HAMp NOSES OUT A WINNER
SAINTS DEN0LHH BILL CHILL

Those who took in the matinee at
The baseball park on Saturday after
noon did not see the finest baseball III
the world but still there were enough
sensational features to make 1t worth
while So far the games have been
good and no one has any kick coming
Saturdays cards brought the Old
rivals, the Puns and the Rams, togeth-
er, and they battled nine hard rounds
in which there was bad good and sell
bational ball all intermingled. lh3
Kams spurted in the sixth ana the
ninth and it looked at times as though
they would clean up the house, but
they were not quite as strong with the
willow as Eddie Desha's hustlers ana
therefore they had to be content with
one less run.
The bunch was looking to see the
Colts win hands down and although
the dope worked out to a certain eX-
tent, still the Puns found the Rams no
lemon. As far back as can be remem-
bered Punahou has never given DICK
Reuter- such lacing as he got on sat
urday.
Ed Desha harvested three bingles
out of four times up off Reuters lav-
Orites and King got two out of four
times up In all Reuter- was found Tor
ten safeties and right here lies the sec
ret of the Rams defeat.
Hampton made his seasons debut at
slab duty and met with a bunch OF
boots from the Kams' friends. This
rolled off, however, like water, OIL an
island ducks back. He opened up by
striking out Fern. It was plainly seen
that he was in no condition to pltcn
and still the Xams got but six hits.
They were all timely and meant runs
When Bill gets in shape the Rams Will
be easy for him.
Punahou started out early to feather
,heir nest. Hamp, with two strikes
against him, hit safe over second. lie
worked his way to second and reached
third on Bill Vans juggling OF JacF
Desha's roller. 1t was good to see how
old Ringland dropped an easy one
down the first base line so that Bill
could cross the pan. This play Was
pulled off in big league style.
In the third Capt Ed punched out a
two-sacker, stole third and came in on
Jacks bingle.
Inning five saw the Colts lambaste
Reuters twisters and netted four runs
making things look blue for the Rams
!<ia stroled on four wide ones. King
was there for double and Hannah J
easy infield grounder brought klf
nome with a run. Jones dropped the
ball at the pan and Hannah played
safe
In this same inning Miller worked
his way around the paths for a round
er, making the Kams' first run.
Score, 6-l.
In number six the Kams caused the
scorehoy to tack up the tin sign read
lns t. In this spasm Fern, Jones, Van
uatta and Miller each crossed the rub
Der on misplays by A. Williams AM
Jack Desha Both of these lads had al
off day Saturday and owing to the poor
condition of the inheld they were
doubly bad.
In the eighth Lemon scored, making
things a tie. and the game which
seemed to be in cold storage for the
Puns was now a doubtful proposition
In the ninth the Desha boys got int
action for the Colts. Eddie ripped OF
Il two-bagger and Jack drove him tt
third. Before things stopped happen
ing the two Deshas, together will
Hampton, had scored, giving the Pun,
a good lead OF three runs.
The Kams came up determined tt
fight to the last and they did not stol
'until they had made two runs. Lemon
broke up the game by popping up al
easy fly to Ed nesha. Here was al
excellent chance to tie the score ant
possibly win out.
Bill Hampton pulled out of a luck,
lole when he caused Lemon to fou
this ball to Desha,
Here is how the game was played:
