SAILORS BEATEN
IN FAST GAMES
Reuter-, Star Player of Day,
Striking Out Nineteen
Opponents.

Two good games of ball were wit
messed yesterday afternoon at the
baseball grounds by between 100 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 khe st. Louis team defeating
the Pennsylvania men by a score of
81, and the Picked Team coming out
on top in it's contest against the
Maryland, with 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
it placed him in class by himself.
He made the only error of his side
himself, the men behind him playing
right UP 10 the mark Evers never
mad chance to show his speed, not
getting single put out or assist.
For the sailors McWhorter showed
up in the best of shape. He made the
only two~hits which were allowed by
Reuter- and converted one of these into
the lonely tally which was scored by
his side His fielding was perfection
and he showed himself to be a player
of bicb ISraa,,oo,, /
game, keeping hits well scattered as |
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 a pitched bali and his jaw was
broken. The doctors from two of the
cruisers We're 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
Bruins. With all three men out of the
game it will weaken the teams which
play today, but they should be able
to find good substitutes.
The two 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 Dagger. 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 were 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 |
bounced on Glowski for four runs. He
was retired from the box in favor OF 7
Higgins, who did much better and al
lowed only one more run to be added 7
to the score. The naval men MADE
their only score in the last inning and
had no chance of winning after the c
first two rounds were over. G
The way in which Captain Fernan- h
fiez and his men smashed liners and t
hard drives down at Chaplain Scott, o
ON third base. was a wonder. He ]
g&bbled up almost anything which d
came his way but it is safe to say 4
that he has a sore pair of hands today, I
as the result of the many smashes s
which came in his direction "
F, Brooks. in right field, put up star n

players of legitimate hits. Higgins h
only allowed two hits while he was S
in the box and played very nice il
