DIAMOND HEADS
PLAY GOOD BALL
Puns Shut Out in First Game
by Bill vannatta's Ball
T0ssers.

got their moneys worth. The first
game in which the Kams defeated the
Puns by a score of 40, was hardly up
to the mark in the line of snappy play
ing, but the second game made up for
everything that had been done before.
The Diamond Heads are coming to the
front fast and should, by rights, have
won out. but the fortune of war was
against them and the ST. Louis boys
carried off the game after a hard
fight, by a score of ga.
The Kamehameha team certainly de-
served to win their game. They put
UP q fine article of ball and made but
one error in the game that coming in
the ninth inning, and being made by
Hamauku, who had accepted chance
after chance in the prettiest of shape.
The Puns were weak at the bat, and
still weaker when it came to baserun-
ming. They should have stolen base
after base but seemed to be little too
l9&y to get out and hustle. The one
-ryhng that was very evident from their
playing was an utter lack of practise.
OF course, the team was greatly weak
ened with Hannah, King and McCor-
riston out of the game but there was
no reason that they should get men
on the bases time and time again and
fail to bring them in
Lyman succeeded in missing about
everything which came his way and
with the exception of Kia there was
not man on the team who played
baseball all the way through For the
Rams it was different. Reuter- pitched
hoI af ho hoe Of
The whole team did pretty work and
hit the ball when it was needed.
En- Sue played his usual game for
the Saints, running bases as of old and
with one exception fielding his position
in irreproachable shape. Louis won
the game by hit at just the right
time which brought in two men. Glea-
son played ball like youngster J. Fer
nandez, O1mos and Evers all made
three base hits, which counted nicely
in the score.
Eddie Fernandez played short for the
Heads like a professional. He made
one circus catch in the fourth, off
Lotus, which was as pretty as has ever
been seen at the park. Leslie played
nice game at first base, making some
fancy pickups of low throws. His work
was the best which he has shown this
year.
- The Puns missed their best chance to
win out in the second inning when they
had two men on base with one out and
could not get player across the plate.
In the second half of the same inning
a fly knocked over second by Reuter- |
was allowed to go untouched while |
three Punahou players stood around |
and dreamed about what might hap
pen if some one should play baseball !
