NEWSBOYs PLAY
SPLENDID BALL
Mooheaus Beat the PaIamas
and Win Their Only
Game Here.

There were two great contrasts at
! the ball park yesterday afternoon-the
gentlemanly and keen game put up by
the little newsboys and their sender
full method of coaching, and the
ragged, not to say rough, methods of
some of the Pa1amas
Walker was the chief offender in
this respect. His coaching may be
very much admired at AaIa Park, and
his grotesque gestures and attempts to
bully the umpire very admirable. They
may be, but at the ball park they are
very much out of place. The fans that
frequent the park are not used to it
and do not like it, and they took no
pains to conceal their feelings yester-
day.
While doing what he called coaching,
Walker made no attempt 10 stay in
the box, but danced around within a
few feet Of the plate and did his best
TO balk the pitcher from that position.
To Oliveira, pitcher for the Mooheaus,
is due great credit that he took abso-
lutely no notice and never allowed the
big fellows antics to bother him for
a second.
This great coach also took upon him.
self to walk on the field and argue with
the umpire several times when he dis
agreed with a decision, and he was
obnoxious at first base on several oc-
easions. Another very fragrant breach
of etiquette was when Espinda, after
tanning a batter, made some vulgar
gestures, accompanying them with a
sardonie grin that was not pleasing.
The grandstand was all for the Pa
lamas at first, but as the game pro-
crossed and Walkers ,boorishness be-
came more and more pronounced, the
tide of popular sympathy set in the
other way and everybody was heartily
pleased to see the visitors win. This
kind of business is very unworthy of
practise by a ball team, and the soon
er these players learn that sport is for
gentlemen, and should be played by
gentlemen alone. the better it will be
for them and for baseball in Honolulu.
Newsies Treat.
It was a perfect treat to watch those
Youngsters play in the first game. The
little fellows looked right smart in
their blue and white uniforms, and the
Bulletins made a tremendous hit when
quickly forming up in line, two and
two. then running out onto the field
and breaking away towards their posi-
tions when each man came abreast of
his place.
The baseball played by the kiddies
was of the very highest class. OF
course, they do not throw or pitch with
anything like the velocity of older
~,
play an almost perfect game. Their
coaching was simply great. Little
Ping Kong. En- Sues brother. was the
star coach for the Giants. His voice is
in proportion to his body, so he
brought out a megaphone about his
own size and shouted through it. He
stood at third and played up to the
coach at first in great shape. It was
the right kind of coaching that let's
the batters know just what to do, and
the batters certainly took notice.
Another feature of the game was the
eoolheadedness of the liliputians. They
never got ratified, and if the ball should
go to second it went there without any i,
stopping to think The felders kept |
their positions, standing pretty well in,
and there was not a single fly missed |
in the whole game.
The Giants would have held the Bull |
letins down to a much lower score if /
they had not grown careless IN the /
ninth. They were trife too confident /
and bad error started the losers on
a series of romps that let in FIVE runs
in the very last inning.
Pink Kong. admiringiy called Ping
Pong or ''the table tennis tiny by
the delighted fans, pitched one grand
game. He is about the size of three
balls placed one on top of the other,
but he certainly winds out those curves
and keeps his catcher busy holding
them.
Kuroda for the Bulletins, is larger
boy and also pitched a fine game. The
fielding was unexeeptionabIe. To give
honor where it is due one should men
ton eighteen players, but, perhaps.
the work of both first basemen shone
With special brillianee. Kalani for the
Giants and Perry for the Bulletins held
Town the first bag in a way that
brought forth many cheers Of admira-
ion from the fans. The outfelders
we're always there and some of the long
distance catches were wonders.
The Giants started the scoring in the
eeond when Rawlins bingled Souza
md All Tai home, later stealing home
Iimself closely followed by Miguel,
making four runs Keliiaa score for
he Bulletins in the third but John
on did the same for the big men in
he same inning and the score was
D I.
The Giants scored two more IN the {
fth. one in the seventh and three IN
he eighth and it looked as though the '
core would be 10 to ! but the ninth I
nened with an extraordinary series OF {
are1ess muffs that sent Perry to third r
hen All Shaw bingled and Perry
7mped followed by Silva on Rawlin s z
luf. Then followed series Of hits. Y
-eliiaa singled All Shaw in, Kuroda
ngled All Tai in and Hoomana
1Sle5 Kuroda in. This made FIVE runs
al the game ended 10 to 6 in favor
