HOW DID THEY DID IT
Room For Speculation As to Who Will
Win The First Years Trophy
No Walk-Overs

A sensation was a feature of last
Sundays ball games, when the K
A. C.'s, the weakest team of the
League put the high and mighty
Kilauea' S to slumber with a score
of 6 to 5. This victory by the
weakest over the strongest, is indie
ativc of great Improvement on the
part of the weak team, or else some
mighty funny playing on the part
of the strong team. If the former
be the case, then Hawaiian is de-
serving of highest praise, while if
the latter be true, Kilauea should
locate and dispense with its very
funny" plays, ere it is too late.
When the news that the Hawai-
haus had defeated their big antag
onists spread, look Of wonde rand
doubt was plainly visible OH the ia
ces of the big-team sympathizers-
doubt as to correctness of the report
and wonder that such could hap
pen. Such did happen, however,
and the K. A. C.'s were kept busy
nearly all Sunday night receiving
the congratulations of their friends,
The Homesteaders-" May their
shadows niver grow liss after
amusing themselves by teasing the
Eleele bunch who had not denied
their ilnplicacy in a recent white
wash game in which the farmers
were also slightly interested-put
the screws to the Eleeles with the
score of IA to 8, This was the sec
ond sensation of the day and was
the source of much rejoicing among
the farmers.
From Hanalei comes the report
of the work of the Junior League
which was recently organized. A
game was pulled off last Sunday on
the Haena field between the Home
= team and Hanaleis, the latter win
ming with a score of 13 to 8. The
game was a walk-over for the visi-
) tors. The Werner brothers distin-
guished themselves as usual by the
class of ball they put up. AS the
: weather was fine large audience
occupied the grand stand" "
One of not the least pleasing fea-
lures of the game in Lihue Sunday
was the presence of the Lihue band
= Good band music is so i'll keeping
| with base ball, that it is a pity al
arrangement cannot be made to get
the band to play for every game al
the park. The summary of the
. Lihue- -Koloa game follows:
f The Lihues put it all over the
, Koloas to the tune of 7 to 2. Ka'
mau, pitching for the Lihue Cardi
S mails, should have had a shut-oul
game, but for few errors back o.
him. Three hits were made off hi:
delivery, whilst the Lihue touched
up Paris for eleven bingles.
A double killing in the first in
ming, sort of took the wind out o.
the Koloa 5 sails. Paris had dou,
bled, Medeiros was out, Opunui tC
Malina. Paris tried to score, bu
was caught at the home plate ant
then Brandt Famed.
| The Cardinals got busy with the
stick in the third. With two down
9 Kamaka singled and made second
: when Paris tried to catch him a
, first, the ball going wild, Dol le
I, loose a two-bagger and Kamak;
tailed. Fernandes bunted safely
! and stole the second sack. Opunu
singled and brought Dol and Fer
nandes home. Malina then mad'
4 a home run, scoring Opuuui ahea'
of him. Makanani trippled, bu
= Rice ended the agony by flying t
{ Sasaki. Five runs,
\ The Koals, in the fourth, score,
once. Paris died second to first
p Medeiros walked and stole, The
: Brandt flew to Ahana, Kuhlma
reached third on an error, Medei
ros scoring, Toichi died secon
