Twsnty-Three.

There was a little good, much indif-
ferent and a whole lot of had bal
handed out to the patrons of the Win
ter League games yesterday afternoon
The game between the Metropolitans
and the Alohas was good-in spots:
that between the Diamond Heads and
the TWiiights was so fierce that it
growled
About BOO persons were present when
the players were called out for the first
game. 1t was a jolly, joshing crowd
in which the sons Of Portugal were
particularly conspicuous.
The curtain-raiser was between the
Metropolitans and the Alohas, the for
mer of which mines was making its
debut as a league team. The game
was interesting and fairly well con-
tested, with anything likely to happen
right up to the finish. The Metropol-
itanS won by the score of II to z, and
are very fair team, though there
might have been different tale to tell
had Hardy gone into the box instead
of Townsend in the first innings The
latter was sampled for six runs in the
first two innings and in the third
Hardy took hand at twirling and
held the job throughout the game,
holding down the Butchers to six runs

An interesting game between the
Diamond Heads and Twilights was ex-
pected ana the latter had any quantity
of supporters in the grandstand-before
the second innings, that is. The Twi-
lights had beaten the Lusitanas a week
ago and great things were expected of
them.
Poor old Twilights. They We're
knocked sky high by the speedy Jewels
and are now Skylights. 1t was % for
theirs, this package of runs being

Oh, but that second game was some
thing awful! The winners had 10 runs
chalked up to their credit at the ter
of the fifth and it then look
ed as if 19 more were coming. They |
probably would have arrived had any
premium been offered for their at
