IN FAST GAMES

(From Sundays Advertiser)
Two good games of ball were wit
messed yesterday afternoon at the
baseball grounds by between HOO and
1900 spectators. While the fielding did
not show up as well as it might have
on either side, the games were full
OF interest and everyone was well sat
isfied- The local teams won in both
contests, the St. Louis team defeating
the Pennsylvania men by a score of
81, and the Picked Team coming out
on top in its contest against the
Maryland, with a score 81.
The feature Of the day was the game
pitched by Reuter-. who appeared in
the box for the Saints, and was in
the finest Of trim. The struck out
nineteen men, in the nine innings.
gave four bases on balls and allowed
but two hits. His work was such that
il placed him in a class by himself
He made the only error of his side
himself. the men behind him playing
right up TO the mark. Evers never
had a chance TO show his speed, not
getting a single put out or assist.
For the sailors McWhorter showed
up in the best of shape. He made the
only TWO hits which We're allowed by
Reuter- and converted one of these into
the lonely tally which was scored by
his side His fielding was perfection
and Ee showed himself to be a player
OF high class. Freeman pitched a good
game. keeping hits well scattered as
a rule. If the team behind him had
played a clean game in the field there
would have been a small score.
The first game was full of casual
ties. all on the side of the Honolulu
players. Soares' accident was the
most serious. He was hit in the face
by q pitched ball and his jaw was
broken The doctors from two of the
cruisers were present and examined
him. and finding that the injury was
severe sent him downtown at once for
treatment.
The other accidents consisted in a
finger nail being torn off by Johnny
Williams and a dislocated thumb for
Bruins. With all three men out of the
game il will weaken the teams which
play today, hut they should be able
10 find good substitutes.
The ewo Williams boys were a tower
OF strength for the Saints. Johnny
never had a chance in the field but
made three hits when at the bat, one
OF which was a two bagger. Jimmy
took every chance that came his way
and made two base hits, both coming
at the most opportune times.
In the second game both teams made
five hits but the Picked Team punched
their bingles while Leslie came up to
the scratch when it was needed and
struck his men out one after another.
Each team made six errors, but the
local men We're strong when they were
in danger. while the Maryland boys
had hard luck.
The winning Of the game occurred
in the second inning when the local
pounced on GIowsi for four runs He
was retired from the box in favor Of
Higgins. who did much better and al
lowed only one more run TO be added
To the score. The naval men made
their only score in the last inning and
had no chance Of winning after the
first two rounds were over.
The way in which Captain Fernan-
dez and his men smashed liners and
hard drives down at Chaplain Scott,
on third base, was a wonder. He
gobbled up almost anything which
came his way but it is safe to say
that he has a sore pair Of hands today,
as the result Of the many smashes
which came in his direction.
Brooks. in right field, put up a star
fielding game. robbing several of the
players Of legitimate hits. Higgins
only allowed two hits while he was
in the box and played a very nice
game.
FIRST GAME.
Calderhead. the first man at the bat
struck out. McWhorter made a three
base hit TO right field, which nearly
hit the owl cigar sign, and came home
a minute later on passed ball. Mar
