Oh, Mr.. Graney, what IS the use
To shake your head and talk,
You do it just as clear as ink,
Won know Won do-YOU BALK.

any of the visitors, except Red Dog,
who sized the crowd up for being a
small one and refused to be very funny.
He made one think of a high-salaried
comedian who makes fun according to
the size of the house out in front. 1t
is true that he started little of his
irresistibly comic stuff once or twice,
but he was satisfied with one laugh
and wouldn t keep it up. Let us hope
for more consideration on his part to-
day.
The local team put up splendid
fight all the way through. Dick Reuter-
was never seen in better form and
pitched a very heady game. Louie
Soares backed him up in fine shape too
and made only two slips which, un-
fortunately, happened to be very costly
ones, letting in two runs In the sixth.
Lack of Encouragement.
What the team lacked from the very
start was encouragement. 1t was only
natural that the boys should feel
trife nervous at the start and should
expect to be cordially backed, by the
fans. But not murmur, not n sound.
Honestly, those fans on the bleachers
wouldn t say "Thanky' if somebody
paid them dollar they had owed for
n week.
Jack Doyle was there and did his
little best, but he had q sore throat and
could not make himself heard very far.
Meanwhile several hundred alleged fans
sat on the bleachers like a bunch of
petrified mummies and hardly even said
s'Boo' when Hampton jumped in the
air and made magnificent one-hand
catch of high ball from the out field.
The visitors were the only people that
made any noise during the first few
innings and that was nearly all due to
Devereaux who was only half in form.
1t was a sadly silent bunch of specta.
tors but better things may be hoped
for today, as there will doubtless be
more out and some of the old-timers
who know what encouragement means
will be there to do work for Honolulu.
Louie's Clever Bluff.
The feature of the game was a clever
piece of work by Louie Soares in the
fourth inning. Nick Williams was
stealing home but Louie was there be.

up the line to third. Louie made a
bluff throw to third but held the ball
in his hand This fooled Nick who took
a dive past Louie but the latter, still
had the ball and put the wouldbe stealef
out.
There were three sensational catches
in the game. One made by Nick Will
liams in the third when he caught a
long fly of Bushnell's on the run, one
made by Hampton in the first when he
jumped and caught a throw from the
outfeld and one by Louie Soares when
he ran almost into the grandstand and
caught Bliss out on high pop.
Visitors Begin Early.
In the very first inning the visitors
began to do things and started the
score board boy looking for the number
2. Curtis flew out but the bow WOW
had a ticket to first and, when Dele
hanty came up and bingled, the genial
Brick actually ran to third without
stopping. But that was all for him.
He retired to the coacher's box where
he went through the usual spasms of
. recovering breath, and McArdle took
his place on the base. Heine Heit-
muller sacrificed McArdle in and then
Nick doubled so that Delehanty
rOmped.
In the second innings the locals went
out in one, two, three time and then
McArdle introduced well.trained stunt
entitled ''My, how it hurt, !" and walk
ed to first. AS a matter of fact he
really was hit with a nasty whack and
was mighty lucky he did not get it on
the crazy bone. He was caught with
the Knockout dropsin his system, sound
asleep off first, shortly after, however,
so his walking did him no good.

Dick walked and Eddie took his place

he changed his mind and twirled on his

The home team seemed to be shaking

Looks Good in Fifth.
In the fifth it looked as though we
were going to get score. All the bases
were full, even if there were two down.
Graney had not been getting them over

But Graney took large, million,legged

over with such swiftness that Will

1t was in the sixth that Louie made
his lapsus fungus, or whatever it il
called in medical parlanee. Heine and
Danzig each made an advance on a wild
throw. Bliss was at the bat and Louie
let the ball get by him, which gave
