LIGHTNING GAME

i
1 The AllMaui baseball team scored
the only victory to the credit of the
Valley Island in last Saturdays car
nival OF inter-island sport In celebra-
tion OF Maui's nnual harvest home.
The Punahou Athletic Club team was
forced to take the short end of $50
score after a contest that was hum
mer from start to finish.
The last event on the days pro-
gram, the ball game between Maui
and Punahou, was scheduled for
O'Clock at Wailuku. In spite of the
water-soaked field, the teams decided
to play. Here is where Maui had held
herself in reserve and was able to
Iput in q fresh team, with the excep-
ton of Captain Meyers at first The
Punahous had been in either the
swimming or tennis or both, but new
lertheless they played fast game.
The new field at Wailuku Is q dam
| dy and on a dry day the inffeld at
least looked to be as good as any in
the territory. The outfield Is fair.
though there Is q slope In right. Sat
urday, right field was badly cut up by
autos, making fielding Of ground balls
more or less chances.
Maui had the best OF the baseball
luck, but who begrudges the home
team this on their home diamond, and
purely home holiday? A sensation
al catch by the Maui left fielder Of
Hyman's terrific drive down the line,
which was good for homer. and the
doubling OF Henshaw at second was
the feature of the game. Four other
long drives, one by Inman and one
by Hitchcock. were pulled down in
big league fashion. Castle for Puma
hou threw out man at first on q
fast grounder to right field.
Francis Brown pitched a grand
game for Punahou. tanning seven and
allowing only few scattered hits un-
It'll the ninth when base on balls,
an error, and couple of Texas Leag-
Iuers proved his undoing. Proper sup
/ port would have given him shut out.
His four bases on balls were due to
the slippery ball and the difficulty Of
getting footing in the pitchers box.
| The Maui pitchers, Macaulay and
Meyers, did very well and were splen-
didly backed by their team. They
Tanned six between them, and though
hit hard at times, fast fielding kept
the hits scattered.
Play Exciting.
After Punahou had gone out in one,
two three order, Maui became dan
gerous In the first inning, two bases
on balls and an error filling the bases
with one down but Brown famed the
next two Punahou lost a chance to
SORE in the second with men on sec
ond and third with one down. but the
hits were not forth coming. Fast base
ball kept both sides from scoring un-
til the sixth when hit, a sacrifice,
an error, and throw Of Baldwin 10
catch the runner at second allowed
Brown to score from third.
Maui came back in the eighth on a
play which was inexcusable. With one
man down and man on first the bat
ter famed. Lyman purposely dropped
the ball, and E. Baldwin on first
thought he was forced and started for
second. Lyman made beautiful peg,
and Hitchcock had Baldwin by twenty
feet, but did not touch him. Both
Baldwin and Hitchcock walked on
the bag each under the impression
there was force. The Maui players,
however, got Baldwin back to second
before Hitchcock woke up. He scored
later on a hit.
In the ninth Punahou scored one
on single, steal, and Nowelps time
ly hit which drove Lyman across the
pan. When the first Maui batter
went out it looked bad for the Valley
Islanders, but Brown passed Meyers,
and a scratch hit put two men on
bases, Henshaw being unable to get
out of the mud to catch the pop, which
ordinarily would have been easy pick
ing. An out followed, but 1t was soon
Maui's turn to yell A hit went by
NOVEL; on second. who slipped in the
mud, and taking bad bound got by
Castle, scoring the tying run. A time
ly single over first base, foot inside
the line, which Castle just failed to
get settled the game, and made the
crowd of 500 go away very happy, for
they had succeeded in breaking even
with Oahu.
