Maui Baseball Teams Defeat Hilo Aggregation Win Three Games Out Of Four First Game A Joke Maui Boys Make Good In Balance CROWDS NOT UP TO EXPECTATION In the baseball series with the Hilo Japanese team, which was finished on. Tuesday of this week, the Maul teams demonstrated their ability as players and made a showing, of which Maui may well be proud. The first game which was played last Saturday afternoon between the Hilo J. A. C.s and the Maui II. A. C.s, was somewhat of a joke ,and ended with a score of 21 to 12 in favor of the visitors. There was no doubt but that the Hiloites were somewhat up set by the trip from Hilo. The local team for some reason or other failed to play to form and allowed the visit ors to scamper around the bases till they were practically worn out. The balance of the games, however, were a different story and the local boys made good, and Maui saw some base ball that was really worth while. From a financial standpoint the ser ies was very disappointing to the pro moters, who were left to make up a deficit of a considerable amount, in order to meet the expense of bring ing Hilo team to Wailuku. On no oc casion were the crowds up to expecta tions, which was no doubt due, in part at least, to the poor showing made In the initial game. The scores for the different games were as follows: Saturday, August 25th MauiH. A. C... 3 4 0 0 2 2 0 012 6 021 Hilo J. A. C. . . 6 2 0 3 Sunday, August 26th Maui J. A. C... 4 0 0 0 Hilo J. A.

The game from the very start seemed to be in favor of Oahu and it was only in the final period that Maul seemed to have the advantage. It was impossible that late in the game to make up the lead that the home team had secured in the earlier periods. From start to finish It was a game of speed and brought out some of the finest horse manship ever seen on the islands. The game was marked by no excep tional star playing but seemed to de pend entirely on who had the fastest horses and with this last in favor of the Oahus it was an uphill game, for Maui, from start to finish. The field was in exceptionally good shape and a crowd which practically tilled all parking space, the grand stand and the bleachers, cheered to the limit. If cheering would win a game it would have gone to Maui, as the latter was no doubt the favorite with the crowds. The Hawaiian band played between the periods.
