There was even a bigger crowd pres
ent at the baseball game between tn,
Al-Hawaiis and the Spaldings at tn,
League grounds yesterday afternoon
than there was on Saturday, and SAT
TO relate the score was once NOR,
against the local team. A shut out, t.
the tune of 80, was the way the game
showed up at the close of the ninth
inning.
! Barney JOY was in the box for the
local team, and, while the men from
the Coast did not hit him to any ex-
tent, he gave enough passes to first to
lose couple of ordinary games, nine
permits to walk being the extent of
his generosity. He was hardly TO be
blamed at that. for the score that was
rolled up. Sonny Cunha was behind
the bat. and was far from showing the
form which he once had, that is the
baseball form, not physical dimensions.
He did fairly well as backstop, giving
Barney space to throw at, past which
the ball could not get, that was GER
tainly big enough, but when it came
to throwing he was not there. The
Coast men could take secondbase any
time they wished. 1t was like giving
candy TO Teddy bear. They would
loaf, in the most leisurely way posi-
bic, and get half way to the bag be-
fore Sonny's arm was in position to
throw. Then came the throw, which
was invariably of the dewdrop style,
rising slowly from his hand and grace
fully dropping to the ground few
feet in front of the base. Once he
achieved wonder, catching Hide
brand when the latter was trying to
steal third. Otherwise every man who
tried TO steal was safe.
Burns, who pitched for the Coast team,
was puzzler Only three hits were made
OF the big southpaw, whose delivery was
so quick that it had the local men
guessing. He used very effective
drop which brought some eleven strike
outs TO his credit The Spaldings made !
but five hits of Joy, the hardest of
the game being that of Hildebrand in
the last inning. Barney seemed to be
afraid Of him, and gave him three
bases on balls in succession Then {
Hide made q smash that was too warm
for Hampton in the fifth and in the
ninth drove long hy to center over
Aylett s head for home run 1t should
have been only a threebagger but poor
throwing allowed the fastener to get
home.
Jimmy Williams scored the batting
loHors for the local boys, placing two
,ut OF the three safe hits to his credit.
They were both scratches, and Jimmy
vas lucky that he was lively on his
'eet for he had to travel fast, from
