| Description | The Polynesian, Honolulu, April 7, 1860: "Game of Ball. Quite an interesting game of ball came off yesterday afternoon on the Esplanade between the Punahoa Boys and the Town Boys... The boys of a larger growth, among whom were some of the leading merchants and their clerks, had a game of good old-fashioned base ball on Sheriff Brown's premises, makai..." 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 Punahoa 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. Punahoa School was founded in 1841. Many of Hawaii's leading families sent their children there. |
