Punahons 8, oIympica 2.

Five runs were scored in the ball
game between the Punahous and Wing
ed o squad at the ball yard yesterday
afternoon, the former aggregation get
ting three Of them while the Olympics
gathered two. As runs win a bali game,
as the only Mike Kelly remarked, and
the hometowners had more than the Wis
itors, to them belongs the spells.
IL was not as thrilling q battle as
that of last Saturday nor that Of last
Sunday, there being too much missing
FIRE on the part Of nearly everybody in
the game. The pitchers were missing
them and SO were the swatsmen while
IL was q day Of missing also on the
part Of the umpires. Seven hits were
chalked up in the little book on the
part Of the umpires. Seven hits were
chalked up in the little book by the
man in the press box whose duty IL Il
to score ball game to the satisfaction
of twenty ball players and thousand
or more fans. Only one Of these seven
bingles was an honest to goodness swat
Judd is credited in the summary with a
two Dagger, gathered in the opening
round but IL looked as IL the ball was
in foul territory when IL fell gently to
earth. Joe Kennedy's two blows were
passable. "WopD Sadtler's hit was q
weak hunt down the third base line,
Bankers hit was very scratchy while
Elmer got his hit because the ball hit
Barker who was running from second 70
third base in the final round. Thus the
OILY clean blow Of the game was that
which left the bat Of Charley Freine in
the 9th inning.
Umpires Also Miss En-
The umpire behind the bat missed a
tcouple in the strikes and balls line and
to the greater majority Of the fans he
missed four from the bat of York
and by calling it a strike, allowed
I"Wop'' Sadtler a run. Lots of those
in the grandstand heard the ball and
bat clash and several Of the Punahou
boys called it foul but Captain Norris
was the boss of the field and what he
said went. Naturally the Olympics lie
ont long and loud yell and in a rush
we're on top of the umpire and treadinp
on his pet corns. Quick like lightning
Captain began to roll off the minutes
from his wrist watch which means ii
the men do not get back to work, the
game is forfeited. Before Sadtler goi
into the run column two men had beer
retired and while the argument wa,
going on the bah was whipped on Ly
man and he was out. AT this stage OF
the game Rudy j. Smythe informed
Captain that the side was out and he
put his watch away and Let the game
20 on. .s51 aeg@ s.#aB
