up to the fans yesterday was certainly
the variety that bears the red label.
That game between the Elks and Reds
was all that the sports claimed it was
| going to be. There was no time in
this game that the Elks had lead
pipe cinch and it took them the full
nine rounds to do the trick. Well, this
great game has come and gone and the
cranks will give it a place in baseball
| history that will never be forgotten.
In 1903 these two teams met for fierce
struggle and in this game honors went
to the H. A. C.'s. Yesterdays event
was just as Nthrilling and will be re-
membered just as long. By annexing
this game the Elks have a tight grip
on the first series and it will take some
gilt-edge playing to overtake them.
The Reds died game yesterday and
did all in their power to check the
upward stride of the Richardson herd
of Elks. Ramps mighty right wing
did the trick again and he kept the
Champs hits we'll apart. Things got
so warm for iron man Barney that he
shed his shoes early in the game.
The Elks were there with the ka-
huna in the shape of q purple hen Sc
lected from "Dooney' Hartman's
chicken ranch. "Dooney" declares that
he heard this hen crow and put it down
in the dope book that it was all up
with the Reds.
Manager Joe was again forced to sit
through nine spasms of agony and see
his high-priced youngsters get the
short end. That good luck has flown
and Bill Prestige will soon be cabling
to Frisco for new bunch If this
keeps pace on. The Rams played like
lot of Texas 'Leaguers. Just think,
they are now playing hit and run
game, using the bunt and signal work
to good advantage. There was time
when a man who would bunt in this
team was disgraced. They all learn in
time and now here comes the valua bic
point of team-hitting. This will get
more men over the paths for the Rams
than any hard smuggling could do.
Reuter- delivered the goods again yes
terday and many an aspiring Wasp
saw that speedy ball shoot over the
plate for the fatal call of three. In all
Reuter- struck out about thirteen men
and several times Jones dropped the
at first. Freitas who played artist for
the Males. pitched a fair game, but
lacked support by his fielders, who
made some costly errors.
The games yesterday put the Elks in
a good lead, with the Rams and Males
tied for second and the H A. C.s and
Punahous tied for last place.
KAMS MALES 2.
Kams take the field. En- Gee, the
first man up, met the first one square
on the nose for a pretty single. The
next man was Miller and he smote a
beaut. Things looked bright for the !
youths but only for a second. Reuter-
struck his gait and two Wasps
punctured the atmosphere, while En- +
Gee and Miller died on the sawdust.
In their half of the first the Rams
executed a neat little stunt This is
the way it happened. Desha hit
peach over second and stopped at first; /
Pahu was there with a bunt down the .
third base line and Desha made tracks
for back number three. Pimental woke
up when too late and fired a high one
over Captain Wright's head. Desha
scored Males flew out on dingles in
the second. Kekuewa was hit hard on
the head by a pitched ball, forcing
Lemon to take his place on the base
line. Wright made a pretty catch
about this period and retired the Kams.
1t was in the fourth that the Wasps
led the score and their hearts beat for
10y for right there they knew they had
4 chance. 1t was Bruins who crossed
