George Cummings introduced a
brand new major Lacquer to the fans
that gathered at the Kahului diamond
on Sunday afternoon but, like the
18th amendment to our constitution,
it just didn't take. Peter SouZa is
the gentleman in question, hailing
from Waikiki. But Peter had an off
day Sunday and as a star could be
placed in that category that the New
York Boxing Commis'h commands.
In the first canto Peter bungled
thrice and Haiku registered a big "9"
on the tally sheet. After the WaCs
had slipped a counter over in the
first part of the opening inning with
out a hit, Joe Souza, the Haiku short
stop reached first on his namesake's
error. Chartrand missed a bunt on
his third strike and ambled to the
bench. Then Peter erred again. Bill
Blaisdell another debut to the majors
reached second and Joe romped home
Robinson hit for the circuit and
brought Blaisdell in ahead of him.
Neil Blaisdell, who also made his
first appearance in the seniors on
Sunday but who has been going great
guns twirling in the East Maui
League, was the third player to pro
fit on Peters bungling but it came
to naught when Yamamoto lifted a
high one to left and Haole was re-
tired at first.
Its All over
The game might as well have been
called at that stage instead of worry
ing along for some two hours for the
Wacs at no time regained the lead
or threatened. Bal scored in the sec
ond on an error. wild pitch, and Il
passed ball.
George yanked Souza after the
Wacs had been retired and shifted
Wells from the mound to third and
placed Moniz in the box.
Singles by Souza, Chartrand, and
Robinson and errors by Freitas and
Waiwaiole sent three men home for
Haiku.
There was no further scoring done
until the Wacs were at bat in the
fifth. Silva opened the canto by sing
ling and pilfered second. All Sam
laid down a sacrifice and Silva scored
on Regos' hit to the infield.
A fast double play nipped a Haiku
rally in the same inning. Robinson
singled for the third time and Neil
Blaisdell doubled. Refs popped to
Moniz who doubled Foster at third.
Same Old Story
The ruckus meandered along as far
as the sixth frame and just about the
time the fans were wondering when
Rice's gang would break loose, it hap
pened. Base hits by Rolph (who had
replaced Keiki) and by Souza, Chart
rand, and Refs, aided by the bungles
of Rego and Waiwaiole allowed a
quartet of Rice Birds to tally.
The final counter came in the
eighth when Chartrand LEAD off with
a double and scored on the left field
ers muff of Blaisdells drive.
BlaisdelI TwirIs Fine
Neil Blaisdell who played his first
game in the major league Sunday
showed the fans some real pitching.
Blaisdell struck out thirteen men and
walked but three. Some comment
vas heard in the first inning that
the youngster was wild, but rather
than that, it was Yamamoto's inabili-
ty to hold the fast ball that Neil
delivers. Refs relieved Yamamoto at
the receiving end after one run had
scored in the second and little
trouble was had during the remainder
of the game.
The score;
