4 q The Kams received the hardest beat
fling al the hands of the Elks on Sat
urday last that they have received in
! the history of their organization.
| The Rams and the Males are the
| only two teams that have been shut
out this season and both of them at
| the hands of the Elks.
1t is said that the Elks are playing
faster ball than. any other team that
| has ever played baseball in the Homo
| lulu league. They are certainly work
ing together both in the field and at
the bat. They lead the league both in
| hitting and fielding. They have aver
aged less than two errors to the game
| and have four men hitting over the
800 mark. Now that is travelling some.
Besides they have won all their games
with the greatest ease
Bill Hampton, the clever pitcher, is
leading in batting with an average of
almost hit to every two times at
the bat. At present he is batting .416.
This is certainly a great record for a
pitcher and is enough to make any
ball player feel proud.
En- Gee leads brother En- Sue with
the stick. 1t is not all in experience.
Talk about fielding. Well, Bill Van
was there with the goods on Saturday
last and the way that the ''old horse
put them away was a delight to wit
ness He had some hard chances but
they all looked alike to Bill. He was
going some with the stick also.
Reuter- is certainly up against the
real thing" when he tackles the
Elks. They always beat him.
Ed Desha is also another pitcher
that is doing things with the willow.
He is leading his team.
1t is surprising to see how some of
the old timers have fallen off in bat
ting. Gleason, Koki. Moore, Vannat-
ia, Reuter-. Sheldon, Judd, Woods and
Wright are all below the 200 mark.
On Saturday the Elks meet the
Males and are almost sure to add
another scalp to their belt. The
Males are not playing the best of ball
at present and from them the EIks
should have no trouble. The other
game will be between the two tail
enders, Puns and H. A c. This
should be a good game. as both teams
will put up a desperate struggle to
keep from last place. In their former
meeting the Colts won their first and
only game. The Reds viii try and re-
verse matters this meeting.
On Sunday the team from the Ha
Telephones. This game will be play
ed at Kapiolani Park. Sparks will fly
when these two teams meet.
EIGHTEEN INNINGS: 1 To 0.
We sometimes think that we have
some hot baseball here in Honolulu
and it is true too. Here is a game
between Princeton and Amherstaw which
lasted for eighteen innings and was
played in 2 hours 40 minutes. This ISL
the most remarkable game of baseball
ever played in the annals of intercol-
legiate- baseball. For seventeen and
one half innings neither team could
score a run In the eighteenth Prince
ton brought one run across the plate
ard even that was unearned.
Up 10 the twelfth inning there was
not man that reached third base |
and in the. entire game only three men
got that far. This was not because |
the batters did not hit the ball. for |
altogether there We're "a put-Outs. A |
assists. There We're Il safe hits in the |
game.
Both pitchers lasted the entire game
and each threw over 400 balls. This !
shows the great test that they were
