In a splendid. twelveinning battle
on Alexander Field yesterday after
noon, the Punahou nine defeated the
High School by a score Of 81. The
game was undoubtedly one of the
best of the interscholastic series
played this season. BY winning.
Punahou has again come up to the
top of the hist and now ties with
Kamehameha- The game yesterday
was hard fought by both sides from
first to last, and several times the
Highs nearly brought in the run that
would have won the game. The Highs
were at bat last, and the excitement
was intense when the Puns, with one
run lead, went into the field. Much as
they needed the run, however, the
Highs could not score When the
fourth man up knocked an easy fly to
the Punahou second baseman the
Highs saw their hopes of a victory
vanish
The Highs need have no. regrets
over the defeat of yesterday. TO
lose in such game as was played
is nearly the honor victory would
have been. Punahou was up to the
mark, and the playing was excellent.
Very few errors were made and the
batting was fair. One fine record In
batting was made by Leslie Wishard,
the Punahou third baseman. Out OF
five times at bat, Wishard made four
hits and one run. Wishard succeed
ell in picking out the best shoots
Brash gave him, and proved the best
batter on the Punahou team.
Bill Hitchcock again twirled for
the Puns, and pitched fine game
Throughout, holding down the Highs
hard hitting batters. He had fine
control and speed which lasted for
the entire twelve innings. Hitchcock's
score for the game is thirteen strike
outs, walked three and allowed only
three hits. The chief point about his
playing Is his GOODNESS and sureness.
At the crucial points of the game he
did not go up in the air or lose his
head on the base plays. Hitchcock
played an errorless and faultless
game. He sized up his men quickly
and gave them the kind of balls they
could not hit.

team.
Wishard, on third base. comes next
in the line of individual stars on the
Punahou team. He stopped the hot
ones and shot them to first for some
very pretty outs. Wishard also made
the batting record of the day Second
base was as well covered by Wui,
however, as third was by Wishard.
In the last few games Wui has not

at the beginning of the series, but
yesterday his playing was of the best.

was backed up by a strong infield
and outfield which played a very i'm
portant part in the game. Isami, who
caught for Brash, was one of the
star men on the team and played an
errorless game. Rosehill again did
his good work at first base and play
ed even better yesterday than he has
been playing this season. Every po-
sition of the High School team was
well covered and although it was due

one of the two runs made during the
game, the general run of the playing
was faultless.
