Heads were the winners In the big
league games Saturday, the former
winning easily from the Rams by
batting all that Reuter- offered, and
the latter winning from the Puns In
q close game. well played all through,
by score of 3 to /. The score OF
1872 in the first game of the after
noon tells the tale of the slaughter.
Reuter-, though undoubtedly one
of the best pitchers In Honolulu, is
inclined to be erratic. and one of his
oif-days was certainly on Saturday.
Everybody hit in the first inning, en-
rors were made, and five men came
across the pan, on the stick-work as
well as the numerous errors which
were tailed up against the Kams'
infleld. Three runs were shot across
In the next, and two in the next Inn
ing, when Reuter- seemed to get
warmed to the work. and shut the
scoring off for a while.
The losers scored one In the first
and one In the fourth inning
Toward the last, the Saints began
to come across the pan again, and
made four more runs In the seventh
and eighth.
There Is little denying. however,
that Reuter- had the poorer support,
as the disparity in hits, which stood
IL to IA, was not enough to account
for the great unevenness of the
score. The Saints seemed to hit at
the opportune moment, however, the
great dependence of the team in the
awaiting department being Barney
Joy, who was back in his old form
with the willow, and hit safely every
time he had try at bat. most of the
time clouting the ball right over the
keystone stack. In fact, Barney was
the candy kid. and would have set
the whole park on fire with his brill
liancy had he hot unfortunately been
little stif In the pins, from the
effect of hard work at the opening of
the season. But, as 1t was. he hit
the horsehide right on the,point and
redeemed himself like a hero.
Who Played the Game
En- Sue and G. Bruls of the win
ners divided honors evenly in the
base-running department. as each
crossed the fateful pan three times.
Soares scored two runs, and Barney
Joy, in spite of his lameness. crossed
over twice. Bruins, in handling the
stick, covered himself with glory and
showed that he was there to earn all
the runs he was making. He hit the
ball four times out of four tricks Mt
bat, which was as well as Barney
did, except that Bruins had once the
fewer times In which to distinguish
himself. ~.
Jim Williams was there with the
NIT at second base. He scored six
put-outs In the keystone position, and
that is going some. A good many OF
them were on assists from Soares.
who was also on the game
Not an error was scored up
against the Saints, which In some
manner accounts for the fact that
the losers scored two runs only.
Johnnie Williams pitched heady
game, though he was hit freely. lie
did not go to pieces, and number
OF times pitched out of quite hole,
when the Rams seemed almost sure
to score, notably once after Reuter-
secured 3-bagger at the first of the
inning, and then could not score.
Joy and Reuter- divided honors in
the long-hit department, each with a
3-bagger.
Every man on the Kan side except
Lota hit at least once. Lemon drew
2-bagger, which was the most vii.
! liams was hit for. Lemon, Naeole,
and Kalimapehu were each strong
enough with the stick to get two
hits. Lemon and Kuhina pulled OF
the only double play OF the game
From all this, 1t will be seen that
Lemon was on the game all OF the
time. -.

for a put-out, and others made som,

for fourteen hits, walked only on,
