Text	The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Aug. 31, 1867, ran a box score on what may be the first reported baseball match in Hawaii, between the Pacific and Pioneer Clubs. The players for the Pacifics included three non-Anglo names: J. Nakookoo, 2b; J. Naona, ss; and G. Laanai, rf. The Pacifics won the game 11-9. Now, baseball had been played at the famed Punahou School for years and that school included pupils from prominent Polynesian-Hawaiian and Anglo-Hawaiian families. The same issue of the newspaper included a report on the formation of a "pure Hawaiian" (presumably Polynesian-Hawaiian) team: A new base ball club will soon be organized, to be composed entirely of pure Hawaiians.... The Pioneers and Pacifics [the 2 existing clubs, which played in the game above] will have to look out for their laurels." Oberlin College in 1865 had a black player on their club. This might be the first club integrated with Asians.
