The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-06-05

WIN sumner II was SJrlke one, then
out, flew to second; Joy swung at
the first, but was out on the next,
foul fly, but Hoopii let the first go by
and flew to third on the second.
Stars Discredited.
The Stars made very poor show
ing, indeed, not at all in keeping with
the promises they have been showing
It was anticipated that the Stars would
be in the fight for the pennant, but
that hope has been blasted The Stars
will now have to fight hard to guard
against being left in the cellar.
Japs Ratified From start.
Everything seemed to go wrong
with the Japanese from the moment
that Espinda took charge of the twirl-
ing He walked three in the first
spasm and was entirely responsible
for the scoring, but later in the game
other members of the team helped
the Native Sons to fatten their total
The Amateurs Opening.
Rice walked, Desha sacrificed him
to second, Kualii walked, but was put
out on Hamauku's grounder to sec
ond. Then the fun began. Rice start
ed to steal home, and Espinda present
cd the Native Sons with a run by
throwing the ball out of the catchers
IaY o1c hut
was sent back to third, being only
given that base for the passed ball.
However. another wild pitch gave
Hamauku the run. A Dagger by
Mcintyre and a sacrifice by Rice add
ed another run in the second, while
couple more were added in the fifth
and three in the seventh.
Lota's Base Stealing.
Lota started proceedings in the fifth
grounding so hard to Espinda that
the pitcher jumped out of the way and
the ball hit Umpire Hampton. Lota
electrified the fans by stealing second
and third and coming home on still
another wild pitch before the next
batter up had made up his mind
whether to bunt or fam Rice walked,
Desha hunted and made the base,
Espinda being too slow in picking up,
but Rice was caught trying to steal
to the plate. Kaulii's hit to left field
scored Desha.
A CLEAN Amid the Gloom.
There was a neat double play in
the Native Sons sixth. Dreier reach
ed first through Walkers error, the
latter colliding with Chillingworth as
the short stops mitt closed on a fly, /
Chillingworth to drop the ball.
Dreier did not get any !
further, as McIntyres grounder to |
short was smartly fielded to second |
putting out Dreier and relayed on to
first catching Mcintyre still running.
Errors On Errors.
In the seventh it was a swatfest.
Lota made the initial sack through
failing to hold his
very hard drive, and stole
scoring on Rice's bunt through !
Francois error on first. Desha sacri-
feed Rice to third, and Kaulii made
MS base on Rosss wild throw from
.hird Then Kualii stole second and |
Rice scored on Espinda's balk Aka
mas error gave Hamauka first, and !
both Hamaullu and Kaulii advanced a |
base on Espindas second balk. Ra-
phael grounded to short, scoring Kau-
Iii, but shorts smart throw to first
retired Raphael and enabled Akana
10 relay the ball to the plate in time
10 put out Hamauku.
The End at Last.
Then the scoring ceased. The Ma
tive Sons had eight while the Japan
2se had solitary tally to save them
from a whitewash. That one run
came in the third innings. Walker
was the hero. He gained the first
sack by being hit by pitcher, went
to second on a wild pitch, and came
home on Akana's two-bagger to the
right field fence.
The game was heart-breaking for
the Japanese fans. Espindas work
was the worst he has yet put up
though in one inning-the Native
Sons third, he struck out Kaulii, Ha-
mauku and Raphael in almost the
shortest order possible, only sending
down two called balls in that inning.
But otherwise he was very much off
color.
There was a good deal of hitting
done during the two games, a total of
2S hits being registered.
There were two trebles, by Fernan-
dez and Mcintyre respectively, and
one two-bagger by Allana, but even
