enders got home in the big league
games yesterday This is as it should
be, and will undoubtedly cause interest
in the league s doings on the diamond

clusion makes the public extremely
ennuied.
Both games were brimful of interest,
Land were played, as Opie Read would
put it, from kiver to kiyer."
The first game was won by the Pun
a hous from the Diamond Heads by the
score of to 6.
The Colts started off with rush,
notching FIVE TALES in the first three
innings. At the end of the seventh the
score was five all. In the eighth the
Puns. bingled twice, and the best that
the High Jinkers could do was to sim
gle in their final essay.
Bill Chillingworth, who had been fill
ing the bill to perfection, was with
drawn in favor of Leslie in the seventh,
and in the opinion of many the change
in pitchers cost the Jewels the game.
Leslie walked six in the short time at
his command.
Two home runs were made in the
game, the first by Kia, and the second
by Davis. The latter will interview +.

the ball missed the sign by an inch or
two. but the firm are too good sports
to take advantage of mere teehni-
eaIity like that
The second game was won by the
Kamehamehas from the Saints by the
National League score of to 1. The
feature of the game was the supefhne
pitching of Reuter-, who struck out no
less than thirteen men. Dick was in rare
form, and his army of admirers were
tickled TO death The Hams. seem to
have struck winning gait, and there
is no knowing where they may stop.
May they go on winning till Doomsday!
