More terrific excitement in the Inter
scholastic League. All the dope has
been upset and the wise prophets don t
know whore they are at. Yesterday
afternoon the High School just managed
to beat out st. Louis by keeping cool
and not getting ratified at the crisis
and the Rams put it all over poor old
Punahou by very hard score.
1t looks very much as though the four
teams would keep on tying their posi-
tions right down the line. Nobody
would be surprised to see them all with
500 per cent. after the next two games
have been played. And, judging from
present conditions, the last game of the
series is liable to end With all four
teams tied
The weather was just about as miser-
able as could be yesterday. 1t rained,
not enough to postpone the games but
just enough to make the ground slip
perry and the ball very much so and
to keep the spectators, of whom there
was large crowd, chasing for the shell
ter of the trees periodically.
The diamond slopes steeply away
from the plate and is even more down
mill beyond second base, so that the
teams who were playing on a strange
ground should certainly be excused for
errors Trying to field wet bal on
a slippery slope is like walking up a
chute with the water running down it
and some of the second basemen and
shortstops are to be greatly sympathiz-
ed with.
Henry to the Rescue.
The feature of the afternoon was,
without doubt, the heady work done by
the High School at the end of the game.
McCandless had been pitching a rat
thing good game but was weakening a
trif1e so Henry Chillingworth went in
to save the situation and he certainly
did save it.
At the end of the sixth INNING the
score was tied to 8 and the Saints
added one in the eighth, putting them
one in the lead. Then the Mckinley
kiddos tied the score again in the last
of the eighth and it was up to some
body to score in the next inning.
Henry had just about warmed up by
that time and he soon disposed of the
Saints, one, two and three. Dowsett
was the first man up for the High. And
what did he do but double with a
beauty half way between center and
right field where there was nobody to
catch it. Then Kaulukou singled and
Dowsett went to third.
Then funny thing happened. Abe
Norton swung at ball and missed but
he had the whole thing figured out and
ran like fury for first base. Xavier
was not taking any chances with a
man on third and froze onto the ball
so that Norton was safe while Kaulu-
kou went to second.
No men down and the bases full.
Then it was our gallant Achieu with
lei round his hat and the power in his
bat, who handed out bingle that sent
Dowsett home few. Huge excitement
on the part of the High School rooters.
A voluminous Swatfest.
The second game was perfect swat
fest Twenty three bingles were record
ed, fifteen of them by the winners and
eight by the losers Of these one was
home run by Mckenzie who swatted
the ball into a space between two cot
tages near left field and the fielder had
to 90 searching in the flower beds, three
of them were triples and two were
doubles.
Sing Chong was the star bingler of
the afternoon. He made four of those
things that take you to first without
any trouble and he also did some fine
fielding work. In the fourth he jumped
high for hot one and caught it and,
in the eighth, he did a splendid piece
of recovery over a hot bouncing ground
er and got his man out at first with
one grand throw. He is debited with
two errors, but they were both very
venial ones, due entirely to the state
of the ground and the ball.
The First Game.
Dreier started to pitch for the Saints,
but he was not in good form and the
second man up, Bill Rice, proceeded to
swat him. Bill stole twice and Kawa-
motto and Henry Chillingworth were
both safe and all three of them romped
. on series of fumbles and errors.
This would not do at all so Esplnda
took Dreier S place and then things
began to improve. There was no more
scoring until the fourth, when the
Saints began to find McCandless. They
hammered out three bingles. Asam was
the first and he went to second while
Fsninda was safe on second baseman :
error. Xavier followed with bingle
and the bases were full. Robinson s
further work in the bingling line was
lust needed and Asam and Espinda
romped.
1t was in the sixth that the score
was tied, Robinson being the man tc
do the trick by series of fortunate
errors. The Saints scored again IN the
eighth and put themselves one ahead
1t looked as though they were going
to do things. for Chillingworth had JUS
started TO pitch and there were grave
symptoms of balloon ascension.
But this did not amount to ANYTHING
In the second half of the eighth Rice
walked and stole second and third theI
came home on third baseman's error
