They did ride off and Fleming careered

FLEMING SCORES TWICE.
Fleming got away twice more in the

the time. Always when either Krum

Frank seemed to be in the right place
and, with shout of warning to say
that the ball was coming, he would
send along with unerring aim, placing
the ball just where one or the other

The first period ended with the score
4 to / in favor of Maui, and the rosy
hue that had flushed the outlook fol
the Oahu partisans when Castle scored
faded and disappeared, leaving one OF
those blue colorings that insist on
hanging over the horizon in spite of
encouraging cheers.
Shingle opened the second period
with n neat score, and the blue faded
slightly. The score was only to 9
and there were all kinds of chances fol
the 0ahus to keep doing the same
thing. But Fleming did his famous
cup and at 'em from behind" stunt
again, and the rain came down harder
than ever. Then Castle sent the spec

latter could not catch Castle, and he
curved round to the near side and
swept the ball through the goal after

strokes at full speed.

fore the period was over. The third
period was bad one for the visitors
1t was not so much that their play
deteriorated as that the home players
had dropped into proper working order
and forestalled every attempted combi
nation of the visitors.
Four times the Mauis scored in the
third period, and net once did the
oahus find the goal. The last period
was even more of tragedy, for the
Maui team scored six goals. But even
with their opponents scoring with tir-
ing regularity the oahuans never lost
heart, but kept hard at it all the time.
They took the ball in front of the other
goal several times, only to be frus.
