mond Heads by score of to /. The
champions of the senior league were in

start.
The Saints had for the most part
their old H. A. C. lineup, with the big
exception, of course, that Barney Joy
was no longer in the pitchers box.

and his twirling had a speed and va
riety about it that fully justified the
expectations of those that are expect
ing much from him. Barney Joy act
ed as catcher, and filled that position
to the governors taste. Two over
throws to bases We're his only misplays.

the Diamond Heads. but he had a more
experienced and better array of bat
tiers to handle than the Saints pitcher.
Even so, he closed the Saints out for
six innings without a run.
The fielding on both sides was ex-
cellent, and the game came very near
ly being errorless. Where all were
good it may seem invidious to make
special mention of any, but 10 On at
first was wonder, and he is also a
power at the bat. Evers at shortstop
showed fine judgment and quickness
in his playing, and Jas. Williams
seemed to be on hand for a remark

The sensational event of the after
Moons playing occurred in the ninth
innings when Jas. Williams knocked
three-bagger, Immediately followed by
En- Sue who sent the leather so far
and ran so fast that he made a home
run.

the satisfaction of the large crowd
who had gathered to watch it. Both
sides seemed to have an equal num-
Der of friends in the grand stand, and
each received its need of applause.
