Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1909-04-26

how did the old shack vibrate with
the cheers that went up when the
N. G. II. team scored four-yes, four
runs in the second inning of their
game against the Marines! The fans
simply acted as IL all Hawaii had
Just beaten a first-class team from
the Coast. Hats went up in the air.
and the yells must have been heard
lat Eva.
The start OF the Guards had been
so miserable that people were won
dering what was going to happen
next. Bushnell was the first man up
TO bat, and Hines, for the Marines,
quickly sent him to the right-about
without his making connection with
the sphere; then Kaai faced the
deadly twirler, and 1t was one, two,
three for him, too; Lota followed
and Hines, tying himself In a knot,
passed the Guardsman three that he
never saw, much less hit. Then the
Marine bunch of fans went up in
the air; yells Of. What about not
getting to second base! Wow"
who is 1T now?" you would put
IL In the paper, would your" DO the
bunch OF you think you can score
once today?" II was certainly
merry party for about five minutes,
and the Guardsmen's rooters could
only say, wait bit; we will make
you do the balloon act before we are
through with your bunch" And,
say! how they did astonish the Mar
ines when they came up for their sec
ond! Why. the men were coming in
over the home-plate so often that 1t
was hard to keep track OF them, and
doubts were expressed as to the cor
rectness OF the tally when four runs
were put up on the board. But there
was no mistake; Lemon hit a dandy
two-bagger; Sumner got to first on
center fields error: Soares made
first, and Lemon got to third; Kaia
made FIRST on good hit to left field;
Lemon died at the home-plate: Sum-
ner to third, and then Burns up TO
bat. Burns got to first safe and Sum-
ner came home, Soares advancing to
third. Marcallino came up to bat
with the bases full, and takes base
on free pas. forcing Soares home.
Kaai to third and Bushnell took
strike, making a two-bagger, bring
ing home Burns and Kaia. Four
runs was the tale of Joy, and then
the circus started In the grandstand.
The Guards kept things going from
that on, and after scoring two In the
third and one In the fourth. rested
in the fifth and sixth, and then, wax
ing up once more, made four in the
seventh. The Marines scored one
run in the first. and that was their
limit.
The first game between the Fort
Shafter lads and the Fighting
Fifth" from Leilehua was also an
exciting event, and kept the fans go
ing all the time. The Shafter bunch
scored two In the first, and led by
that score up till the third, when
the Fifth made no less than five
runs; after that II was all over with
the Infantry. and the Cavalry boys,
hitting up one more In both the
fifth and sixth, romped home win
ners to the tune of seven to two.
Moran pitched good ball for the Shat
ter team, and has a trick something
like Our Bill Burns"-of throwing
to first without changing his style
or showing any symptoms OF a balk.
Talking of balks reminds that In the
seventh inning OF the n. G. H.-Mar-
Inc game Kaai, who was on third.
was allowed to walk home on a balk
by Pitcher Ramsey.
In the Guardsmens second inning
Burns In trying to get home in hur-
ry collided with Catcher Anderson OF
the Marines, and laid him out cold.
1t took some hard massaging and
plenty of cold water to bring the
injured man to his senses once more.
Anderson had to retire and George
Davis took his place for the rest OF the
game. Butler and Hartley formed the
battery for the Cavalry boys, and did
real good work; Sheppard on first also
played dandy ball.
The Hawaiian band played right
through the afternoon, and their music
was much appreciated by everyone.
The first ball Of the Military League
games was pitched by Major Long, and
