baseball series made their FINAL appear.

terday afternoon at Athletic Park and
up TO the beginning of the ninth in
ming looked like winners over the All
Service team by a score Of to 0.
In the ninth frame, though, Man.
ager O'Hara' Is bunch took kindly to
the offerings Of Kekoa and three hits,
three stolen bases and two unfortunate
errors were enough to change the de-
reat INTO victory for the soldier lads
by a score Of TO /.
II was another good game of ball and
while the crowd was not as big as was
anticipated owing TO the dying out Of
the Carnival spirit and to the fact that
the game was arranged in a hurry,
those present got great run for rhclf
money.
Both teams were out to win and the
unfortunate ending Of their previous
contest only stirred the men on to
greater efforts. Both Kekoa for Ha.
wall and Lawson for the All-Serviee
team pitched excellent ball; in fact,
the pitching exhibitions Of Kekoa and
Lawson was far above the average.
Lawson was the star and the man
ner in which he bOwled over the Ha-
wall hitters was marvellous, no less
than seventeen Of them going back to
the bench via the strikeout route.
Neither man issued pass to first
base and both folded their positions in
tip top style.
Hawaii First to Score.
Jack Easton's crew dented the plate
first, getting their first and only run in
the third inning. Brickwood opened
the round with drive toward second
base and when Williamson booted the
ball "Briek" was safe at the initial
sack. Swenson behind the bat for the
soldiers was bit slow in getting the
ball away after receiving the pitch
and the Hawaii's second saeker stole
second. When Swenson allowed one
to get away from him Brickwood went
to second. All Sun then bounced one
over Hixenbaugh s head and Brick
wood scored. ~
In the fourth and fifth Hawaii got
a man on the bases and likewise two in
the sixth, the first two men up, All
Sun and Spencer, getting singles. An.
other passed ball by Swenson allowed
both 70 advance base and Lawson was
confronted with man at third and an
other at second with none out. !" Hand

so fast was his speed, though, that
Swenson was unable to hold him and
he gave way to Swinton. This change
was good, tor Swinton held everything
men went out on strikes,
Lawson Continues Farming.
Lawson took the next three men up
| and famed them. Another in the eighth
brought his record to fourteen and then
three in the ninth in a row ran his to-
tai Of strikeouts for the day up to sew
enteen.
All this time Kekoa was pitching
great ball and while he was not striking
men out the soldiers were not hitting
and with the opening of the ninth he
looked TO have the All-Serviee outfit
buffaloed.

Hawaii in the ninth, with a liner u
