OAHU COLLEGE, April 13.-
The baseball season at Punahou
Academy was formally inaugnrated
yesterday afternoon. Two gan s of
the interclass series we're played: the
Sophomores defeated he junior AZ:
the Seniors defeated the Freshmen
80
In the Junior-Sophomore game the
batteries-Kula and Hitchcock for the
Juniors and Pekelo and Wadsworth
for the Sophomores-were about even
" matched. 1t is quite likely that
Pekelo will pitch good bali little
later In the season, when he has
gained control He unfortunately
walked three men and hit one man.
Wadsworth caught well, and Peterson
and Correa played well at first and
second sacks. Both these fellows are
promising infield material.
For the Juniors Sakamoto played
his usually reliable grade of baseball,
twice cutting on what looked to be
hits. Neither team showed any con-
siderable ability at bat.
Exciting Battle.
The Senior-Tresaman game was
more exciting. The Seniors jumped
upon the unsnspecting Freshmen be-
fore these green men could get hold
OF themselves, and put two runs
across in the third inning Herbert
Baldwin pitched for the Seniors and
his work was decidedly ahead of tLat
of the other pitchers OF any class.
When he learns to take more time in
his delivery and to be more careful
with each ball he throws, he is sure
to be a valuable man. Wakefield
played a steady game behind the
plate, though he was unlucky In drop
ping high fouls.
The Freshmen ran along slowly,
getting only three men on bases until
the fifth inning, when they took a
brace. The first man up was Harold
Harvey. He walked and Pogue fol-
lowed at bat, meeting the ball for a
wallop that advanced Harvey to third,
but barely failed to get Pogue safely
to first. LINDSAY went out, pitcher to
first base, but he was followed by
Clarence Baldwin who get hit, scor-
ing Harvey. Baldwin then stole Sec
ond. and when Yen Lum came across
with a two-bagger. Baldwin scored.
With Yen Lum on second and
chance to tie the score, Kwan Chew
Lung famed, making the third out
Score: Seniors 3, Freshmen 2.
Officers Elected.
At meeting held yesterday morn
ing the following men were elected
captains of their respective class
teams: For the Seniors, George Brom-
ley; for the Juniors, John Sakamoto;
for the Sophomores, Fred Peterson:
for the Freshmen, Clarence Baldwin.
It is hard to predict the winner at
this stage of the game. It looks as
If the Seniors and Sophomores were
a trifle the stronger aggregations,
with the odds in favor of the Seniors.
But though the winning Of the class
is of great interest,
there are two other very desirable
features in this series: large num-
Der of men are getting good start in
spring practise, and it is a good oppor-,
unity to look over the material avail |
able in the school,
