Lihue, Makee,
McBryde In Triple
Tie For First
MAKEEs NOSE OUT MAkAWELlS

MAkEES NOSE OUT MAkAWELIs
With their memories still fresh with
the defeat administered to them al
their last meeting, the Makee tribe
revenged themselves by taking a close
and interesting game from E. l.
Damkrogers pets at Kapaa on Sunday
by the score of 4-3.
Lihue rooters were there in large
numbers, all pulling for the Makawelis
to repeat, but the Makees, realizing
that a tie for first place honors de
pended upon this game, were not to
be denied. Although Makaweli's jnx
on the home team seemed to be still
alive when Morita in right field let in
two runs by dropping an easy fly, the
home team managed to overcome this
temporary setback by timely hitting,
and taking advantage of errors.
"Sunburn" Cummings was again on
the mound for the Makees, and he
acquitted himself very nicely. Only
four singles were secured off his de-
livery, and he was rather stingy when
hits meant runs. He walked one to
Furtados three, and made six batters
fan the ozone to five for his opponent.
Furtado allowed nine hits, five Of
which were for extra bases. The
heavy hitters of the day were Tsune-
hiro with a triple and double, Cum
mings with two doubles, and Hoopii
with triple.
Makaweli started the scoring right
in the first stanza. With one down
Burgess singled, advanced on an error
and infield grounder, and scored on
passed ball. The other two runs
came in the sixth. Watase was hit by
the pitcher and Burgess died on fly
to left field. Watase stole second
and advanced to third when Soong
made bad peg to second. Hamada
was hit by pitcher and Immediately
stole second. Anee famed, but Mori-
ia in right field dropped Kamaka's
fly, and two runs came in. Akira
famed, and the score then stood at
had no further chance to score after
this inning, as not a single player
managed to get to first during the last
three innings.
With the score at one to nothing
against them, the Makees came right
back in the last half of the first frame
and went the Makawelis one better
by timely hitting aided by a gift of
a free ticket from Furtado. King,
lead-off man, was passed and X. Hee
sacrificed him to second. Bun Hee
singled and King moved over to third.
Hoopii cracked one on the nose for a
three-bagger and two runners scored.
After Makaweli had taken the lead in
the sixth, the home team again came
back at them in their half and knotted
up the count Tsunehiro started the
inning by doubling to left and went
to third on Furtado's bad peg to catch
him mapping off second. Soong ground
ed to pitcher, and Tsunehiro died, at
the plate. Morita made up for his bad
error in the first half of this inning
by singing through the box, but Cum
mings famed the air thrice. With
one run needed to tie, a signal for the
hit and run play was given, and Soong
started off with the windup. Arcia
knocked a clean single over second
and Soong came in with the run that
tied the score. The winning run came
in the ninth when Tsunehiro opened
up with mighty three-bagger to !
right field which went clear over the
railroad track, and scored when Ha-
mada on first was unable to hold !
Morita's grounder with one down.
