FAST BALL AT
KAKAAKO PARK

Two interesting games of baseball
took place yesterday in the Atkinson
League, between the Ocean Views and
the Brewery, the former winning by
a score of 6-5, and the Pearl Handles,
or police, and the U. s. S. Iroquois, in
which the latter were defeated, 1914.
In the first game eleven innings were
necessary to decide the winner. Both
pitchers did well, though KAPPA, for
the Ocean Views, was wild and gave
eight bases on balls, which would have
lost the game had not his team f1elded
well behind him. C. Makanui with
two three-base hits to his record de-
serves the credit of winning the game
for the Ocean Views.
The second game was a free for all
smuggling match, in which the police
came out on top at the end Of the
full nine innings. They started out
with five runs in the first inning and
followed with the same number in the
second, which kept them in the lead
all through, though the sailors came
dangerously near them in the seventh.
In the last inning the Iroquois men
made a rally, but could not pull
through and scored only one run, in
stead of the two needed to tie the
score. The summary:
