Tfhe Spaldings and the All-HawaiFs S
Mas the best which has been seen in the
SERIES There was one bad inning, the
fifth. and with the exception of that
and of a spasm in the seventh, the
game was good enough for the best.
Barney Joy was in the box and pitched
a good game, being fairly steady, CIV
ing only three bases on balls. He was
caught by Donahue, and the latter
endeared himself to the spectators by
the way in which he got into the
game at every chance and played fine
ball
While the weight of the defeat may
be placed on the shoulders of one man.,
Jimmy Williams, it is probably too
strong to say he lost the game, as
the Coast men would probably have
won out anyhow. Jimmy, who has al
ways proved himself one of, the best
players in the city, fell down badly
yesterday and was not himself in the
field He missed three chances which
he should have taken with ease and,
as the result of his errors, practically
all of the runs scored by the Spald-
ings passed over the plate. Only one
error was charged against the home
team that of Joy, who was slow in
gcovering first in the fourth, but it
failed to figure in the score.
The only error made by the Coast
players was that OF Nealon and it was
lexcusable. Zeider was back in shape
and made some beautiful stops and
throws, and every man on the team
was there when needed. The clean
playing on both sides, with the excep-
tions noted, was the feature of the
game.
Burns pitched beautiful ball. His
support was such that he had no diff
Guilty in scoring a shutout, and he de-
served just that kind of backing. Bliss
caught Burns and did some throwing
that was what all the fans like. Nick
Williams played at second and was
Very much at home, though out of his
regular position behind the plate.
When ii came to batting the Coast
players made nine hits to five for the
locals. but that does not tell the tale,
as Barney kept the singles scattered
and held things down in good shape.
He struck out six of the opposing men,
and several of the fans came at the
time when men were on bases and this
kind of work was most acceptable.
None of the local men got more than
a hit apiece, but they played hard and
did well in all the departments of the
national game.
The game started out with clean
work on both sides. Hildebrand was
the first man up and flew out to
Aylett in center. Zeider followed suit
to Bruins and Williams struck out
: Hampton started things well with a
&iean single to center field. He forgot
that he was up against Burns, though,
and was caught off first and retired.
NSAnnatta hit to third and was caught
at the initial bag and Mahuka. follow
ed him with a liner to second, that
dropped into Williams hands.
In the second the Coast men had lit
tie chance, though the Red Dog singled
to left and was followed by a walk
that Barney gave to Henley. The 9TH
er three men never got the ball out OF
the diamond and these two wound up
on bases 1t looked like score for
the local men in the last of this inning.
Donahue was first up and flew out to
right. Jimmy Williams beat out
pretty bunt Barney few out to Zeider
and Jimmy took second on a passed
ball The hopes were checked when
Aylett flew out TO Zsider.
Neither side scored in the third,
though Zeider got to second on
single and a steal. which was up to
Nannatta. as he dropped Donahue's
pretty throw. Bruins hit safe for the
locals, but went out trying to steal
on Bliss. and Hampton and Louis
struck out.
In the fourth Nealon went out, Hamp
to first, but Eastwood was safe on
Joys error He was caught, though,
trying to steal second and the inning
ended when Devereaux flew out TO
Jimmy Williams. Donahue made a
safe hit for Hawaii, but the other
SShree men were retired without giving
hiTn a chance to leave the initial sack.
The trouble occurred in the fifth
Henley was safe on a low throw by
Jimmy Williams. Bliss bunted and
should have been out. but Donahue
and Barney collided and he got life.
Burns hunted, but il went into the
air and Barney got him. Hildebrand
placed one TO right scoring Henley.
Hildebrand got too far off first and
was caught. but while the play was
going on. Bliss brought in another
tally. Zeider hit one to short, but
Jimmy fumbled and Hide came in.
Barney threw down to catch him
when he tried to steal. and on a muff
