(4) PUNAHOUS VS.. KAMEHA-
MEHAS (D.

! The Rams protest was filed on the
field against the PUnahous playing Lo
On. Capt. Desha and Umpire Bower
received copies and then the teams
sailed in. Both teams are topnotchers
in the percentage list and the one who
lost, would fall down in the list. There
| fore the crowd expected to see good
ball and they saw it.
The Punahous went to the bat first.
The Desha family went to it, George
first, who walked to the first bag and
the other two went out. They had
the first innings all to themselves.
In the second innings when Lo On
went to the home plate with the willow
he got a lot of applause, but he struck
out. Meyer struck out too. Williams
hit to first and went to second. when
Clark was walked to first. Tony Mar
callino sent a pretty flyer out to center
and brought in Williams. There was
a close decision but it favored the
runner, OF course.
In the third inning Lo On made his
reputation. He lifted a beauty to CEN
ter which cut the grass after it fell
and got out of reach of center fielder
That little smash brought home Jack
Desha and Eddie Desha. who got in
fairly by the skin of his teeth and Lo
On died at third. The Kams up to this
time had just gone to the bat and
struck out or We're put out. but noth-l
ing was doing in the way of tallying.
In the fourth inning with the Puns
batting the Kams began to pile up
errors, but they held the Puns down. !
And so it went to the seventh, neither
side getting an advantage. Lo On, |
after making a base hit, stole TO sec
ond, and after Meyer struck out al |
most paralyzed the crowd by stealing
to third with the catcher throwing the |
sphere with catapult force to the third |
ba gman and then he came home
Then came the Kams tally innings, |
the last of the seventh. Jones struck |
at the ball for the third time. McCor-
riston muffed it and Jones made a !
safe run to first. Reuter- tried to lift
the ball over the fence for the So pre-
MUM. but failed and went out. Jones
stole to second. Fern lifted a fly into
center field where it was muffed by
Clark. who had to make a long run for
it and that gave Jones his chance to
come home. Fern meanwhile stole to
second Kaanoi smashed to center field
and Clark muffed again after another
long run and that brought in Fern.
Two runs so far. Hamauku sent a hot
one over 10 third who threw the ball
TO first baseman MarcaIlino. Marcal-
limo fell forward with the ball in his
hand. but to those on the Eva side of
the base line his foot was there and
his hand clasping the BAH in the air
when the umpire ruled HamauIlu safe
That was where most of the crowd
differed with Bower. Then Lota
smashed clear into left field and
brought Kaanoi home. and Hamauku
light on his heels. The ball nit the
,ence. The crowd was yelling like
mad, for that made four runs. Lemon
inally ended the excitement by flying
)ut to second.
OF course when the teams came UP
or the ninth inning with the score
ied-44-it was thought the game
would end. The ninth inning passed
" quietly and no change. The remain-l
Ter of the innings were short and t
weet The crowd just sat and waited. ,
patiently. waiting to see that one run t
