BUTCHERS
WIN GAME
Lusitanas Are Defeated

Poorly,

yesterday afternoon was very good TIL

The Twilights and the Alohas opened

giant score of q to 2. The Twilight

the Lusitanas in the opening game o
the season, miracle certainly hap
pened
The second game, between the Met

| to the good. The Butchers won a con
test replete with good plays by the
score of s to 8. They hitch up with
the Diamond Heads next Sunday and

THE FIRST GAME.

Base-hits in this inning were as thick
as skeeters at Waikiki.
Honan, the TwiIights' first baseman,
who usually puts up a dandy game,
was dead off yesterday, his bunch of
errors making a mammoth pile.
Rego made a catch, disposing Of

At the beginning of the game Twi-
light rooters were much in evidence.
AS time wore on they found less and
less to enthuse over, however. All
kinds of chops and changes were made

the nine had been as thoroughly shut

Mcclure appeared for the first time
in Twilight uniform. He is useful
player and caught for the Iron Works
last year, split finger causing him
to take a long lay-off.
The Twilights scored their solitary
two runs in the fifth. McGuire's high
hit to left was muffed by May, the
brewery falling down. The ball went
pretty far down. anyway. Joseph and
Nascimento scored on the swat.
The fifth was rank with errors on
the part of the Twilights, and the merry
bell tinkled six times. The same thing
happened in the following inning, at
the close of which the Alohas had COM
piled 20, a regular cricket score. Folks
in the stand were betting odds that
the 23-run record of the Diamond
Heads would be surpassed.
In the second of the sixth the Twi-
lights all turned their caps inside out.
It is a popular superstition along the
slopes of Punchbowl that this is an
infallible way of turning bad luck into
good.
In the sixth Honan was shifted from
first to right-field, Joseph taking the
bag.
There might easily have been more
than runs scored by the Alohas in
the sixth. With five notches registered

to bat with bases full. A timely hit
