VAIN EA

T Il e Hawaiian and Waimea
teams met on the Waimea field
and put up one of the prettiest ex-
hibition of baseball ever played on
the home ground. 1t was nip-and-
tuck, first one, then the other lead
ing off, and it was simply any
body's game to the very last when
the visitors did some extra stick
work and won out by 2 scores.
The Waimea diamond is a great
deception to those who are un-
familiar with it, in so much as the
sand prevents the ball from rolling
when it falls, which fact makes it
almost impossible to bring in a
home run. The sand is also as
destructive to base runners, as il is
rather uphill business to negotiate
a base at record speed. drilling
through sand ankle deep. The
game Sunday was attended by
crowd of fans which would indi-
cate no falling off in public interest
in baseball.
