Victory Over Artillerists De-
CideS League Race.
BURBANK IN FINE FORM
Left-handed TwlrIer Holds Soldiers to
Three Hits and Visitors Barely Es-
cape Shut out-Some Sensational
Fielding.

BY defeating the Fort Monroe Artii-
eIymen, 2 to |, on New Park diamond
yesterday morning the Hampton CraD-
bers clinched the Virginia Peninsula
League pennant for 1910. and won the
beautiful silver cup offered 10 the
winner OF the leagues rag by A
G. Spaulding & COMPANY
The game was one of the fastest or
the season and again the fans had the
the chance to witness another pitch-
ing dvfl between Burbank and Nor
ley, who had twice before given the
lovers of the sport some fast twirllhg'
Burbank did wonderful work for seven
innings, not allowing the Soldiers Il
single hit and only letting one visitor
reach first. He weakened in the
eighth and during the next two inh'
ings the visitors found him for three
two baggers-Wilson. Grain and Boyce
sending the leather over the right fleid
fence. In the ninth Boyce doubled
and came trottlng home when Grain
doubled.
Hampton scored one run In the Third
on Buchanan's single, Wilson's bad
throw, and Joynes' beautiful bunt
In this round Hampton had the sacks
filed but was unable TO get another
man across the plate. In the hfth
Russell got a pass, went to second on
Joynes' single and scored on Derrlsa
error.
The contest was a splendid exhibi'
ton of fielding on the part OF the
Crabbers. who accepted every chance
and some of them were most difficult
too. Jackson's and Lands beautiful
running catches: the work II walsh
behind the bat, Joynes ding and
his work at short, Buchanan's slug
cling and his two pretty catches were
the features for the locals, while
Derrish's at short, and the two bag
gers Of Boyce, Wilson and Grain were
the brilliant features for the visiting
team. Naturally the pitching of Bur
bank and Morley made the game the
splendid exhibition that it turned ou'
to be.
A crowd of more than 1000 fans
from Hampton, Phoebus and Olc
Point filed the bleachers and the
grandstand and altogether the closlns

It was while en gagged in this that hideous. skln- less thing came out of the house and ran screaming down the beach till it fell in the sand and moved ana gibbered under the scorching sun .Mauki looked toward it and hesi- tated. Then he went over and re- moved the head, which las wrapped in a mat and slowed in the stern locker of the cutter.
 So soundiy did the kanakas sleep through that long, hot day that they did not see the cutter run out through the passage and head sout1, close-hauIed on the southeast trade.

He landed at Port Adams with a wealth of rifles and tobacco such as no one man had ever possessed before But he did not stop there. He had taken a white mans head, and only the bush could shelter him. So back he went to the bush villages. where he shot old Fanfoa and half a dozen of the chief men, and made himself the chief over all the villages. When his father died, Gaulzi's brother ruled in Port Adams, and, joined to- gether, saltwater men and bushmen, the resulting combination was the strongest of the ten-score fighting tribes of MaIaita
 More than his fear of the British Government was Maulzi's fear Of the aII-powerful MoongIeam Soap Com pany; and one day a message came up to him in the bush, reminding him that he owed the company eight and one-haIf years of labor.

 Mauki's ears were pierced, not in one place, nor two places, but in a couple of dozen places. In one of the smaller holes he carried a slay pipe The larger holes were too large for such use. The bowl of the pipe would have fallen through. In fact, in the largest hole in each ear he habitually wore round, wooden plugs that were an even four inches in diameter. Roughly speaking, the circumference oe said holes was twelve and one half Inches. Mauki was catholic in his tastes. In. the various smaller holes he carried such things as empty fife cartridges, horseshoe nails, copper screws, pieces of string, braids of sennit, strips of green leaf, and, in the cool of the day, scarlet hibiscus flowers.

He knew the way of the fishes and oysters, and the reef was an open book to him. Canoes, also, he knew. He learned to swim when he was a year old. At seven years he could hold his breath a full minute and swim straight down to bottom through thirty feet of water And at seven years he was stolen by the bushmen, who cannot even swim and who are afraid of salt water. Thereafter Mauki saw the sea only from a dis tance. through rifts in the jungle and from open spaces on the high mountain sides
