SAINTS AGAIN
VICTORIOUS
Interscholastic Leaeuo ,standlng.
st. Louis, 8; Kamehameha, s.

youf With every game that is played
in this league series it is moro and more
apparent that we are just commencing
to watch the most closely contested and
exciting series that has ever been pull.
ed of on this island.
There rs no chance whatever to choose
winner. The dope is upset every time
n game is played, and the four teams
are 81 closely matched that each and
every game will be fercely contested
as long as the series lasts.
peculiar thing about the games so
far is that Oahu has won only one
game and that the first one. Yet when
the game with the High School was
postponed on account of the rain on
the first day the Puns had been in for
the better part of an inning and had
enjoyed regular swatfest. Everybody
thought that they would have an easy
thing of it. But it doesn't look as
though anybody would have an easy
thing by any means.
Play Good Ball.
1t was good ball that was played at
Alexander field yesterday afternoon.
The few errors came in bad places and
were all very costly. Pedro got tangled
up with bunt in the fourth which sent
MiEkaa to third and hit that followed
by kalimapehu sent the former home.
Akana missed fly in the sixth that
was another very costly affair, and it
seemed that all the different kinds of
ill-luck had conspired to make every
error come just in the wrong place.
There was a very pretty double play
tho GaannH inni,,,
first when Milikaa hit hot one down
near second base. Will Markham made
very neat stop, ran to second base
and threw to Dreier in nice time to get
Milikaa out.
Pitching Combination.
A feature of the game was the great
way In which the Saints work their
twirlers. They always have one in re.
serve and, at the very first signs that
pitcher is firing or getting ratified, biff,
out he comes, and another takes his
place. Yesterday they worked Pedro
hard for six innings, and then his
Majesty the King of Spain, sometimes
known as Bill Espinda, walked into the
box and proceeded to do things.
There was nothing doing in the first
inning The Saints went in first and
made things look dangerous for few
but they went out with a man
left on third. Then Pedro wound him
self into sixteen knots and proceeded
to get rid of the Kan batters one, two
three, with two pops and fan.
Neither was there any scoring in the
second and third, although the Kams
looked very dangerous when Bartels
reached third. 1t looked as though
Kamaiopili could beat it to first and
score Bartels, but Aiona made mag.
nlficent throw TO Dreier and, as there
were two men down, it was all off.
First Run of the Game.
In the fourth inning the Saints made
the first run. Dreier bingled and Quni
sacrificed him to second. Then Robin.
son singled Dreier to third and. of
course, stole to second. Bill Markham
walked and the bases were full Mill. |

Fred Markham and Dreier

tangled. Hoopli skied way off in cen. |
ter field, it was an ideal sacrifice with |
the bases full and only one man down. |
but the coach evidently thought there |
were two men down, so Robinson on
third did not run after the ball was
caught. Then Espinda popped and so |
only one run was scored.
The Kams tied the score in the sec
IN half of the inning, due to a muffed |
ount and bingle by Kalimapehu which
scored Milikaa. In the fifth the Kams |

error. This put the score 9 to l in favor
IF the Hams and it looked poor for the
saints.
Both Score in Sixth.
But the Saints came back strong in
me sixth and scored two more. This |
'hey did very neatly on two hits and a |
very costly error by Akana. These two
taliies put them one in the lead, but
positions were reversed after the end |
'f the inning, for the Kams also scored
.wo runs.
There were two men down. Milikaa

Robinson fooled, and by the time the
'all was anywhere near the plate Kali

Mcintyre had actually romped the en-.

An Exciting Period.
The second half of the ninth was the
exciting period. There was no score in
