WHITEWASH FOR
THE PUNAHOUS
Home Run by Davis and Several
Double Plays, Features
r OF Game.
Punahous, O.

1.-THE Sparklers upset the whitewash
4 tub on the Puns yesterday afternoon
in the first game of the new Big League
series. In spite of the one-sided score
the game was not by any means a bad
one to watch and there were some
double plays that were pippins.
The great feature of the afternoon
was the fact that the youngsters did
the best work. The Diamond Heads
had four minor league players and the
other five of the team were all compare
tive youngsters.
The Punahous, on the other hand, had
several players who ought to be out
on the club veranda with the Crock
ing Chair Fleet telling about how It
used to be done.
Still it was good game and not one
of the fans who went out could help
but realize that, with little time to
get things settled down to working
basis, the Big League will put up bet,
ter ball than ever.
Arcia Makes Good
Danny Arcia made good. He played
q wonderfully steady game and was
guilty of only one error; that was when
he got the sun in his eyes on high
fly and fumbled it. A most venial fault.
Danny came within an ace of scoring
for the Puns entirely unassisted. This
was in the eighth inning and Danny
would have scored had Medcraft not
swung at a blatant ball and thus
bad wi
Danny went to the bat. The latter
made pretty bingle to center field and
then made one grand sprint to second
for steal Then Clarence Cooke famed
but Danny stole third in the meanwhile.
Bill Hampton walked and naturally
stole second with man on third. Then
Mederaft came to the bat. With two
strikes and three balls, he was so de-
termined to bingle that he swung at
the next ball and missed for the simple
reason that it was wild. But Danny
was taking chances and ran as hard as
he could when the ball left Bob Leslie g
hand.
Winnie fumbled the ball and Area
easily reached the plate before he had
recovered. But, as Mederaft had swung
at the ball. he was out and, being third
man out, Danny's speedy work was or
no avail. If Medcraft had not swung,
it would have been ball, he would
have walked and Danny would have
scored.
Davis Can Hit Them.
Davis made several sensational hits
for the Diamond Head team. In the
first inning he made home run, send
ing Eddie Fernandez in ahead OF him.
1t was a grand swat. The ball went
inst beyond where Jack Kia could reach
it and went bouncing along until 1t hit
the angle of the fence and then buried
itself in an out of the way place where
If took Jack some time to find it.
Sumner also made a triple to the
same place that might have been
home run had it not been for excellent
fielding. AS it was the triple did as
much good as the homer as both Leslie
and Joe Fernandez romped on 1t.
Out of Deep Hole.
One of the most sensational plays OF
4he afternoon was in the second half
of the first inning The Puns had the
bases full with none down and yet the
Sparklers kept them from scoring. Med
craft hit hot one past short, but
Henry captured it, sent to Winnie VINO
got Arcia out at the plate and then
sent to Eddie Fernandez IN time TO

It was one grand play and worth the
price of admission to see.
