For the first time since the opening
of the 1913 interscholastic baseball
season, Punahou has been defeated.
In a splendid diamond battle on Al
exander Field yesterday afternoon,
the Kamehameha nine defeated the
Oahu collegians by score Of to 2.
As a result, Kamehameha now ties
with Punahou for first place in the
championship race. and has an excel
lent chance to carry on first honors,
an the two teams mix once more be-
fore the season closes. The Punahou
aggregation has been playing big
league baseball since its first game
this year, and IL was expected that the
Kams would meet with defeat yester-
day, but they showed a marked supe-
riority to the Puns' best attempts, and
the game was all theirs after the fifth
frame.
