.MCBRYDE IN LEAD FOR FIRST SERIES GAMES
"We Have Won Every Game So Far And Expect to Strike
Colors to None" is the Motto of the team, and Judging
From Sundy's Game it's a Good One


If there are any who are yet
doubtful Of h e popularity of
baseball as a popular Sunday past
time, they are not among t h e
majority on Kauai, at lie a s L.
Thousands of enthusiastic a n S
gathered at the various league ball
grounds Sunday and were treated
to equally as good exhibitions of
the national sport as one can find in
any part of the United States. Per-
feet order prevailed on all tn e
grounds which is one of the chief
features of a successful ball game.
In Koloa, the local team went up
against the K. A. C's in an excel
dent game as is shown by the score
of 5 to 2, while in Makaweli, the
! score of a to 2 between the local
kcam and Lihue maroons, would
indicate that the best game of the
day was played here-if the scores
are taken as a criterion. At Nc
Bryde, on the Alexander f G d
where gathered the largest crowd
of enthusiastic fans ever seen there,
the game between the home team
and t the Kilauea 's-the 1912
champions fought from start
to finish with grim determination.
There were many who desired to
see the visitors trounce the locals
merely to make the per centage list
more on an even keel, but some
how the home team couldn' tor
at least didn't see it in this light
and played ball" in their usual
scientific II d efficient manner.
Neither pitcher allowed a walk,
nor did they do any great amount
of striking out, evidently desiring
to trust to their field support.
They apparently had tine situation
we'll in hand, for the support given
by the field was excellent, indeed.
There were runs, however, by the
home team which, had it not been
for w il d throws by Kilauea S
pitcher, could never have been
. made. However, there is little or
no room for criticism to be made.
J The BOYS did their part individual
ly and collectively and are deserv-
ing O highest praise for their
sports -man-like attitude during the
games-So different from past ex-
periences.
Al present, it appears that the
McBryde team has pretty tight
grip on the championship of the
first series. There is nothing ex-
cept an unusual streak of misfor-
tune, which can prevent them from
winning. They are good lot OF
scouts however, and if they con-
tinue to play the game as they
have so far, they certainly deserve
it. Nearly 60 automobiles were
lined up on the Alexander Field to
witness the game. The Kilauea
team was late in rea hing tn c
grounds, having had trouble with
their truck. However when they
had stretched their legs and got
busy, the fans quickly forgot the
wait they had endured before the
game.
The Kilauea- McBryde gam {
by innings was as follows:

Kilauea-Kerr swatted straight
shot to End, who passed the ball

his eagerness to connect with 2nd
