VISITORS HAD A
NARROW SHAVE


the Mauinese by four wickets at Ka-
hului on Wednesday. 1t was not
brilliant victory by any means. In fact,
had it not been for the great stand
made by Bob Anderson and Will Brown
in the first inning, it would have been
all off with the visitors.
The game was well protected but
poorly threatened all the way through,
with the exception named above. The
Honolulu boys did not show the form
they had with them in practise games
and the Maui people, with several first
timers in their team, made remark
able showing
The features of the game were many.
The bowling of Lindsay for Maui, the
batting of Ayau, the Chinese player
who went out on cricket field for the
first time, the wonderful catches of
some of those who had played baseball,
the one and only four-hit made by Bob
Anderson, the great fielding by Will
Chillingworth, who had played the game
only twice before, the fall-down of the
Honolulu team in both the beginning
of the first inning and all through the
second inning, the grand team work of
the Maui players. All these were full
of interest. not only for a cricketite
but for anybody who likes to watch
sporting event and they were all easily
understandable.
Skinner Goes in First.
The weather was warm and the pitch,
aided by the mat brought over from
Honolulu, was rather heavy on account

neatly blocked by Skinner but it was
not long before Thompson was neatly
stumped for n duck egg and then
Sparks went in.
None of the Maui players made any
thing of a score in the first inning.
They would have made whole lot
more if they had realized the weakness
of the visitors fielding. Their run
and they might have made many more
if they had taken more chances.
Lothrop Wilmington who felded Mt
long on corresponding in way to
centerfeld at basebalD, made some fine
catches and would never have been deb
tied with an error in the American
game for one running catch which he
just missed.
Try to Show Ayau.
Ayau, the little Chinese PLAYER who
made a great score in the second in
ming, was b0wled for runs, simply be-
cause some of his own side tried to
show him how to hold bat. If they
had let him alone, as they did in the
second inning, there is little doubt that
he would have saved the game. He
tried to hold the bat according to form
and the consequence was that McGill
sent one of those off breaks that curved
round his bat and took the balls Off
the wickets.
The tragedy of the first inning was
when Mr.. Ault, the Man they love on
Maui" with "Rev." before his name,
failed to show up in time and Densham
was sent in to take his place and run
opposite MeIIardy. The two made sew
eral runs through McHardy's excellent
batting, but the reporter ran too hard
and was stumped before he could get
back to his block. Had he been more
careful, there is little doubt that Nc
Hardy would have batted out a large
score.
