THE FAVORITES
WERE VICTORS
Puns and Saints Defeat Hams
and the Diamond
Heads.

Two games of baseball, one good, the
other bad, were played at the baseball
mark yesterday. The Kamehamehas
and the Punahous played the good
game and the Diamond Heads spoiled
the game which they played, or, rather
tried to play against St Louis.
The Kams lost to the Punahous by
an SO score Excitement was intense
during the latter part of the game. The
Rams were the favorites, although &C.
casionally some few in the crowd would
veil out encouraging words to the
Puns.
The crowd began to leave after the
Jewels had played a couple of innings,
and continued to leave steadily-a sure
sign that the game was poor. St,
Louis had such a cineh that when a
Sman went to bat his team told him
10 make an out. as it was late The
Diamond Heads managed to chalk up
two runs to the Saints seven.
(O PUNAHOU VS.. KAMEHAMEHA lS)
Punahous lost the toss and were
forced to bat first. Hampton, the hot
Recommendation pitcher, was the first
to have a chance at the ball. The UNI
p!re had called three balls and two
strikes when Hampton suddenly tight
aned his grip on the bat and whacked
out beauty over the second plate. He
scored second wnen Z. Desha came 10
hat and tried to steal third when Eddie
was nut out. lie ran back to second
and was safe. An error on Vannatla
part while Jack Desha was at bat al
mitted him to third, and When hlIls"
lana hated to first he ran home, max,
ing the only run in the inning Jack
was on first when Ringland's ball was
canpbt nv Kaanoi. and Williams fly
ing out TO the left fielder left him on
second.
Hampton was greeted with crys OF
derision as he entered the pitchers box
in the second half OF the first inning
His first victim was Joe Fern. VINO
struck out.
Lemon was the next man at pat he
struck a powerful one in the direction
ground three inches outside the tape A
few everlasting kickers demurred at
Bert Bowers decision in calling
Lemons hit safe, but those who We're
in a position TO see are all emphatic il
the statement that Bower was right.
Lemon was put out on second
ZONES took his first on balls and got
RI second on a passed ball. Vannatta
took his cue from Fern and struck OUT
leaving Jones on second waiting Aoi
the chance which never came.
The Punahous made.a goose-egg ana
the Rams never smelt first as one
fan expressed it, in the second 1nnlns'
In the third inning Eddie Desha made
a two-base hit In stealing third he
made pretty slide, and finally reached
home nv a whack from Jack Desha.
Hannah and Hampton both struck out
and lack reIinouished the fight after ne
had seen second.
Rv the Kams in this inning no extra
fine plaving was done. Fern looked as
if he might be trying to establish the
reputation of being a famous str1ke-
o1tern as he again failed to land the
hail other than in the catcher's glove
Punahous again had a zero placed op-
nestle their name on the score-boafu
in the fourth inning. Rams followed
suit.
Punahou redeemed herself in the
6ftb making four runs. kia TOOK MS

ger and Hannah's bunt brought hi0a

Something which he intends never 10
do again." Jones tried to block Hannah
as he ran home by standing on the
plate Hannah bumped into him, caus-
ing Jones to drop the ball, and received
an ngIv bruise on his knee. He was
safe however. and that eased the PAIN.
Thanks to two bad throws from king
land TO Kia, the Rams managed "
make one run in this inning. Miller
was the man who did it.
The sixth. seventh and eighth innings

in the entire game. The excitement
was intense throughout the inning.
