PUNAHOUS TAXI:
ODD GAME and
annex SERIES
Snappy Ball playing Gives Cas-
Ties Players Victory Over
St. Louis Alumni at
MoiIiiH

As was the case a week ago, one
very bad inning spelled defeat for the
st. Louis Alumni team yesterday, the
Punahou amateurs chasing enough
men across the plate in single frame
TO cinch the game, In spite Of ninth
inning rally by the under dogs, which
for moment gave them an outside
chance OF pulling the contest out Of
the fire.
The Punahous played better ball
than their opponents, and were en-
titled on their performance to the
long end OF the score. A good many
errors were chalked up against them,
but most Of them we're hard chances.
Castle was more effective in the
box than Barney Joy, and on the
whole he received better support. In
fielding and base running the Puns
showed more pep than the Saints,
and altogether the three-game series
has shown the former to be the bet
ter team. In spite OF the fast profess
sionRl regulations of the st. Louis
players. II the three games played
give true line on relative merit,
the Punahou Athletic Club has bet.
Ter chance of winning from Stanford
than has the ST. Louis organization.
The game was won and lost In the
third, when five hits, two of them for
extra sacks, coupled with brace OF
errors. put six Punahou men across
the rubber. After that it was a.
over but the shouting, and although
Castle weakened perceptibly in the
final frame, letting in two runs by
two successive wild heayes, and be-
ing touched for three safe hits, sharp
fielding put the extinguisher on st.
Louis hopes, a snappy double play
ending the inning and the game.
There was no scoring for either
side In the first two innings. but in
the third Schnman opened with a
safe hit, and Castle sacrificed him
with a hunt toward third. Brown
was safe on an error, and Billy Hoogs
cleaned up with two-bagger G.
Ffoogs beat out hunt. and stole sec.

finely dOub1e TO left, drove in a brace
Of runs. 4 passed ball put him on
third. and Newell was given HE on

big fellow bowling Heinie Raphael

scoring for the Punahous.

IL was recovered. Akana hit, scoring
Hampton. but Barney JOY ended the
frame by hitting into a double play

The real struggle came In the last
half of the ninth. With four-run
lead the Punahous looked like safe
winners, but Fernandez drove out s
sharp single to left, and T. Moriyams
followed with one TO center. Castle
cut loose wild pitch, advancing the
men. and then. repeated, Fernandez
scoring. C. Moriyama came through
with a two-bagger to left. and wit
only one man gone 1t looked as
though the Saints might drive enough
runs across to tie or win. However
