ALL-HAWAHS WIN
FROM SPALDINGS
in CLOSE GAME
cFrom Thursdays Advertiser.)

In one of the most exciting base
ball contests ever seen in this city thu
All-Hawaiis defeated Mique Fisher Z
Spaldings yesterday afternoon at th'
League grounds by score of 4-3. They
tied the score at % in the fourth ant
got one ahead in the fifth. The .Coas
men in turn brought the score to tie
at 3-3 in the seventh and were not able
to score again. The All-Hawaiis came
to the bat in the last of the nintl
and. amid yelling that was enough tC
make a deaf man hear, brought the
needed run over the plate, with no one
out.
Jack Desha was the first man at the
bat in the ninth. He lined a beauty
out to rightfeld, which just missed be-
ing a foul and brought him two bases
Reuter- singled to center and sent De
sha to third. En- Sue was the next
He dropped a pretty bunt along third
base line and Desha came in, colliding
with Bliss at the plate and knocking
the latter unconscious. The crowd went
wild, surrounding Donahue, who had
caught for the home team, and shaking
hands with him till he finally escaped.
Two men deserve the greater part
of the credit for the winning of the
game. Donahue and Reuter-. If it had
not been for Donahue, Dick would never
have pitched the game that he did.
And with other pitching than that done
by Reuter- it is hard to see where the
Hawaii men would have come off. Don
ahue caught a beautiful game and mis-
coaching of Reuter- kept the latter IN
place. He would hold his hands just
where he wanted the ball and Dick used
such control that he was able to land
Just where it was needed each time.
Williams pitched for the Coast team
and though he only allowed seven hits
was outpitched by Reuter-, who gave
the same number, but gave but one
pass to Williams three. Each side
made three errors, but the game was
as rule very clean, with many fine
plays which brought out loud applause.
The crowd made up in noise for its
small size and appreciated every point
of the game.
Several of the regular players on
the All-Hawaii team failed to appear
and their places were filed by Jack
Desha, at shortstop, Eddie Fernandez,
at first, and En- Sue in centerfeld. The
appearance of members of the st. Louis
club on the diamond was greeted by
applause, showing that they were will
ing to take part in the contests of
the day in spite of the trouble be-
tween their manager and Fisher.
Rildebrand was the first man up and
was given a pass, but moment later
was forced out at second, on Zeider s
grounder to Hampton. Zeider went out
irving to steal second and Williams
ended the first half, Hampton to first.
En- Sue coaxed a walk from Williams
Fernandez went out on a long foul
fiy which Devereaux made neat catch
of. En- Sue tried to steal and was
caught at second. Hampton made the
third out, Hildebrand to Nealon.
In the second Nealon flew out to
Bruins in leftfield. Burns gave Darcy
a chance to show his speed, sending
him a fly which he caught with one
hand after a long run. The Red Dog
went out on a grounder which VAN
malta eobbled. Vannatta knocked one
to center that seemed safe, but Hide
brand went out of his territory to get
it. Nick Williams walked but he went
out trying to steal. Darcy walked, but
Bruins went out Zeider to first.
The Coast men did little in the
third Bliss went out. Reuter- to
first. and Eastwood and Henley. the
next two men, both famed. Desha
was the first Hawaii man up and
flew out to Devereaux. Reuter- hit
safe to center. En- Sue fouled out to
Bliss. Fernandez singled between
short and third. sending Dick to
third. but Hampton made the last out,
hitting a slow one along the first-base
line that Bliss caught him on. 1t
was one of the best bits of work OF
the day.
It looked bad in the fourth. Hide
brand walked and stole second, taking
third on Zeider's single to center.
Williams hit to center and brought
Hide home. Nealon followed with a
single to the same place, bringing
Zeider in. Burns struck out, Nealon
stealing second, as neither Vannatta
nor Desha covered the bag on Dona-
hue's nice throw. The Red Dog end
ed the trouble by flying out to Van
natta.
The locals came through with tally |
in this inning. Vannatta sent one
down to third that was too fast for
the Red Dog to get onto, and took
second when Donahue was safe on a |
tumble by Williams Darcy was hit
by a pitched ball and Bruins knocked
