Burns, Bliss, Bruins
Beautiful Boys

To the three "Bs"-Burns, Bliss, /
and Bruns-may fairly be givsh the
credit for the defeat of the. All-Stars
by the Honolulu team yesterday. 1t
was close game, and well played
by both sides. The final score OF I
to 3 in Hawaiis favor was surprise.
Up to the eighth inning the score was
even, viz. three all. .,..''H..
When Bruins stood up to bat with
Kia and Burns on the bases 1t look
ed as II draw was inevitable. How
ever, Burns stole second, and Brups. |
making safe hit, OUR Bill (Bill
Burns is ours from now on), got home |
amidst tremendous applause.
Burns and Bliss have endeared
themselves to all Honolulu by their |
heady, hard, and clever work on our
behalf. Bliss was a host in himself.
His knowledge Of the game seems
miraculous; he seems to know exact
ly where every ball will be hit to.
He was as keen on winning this game
as IL It had been some big Coast
League affair. .r...
And Burns-good old Bill - how
he did shoot 'em over the plate! and,
say. how he did throw 10 FIRST when
there was chance to get man! Oh.
they are pair Of good fellows, all
right. ..e
II was a beautiful day for ball, and
the diamond was in fine condition.
A large crowd was present, and only
the band was needed to complete the
Joy.
Speaking Of Joy, reminds us. that
the only Barney acted as umpire.
Some of his decisions were. to say
the least. startling. However. we
won, 80 let 1t go at that.
Devereaux pitched the first four
innings for the Stars. Heitmuller
then took the sphere. Mick Fisher
kept his word about umpiring. and
stuck It out till he got too warm.
Joy then relieved him. rt
There was much disappointment
felt when It was known that the
field sports had fallen through-that
is. with the exception Of the throwing
at target-event. which was pulled on.
In this event target-a beer adv.
tray---how could they miss it?-was
erected on second base. Michael Fish
er donated a prize OF $40 to the best
thrower. There were quite a num-
Der of eompetitors--some sixteen In
