Asahis 5, Mauis 5. Twelve Innings.)
While thousands found recreation at
Kapiolani Park yesterday afternoon in
the closing day Of the Mid Pacific Car
nival. eight hundred and thirty-eight
of the people took in the ball game at
Athletic Park, and not one Of those
eight hundred and thirty-eight was dis.
appointed, for the contest the Asahis
and Mauis dishea up 20 those fans and
fannettes was the best ever.
For twelve innings the two teams
fought for the long end Of the score,
and when the ssnoae OF battle had
lifted, while the shades Of night were
long end Of that score to the tune Of
* to 2. t
From the time Chinito Moriyama
took his place in the tatter's box in
the opening round until English Of the
Mapis grounded out to T. Uyeno at
second for the Asahis, the game was
a pepper box. p.
Ii was the first clash of the two
teams in the Inter-Island series as well
as on the local diamond, and both were
anxious TO land the palm of victory.
Both teams played brilliant ball; in
fact, par excellent ball, and IL was a
contest well worth going miles TO see.
All told there were l22 chances offered
the various felders Of the two teams;
the Asahis missed one Of theirs, while
the Mauis missed two, which is truly
some fielding for any kind Of a ball
team, whether II belongs in the big
brush or in the little brush
OF the two PITCHERS, G. Moriyama was
a shade the best, and moreover he re!
ceived far more brilliant support than
did Foster Robinson. This does not
mean that Maui did not field well but
some of the plays Of the Asahis look ed
almost Impossible to make, and those
plays cut of base hits as well as runs.
One play in particular was enough to
dishearten any batsman.' for s. Uyeno,
eenterfelder Of the Asahis. picked up q
hnrd-hit single from the bat of Kama
in the ninth inning and by wonderful
peg nailed a man trying TO hotfoot
from first to second on the drive.
T. Uyeno Out on a Run.
Maui looked winner in the eleventh
inning, when Swan hit the rightfeld
fence with two-bagger and then
moved to third on neat sacrifice by
A, Robinson, after Meyer had struck
out. Kama. who had hit hard all day
drove one toward right with the speed
OF bullet, and ii looked like tho
game for the Mauis. T. Uyeno, though
laaped across the field, scooped the ball
and with great underhand throw
nailed Kama at first by hair.
This fielder did another great bit OF
fielding in the twelfth, when, with Dc
Rego at third and Bal at second, he
picked up q drive from gEnglish's bal
and nailed the runner at first.
Abe 8 team was the first to get on
the seorehoard. With Komeyo out al
