Little, Nushida, the Boy 'Wonder, had
the Punahou batters eating out of his
band yesterday afternoon at Mollifl
Fields and as a result McKinley de
feated the Buff and Blue team by
score of 8 to 4.
;For alx Innings the Boy Wonder-al
lowed but one single, and darin; tiat
time his sharp breaking :. curt at had
the Ptlnahou players walking back 'to
the bench.-- With the score 6 to 0 in
his faror. he Jet a the seTanthad
ninth innings and Punahotr scores
four rune. The little Asahi pitcher
,once more demonstrated why 'he has
"been called the Boy Wonder.

Punahou may yet show something to

McKinley Coached
McKinley was well coached, and
the players knew what to dp with the
ball when they' gat.it;: The' work of
Iwanaga In center was excellent and
Xaual. contributed to the good work
with ' some good catches. TBukiyama
and " Mlyahara also worked well
around' short and third.
Nushida was given a little the
worst ret the breaks on some of his
sharp a breaking curves, but on the
whole Stewart umpired a good game,
as did McClain. Both Baldwin and
Nushida had a lot of stuff on the ball
yesterday, and both suffered sooie-

counr of the many squabbles - which,
have happened in the basiballssriss ;
to date, and in Justice to the .Punahou .
ball playWs, their present co$ch and
the studnts ot the school, therattacks .
on Punahou appear to be unjust r ' .
Godfrey Bergman, who coached tt y
team up to the time that ,A1 .Cast,
took hold, is the man wno-nas neea
responsible for all of the 111 feeling
between the schools." St Louis. MiUa
and McKinley have all haTructlona
with the Punahou man,-and the its
denta of the schools lay it all on Berg
maan '"'
Players Not to Btame .
It is unfortunate that the Punahou
players should ' be included - in this
school fight as the boys are an .good,
clean players and have taken no part
in ths altercation on the field.-Bergman
Is the one- who has been respon
sible for the ill feeling, and the Puna
hou students And players should not
be included tt the mixupi. r. -
' Frank Mldklff has coached the Pun
ahou 'team for a number of -years,
and has kep friendly relation with
all-the other' schools . of the league.
The same may be ; sai(f- forA. L.
Castle,. -who ' has ' given - hia 'time to
coach the players, since Bergman
was retired a team coach. : ?
The-ruction' atarted first "with St

Mills ' game, when the ' protest : was
made, and then yesterday afternoon
at MoillilLwhen . Cbillingworth had
his troubles with the Punahou man.
During a!! these xuctions the' Puna
hou baseball players, have kept away
from arguments; and in Justice, to all
the boys who have performed in ath

for the actions of the ex-coaclt It is
