The first, Punahoa, game mentioned was probably wicket. The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, March 29, 1860: "Sport--A wicket club has been organized among the young men of this city and the students of Punahou College. They will play their first game on the Esplanade Friday, at 4 p.m. ..." "makai" is a Hawaiian word for "sea-ward side". Brown was sheriff of Honolulu in 1860. Punahou School was founded in 1841.
