the Maunese by Tour Wlckets at ma /
hului on Wednesday. 1t was not a
brilliant victory by any means. In fact,
had it not been for the great stand
made by Bob Anderson and VIII 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 a 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 a cricket field for the
first time, the wonderful catches OF
some of those who had played baseball,
the one and only four-h made by Bob
Anderson, the great fielding by Will
Chllingworth, 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 crieketite
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
of the stubby grass underneath. There
was an hour of practise on both sides
and then the two captains, MeGill and
Skinner, tossed up McGill won and sent
the Mauinese in first. Won Tempsky
took the score book, two other Maui
players umpired and Skinner and
Thompson took the bat.
Bob Anderson and McGill BOWED
and they began to do deadly execution.
Bob bowled the first ball which was
neatly blocked by Skinner but it was
not long before Thompson was neatly
stumped for ducks egg and then
Sparks went in.
None of the Maui players made any
thing of score in the first inning.
They would have made a whole lot
more if they had realized the weakness
of the visitors fielding. Their run
ming was not by any means Incorporate
and they might have made many more
if they had taken more chances.
Lothrop Wilmington who fielded at
long on corresponding in a way to
eenterfield 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 bowled for 2 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 McGil
sent one of those off-breaks that curved
round his bat and took the balls of
the wickets.
The tragedy of the first inning wal
when Mr.. Ault, the {" Man they love OF
Maui with "Rev." before his name
failed to show up in time and Denshan
was sent in to take his place and ru1
opposite McHardy. The two made sew
eral runs through McHardy's excellen
batting, but the reporter ran too har(
and was stumped before he could ge
back to his block. Had he been NOR,
careful, there is little doubt that Me
Hardy would have batted out a larg,
score.
A Sad Opening.
The first inning of the visitors opened
like whitewash tub. Lindsay startet
the ball for the Maui team and hat
the Honolulu batters going in grea
shape. He came very near to perform
ing that great old hat trick. Harr,
Bailey, Maxwell, Jordan and LothroI
Wilmington were all out for just on
run, made by Lothrop, when the Boil
Anderson and Will Brown combination
started to get busy.
1t was something to remember tn
way the two played up to each othe
and swatted out the doubles and triples
Forty-seven for Bob and Is for VII
before they were each bowled. Thel
the rest of the bunch went in and man
aged to make the entire total 101.
Tifin and Talk.
There was tiffin of the best befor
Bob and Will were put away. Larg
bowls of lemonade with ereaking ic
floating therein, trays of sandwiche
with friendly people to hand then
round and much eating and talkin
over the prospects of the game.
When the Maui team went in 70
the second inning, Tom Skinner mad
an awful mistake. He scheduled Ava
to go in last. He should have sent hir
in@frst. Ayau forgot form. he rem EN-
bered only that he had wide bat i
his hand and wanted to soak the bal
Mere bouncing curves were nothing {
him. He found that pillule every tim
and soaked it all over the place.
Wilmington Bowls Well.
Thompson and Ault went in first an
made good stand but one was caugh

was no excitement until Ayau an
