AT PUNAHOU
Prospect OF Present
Season of oahu
College.

The baseball season for 1906 was not
as successful as it was hoped it would
be. but. notwithstanding il was
creditable one for Punahou. The diff
Guilty this year was that there was no
interschoIastfc schedule The High
school had no team. and we had TO
form a dual league with Kamehameha-
A schedule Of five games was arranged,
the winner Of three claiming the inter
scholastic championship. Unfortunate
lv owing TO different reasons, Kane
hameha could not play the first and
second scheduled games. Finally, after
a little persuasion on our part. they
agreed TO play a game. Punahou
demonstrated by winning this game
that all of the long practice had reap
&c its reward. The trouncing given
Kamehameha somewhat took the ardor
out Of their players. and they decided
not 10 play another game. This left
Punahou without an opponent and the
intersc holastic championship. Four
games were played with the Infantry
team. resulting in our winning one and
losing three. The Infantry had the
best advantag es: the team had expert
much longer Notwithstanding this,
our team made a most creditable show
ing against them. A game played with
the Males resulted in a tie, the game
being called off on account Of dark
ness. Two games with the P. A C.s
resulted in one won and one lost. An
other game with the c. A. c. was won
by Punahou. The last game with the
Faculty. seven innings being played,
the score stood TO in the teams
favor. Altogether. therefore. ten
games were played: the team won five.
lost four, and one was drawn This
is quite creditabl showing. consider
ing the teams played against.

his services.
The batting of the team. on the
whole, was very good. due probably in
no small measure TO the stimulus af-
forded by the offering of the Presi-
dents cup. This cup was offered TO
the player having the highest batting
average at the end of the season. It
was won by Lo On. his batting ayera ge

and Jack" Desha tied for second
place with a batting record OF 312 II

ing one or two. batted over two hun
dred per cent. The fielding of the
team was good. Excepting for a
break or an up in the air for an
inning or two, the support given to the
pitcher was good.-The Oahuan.
