ALL-0AHU TEAM
DRUBS MOOHEAUS
(From Mondays Advertiser.)
ALL oAHUs, 1e; MooHEAUs,

Aloha, gentle Mooheaus,
We know you did your best,
And yet, good baseball artists,
One thing we would suggest.
A learner on q FESTIVE horse
In strange discomfort rides,
So why not try an easier mount
And play the Riversides7
1t was a saddening slaughter, and
all the more saddening because it was
inexplicable. The Mooheaus did not
seem to make many errors, and their
fielding appeared to be fairly sure, and
yet the locals literally piled up runs
until they got tired of it.
The three runs scored by the visitors
were all made on glaring errors. The
first run in the fourth was made on
passed ball, and the two in the eighth
were on fumbles by Lemon, Miller and
Reuter-. Had it not been that the
home team had such a tremendous lead
and had grown n trifle careless ON that
account, it is very doubtful if the WIS.,
itors would have come near scoring
The visitors evidently were not at
their best, while the locais had about
as star an aggregation as they could
possibly get together, and played as
though their lives depended on it for
the first six innings.
1t was truly remarkable to see that
bunch of the best local players all out
there on time and all playing at their
very best. The Mooheaus caught them
when they were just right, and it may
be said without exaggeration that any
such playing against the Santa Claras
would have sent the collegians away
with very different record.
Eddie Fernandez realized the humor
of the situation early in the game, and
blithely threw his bat at the ball out
of sheer ight-heartedness Later he
also showed his joyful contempt for
the confines of the diamond and cut a
good corner off second on his way
home. But Barney JOY is not a hui
morist when he is umpiring, and Eddie
was sent away.
For one thing the visitors must be
given great credit. Instead of becom-
ing peeved and going all to pieces,
they kept d cheerful face on the situa-
ton and bucked up brilliantly toward
the end of the game. This is the
method and spirit that make champion
ship teams, and, if they had had just
a little better individual talent, the
result would have been different.
Williams did not pitch for the Moo
heaus and his place was taken by Oil
veira, the regular twirler for the team.
He must have been very much off color
Yesterday, for everybody on the other
team found him, and from Fernandez
to Miller they batted him all over the
field Solomon took his place in the
fourth, but did little better in that in
ming, for the locals made five off his
delivery in that period.
The fifth and seventh were the only
innings in which no runs were scored.
The locals started with one in the
first, and went up the line with two in
the second, six in the third and five in
the fourth.
. The Mooheau pitching was so evil
IDENTIFY in bad streak that there was
Barney to pitch for them, but, instead
of that. Dick Reuter- was taken off and
Bushnell substituted to twirl for the
home team.
Big Dick was never in finer form in
his life. He pitched a magnificent
game, and it is no wonder that the
Hiloites could not find him. The balls
went over the plate leaving a regular
corkscrew track in the air behind them
and the visiting bats met nothing but
thin air when they swung.
To detail the making of runs by the
home team would fill two editions of
the paper but glance at the official
score will show just how the scoring
was scattered through the team and
how nearly everybody bingled with
blithesome readiness.
Tevis was the man who scored the
first for the visitors in the fourth. He
hit the ball vicious swat that sent it
clear out in left center field and he
reached third. He was not credited
with three Dagger by the official
scorer, but it was the opinion of many
of the fans that he had it coming to
him, and it certainly was a grand swat
and fine piece of base sprinting.
There was one man down when
Tevis came up, then Todd famed and
Bird also after Tevis came in. Tevis,
therefore, would not have scored had
it not been for the passed ball on
which he romped in.
The Mooheaus' other two runs were
made in the eighth. Sheldon went ia
third on Lemons error and was neatly
sacrificed home by Tevis. Then Todd
went to second on very wild throw
by Miller and home when Reuter-, who
was playing at first after he left the
box, dropped throw from near sec
ond base.
The game could not be called al
interesting one to watch, because il
was too one-sided. 1t was pleasing t.
see the way our boys played together
and it was also pleasing to note thu
spirit of "get up and get when thing
go against youn shown by the visitors
but that is about all that can be said
The Mooheaus, if they stay here fo
more games, will get together ant
practise assiduously, so that future
games they play in win be well wortl
watching. Saturdays game was fas
and snappy, and they took no kind o.
bad heating, and it seems that, wheI
they get used to new conditions ant
(, play the league teams instead of a sta
aggregation. there will be some well
fought contest that will be very goo
to see.
The official score was:
ALI, OAHITS- ARRBU SBPO A i
