SERIES BY EXIINGUISH|NG STARS

and sent Barney back to the bat,
where he was retired second to first.
The majority of the fans believed that
the ball cleared the right field fence
in fair territory, however. and that
Joy was entitled to homer. After
that, Medeiros took good care to pass
the Star skipper, although the latter
ravedA round the plate and besought
the j. A C. slabster to put one over
so that he could comb it.
The Stars scored three in the third,
and looked TO have the game all their
own way, but that ended their run
getting.
In the third Buckley got a freak
home run, on a hit to right that
bounced under the right field bleech-
ers, while Kentnor paved the air try
ing to climb over the boards and re-
trieve it. One hit, pass and couple
-or errors accounted for two more
runs in the sixth, and the fatal eighth
finished the trick, as above related.
Medeiros pitched a heady game, but
he wasn't particularly tight, and was
prodigal with his passes, issuing no
less than eight, two, of which were
intentional.
The score:

4 A. G. 6. Stars A.

j.. "A. y. y, QUITS 4.
Well, the j. A. C.'s did it. Again
they snatched victory from the grasp
, of B. Joy & Co., and with the game
carried off the championship of the
first half of the Oahu League series.
As in the first game of the tie series
week ago, the Stars had the contest
wrapped up and ready to take home,
but the Japanese grabbed the package
and made off with it at the last min
ute.
1t was a good game to watch, not
OILY because ii contained about every
thing that makes baseball interest
ink to the fans, but because of the
highly rivalry between the opposing
teams, and the attempt at getting
Barney joys goat that every member
of the opposition, and many non COM
katahts in the stand and bleachers
made. Close decisions, costly errors
and cleanup hits kept the fans and
players on their toes all the time, and
gave a line of dope for future dis
cussion that will last well into the
second series.
The game was won and lost in the
eighth, when the score stood to in
favor of the Stars. The J. A. c.
came to bat, and Markham was out
TIC Whine, unassisted. Hampton hit
safely to right, and Bruins put one
over the third baseman's head. Then
Henry Walker waddled up to the
Plate and laced out two Dagger to
right, scoring Hampton. The crowd
vent wild and the Japanese supporters
rocked for Barney to aviate, but the
big Hawaiian kept his head in good
shape, and the best that Buckley
could get was a weak pop to first.
Tong Medeiros came up smiling, and
the fans yelled to him to win his own
game. He laid down a fast hopping
ed in to field. He fumbled and the
ball carromed off Kibbey, who had
run over form short to back him up.
Two runs came across and the Stars
hopes of winning the first series
twinkled out of sight.
The battle of the opposing pitchers
was the real feature of the game, with
Joy and his doings the main attrac-
ton. Everyone wanted to watch that
alleged balk of his throwing to first,
over which the Japanese raised such
howl last Sunday, but for the first few
innings Barney didn't get much
chance to throw to first, for the good
reason that the runners who reached
the initial corner were few and far
between.
In the sticking department Barney
starred, getting a two Dagger that
brought Burrs across the pan in the
very first inning, the ball going to the
deep right fence at the rate OF mile
minute. Next time up Joy pulled
the unexpected by hitting to the left
foul line for two sacks, and the third
time up he got home run. The
Umpire didn't see it that way though,

Capturing A Lion

While the agent of Campbell Broth
ers Great Consolidated Shows which
will exhibit in Julesburg, Colo. on Fri
day, August 2, was in our Office, he re-
lated u story Of the capture of an Afri-
can Lion in its native forest.
Mr.. H. C. Brashear, the purchasing
agent of the show made trip toAfrica
to try and secure some wild animals for
the menagerie. While there the ma
tives told him of male Lion that had
evaded capture for four years. Mr..
Brashear Immediately offered a large
sum for the capture of the animal and
the natives began at one to plan how
to secure the reward.
First, a large circular pit was dug
about Is feet deep, and all the dirt
from the excavation was carefully
carried away, as Lion is very sus-
picious. The hole was then thorough
ly covered with light brush and grass,
and made to appear q If the ground
hal never been touched. The next
step was to secure some object, temp
ting enogh to attract Mr.. iAon to the
place, A live lamb wu 6oug6t, and
hung by strong cord from the limb of
. tree that reached out over the
covered pit: All these preparations
were made late in the evening,
That night the Monarch'of the for
est, while stalking for prey, heard
the lamb bleating and made . spring
for it; catching it, of course the
etring broke and the hon and lamb
both went crashing down into the pit.
At daybreak the natives brought \
large net which they threw down
over the lion in the pit. In his rage at
being caught and in his efforts to claw
his way free from the net covering
him he only got more tangled up in it
till at last he was so thoroughly enmesh-
ed that the natives had little trouble in
placing him in strong crate and he
was . captive.
The Campbell Brothers thus secured
what is considered to be the finest
specimen of All African Lion in Amer
lea today. Be sure and seehim.
