ST. LOUIS TEAM
WIN THE SERIES
CFrom Sundays Advertiser.)

The end Of tho baseball season has
been reached and the ST. Louis team
are the champions, having won both
series with plenty to spare. The sec
ond game yesterday was not needed,
for the defeat OF the Kams by the
Punahous. which was due simply to
Johnny Williams good pitching, made
it certain that they could not be head
ed of.
The games yesterday were very low
in class. though good sized crowd
was present to see them. It was a
case OF see who can throw the ball
highest over a baseman's head and
there were some fine efforts made in
this line. AS one of the spectators
remarked, the games reminded one Of
the Nuuanu dam, they were SO full Of
errors.
AS stated above, the Puns won on
account Of the clean work of Williams
on the slab. He allowed only four
base hits and gave but two bases on
balls, while seven men famed three
times. The Puns were well assisted
in their run getting by Lota, the
Kams' third baseman, who fumbled
almost everything that came his way
and was away off from his usual
game. Hampton was seen behind the
bat for the PunE and then went in
same position for the Diamond Heads,
in the second game. He did good
work, barring wild throws which caus-
ed more or less trouble. His batting
and base running were features of the
play.
For the Kams, Vannatta played in
his old time form for the first time
this year. He made eight assists and
one put out, without an error, and
some of his feats were worthy of spe-
cial- comment. Reuter- was hit hard
when hits counted but with better
support would have held the runs
down well. 10
The Puns started out in the first
inning. Hampton hit over second and
then stole. David Desha singled, send
ing Hamp to third. Captain Eddie
Desha famed, but Kia sent a ground
er to third which Lota fumbled, scor-
ing Hampton. Whine hit to Vannat-
ta- D. Desha scoring. j. Williams
ended the inning, vannatta to first.
For the Kams, Lemon, the first man
up, struck out. Miller went out, short
stop TO first Jones got a pass and
stole around TO third, helped by
poor throw by Hampton. Vannatta got
base on balls and stole second. Lota
struck at the ball three times but
Hampton could not hold it and then
threw wild to first, Jones coming
home. Kuhina ended the inning by
striking out.
The Puns brought in two more in
fthe second. Sumner flew out to short.
Williams followed suit to third. D.
Desha got safe to first on Lota's fun
BILE, stealing second and getting to
third when Jones threw out to center
field. Hampton got a pass and stole
second. Jack Desha came through
with a two Dagger to left, which
brought in the two runners. Eddie
Desha went out second to first.
For the Kams the men went out
one, two, three, Reuter- being cheated
out of a hit by a pretty stop by Jack
Desha, who ran behind first and threw
the ball without stopping to recover
his balance. The game, after this
stage, became uninteresting and there
was more or less dissatisfaction in the
crowd over the very evident lack of
practise in both teams.
The second game was a smuggling
fest, with plenty of errors mixed up
in il. The score of us, in favor of
the Saints, tells the story as well as
any description can. Twelve errors on
the part of the Heads and seven for
the Saints, did not add to the fine
work to be seen. Leslie was wild as
a hawk, giving seven passes while
twelve hits, added to the fumbles,
high throws and other misplays, made
the big score easy. Bushnell was
batted hard but was fairly steady. He
did not pitch up to his usual form,
though, by great way.
Clark and Darcy did the batting of
the day, both coming out with three
hits to show for their work. Crook,
who was put in right field to help
out the team, was way out of form.
When he should have played up close,
he was far back and vice versa He
hit the ball hard but was unlucky,
being robbed of several good drives by
the fielders.
The first inning started out badly.
I'm Sue worked LeSlle Tor MS DdSe ana
stole second. He got to third on
Evers' sacrifice. Bushnell got base
on balls and Fernandez threw home
from second when he tried to steal,
in time TO catch En- Sue at the plate.
Eddie and Hampton worked the play
very prettily Williams got a pass.
Aylett singled to center. Bushnell
and Williams came home on Fernan-
dez' wild throw. Louis made the third
out, Leslie TO first.
Hampton got a pass, stole second |
and third. Fernandez went out on a
fly to Soares and a moment later |
Bushnell caught Hampton off the base
and nailed him. Darcy made the third |
out, En- Sue to first.
Bruins went out on a high fly to |
Darcy, but the latter allowed Lo On's |
grounder to go between his legs, and |
then stole second. Soares went out |
third to first, Lo On taking third. En- |
Sue brought him home on a high fly |
TO short right. Evers went out, OAR
