Game at Paia
Before the greatest crowd that ever
saw a game up-country the Haikus
and Liberty House battled for II in
nings Saturday afternoon in a game
that abOunded with hits, hard plays
and contained a number of "ifs." One
of those ifs was the not touching of
third by a Haiku player who romped
home. Had he touched third the vic
tory would have gone to Haiku. And
if Low had not made a timely home
run, then again Haiku would have
won. Errors, too, counted in the re-
suit. but when all is said there has
never been an up-country game that
has created so much excitement and
interest as did that of Saturday.
Apparently beaten, Liberty House
came up from behind and took the
game from the fire in the seventh and
eighth innings, pocketing it in the
10Th by a score of SO. The home
team had to use three slabsters and
Liberty House two, trotting out its
strongest pitcher to gain its win. 1t
was a heart breaking game to lose
and the best of sportsmanship was
shown on both sides.
Big Sunday Crowd
Sundays games were played before
the largest crowd eel gathered in the
Fair Grounds for baseball alone and
the sport that was served up was OF
the kind that has made baseball the
national game. The two games were
hard played from start to finish, in
doubt most of the way through and
kept the spectators in the grand stan
on the keen edges of excitement and
expectancy.
In large numbers the Japanese com
munity was out to see the Asahis meet
the Liberty House nine. And how they
did root! They were for the home
team from beginning to end. All
through the game, for that matter
there was "livelier roofing than usually
seen or heard on Maui where the fans
seldom really let themselves out.
Those who judged that the defeat
of Haiku by the Liberty House would
be a walk away for the visitors had
agreeable surprises, for the Asahis
put up a fine tussle and for a time
looked like winners.
Asahi-Liberty House
In the opening frame the home team
was retired in order but the visitors
got Fernandez to third on a pass and
two sacrifices but he was left when
Benham was out third to first.
In the second Matsumoto got a life

But in the third the Asahis put on
steam and took the lead. With one
down the Japanese found the ball and
hit it hard. Singles by Hirai, Yanagi,
Yamatsu and Watanabe scored two

In the fourth the visitors evened
things up. After Benham had been

which went through left field, the bat

when Iwata died at first.
Two more runs came across for Ii
berty House in the fifth. Yuen walked

when the latter beat out a bunt. Yue1

ners scored on Yim's hit, the last
named being caught at third.
At the opening of the sixth the home
team evened the score. Nakamura
