Oahu College wins out in an eleven
inning game.
Here they are again, all tied. There
was excitement galore at Alexander
field yesterday afternoon when Taylor
sent out pretty hit that brought in
the necessary run to tie the score in
the ninth inning, and again in the
eleventh when Lota did the same
trick with long hit to deep center
and knocked Desha home with the
winning run with one man out.
+ The interscholastic series is devel-
oping into a fast and furious race
for championship honors, and there is
no chance to pick the winner. All
four teams are playing mighty fast
baseball for school teams, and any
game you choose to watch is well
worth while.
The Game.
Henry Chillingworth was in the box
for the High School, and he pitched a
steady game, striking out ten men
and giving only one free pass to first.
Rex Hitchcock did well while he
pitched, but in the seventh inning he
made wild throw over Hogs head
that was responsible for couple of
runs. Thereafter he showed signs of
going up in balloon, and Lota was
called in from right field to finish the
job. There were other errors made by
the Punahou infielders that were cost
". giving the High School boys all
four of their runs.
| In the first inning Rice got on base,
but the other three men were out,
leaving nc chance for him to score.
A scorching hit by Hoogs just over
third was the start of the doings for
the college boys, and three runs were
corralled before the inning ended
There was nothing doing for either

combination of errors gave the Highs
one more. In the eighth they got

fast games, when Punahou and st.
