FAST HKS TAKE LEAD
MALES AND H.A.C.
LOSE HARD GAMES
@. pEsHA's CATCH IN LEFT Is A
FEATURE - HAMPTON AND
CESHA SHOW up
WELL.

There was baseball good, bad and in.
different at the park last Saturday, but
most of It was good, and some Of the
big.league brand. All the teams are
settling down to work now, and the
various playing cogs are getting oiled
up. The infields are hanging together
better than the first games and 1t takes
batting to get man around the bases.
Earned runs come over the plate now,
instead of scores on errors. II was
timely batting that won the Punahous
their first victory of the season. The
Puns trimmed the II. A. C.'s handsome
ly by the score Of to 3. The cellar
champions were about due to win a
game, anyway, and they deserved to
win. Then the Elks and the Males
came together for first place, and when
the dust of conflict had cleared away
the unbeaten Males were unbeaten no
longer, for the Elks romped home easy
winners, 6 to 0. Both games were good.
Every once in while when the games
had been going along uneventfully
somebody would pop up with star
play and rouse the crowd to wholesome
enthusiasm, and both contests were run
of in fast time.
The Puns won the first game because
they at last got their eye on the ball.
When this bunch gets to hitting hard,
Il Is going to move up the ladder, for 1t
Is a good performer in.the field. And
Eddie Desha is pitching better every
day. Backed up by fast fielding, he had
all the II. A. c. batters swinging wild.
30 tha oh n mt fatlnl to
meet, and he was steady as a family
horse, passing only one. The hits were
all scattered. except in the fourth,
when a single and triple made things
look bad for a minute. But the Pun
twirler had the goods about him and
held the champions safe after that.
Defries took Barney Joys place on the
slab, and was hit rather freely. He
pitched great ball in spots, but was
! unable to strike out the batters in tight
pinches several times.
| George Desha furnished the real
fielding feature of the afternoon, and
the Punahou left gardener pulled off
the greatest play seen this year. There
were two men out and bases empty
when Defries came to bat. The Homo.
lulu pitcher laid onto the ball and start
ed a fast liner over third base that had
all the ear.marks of double. Desha
went out at the crack of the bat, run.
ming like Russian general, and while
on the dead run stuck out his hand.
Someway the ball stuck there. 1t was
a great play and Desha got the hand
he deserved. AS usual with heroes,
when he next came to bat he faded
away on an easy grounder.
Stiles started the register In the first
inning. He sent long drive to center
Louis misjudged ar.' came In. The
ball went over his head and Stiles cir
c!ed the bases for a home run.
In the fourth the champions amassed
three tallies by good stick work. A
Williams got a life at first on Kin
Fook's error. Gleason hit safe to left
Defries slashed over right fields head
for three bases, scoring Williams and
Gleason. Defries scored few moments
later when Kila lifted a long fly t.
center.
Doc Monsarrat's face was darker
than its usual brunette hue at this
stage of the game. His protegees hat

the sky was overcast again. However
