By winning both Saturdays and
Sundays games from the Waikiki base
ball team, as well as the first game
in New Years day, the All-Maui aggre-
cation left the visitors with nothing
to take home but the knowledge that
they had put up a stout fight and that
their Maui opponents did not win by
any walk-over.
AS a matter of fact luck played a
good part in all of the games, and was
against the Honolulu boys. None of
the three games but might have turn
ed the other way by slight change of
fortune.
Sensational Game
But Sundays game was the big
struggle of the series. 1t was a 10
inning affair, and was sensational in
extreme. 1t was hard on pitchers, and
called for three Maui twirlers and
two of the Honolulu. 1t seemed all
but won by the Waikikis up to the
18th inning.
Indeed up to the fifth inning the
game stood s to 0 in favor of the
visitors. In this inning Maui succeed
ed in putting one man across the
plate, and in the 9th squeezed two
more over.
But in the 7th things happened fast.
South, who had been pitching pretty
good ball, went to pieces. The locals
hit him all over the place, scoring 2
home runs, and a total of runs in the
one inning.
This tied the score. In the Sth
Manager Mckenzie took South out
and put Tilley in the box, and things
steadied down a bit. The score stood
tied through the Sth, and in the 9th
it remained tied though each side
made a run, making the score 9 to 8.
In the second half of the 10th Bal
slammed out a home run and the game
was over.
On Maui's side of the ledger Wicke
gave the visitors 5 hits from which
they gained 8 runs. Bal was then put
in for n innings, but it was his day
off too, as far as pitching went. He
gave 7 hits and 5 runs in that one in
ming, and so he came out.
Foster Robinson finished the game
with but one hit against him, and only
n run scored.
Masaichi behind the plate for the
locals did some good work, as did Sam
mon for the visitors.
The Sunday game was witnessed by
the biggest crowd of the series and
aroused wild excitement. During the
game Honolulu scored one home run,
while Maui totaled three home runs.
Saturdays Game Hard Played
Saturdays game was a real game,
Maui winning by score of 3 to O.. It
was played on the Kahului diamond,
and was only fairly well attended.
The batteries we're
All-Maui: Robinson, Masaichi.
Waikikis: Tilley, Sammon.
In this game Tilley held the locals
down to 4 hits, while Robinson allow
ed but 4 hits and they failed to score.
AS before stated, the Waikikis play
ed very nearly as good ball as the
locals throughout the series. For this
reason there was plenty of interest in
every game, Also the games were
satisfactory from the fact that both
sides showed good craftsmanship,
there being no unpleasant incidents to
remember. The Waikikis won the
Maui fans by the way they played and
took their medicine. Their playing
was clean and their actions on and off
of the field were just as commendable.
If they didn't win the games they
won the wholehearted admiration and
respect of the Maui people.
