fond of the Americans,
are chuckling with JOY.
The administration knows what the
Venezuelans and other South Amer
leans are saying and Is intensely an

ment Is the knowledge that the
sneers Of the South Americans cover
a half truth, and proverblally half
truths hurt more than downright lies,

Castro would play out the game to
