KAMEHAMEHA too
MUCH FOR
MILLS
First Game of InterScholaStic
Series Is One Sided
Affair

Yesterday afternoon between show
ers, the first game Of the interscho-
Iastic baseball series was played be-
tween Kamehameha and Mills, on the
lower field, Punahou. After eight and
one-half innings of one-sided playing,
the game ended with Kamehameha
far in the lead with % runs against
Mills 5. The game was Kamehame-
has from, start to finish, and al
though there was some good playing
by the Mills boys, It was too scatter
ed and far between to count. The
rain, which came In intermittent
showers, did much to spoil the game,
aud II was probably due to 1t in a
large measure that the contest was
such a walk-away for Kamehameha
The Liquid sunshine" however, fail
ed to keep away the spectators, and
q large number of supporters of both
teams lined the field and kept up a
steady fire OF encouragement at the
players
For the first game of the season, the
enc yesterday was quite a disappoint-
ment to the student fans. Kameha-
meha was known TO be strong, but
II was also said that Mills had q team
that would be match for any other
team In the league. Yesterdays
game is going to alter the good opip
ion that many had concerning the
Mills nine However, the defeat was
not entirely due to poor playing and
better results may be expected from
Mills In the next game.
Kan Strong.
The Kamehameha boys played a
splendid game and no fault can be
found with the team. Bush was first
pitcher for Kan, and with his splen-
did control and variety of stuff on
the ball, the Mills swatters rarely
connected at all. In the fifth inning
Bush changed places with Opunui, |
who kept up the good work Bush had
begun. Opunui has extraordinary |
speed and also good control, and his !
delivery fooled the best Mills batters |
Correa, second baseman for part of
the game, was undoubtedly the star |
player on the Kan team. His playing |
would have been called grandstand IL |
Il had not been so natural and un- !
studied. The score was as follows:
r. H. Z. |
Kamehameha ...........22 10 81
Mills ..4........... s 3 81
Haine umpired the game and sew
eral times decisions of his were con-
tested by one side or the other.
The teams lined up as follows:
Kamehameha: Bush and Opunui,
pitchers; Hussy. catcher; Koani. first
base Opunui and Correa, secondf
base; Malanaui, third base; Kaiei-l
ALL. short stop: Waiale, right field;
Monoha, center field; Correa and
Bush. left field.
Mills: Kono and Lee, pitchers; Nil
yamoto, catcher; Yoshiga. first base;
Lee and Kono, second base; Takeu-
chi, third base; Nakamura, short slip; !
Loo San, right field; Watase, center
field; Yamashiro, left field.
Good Game Coming.
Though the first game Of the series
was disappointment, the next ones
VIII probably make up for it. On Sat-
urlay afternoon q double header will
be played and both games give prom
ise Of being stiff fights from begin
ming to end. Punahou goes, up i
against st. Louis, and Mckinley will
try her luck with Kamehameha. All
four Of the teams are supposed to be
better than the average. and Kameha-
meha has already shown its class.
The High school. however, might
make Khmehameha tell another story,
and whether 1t does or not. the game
should be a good one. Punahou is es-
pecially strong in baseball this year.
and is picked by some as being in the
line to win the handsome cup offered
by z. o. Hall & Son for the winner of
the interscholastic series. ST. Louis
also has a good team, IL anything can
be judged from the results of the in
ter-elass games. Thus, with four
good teams, the games on Saturday
should lack nothing for interest and
excitement II is probable that both
games will be played at. Punahou.
though nothing certain has been stat
ed regarding the game between Kan
and the High school The students
of the four schools are counting on
turning out in force to support their
teams. A lively afternoon is expect
ed.
