HONOLULU
DEFEATED
Navy Eleven Easily Won
From the Local
Cricketers.

The cricket season of 1906 was opened
auspiciously at the Makiki ground yes
terday afternoon with match between
| H. NJ. S. Flora and Cambrian and a
Honolulu cricket club eleven
The day was fine for the game, al
though chill in the air at the end of
| the afternoon reminded one of first
game of the season in England in the
damp and dubious springtime.
A fair number of spectators wit
messed the game, including d sprinkling
of ladies who took lively interest in
the proceedings of the afternoon.
The local team was not as strong as
could have been mustered, the fact that
the game was played on Thursday,
| depriving the club of the services OF
some of its best men.
The match ended in very decisive
victory for the visitors by the margin
of 50 runs.
The visitors are a very even lot of
cricketers and showed up well in every
department of the game, the beating
they administered to the H. c.. c. being
INT oCNciSSt tildt lIlS CiltO mas SSSA IT,
ceived from a visiting eleven.
OF course the Honolulu side has had
no practice since last September, but
the navy men were in precisely the
same boat in that respect, so it was an
even break all round.
Three hundred and eighty-six runs
were scored in four hours play, when
is probably a record for the local
ground.
The visitors commenced their innings
at p. N. and closed it at 4 o'clock,
scoring at the rate of nearly runs
minute. The easy boundaries of the
Makiki ground is, however, responsible
in large measure for these remarkable
figures.
Lieut.. stahlknecht and Sergt. White
opened the innings for the Navy, fac
ing the bowling of Broad and Morse.
A poor start was made, 3 wickets
falling for 80 runs. Fifty-eight runs
were added before another man was
disposed of and the batting streak was
continued throughout the innings
which closed for o37 runs. The biggest
stand occurred sixth and seventh
wickets and netted the side 60 runs.
Chappell (54), Grant Dalton (40),
Hill (3S), Coppin $3.50 and Mccuteheon
{24) were the chief scorers, Grant-Dal-
ton and Coppin playing particularly
good cricket.
Morse and Jordan were the least ex-
pensive of the H. c. G. trundlers, the
latter having the better average at the
end of the game. Morse, however, sent
down nearly twice as many overs. The
Old Man g Jobs were more seductively
dangerous than ever yesterday.
Disaster attended the opening of the
Honolulu innings, Barron being quickly
caught and bowled by Drew for cou-
pie. Broadfoot and Gill put more
hopeful complexion on matters and 81
was hoisted on the board before an
next three men realizing only 9 runs
between them.
Broadfoot. who was well bowled by
Jinkin when he had compiled 45, saved
his side from utter collapse. His score
included tours.
Clunie $3.50, Maclean (23) and Lay
ard (12) tried in vain to stem the tide
of defeat and make a draw of it, but
the hands of the clock didn t move fast
enough for this purpose to be accom-
plished and the team had to put up with
defeat.
Gill (12) played useful game and
H. L. Herbert % whose cricket of re-
cent years has been limited to annual
meetings of the club, delighted the on
lockers with a display of batting in
quite his own finished style, until he
spooned one 2p, Coppin coping him.
Paymaster Jinkin easily carried off
bowling honors for the winners, secur- |
ing wickets for 46 runs. He bowls a
medium paced ball with pitch that is |
very awkward to Judge.
The wicket-k keeping of Capt. Grant |
Dalton was feature of the game, his |
clever work behind the sticks costing |
the H. c. C. the wickets of Morse and |
Clunie.
Viggo Jacobsen was at his old place
at the scoring table for the first time |
for several seasons. He viii act as Off |
cial scorer throughout the season.
A return match will be played at Ma
kiki tomorrow, commencing at / P. M
