KBRYDE TEAM wins FIRST Halt,
Of GARDEN ISLAND BALL SERIES

1t remained for last Sunday to give
the Garden Island baseball fans one
of the best exhibitions Of bali that has
been on tap this season when ten
inning game was played between the
Kilaueas and the Koloas with a score
OF 81 in favor OF Keica. This paper.
following the first game of the series,
predicted success for the Koloa team
and that it stands second at the end
of the first series, indicates how near
ly correct it was in its prophecy. Cir
win is an excellent leader, and the
team proved obedient followers. the
battery being Is karet, with feeders
|of the same kind.
The game at MakaweIi. between the
+. A. C.'s and the heme aggregation
was surprise, as the first, very natu-
rally created an assurance of ultimate
success. But the home team evinced
no alarm. evidently thinking that a
good beginning means a bad ending. =
AT any rate, such proved to be the
case, for when taps sounded. the
score stood 1876 in favor of the home
team. "A whole hat full of errors of
various kinds we're noted on both
sides, though not quite so much
among the home boys. The X. Al. e.
pitcher was swatted in all directions.
and his support was noticeably weak.
A fv from Wilcox to Kaneha conclnd-
ed the last act and the curtain
dropped on the stage upon which the
first series was ended Wilcox APP
peared to the best advantage of any
of the X. A. C.is,. having played his
part with marked precision. OF the
home team, if there was any one man
who deserves special mention it
would he Kruse. the new pitcher. He
is but Is years of age, but delivers a
ball with terrific force and with SPLEEN
did exactness. Despite the fact that
the game was -one-sided, it proved
highly interesting to throng of en-
thusiastic fans.
At McRryde the home team came
through with its boast that it would
win every game of the first series.
With an entirely new battery they
confronted the Lihue team and more
over, walloDed them to frazzIe, the
score being 1913 in favor of McBryde.
The visiting team didn't have look
in from start to finish, the short being
especially out OF form. The fact that
on this ground was to be the final
test for supremacy drew an immense
crowd of fans who were united in
praise for the McBryde team for its
excellent work and gentlemanly con-
duct during the closing series. In the
opinion OF wise-acres, Koloa will win
the second series championship.
General complaint is heard as to
the shortness of the baseball series,
the contention in each instance being
that time does not permit a fair test
Of the skill of the various teams.
There is another point to be consid-
cred also. one of no little importance
lone in fact which might be consid-.
erred of grave Importance since the,
success of the league depends so
largely upon il. This point has to
do with those who have rendered
financial aid to the league. They
have done so generously hoping to
see gnod ball season. However. the
season being half over. il appears to
the majority of them that the same
should be extended somewhat. The
granting az such extension will make
it less difficult to solicit finances for
next year. and II the directors of the
league can see their way clear to ac-
coed to the demand for a longer Sc
