Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-02-01

A much larger crowd attended the
second game of the Reach Club Sc
ries yesterday than on Saturday. The
bleachers were filled and although
there were vacant seats here and
there in the grand stand It was com
fortably filled. Roofing was not
much in evidence during the big
game. Joy came in for some re-
marks from certain section of the
crowd. His decisions on one or two
occasions were very doubtful.
The game was interesting up TO
the sixth inning, when the All-IIa-
| walls took the elevator. Leslie, who
had pitched great ball up till this
stage. now began to weaken and
should have been relieved. Fishers
team only scored one run in the first
inning, and All-Hawail held them at
that till the sixth.
Bruins did some smart work in the
third. Devereaux doubled to left
field and Delehanty got up. He hit
into center field and looked like scor-
ing double. Bruins caught and sent
to second, and Hampton, with smart
catch. put out Graney running for
Devereaux).
Burns was deadly with his throws
TO first. He, without changing his
action, just as he appears to start to
pitch, fires the ball to first-and It is
a smart runner who gets back in
time. Desha fell in this manner, and
after that the Hawaiis Rugged the
bag.
Devereaux was. as usual, the comic
man of the crowd. Some OF his Jap
anese expressions were very funny.
En- Sue took Soares' place at the
bat in the ninth and helped to score
one run. He is very quick on his
feet, and Devereaux got laugh by
speaking what Brick calls japanese
to En-.
In both third and fifth innings Ha-
wall had man on third, and seemed

In the seventh Bruins reached third
but Kia died at first.
II was in the eighth that the kill
ing was done.
Leslie was weak, could not find the
plate, and walked several men. All
the All-Star men had bat before
the inning closed. and nine runs were
scored. The visitors wore their coats

as joke. .HF
