The H. A. C.'S and Elks will fight
out the finals for the baseball cham
pionship. Punahous hopes were shat

In the tenth inning Of the Pun-H. A
C.'s game En- Sue dashed across the
plate with the winning run. The score
was 3 to 2, and the game was cork

The Elks and Males furnished five

the heavens upon the earth beneath

stood to 1, and 1t was plenty.
