There is only one way TO describe
that eleventh inning at the basehc Il
| park yesteraay--it was joyous, hilar-
| ious swatfest. Five runs did the All.
| Hawaiis score, and four of them came
I from good, fat, healthy hits that left
no chance of doubt as to what was
meant. Burns started the ball rolling
by executing three-bagger which put
/ En- Sue and Eddie Fernandez home
and then Barney JOY, Jealous of any
aspersions on his title MS The nouparr;l
/ hitter, handed out home.run which
/ also brought Burns in ahead of him.
After that Hampton, who was running
! for Vannatta, romped in on Leslie s
safety
1t was sad time for the sailor lads.
The locals batted out three in the first,
and it was not till the fifth that this
! was tied by Leslie allowing Fort in
and McKernan coming round with two
men out.
i Everybody thought that the sailors
had another run in the eighth, for
Pitcher Seegar was headed hard for
home when the ball came to Barney.
Barney had taken Davis place behind
] the bat, and the big boy reached for
the ball and dropped it. Seegar slid,
! and it was very fine point as to
! whether he was safe or not. Any way,
the umpire gave it against him, and
the bleachers evidenced disapproval. In
the ninth and tenth Seegar held the
Hawaiians down very carefully, but he
must have passed a hoodoo on his way
to the box for the eleventh. for those
balls literally found the bat and went
winging far away to the fence where
there was nobody to catch them.
4 The Milwaukee boys played very
good baseball. Their team work was
very classy at times, and during the
fifth, sixth and seventh innings, par
ticularly, they played together in
splendid shape.
The first game, between the Keios
and Diamond Heads, was rather
ragged affair, and there were unpleas-
ant signs of ill feeling at certain stages
of the game. In the fourth inning
Eddie Fernandez was at the bat, with
Joe of the same ilk on third and Olmos
at second He made a really brilliant
hit along the line towards third base.
The ball hit the ground just inside the
line and close to the bag. After it had
passed third base it went outside the
line, and it was going hard, too. Both
Joe and Olmos ran in and Eddie went
to second. Albright gave it b fair ball
and allowed the two runs Then there
was howl from the Japanese in the
grandstand and bleachers. Excitable
little men ran around gesticulating
wildly, Rnd one, who seemed to be u
man of authority, waved vigorously at
the bleachers and melted his little
brown brothers to further noise.
All this demonstration had the de-
sired effect on the players and they
began to sulk. They walked in, and
for a time it looked as though they
would refuse to play on, but sane adj
vice prevailed, and the game continued.
The Nipponese looked like winners
in the first inning, for they scored
three runs in that period. Unfortunate
ly, the runs were due not so much to
hard hitting by the Keios as to errors
by the other side. There were two
walked bases and galaxy Of errors to
the debit of Will Chillingworth and
some of the fielders.
The weather was ideal for baseball,
Nthe sun shone brightly, the wind was
just enough to keep the bleachers cool,
and there was only the merest threat
of rain to remind everybody it was
time to go home in the tenth inning of
the second game. The bleachers were
all well crowded with sailors, and the
Keios had host of their countrymen
to root for them.
There was an unfortunate duet of
accidents in the sixth of the second
game, both Fort and Davis being hit
on the ear by the ball. Fort stayed
at his post, but Davis was forced to
retire, as he was bleeding badly and
the pain was intense.
In speaking of Albright's decision
afterwards, the Milwaukee sailors ex-
pressed themselves as perfectly salts
fed. Fort said that it was so close
that nobody could have kicked, which
ever way the umpire had given it.
Take it all round, it was a mighty
fine show, and it would be a poor
hearted fan who complained of the four
hours of excellent baseball which he
witnessed yesterday afternoon.
THE FIRST GAME.
The Diamond Heads went in first.
olinos took the ball on his hip and
J walked Eddie Fernandez came up and
introduced few faeetious stunts which
may have been very effective with the
bleachers, but did not improve his bunt-
ing. for he lobbed three balls outside
the line and retreated. Olmos reached
second, but VIII Chillingworth famed
and Louis went out at first, SO he got
no farther.
Kanki came up first for the Keios
and he waved his bat in very de-
termined way He walked, Ohashi
walked, and Sasaki might have walked,
only that he saw chance to bnnt,
