The unexpected happened at the
''socker'' games yesterday afternoon
Surprise number one occurred wher
the Males failed to do better than
tie with the Punahous, the score be-
ing one all.
The second surprise, and by far the
greater of the two, was the defeat
of the Iolanis by the Diamond Heads,
by the score of one to nil. This was
an eye-opener with a vengeance.
There are six more games to be
played and the Males now look like
sure winners Iolanis, Punahous and
Diamond Heads are all pretty evenly
punched and the fight for second
place promises to be a very keen one.
Next Saturday the Iolanis line up
against the Y. NJ. G. a. and the Males
try conclusions with the Diamond
Heads.
The crowd yesterday at the base
ball park was a slight Improvement
in point of numbers over previous
Saturdays and was the most demon
strative of the season
Both games We're hardly fought and
kept the spectator on tip-tOeS with ex-
element from start to finish.
The Males ought to have won their
game. Catteral missed a penalty kick
right in front of goal for some mex
plicabIe reason. They did not seem to
play with their usual dash, while the
Punahous on the other hand, put up
the best game they have played this
season
he oi 10 &c all fa he ha
rear division being decidedly off color.
The forwards played a good, sound
game yesterday, but the Diamond
Head backs were in rare form and
frustrated the efforts of the opposing
sides vanguard.
The Reds showed remarkable i'm
provement and will be hard to beat
from now on. IF they could only shoot
goals when chance offers. they would
be unbeatable. Their speed is unsur-
passed by any other team in the
league.
