Eight straight victories in the Maui
league give to Haiku the right to play
in the championship series, provided
of course, that a series will be neces-
sary. The post season champs are
quite likely to repeat their past per-
Torrance in the second series and by
doing so will be the undisputed cham
pion of Maui.

the Chinese team fell on fiat ground
though the cosmopolitans batted every
inch of the way.

Had Manager Bill Engle started
Wicke in the box from the first il is

would have the game. Not one

contest believe that Haiku's sluggers

livery in hat fatal third inning as
they did on Phil Haake. Phil was 60
ing good up to that time but then,
alack, a deluge of hits, two errors,
and oddles and coolies of that Haiku
confidence slipped six runners across
the rubber.
A rally in the ninth by the Man
darins and a timely error by Jones in
right garden registered four runs but
was two shy of a tieing score.
