Game by Remark
able Playing.

Castle. the Honolulu ball player.
played horse with the Brown nine
yesterday on Soldiers Field and shut
them out without a hit, 1 to o. The
/ only run was made by Castle. and
the two hits credited to Harvard were
set down after his name. Although
several men reached first, only one got
to second, and he died there. Brown
was unable to touch the delivery OF
I Castle for a safe hit, but the remark
able work of the Harvard outfielders
saved Castle several times when it
seemed as if the Brown batters would
drop the ball in safe territory.
1t was one of the shortest games
played on Soldiers Field. In the first
four innings only 10 men faced Castle.
and in the entire game only 80 Brown
men marched to the plate.
Castle scored only four strike-outs
to the six of Nourse, but he gave no
bases on balls and he made not a.
single pitching error. He felded his
position well and but for one error
when he fumbled lifts sharp ground
er, his work was faultless. At the bat
he scored heavily, making all the hits
for his side. He reached first the third
time on an error by Jones. His first
hit was of the scratch variety In the
head of the batting order and laced
out pretty one over second base,
which Jones was unable to cover.
Harvey got to first on Elrod's error,
but was put out at second on Stephen
sons rap to Jones, who fieIded it to
King. With Stephenson on first and
Castle on third as a result of the two
plays Harvard tried the double steal.
Paine threw the ball to second and
Stephenson stepped between the
bases On the throw to Elrod the big
first baseman let it go through his
fingers and Castle started for home.
Elrod got the ball and felded IL home,
but Castle was there by three feet and
had scored the winning run for Har-
ward and won his own game. After
that Harvard got only one man past
first base and that was i'm the ninth,
when Castle got to second on Jones'
error of his grounder and Harvey's
base on balls.
The game throughout was marked
by sharp fielding on both teams Four
errors were carded against Harvard
and three against Brown. Currier be-
hind the bat for Harvard caught a
good game, though one error was
given to him.
On his first hit Castle broke his bat.
but after that there were no casual

bounding toward third. Castle was
after it like shot and fielded it to
first in time to get the runner. In the
third inning Rounds saved a hit by a
good running catch, getting the ball
ow with outstretched hands. Dexter
made a wonderful catch in the fifth
IF Nourse's fly to left, getting the ball
after a hard run, and received the
olaudits of the crowd. At short, Sim

second team, was put in at the begin
hing of the fourth. and made good.
Nourse for Brown was put i'm at the
asst minute to do the twirling and Tiff
