PUNAHOU SQUAD
wins FROM KAN
Team SATURDAY

The second really close and exciting
game Of the nterscholastic League Sc
ries was played on the Kan field Sat
urday, when Punahou defeated Ka-
mehameha 5 to 4.
The game was full of thrills, most
of which were caused by spectacular
plays, though several were due to
certain men blowing up" in the pinch
es. All m all it was the best exhibit
ton of baseball seen in the school
league this season, for st. Louis has
never really had to show what her
fast nine can do.
Punshou Hits Better.
The Buff and Blues were hitting
better Saturday; they netted six hits
against Kaikaka, who held st. Louis
down to one hit in their last game.
Sleepy Baldwin pithed excellent
ball to the tune of three hits. His sup
port was not Of the best at times.
when wild throws by Makikaa cost
runs, and three wild heaves by Saka-
motto in the sixth put Sleepy in
very tight holes. Wakefield, at right
field, made three sensational catches
in a very bad gale of wind. when an
error would have lost Punahou the
game.

Nelson Kau and Kong Tai Pong had
better not attend the next drill OF
Company NJ of the National Guard.
else there be trouble. This warning
is given as a result OF the game OF
baseball which was staged yesterday
afternoon at Athletic park In which
the Chinese team lowered the colors
OF the Filipino aggregation by a score
of to 2.
Nelson Kau was on the firing line
for the Chinese and allowed the Fill
pino organization but two hits, one a
double by Senior Planas, and single
by Let's Go" Marcial. The latter
scored the two runs made by the I'M
fortunates.
Battle Of Far East.
In the words Of the prophetic gen.
tleman who first penned words Of a
diamond contest: Twas lolapalu-
zer," and this was seconded by large
bleacher crowd, who cheered loud and
long as the two teams fought for the
finish. II was the best played game
OF the afternoon, and two we're staged.
King Lacerna was on the throne
for the Fills. and for seven perfectly
good cantos. the ermine robed star
was pitching good ball. and the score
was one all, which isn't bad score
in the last Of the seventh.
Fer three innings only nine men on
each side reached the initial sack,
which denotes fairly fast ball. And q
coincidence that does not happen very
often occurred In this space Of time.
Five men reached first base safely.
and everyone was put out on the
bases Lum singled In the second, but
Ortiz made a beautiful throw and
nailed him at second.
Mathematics Wrong.
Tan 10 and Bun were both safe in
the third, but both were caught off
the base. BatoRg and Ramos were
out stealing Chinese scored in the
fifth on hits by Lum and Kau and q
passed ball. In the sixth the Fills
tied the score. when Marcial was
winged, and Planas hit a pretty dou.
BILE TO the left wall The Filipinos
should have had, two runs In this in
ming as MARQUEE received four balls,
but there was something wrong with
Capt. Stayton's adding machine and
Marquee didn't do any marking, as
after the arithmetical problem he
famed out. Capt. Stayton's error in
oral arithmetic proved to upset the
Fills and in the eighth Tan Los crew
started something
Lost Ball In Weeds.
Marcial let 60 all right when Fun
Luke hit to third In the eighth, and
then Lai singled Thereupon Pong
became a hero as he hammered one
Of Lacerna's hits to the left pasture.
The ball sailed into the shrubbery,
and after taking q thorough botanical
course Ortiz decided that he would
lose the hole. and the hit went for a
homer. The Fills scored one in the
eighth. but that was all.
Fast fielding plays featured the
day, and Pong's stop Of sure hit was
pretty piece OF work. Both teams
played close ball. and the -sur errors
against eight for the Seniors proved
that they were showing a good brand
OF ball. Lacerna did not pitch up to
his standard. but Reyes caught pref
ty game and pegged well to second
base. The next game between these
two teams should be interesting.
