NEWSBOYS PLAY
SPLENDID BALL

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 Palamas.
Walker was the chief offender in
this respect. His coaching may be
very much admired at Aala 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,
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 fellow Is 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 decision, and he was
obnoxious at first base on several oc-
casions. Another very fragrant breach
of etiquette was when Espinda, after
tanning batter, made some vulgar
gestures, accompanying them with a
sardonic 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 ball team, and the soon
err these players learn that sport is for
gentlemen alone, the better it will be
for them and for baseball in Honolulu.
Newsies Treat.
1t was 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 tremendous hit when
they went out, to field in the first, by
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
anything like the velocity of older
players, but in every other respect they
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 megaphone about his
own size and shouted through it. He
stood at third and played up to the
coach at first in great shape. 1t 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
stopping to think. The fielders kept
their positions, standing pretty well in,
and there was not single fly missed
in, the whole game.
letns down to much lower score if
they had not grown careless in the
ninth. They were a trifie too confident
and a bad error started the losers on
series of romps that let in five runs
in the very last inning.
Pink Kong, admiringly 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 unexceptionable. To give
honor where it is due one should men
ton eighteen players, but, perhaps
the work of both first basemen shont
with special brilliance. Kalani for the
Giants and Perry for the Bulletins held
down the first bag in a way that
brought forth many cheers of admira
ton from the fans. The outfelders
were always there and some of the long
distance catches were wonders.
The Giants started the scoring in the
second when Rawlins bingled Souza
and All Tai home, later stealing home
himself closely followed by Miguel
making four runs. Keliiaa score fol
the Bulletins in the third but John
son did the same for the big men il
the same inning and the score was I
to l.
The Giants scored two more in the
fifth, one in the seventh and three il
the eighth and it looked as though the
score would be 10 to / but the ninth
opened with an extraordinary series OF
careless muffs that sent Perry to third
Then All Shaw bingled and Perry
romped followed by Silva, on Rawlin 4
muff. Then followed series of hits
Keliiaa singled All Shaw in, Kuroda
singled All Tai in and Hoomana
singled Kuroda in. This made five runs
and the game ended 10 to 6 in favor
of the Giants and Manager Gumbs
smile spread until one could see little
else.
The Second Game.
Brick Lyman opened the ball for the
Mooheaus with terrific swat that tool
him to third. Bill Desha famed anc
George Desha was out at first but i
gave Lyman time to come in and ths
visitors had scored their first run.
The Palamas came through will
three in the second half of the frs
and it was not till the fifth that the
