seventh inning Of yesterdays game
between the Portuguese and the Ha-
walls, every sack having an occupant,
he tied up one OF the most interesting
games seen on the local lot for many
a day. And there have been some
good games of late, too. II was a
gladstone swat, good for three bases,
and when B. Joy came all the way
from first on II, going into the plate
o fraction In advance Of the throw,
the fans got up and howled.
Certainly no one can kick on the
class Of baseball that the pennant Sc
ries OF the Oahu league is providing.
For a while yesterday It looked as
though the Portuguese had all the
best OF the argument, but the afore-
mentioned clout OF Mr.. Dreier put an
entirely different complexion on the
game, and for the last two innings
the Paresa aggregation was distinctly
on the defensive, and had a close call
20 keep the game down TO b tie. The.
shades of eve had been pulled down
so far when the last man was out In
the last aaif of the ninth frame that
Umpire Stayton called the game on
account of darkness. and it's safe
bet that both sides were well satisfied,
with the even break The three-in.
I'VE series now stands with one win
for the Portuguese, and one tie game.
Truly q fitting start for a champion
ship event. "a
Not anxious 20 Play.
There were all sorts OF baseball in
yesterday's contest. To tell the
truth. there came very near being no
baseball az all, for the HawAiis were
loath TO play on the Athletic. park
diamond. which was more like a.
swamp than q baseball field, After
the Junior league opener had been
run on somehow, the managers and
captains of the Senior league con-
tenders held long pow-wow, which
finally resulted In the announcement
BY Umpire Sfayton that an exhibition
only would be played, not to count In
the champioship series, on accounts
OF the poor condition bf the ground.
This ARRANGEMENT was all wrong. for
II the diamond was At to play on at
al, 1t was nc for the game that the
fans had pai0 good money 70 see. The
crowd was not backward about vOic-
Ing its opinion. and within q few min
utes the managers decided to make
the best Of afbad JOB, and Etayt0ns an.

The doinfs commenced in the
fourth frame, when the Portuguese
chased one man across the rubber.
For the fret three innings both sides
went out In one.two-three order, and
then, In the first half OF the fourth,
Bushnell got life on q poorly thrown
ball from third. He stole second.
Ornelias sent up weak pop which
Franco collected, and Scott singled.
Ayau made poor peg to the plate,
the ball going to the stands, and
Bushnell romped home. Swinton
tanned and Scott was caught between
third and the plate.
Pitcher Chased on.
The FIFTH was q scrappy inning IN
the real sense OF the word. Alex
Desha, who had held the Portuguese
down to O pair OF safe ones and had
struck out four, began beefng about
the calls when pitching TO La Mere,
the first man up In the fifth. Umpire
Stayton held up q finger in warning
AFTER one outburst, but Desha paid
no attention, and when the next call
was ball, he dashed his glove to the
sod in dramatic fashion, and let out
q "Wkat!n that made the welkin
ring, whatever that means. 1t was
q very bushy play on Desha's part,
for anyone with half an eye could see
that the next kick meant the bench
for the pitcher. In fact, there were
many in the stands who though that
Desha had himself removed from the
game on purpose. At any rate. Stay
ton waved him TO the bench, and his
team mates saw to it that he was
hustled of the field when he threat
ened to make scene,

AT first Bill Williams started for the
box, but II was finally decided to have
Barney Joy finish the game, which
proved a wise move, although he got
off TO q rotten start In the sixth inn
ing.
Barney disposed Of the three, men
to face him in the fifth, but the sixth
was a nightmare for the Hawaiis.
Williamson, first up, beat out bunt
in clever style, and he went to second

Asam rushed over from third, and, re-
covering the pill. made wild throw
to second, Williamson going On tol
third. Bushnell was safe on the field
er,s choice that resulted in tagging
Williamson between third and the
plate, and went TO second on Ornel-
las, out to the first basernan, unassist-
ed. Scott was safe on a dropped
throw at first, Bushnell going to-
third. Scott stole second, and then he
and Bushnell pulled off what amount
ed to a double steal, the latter scor-
ing. A wild pitch brought Scott in
from third. At this time it looked as
though the Hawaiis we're awaiting for
fair. All this happened while Swinton
was at bat, and he finally got o hit,
after nearly breaking up the league
with lost balls over the fence and over
the stand. The next man up was an
easy out, and the agony was ended.
1t was in the last half Of the sew
