prisingly good. and, to one who had
never seen him pitch before, he pitch
ed bali like a wonder, and if he can
pitch a whole lot better, he is just that
much more a winner.
Johnnie Williams who pitched for the
picked team is no laggard in the game
He is a conner, in fact, he has already
arrived, and his pitching attracted a
great deal of attention around the dia-
mond yesterday.
The game was not altogether free
from errors, and once or twice there
was some wild throwing, but, gener-
ally speaking, the style of baseball put
up yesterday was not of a kind to
make Honolulu feel other than proud
of her players
A marked feature of the afternoon
was the marked interest taken in Bar
ney Joy, and the good feeling for him,
and well wishes that will accompany
him in his venture across the water,
were made very evident by the cheer
ing that accompanied his successes on
the diamond.

for the picked team. Evers made Sec
ond base, and tried for third. The
ball was thrown to third, and went
high, and Evers came in. Desha got
his base on balls, but went out on Sec
ond. Ringland followed suit at third,
and Van Vliet obligingly knocked the
ball down to the first baseman. The
H. A Cs. did not enjoy their vacation
from field work long. En- Sue hit the
air violently three. times, and gave
place to Fernandez who made a base
hit, but lost his chance of scoring
while trying to make second. Jas. Will
Hams made first. and stole to second,
but all to no purpose, for Louis Was
famed.
About this time Barney Joy began
to feel his muscle. Vannatta was able
TO find him with hit to third base,
and he was out before he had more
than half traversed the distance t.
first. John Williams and Jones wsre
not so fortunate. They struck at the
ball, but neither of them managed to
touch it.
This must have discouraged Johnnie
Williams for his first act on taking his
place again on the spot sacred to the
pitcher was to let Gleason go to first
on balls. Joy struck the leather to
second, and made first, but Gleason
lost his life on second. Then Johnnie
took hold of himself again, and A. Will
liams and Lo On tried in vain to make
connections with his puzzling twisters.
But their third innings Melted them
nothing, and they took the field again.
Geo. Bruins made a safe hit, and arriv-
ed at first. En- Sue got to first on a
little tap that didn't send the ball half
way TO the pitcher, and he made good
while the pitcher was fumbling for the
ball. A wild throw to third left the
way open for Geo. Bruins. He got
homesick, and came home, scoring first
for the II. A. Cs. Ed. Fernandez
knocked a fly to third, and En- Sue
was also put out before he could get
back 10 second. Jas. Williams started
for ifst, but changed his mind be-
fore he got there, and went out to his |
place on the field.
The first part of the 4th gave short |
shrift to the picked team, and they |
took the field, where they served up |
the same medicine to the II. A. Cs. |
though when the innings ended Barney |!
Joy and Gleason were on bases headed |
,or home.
In the first of the fifth Johnnie Will !
Jams made the record run of the game. /
He knocked a ball out to right field
where it jumped over Louis head, and
he had time to spare to get to third
before the ball came up to the dia-
norid again. He not only made third,
but was able to call on the home folks
IS well. Both Jones and Boyle, though
hey managed to make first, came to
