LAST SUNDAYS
BASEBALL GAMES

Koloa on the KolOa grounds last
Sunday was a rather ragged eX-
hibitiOn of the national pastime.
Lihue. thinking they already
had the game cinched before il
started, played in haphazard
way, diSregarding signals. team.
work and everything else that
goes to make good baseball. with
the result that Koloa gave them Il
big run for their money.
The bad grounds were. of
course, responsible for number
of the errors that were made. but
the lack of life and pep displayed
cannot be laid to the grounds.
Tuxura, at short, again brought
himself into the limelight by pull
ing several bone head plays. This
young lad did some good work in
the first series, but it evidently
went to his head, as his play now
is of the grandstand variety with
a consequent batch of errors ev-
cry game. He should be replaced
by a player that is not quite so
fancy. Amaral in left, made sev-
eral costly mufls. These posi-
tions must be strengthened if Ii
hue wants Il chance at the cup.
Koloa, though a weaker team
than Lihue, really put up the bet
ter game, owing to their familiar
ity with the grounds, sand if they
had had good pitcher, the final
results would have been different.
AS it was, Lihue found Morton
in the third inning and hammer.
ed him for seven runs.
koloa came back in their half
OF the third with two runs. and.
after handing Lihue a goose egg
In the first of the fourth. annexed
another run in their half.
Llhue put another man across
III the fifth. In Koloa'S half of
the fifth, Lihue made balloon as
Sension and by the time they came
to earth. Koloa had gathered a
choice collection of four perfect
~ good runs. However. Lihue
came back with two i'm the sixth
and shut Koloa out.
Lihue drew goose eggs in the
seventh and eighth, while Koloa
collected one more run in the
eighth. The Sccre was now ter
to eight in favor Of Lihue.
In the ninth Lihue got three
men on bases. but only got one of
them home. Koloa came up de.
termlned to at least tie the score.
Souza, the first man up, lined out
a pretty single, and went to sec
ond ON the next pitch. Alameda
grounded out second to first.
Apeon grounded out third To
first. kuhlman went to first on
a wild pitch and Souza came
home. Kondo got to first on er-
ror at third. Two out with men
on second and third Costa tried
his best to bring home the bacon,
but Okuda mesmeriZed him and
he could not connect. Score 40.

The big game was the one be
tween Makee and McBryde at
tleele. People from all parts of
the island were there. If McBrvde
won. they would have a cinch on
the second series; if Makec won it
would leave McBryde, Lihue and
Makee tied for first place.
1t was not an air-tight game bv
any means. The eighth inning
found the teams tied eight ali.
Then is when the fireworks com
menced. After the smoke of battle
had cleared away it was found
thatMakee had added five more
runs to their eight, while McBryde
only captured one.
hdl0hcO I, UdkdWeH :
An interesting game was the
one played by Kalaheo and Maka-
well at the Makaweli grounds.
These two teams are tied for
fourth place, both having won one
and lost two, so there naturally
was more than the usual amount
of interest displayed, Makaweli
tried hard but were unable TO
overcome the doughty Portuguese.
Big came Nert Sunday
Next Sundays games will end
the second series. The big scrap
will be between Lihue and Nc
Bryde at Lihue Park. These two
teams with Makee, are tied for
