THE WHITE WASH

Park Fail to Arouse the
Fans Enthusiasm.

The Diamond Heads beat the Puns
s TO ! and the Saints put it over the
Kams , to at the League grounds
Yesterday afternoon. That really tells
about all that is interesting about the
games. but those who did not see them
may wish a few more details. The
details. however, are for the most part
painful and should be abbreviated.
The game between the Puns and the
Diamond Heads, which came first, was
a slaughter of the innocents. The
Punahou boys failed to show any inn
provement over their playing of the
week before and their exhibition of
the way the national game should not
be played was hardly edifying. Ex'
cent for the third inning, when they
cot three runs. they were not in the
game at all, though their opponents
gave them every chance. Two pitchers
were Knocked out of the box before
the game had fairly started. Hampton
early showed that he had left his
wing at home, but he had his batting
eve with him, and three of the four
runs garnered by his team were due
to two beautiful home runs when he
slammed the horse hide up against the
fence.
Hampton really started things, swat
ting the ball for four bases the first
crack out of the box in the first inning,
and the Puns looked iubilant. But
Arcia. Lemn and Mccall went out in
one, two, three order, the first, pitch
err to first and the other two on throws
from short to first.
The Diamond Heads started off with
three men racing around the diamond
for the home pan. Rice singled; H.
Chillingworth hit safe to center; Ed.
Fernandez hit the ball down to third,
but the baseman failed to annex it,
and Rice scored on the error while
Fernandez landed on the initial sack.
Sam Chillingworth hit to short, forcing
his brother ont at the plate. Knight
scored Fernandez with pretty single.
Vikings basehit brought Sam Chill
1ingworth galloping home. J. Fernan-
dez few to left field, putting the side
out.
In the second the Puns failed to do
anything, Hogs went out On ground
er to second. Kia reached first on Sam
Chillingworth error and was sacri
feed to second by Bob Chillfngworth
McCorriston however, ended all hopes
of tally by flying to center.
In their half of the spasm the Dia
mond Heads annexed another one
Winnie grounded to first. Rice singled
and was advanced by Fl. Chilling
worth s sacrifice Ed Fernandez reach
ed first on poor throw to the sacl
by the shortstop. and Rice stole home
making his second run. Davis flew GU
to center.
In the third the Puns made a show
ing. gathering in three runs and a To-
of confidence which the final result
did not warrant. Butler got his bas'
on balls and Hampton scored him ant
walked over the plate himself on hi
second home run. Arcia got to frs
on an error by the third baseman
Iemn hit to the pitcher, forcing Arci,
nj second. Mccall hit to third, forcin.

The real trouble occurred when th
Diamond Heads took the bench.
Fernandez walked. Whine knocke
the bali down in front of the plat
and McCorriston threw it away int
right field. allowing Fernandez t
wander home. Rice came through wit
a bingle. II. Chillingworth hit to II
pitcher and Whine was forced out

hall out into the grass of the rigl
agricultural section and Rice ana Chi
lingworth scored. Davis brought J
Fernandez home with a timely singl
