CHAMPIONS

The last and deciding game of the,
was played on Alexander Field yester-
day afternoon, and for the third time
in three years the junior class team
won the inter-class championship.
Yesterday the jnniors beat the seniors
by a narrow margin OF one run, hay-
ing scored five runs to the seniors
four.
b aHstfirst .fnning- WIS me only bad
frame of the game, all the rest Of the
contest being classy ball. Bill Hitch
cock pitched for the seniors in the
first inning, and the juniors found him
with ease. Four runs were made by
the juniors In this fatal spasm, and
only one after that "Aleck' Desha
took Hitchcock's place in the second
inning, and the juniors made but one
run off him.
Bill Inman pitched for the juniors,
and the seniors found 1t pretty hard to
connect with his speedy balls. This
was the second game this season that
Ihman pitched, and he did much bet
ter yesterday, finishing up the game in
good style. Harold Baldwin caught
Inman, and played splendid game,
Inman and Baldwin being by far the
strongest battery the junior team can
turn out. The runs on the JUNIOR team
were made by the following: Wui, l;
Sakai, q; Baldwin, 1; j. zap, l.
Sixth Is Seniors
The sixth inning was the lucky inn
ing for the seniors, they making three
runs. 1t is very probable that the
seniors would have won the game II
Desha had gone in for them at the
start, as Hitchcock has not had much
practice at pitching this season, and
therefore was rather easy to hit. In.
his position on third base, however, he
played fine game. The runs for tie
seniors were made by the following:
Schumann, L.; Wishard, /; Desha, l;
Low, 1.
The game was umpired by Mr.. Bur-
dick with g. Mott for score-keeper.
The lineup of the two teams was as
follows:
Juniors: Inman, pitcher; H. Bald
win, catcher; Fassoth, first base; Sa-
kai, second base; Wui, third base; A.
zap, shortstop; O'Dowda, right field;
]. Yap, center field; Hind, left field.
Seniors: Hitchcock and Desha,
pitchers; Schumann, catcher; E. Bald
win, first base; Low, second base; De-
sha and Hitchcock, third base; Wish
ard, shortstop; D. Baldwin, right field;
Liu, center field; Turner, left field.
Last Game Off
Now that the juniors have annexed
the championship, the seniors will not
play the game with the freshmen-so-
phomores which was scheduled for
Friday. For three years now, ever
since the custom of inter-elass games
was started, the juniors have taken
the championship, though always by
a. narrow margin. Every game but
one in the inter-class series this year
has been close Though the seniors
did lose the series, it was not due to
any poor playing. THe games were
clean, hard, fights for supremacy, and
the best team won. Both the seniors
and freshmen-sophomores lost with a
good spirit, and 3harbor no ill-feelings
towards the juniors.
The Punahou inter-scholastic team
will be chosen soon now, and practice
will then begin. Every school in the
league is turning out fine team this
year, which means that the team that
wins must play really good brand Of
ball. Punahou counts on winning, and
is making every preparation for the
series which opens in the near future.
