A HOT GAME
OF BASEBALL
Punahous and II. A. C.'s
Put Up the Real
Article,

morning S paper that there would be a
least one hot game at the park. The
dope held good, as the first game be-
tween the Punahou and H. A c. teams
was the real article. 1t is not every
day in the week that such a struggle
can be seen on the baseball diamond.
1t is very seldom, moreover, that one
game out of the two played by the
locals is not good, and when the fans
see two games for the price and one
is good, there should be no kick COM
ing.
day in a crippled condition. Jim Will
liaRns was out of it for the Reds, and
L. yJudd, the regular catcher for the
COTS was on the bench nursing a bad
mitt. En- Sue was put on second for
the former, and Bob McCorriston, who
has not caught a ball this season, was
substituted for the latter. Both these
lads played their positions well, and it
was through no fault of theirs that
their team was not able to win hands
down.
De Fries was in the box for last
years Champs, and he received a good
warming. In all, the Colts found him
for eleven safe ones and some of them
were very costly. He only succeeded in
tanning three and gave six passes.
Desha, who played speed artist for the
Colts kept his hits more scattered and
allowed but eight safeties. He passed
four Reds and struck out seven. This
is fair work, but nothing to boast of.
1t was on the base lines that the Puns
won out, and by taking some desperate
chances they managed. to sneak one
more run home than their opponents.
Barney Joy was the whole thing with
the stick. hitting hard for three safe
ones. One of these was a three sacker
in deep right. Barney is going some
with the willow these days. and is sure
to be in the top of the heap when the |
season closes For the Puns Meyer, |
Judd and Woods did some good work
with the club, and all hit when runs
were needed.
SECOND GAME.
The second game between the Elks |
and Males, was never in doubt, and the |
dsrubbing that Freitas got from the |
hands of Richardson's Pirates will last |
in the memory of the young pitcher |
for days to come The Elks poked out !
10 safe hits in the first three innings !
and were all smiling in their sleeves ,
about how they would fatten their |
averages, when Anderson, the crack |
Aala speed merchant, was put in Ere
itas's place. Anderson proved a mys-
terry to the sluggers, and they were +,
only able to connect three times with /
his benders. If Anderson had been put
in during the first inning this story
might read differently.
Sam Leslie, the big ex-cop, broke in
to the game and donned the mask and
protector Sam was a little out of
form, due to his good time in Frisco.
His arm has lost none of its clever
ness and he gave an exhibition of good
throwing.
Hampton was, as usual, in the game
from start to finish, and allowed but
four singles, all of the scratchy order
He also increased his high batting
average with three safe ones Tine
Elks played their usual brilliant field
ing game and but for Cogswells miss
of a ground hit ball would have come
off with a clean record
COLTS s-REDS z.
The Puns were first up and drew
blank. En- Sue and Louis for the Reds
were soon retired and with two men
out. Giant Joy caught the horsehide
square on the nose for three bases. A.
Williams was there with his usual hit
and Barney scored.

the second. and We're out in fast order
In the third L. Judd hit safe and was :
advanced to third by Woods's drive to
right. Judd soon got home on wild
throw Woods stole second, third and
home. This put the Colts one to the
good but it was not long-lived as in
their half of the third, aided by some
good hitting. and poor fielding on the
part of the Puns, Louis and Joy both
scored This in turn gave the Reds a
lead of one. In their half of the sixth
Gleason, Defries and Bruins crossed the
plate and it looked like the Puns were
dead ones. They did not lay down,
however and by some up mill work
scored in the seventh. This placed
the score 5 to s in favor of the Reds.
Each team scored one run in the s
eighth.
In the ninth. Judd walked and was
advanced to third by Woods, who hit J
safe. Meyer was next up and was
there with the necessary and both Judd {
and Woods scored. The Reds could do
nothing in their half of the ninth and !
so were defeated by the narrow margin
of one run after a close and exciting
game.
