port given him was vile and when there
were men on bases the Hawails landed
on the ball and drove it out of sight.
The sixth and seventh innings. were
where the local bows came in strong.
In the sixth Donahue started things by
fumbling Williams grounder. Barney
was hit by pitched ball. Aylett MT
to D0nahue on the ground and went out,
but advanced both men. Barney drew
a throw at second and Williams start
ed for home. There was quick an
terehange of throws trying to hold
Williams and catch Barney, and Zelder
threw wild, both men coming home.
Darcy was the next man up and drove
the ball far into the crowd at center
field. getting home before Heitmuller
could find the ball. An extra ball had
been thrown into the diamond just then
and Darcy was tagged with it, which
made some people thing he had been
caught at home This ended the scor
ing. though Reuter- got as far as second
on a ground ball thai Donahue let be-
tween his legs.
In the seventh the "Red Dog" was
placed in the box. Donahue fumbled
Vannatta s grounder and Mahuka came
up, hitting into the crowd at left and
bringing Bill home while he got TO
third. Jimmy Williams hit along first
base but Bert Bower did not see the
ball and called it foul. He followed
with clean hit between short and
third bringing the man from Hawaii
home. Barney smashed one at Dew
ereaux which bounced off the latter
hand towards .Donahue and the latter
booted it, letting Williams get to- third.
Avlett struck out. Joy again drew
throw and Jimmy Williams came home
by nice base running, aided by slow
work of the Coast men. The next two
men went out ending the scoring for
the local boys.
The blame for most of the misplays
of the Spaldings was up to Donahue.
He made four errors, according to the
scorekeeper, but THAI let him down
easy. 1t was certainly his off day.
Nealon was not in good form either and
had a couple of black marks on the
record Zeider played good game with
the exception of one bad throw and
made a stop off Hampton that was
wonder.
Bert Bower was hardly in his regu-
lar form. He has done such good work
down here that it is hardly right to
criticize him, but he had an off day
such as all umpires must have and
his decisions in couple of cases were
rather off color. There was, neverthe-
less. very little kicking and the game
went on very smoothly.
In the first inning neither team was
able to score though Hampton got as
far as second, with pass and stolen
base. In the second the Coast team
started out Williams was safe on jim
my Williams low throw and stole see
ond. Nealon walked. Donahue struck
out. Williams stole third. Devereaux
hit to Mahuka, who threw home and
caught Williams as he was coming in.
Bliss walked. Henley made clean
drive over second scoring Neaf0n and
Hildebrand singled to left bringing
Devereaux and Bliss home, when Bar

Barney went to third. Darcy slashed
a grounder over third, bringing JOY
home and sending Aylett to second.
Bruins hit towards second but the ball
hit Darcy as he was running down
and he was out, Aylett taking third.
Reuter- hit to Nealon, going out. but
on a wild throw home Aylett scored
and Bruins to third. Hampton drove
what seemed to be safe hit to over
short but Zeider made a wonderful
one-handed catch and robbed him of
a hit.
In the third the Coast men scored
on a drive between Reuters legs by
Williams, sacrifice by Nealon and a
hit to right by Donahue. Devereaux
hit to left and brought Donahue home,
when Barney let pretty throw go be-
tween his legs. In the same inning
Vannatta was safe on a misjudgment
of high fly by Devereaux and Mahuka
advanced him to third on a wild throw
of his grounder by Henley. Williams
few out to left and then Barney made
two-bagger to the leftfeld fence
bringing both men home. Aylett went
out, Donahue to first and Barney was
caught trying to steal home.

followed suit to Mahuka. Williams was
hit by pitched ball and Nealon came
to the rescue with a threebagger to
left, which brought all three men home
From this time on till the last in
ming the Coast men were unable to score
till the ninth inning and the local men
did not add to their tally except as
has been told above. In the last in
ming Burns went into the box and re-
tired the local men. one, two, three

the Honolulu players.
