But THREE B|NdLES OFF LESLIE:
COLTS SET BACK THE KAMS

The smallest crowd of the season
wendell their way to the stand and
bleechers on Saturday to see the two
fast games of ball passed out by the
local ball artists. All who did have
1.-The luck to purchase pastbOards GER
Itainly got run for their mazuma and
they for once departed feeling as
though the matinee was a success from
Ievery angle. The merry anvil chorus
did not resound over these games. The
boys played ball and the fans appre-
ciated it.
The surprise of the day was the
drubbing that the Saints received at
the hands of the Diamonds. Again the
question is asked: Where Is that lad
| who says chat the Diamond Heads are
worse than the Males? Why, this
,eam is playing the best ball in the
| League today They are in the game
all the way and are out to win. They
are lacing the ball for keeps and bat
ting is a very essential department of
the game.
Three measly bingles were the best
hat the heavy hitting Saints could do
off Clown Leslie. Such famous stick
ers as Jim Williams, "Akoni' Louis
and John Aylett were sent to the bench
by the strike-out route by this curve
merchant. He had slants Saturday
that kept the leaders guessing and be
bind him were eight lads who had
their fielding toys on and Scorer Cut
! ting saws that they played through the
whole nine innings without a slip
Ipretty good business for pickup
| team.
With the exception of Bushnell the
Saints had out their fastest aggrega-
ton of leather chasers and they were
out to win. Their fielding record was
also clean, but they could not hit and
it was hits that won. Paul Burns oc-
rupied the hill for the Saints and he
was found for just eight bingos.
Darcy started things going for the
Youngsters when, with Ed Fernandez
perched on second, he ripped off a
| Texas Lacquer to the centerfield fence,
! this sousing liner scoring Fernandez
touching first on his races around the
paths and was very properly called out
| by imp. Bowers.
Evers scored the first and only run
! for his team in the second part of the
| first by coming home on IA passed ball
| The run was not earned and the Dia-
monds have the satisfaction of this to
their credit Leslie showed his only
weakness in this spasm and allowed
1t pl
mot costly.
Encouraged by Leslie's good box
work the Diamonds played well at the
bat With Brother Sam and Meyer on
bases Bill Chill hit safely to center and
Sam came to the pan with the second
run. Meyer had a good chance to score
on the same hit, but would not take
the chance.
Burns was kind to Ed Fernandez in
the fifth and allowed the latter to
stroll 1t was costly gift, as ED stole
second and then came home on Sam
Davis poke. This ended the run get
ting in this good game of baseball and
work as they would the Saints could
not push runners around the four
cushions and they had to be content
with their one little run and eight
eggs. @
This puts the Diamonds one above
The kams, and to the surprise of all
they will finish the first series third
instead of last. If the Diamonds con-
tinue to come as they have they viii
be away up in the second series.
Scorer Cutting caught the game as
follows:
