The Barre Athletic club baseball team
Honolulu by a score of 10 to in an IL
Inning game at the seminary campus
Yesterday afternoon. The followers of
the Barre team were afforded a game
that will not soon be forgotten. Dur
ing the last few innings, the specta-
tors were on their feet roofing hard for
the local lads. and when Captain "Bill'
Johnston made his way to home plate
lin the 18th inning with the winning run,
pandemonium broke loose among the
crowd. The game was dragging well
into the hours Of night; darkness was
fast enveloping mother earth and the
curfew was about to peal forth its little
story when A. Akana dropped the throw
from Tin, permitting the Barre captain
Ito count.
The 18th inning started by L. Akana
passing w. Johnston. Robert Johnston
then slammed a line hit into right field
for two bases. The hit might have been
stretched into more bases w. Johnston
crossed the plate on the hit, but was
ordered back to third on account of the
ground rules. A moment later with
Wright at bat, w. Johnston was caught
mapping off third. After prancing up and
down the base line. few times, the
Barre leader made for home. A. Akana
tagged him, but Johnston was travel
ling with such speed that the ball was
dropped.
Tommy" Davidson, the diminutive
twirler of the Barre team, led his team
mates to victory The little fellow had
fine speed and control. With the excep
Itions of the fifth, sixth and ninth in

lsst two innings he appeared to be grow
ling stronger, not showing any signs Of
fatigue In the last inning with men on

hill the scene taking place in the fourth
inning. Luke Yee responded to the call
and assumed the duties of Apau. When
the fight began to thieken in the ninth
inning 'sBig Chief Akana came in from
right field to command the situation
but seemed to be short of stuff Sew
eral approved plays were made during
the game. Mute, who was the individual
star of the day, made an unusual one
handed catch of an alleged Texas Lacquer
in the first inning There was a man on
third, who attempted to score on the
play. Mute recovered himself and shot
the ball from short center field like
lightning to Fowlie, heading off the run
ner, who was run down between third
and home. Mute covered his position
with the ease of a Lacquer. He accepted
nine chances without slip. Many OF
his six assists required throws from deep
short, but his iron whip never failed.
], Bill Stuart. the former Spaulding |
player, made a hair-raising play in the
sixth inning, when he turned back into |
right field for Honk Chack's fly. He |
took the ball from over his shoulder
while on the dead run near the maple |
grove Asam duplicated Stuart's catch |
in the same inning by making similar

lead up until the sixth inning. having |
