What do you know about this? Pu-
six runs in the first inning. At the
end of the fifth inning 1t was 16 to 8
in favor of the High School, and yet
Pupahou bucked up and won out in
the last inning by making FIVE runs
after bringing their score up to 10 in
the eighth. ~
And what do you know about this?
Punahou made twenty-eight hits, of
nahou and High School both made
which two were two-baggers and
eight were triples, while there was
one home run by Sing C.rJng. Twenty
eight hits! You couldn't call them
errors on that ground, where an OUT
fielder has no idea where the ball is
going to bounce. He stands where he
thinks the ball is coming and where it
would go under ordinary circum-
stances, anu lllSH Suuueiily ~
bouncing off at a tangent.
We must certainly hand it to the
Punahou kiddos for the work they did
yesterday afternoon. With huge

has watched any of these games. The
sidelnes were packed tight with root
ers and there were two thousand peo-
pie present at the very least.
Fun, Not Baseball.
The first game could not exactly be
called baseball, but it was lots of fun.
For while it was case of every
body swatting the ball way down the
hill where the outfielders could NOT
find it and then making three-baggers
or home runs, whichever they thought
best.
The excitement was simply terrific

Too Many Features.
To pick out any features of eithel
game would be impossible. To at
tempt to score the games by innings
would take six stenographers and
phonograph, not to mention two page
of the paper, so we will let it go will

Punahous are well ahead, the situa
ton is as keen as ever, and there vii

noon when the Kams get after tn
Punahou team on Alexander field.
