The first game was exciting and inter esting from Btart to finish, it being one of tho30 "won In the ninth" affairs. The Asahls scored three runs in the initial frame but the Stars camo right back and not only evened things up, but went into the lead by two runs. Their opponents again tied the score In the 5th and there was no scoring again until the first half of the ninth when the Stars managed to put over what looked like the winning run. Luck, however, was not with them, for the Asahis' catcher, with two strikes on him, two down and runners on second and third, cracked out a long single to center, thus ending one of the best games played in this series. In the second game, tho Hawaiis, winners of the Cellar Championship of the first series, and who were ex pected to repeat this performance in the second, surprised everybody by trouncing the Farmers badly. The heavy hitting of the Hawaiis coupled wit the inability of tho Farmers to hit the opposing pitcher caused the downfall of M. R. Aguiar's pets. Two new butcher shops are being rushed to completion in Kapaa. One is being erected by the Kapaa Meat Market and the other by a new con cern. In view of the expected com petition (there has been only one butcher shop in Kapaa for many years), residents here anticipate a slight reduction in the high cost of beef and pork. The new store of John F. Rapoza is already under construction, but owing to delay in getting material from Honolulu, Mr. Rapoza does not expect to De ready for business until the first part of February, 1920. The Hawaiian Canneries started their winter packing season last Sat urday, canning their first crop of pines from the new Moloaa section. A new cottage for Dr. Yanaglhara, of Kilauea, has just been completed, facing tho main road just beyond the office of the Hawaiian Canneries. It is a credit to this growing community. The local postoffice had an extremely busy timo on Saturday, Christmas packages mailed by the Kapaa teach ers to relatives on the Mainland mak ing up a largo proportion of the out going mall.
