.PUNS AND MARINES HITT
UP LIVELY TOWARD FINISH
Alumni Win Eleven to Nine in Spectacular
Gamc---WaIker Nets Three and Only TALES
for Guards With Home Rum

The fans we're eulivcned by n sur
prise in the form Of a spectacular OK
travaganEa at the league grounds yes
terday afternoon. In the first place,
assuming that the star attraction would
be pulled of last, the paper transposed
the order Of things in the announce
ment of the performance and the
Marines dallied in their camp while
the Puns kept the grandstand from
agitating mutiny by knocking up
flies for three-quarters Of an hour. A
hurry up call was sent out for the
missing ones and it was quarter-past
two O'Clock before the grande en-
semble. The crowd massed in the
grahdstand maintained its composure
admirably in the expectation of seeing
scientific demonstration of the prin-
ciples of baseball, as applied by ex-
pert opposing factions in combinations
known as teamwork for the purpose
of shutting each other out.
The first act, however, was more
of ludicrous farce, showing how many
advantages may accrue to the one side
through the faults of the other and
vice versa. The results were equally
as miraculous as the causes, making
the plot work out to logical conclu-
| sion.
The Marines got thirteen hits, Lota,
the Punahou pitcher, only famed two
and the Marines only gathered in nine
/ oil hits
| two less than the Marines, and scored
eleven runs, two more than the Marines
| although Peyton and Gibson struck
out nine Puns to Lota two Marines.
Furthermore the Puns were charged
up with one more error than the
| Marines, the former committing seven
to the latter's six.
The second game was previously an
nounced as a seven-inner, as it was half
past four O'Clock when the Puns and
| Marines left the diamond. 1t took
on nine-inning aspect, however, when
the National Guards tied the score in
the fifth inning. but the Al-Military
team worked one man around in the
last half of the seventh period and
won out four to three.
Start In With -Four.
The past masters of the, bat landed
first with four runs in the third round.
Henderson started it with a walk,
stole second and went TO third on a
passed ball. David Desha got on the
beat by the same passed ball which
gave Henderson a look in over the
home stretch, as it happened on Desha Is
third strike. Bill Desha came in on
the trail with hit to first and Davis ,
throw home, which arrived too late and
Henderson scored the first run. David
Desha made his way around to third
on this play and Castle sacrificed him
home with an out. grounder to first.
Bill Desha moved up to third. Then
Akina rolled n slow one across the
diamond which Gibson got tired of
chasing and while Davis went over to
lift it Desha second romped home and
Akina arrived safe on the first cushion.
