On the hot baseball field which the
Mid Winter League has mapped out
within the old race track circle at Ka-
piolani Park there were played yes
terday afternoon two games of ball
which were sizzlers. The games were
free and that brought out a big crowd.
Both games were of the close kind
which makes the ninth inning the
period when everybody is on tiptoe,
watching every curve and every swish
of the hickory.
The first game. between the MakikiS
and Honolulu Iron Works, was won
by the former. to a. and the second
game, between the Aalas and Alohas,
by the former s to Z.
The games brought out some of the
oldtime fans. men who were hoarse
from shouting at the big league games
doc" Monsarrat, Charley Falk, for
Charley is President of the Mid Win
ter league, and dozens of others, and
they all stayed to the end of the last
| inning-18 in all.
H l. WIS VS.. MAKIKIS.
The first game was good in spots.
In the second inning the Makikis con-
nected with two runs and the Iron
men began to look blue. Pete Rod
riques, the herculean pitcher for the
+ tn he cnh
across the plate in a manner which
kept it hot and the batters guessing.
Those two runs started the yelling,
but the next two innings showed that
the shouting was little premature
for between tanning out and going
out on pop flies, there was moth
ing going up on the score board, but
ciphers.
In the fourth inning the Iron men
took a brace and started out courage
| ously to change the face of the score.
Third baseman Freitas smashed into
| left-field for a base hit and then slid
down to second, raising cloud of dust
on reaching the bag beneath the base
mems TRIBES. But it was all for moth
| ing, for Swanston went out on a fly,
| Kamana famed, and little Patrick
| sent roller to first and went out,
1 leaving Freitas dead on second. In the
| latter half the Makikis went up in
smoke.
Then came the fifth and again the
| Iron men essayed to break hoodoo, but
| the hoodo stuck Pete Rodriques
| made prodiguous effort to f1atten out
| the ball. striking at everything in
sight, but to no purpose. With the
| Makikis it was different. Little Medei-
ros walked to first, slid to second, and
| then the crowd woke up again, for
something was doing. When Kiwa
| whisked the willow over home. Lunine
| in the mask got nervous and let a
ball pass him, and while he was pick
ing it up near the wire netting Medei-
ros made an exciting run in and
scored.
In the sixth the Iron workers chang
ed their luck and the score by tally
ing once. Swanston touched up the
sphere, sending it hurting between
first and second and brought the swift
Portuguese in from second. The sec
ond half gave the Makikis another
run, to the credit of NJ. Sebastian. 1t
was a lucky thing for Sebastian that
he had plenty of leeway to get home,
as he was afraid half the time to leave
his base.
In the seventh. little Patrick did a
stunt which put him up as a topnotch-
er with the willow. He sent a home
run hit over into left-feld's territory,
which rolled out on to the race track.
during which time Patrick scurried
around the diamond like a, scared cat.
In the eighth inning the Iron men
got the score started upward again.
SWANSON followed Hussey to first
sending the plucky catcher down to
second. Then Kamana connected I'D
for a little one over third base bring
ing in Hussey and putting Swanston
on the third bag. Kamana quickly
stole down to second. A passed ball
brought SWANSON home and then
Patrlck famed. and old Tom Pryce, |
the veteran of three decades, stopped |
the fun by getting put out, second to |
first, on an easy hit.
The Makikis started I'D with some
not ball playing. Umpire Moore de-
clared Scharsch out at first. but the
umpire was not in as good position |
to see the play as the crowd along the |
Scharsch was on the bag safe enough. |
Nevertheless, NJ. Sebastian took a run
around the bases and scored, and that I,
was the last run made that game. the |
score standing in ninth, to 4, favor |
