L|HUE STILL LEADS
Makes RUNNER-UP
Lihue 16, Makaweli 7

Lihue 16, Makaweli
Sixteen to seven does not sound very
thrilling for a baseball game. Yet
there were quite a few thrillers scat
tered throughout the game; the most
conspicuous one being the bonehead
play of the season pulled by Prioste.
1t happened in the fifth inning Maka-
well was at bat and had the bases full.
The next batter up got hit rounded
first and went to second, while the
Prioste, on first for Lihue, claimed the
last man had not touched first, so he
walks over to the pitcher, takes the
ball and strides majestically back to
first (without looking back. By the
time he reached his position the two
remaining runners had scored.
Lihue landed on Furtado at the
start and hammered him numerically
throughout the game, with numerous
two-baggers, and home run by Pri-
oste, in which the man of big feet
actually made the circuit.
The work of Lihue's outfield was a
feature of the day. They simply ate
'em alive, from any distance, height or
angle.
Mitzu, Lihue's shortstop, made a
difficult catch that drew applause
from the fans. A fly ball came his
way. He saw he could not get under
it if he ran backward facing the ball,
so he turned and ran with the ball,
making the catch with the sphere fall
ing into his nit from over his shoulder.
1t is one of the most difficult catches
known to baseball, and is seen about
once in blue moon.
Six times at bat and four runs, two
of which were two-baggers is the rec
ord of Manuel Perreira, center fielder
for Lihue. Watase, Makaweli's crack
little centerfielder, was five times at
bat and brought in three runs. Tank,
Lihues catcher was six times at bat
and brought in three runs. Carvalho,
right field for Lihue, was five times at
bat and made two runs. Okuda, Prioste
and Dol of Lihue, were up six times
each and brought in two runs each.
Pedro, catcher, Burgess, at third,
and Watase at center, for Makaweli
all played fine ball, and kept their
heads at all times.
Musaro, scorekeeper for Lihue, has
a siege of boils and was not able to be
present at this game, and as no com
plete score was kept, we are unable to
give the score by innings.
Makee 9, McBryde 8
With the runner-up position at stake
the McBrydes were again defeated by
the Makees on the latter's grounds on
Sunday to the tune of to 3. One OF
the largest crowds that ever witnessed
a baseball game on the local diamond
was present, and automobiles sur
rounded the field as far as parking
space permitted.
The Makees certainly have the Mo
Brydes number safely hidden away
every time the two teams meet. Cap
tain Henderson's men would play
rings around the Makawelis, and Ki
laueas, and make the Lihues extend
themselves to beat them, but wher
the Makee clan makes its appearance
they seem to forget themselves and lei
the Kapaa boys score almost at will
Pitcher Wramp, the elongated fling
er, who is the one best bet of the Nc
Brydes this year, lasted only two in
nings. being yanked in the third, after
five runs had been scored off his de
livery. Robello was called in to stor
the rally and allowed four runs during
the last six innings.
The Makees started their dark horse
pitcher, "Sunburn" Cummings, who
had been held in reserve since the be
ginning Of the season, and he made
good with a vengeance. Although g
trifle wild at times, he pitched great
game, allowing only two singles, but
unfortunately, these two hits were
made each time with man on third
McBrydes runs came in the first anc
last innings, as "Sunburn" was unhit
table for seven innings in succession
Aside from the excellent pitching
of Cummings, terrific hitting by the
winners featured the fray. Hoopii Sc
cured two doubles and single, ant
Bun Hee was a close second with two
singles and a double.
The Makees started their scoring il
the second stanza. Hoopiis single, fol
lowed by Soong's double, fielderi
choice and boot by Andrade in righ
brought in three runs A single by Bui
Hee, followed by Spalding's error
Hoopii's double and a couple of infielt
grounders let in another four runs il
