IWiIights Defeated in the Last
Inning of a Close
Contest.

The Chinese Athletic Club Jr. is still
making strong bid for the champion
ship honors of the Kalanianaole League
for which they have been tied with
the Twilights and the Kaalas. In the
game played at Aala park yesterday
morning, they succeeded in defeating
the Twilights by a score OF 80, after
one of the best games which has been
seen on the grounds for some time. The
Chinese outbatted their opponents,
making six clean hits to two. which
accounts for the score. Both teams
were bit ragged in the field, the
Twilights making six errors and the
winners seven, but managed to keep
steady when there were men on bases
and thus held down the score
The game ended up with one of the
most exciting innings that could be
asked for In the first Of the ninth
the Twihghts managed to get In one
run through a costly error>and tied
the score, but the last half was too
much for them, and, ratified a bit by
the cheering of the big crowd which
was on hand, they allowed the c. A. G.

HOW JAPAN
SAW THE SAINTS

The fame of the st. Louis baseball
team s tour TO Japan has reached even
to Reading, Pennsylvania. The follow
ing clipping from the Eagle, of that
city, should be interesting here. That
paper says:
Baseball is fast becoming as popular
in Japan as it is in the United States
A recent game between the Honolulu
team and Keio University nine at To-
kio, was attended by representatives of
the Imperial Court, the diplomatic
corps, officers of the army and navy
and fully 10000 plain fans.
A correspondent describes the game
in an interesting way He writes:
1.-The crowd lined the bleaehers
around the field. More than two
thirds wore European dress, though
no more than a hundred Europeans
and Americans were present.
'sThe crowd was typically japanese,
containing all classes, from riekshaw
men to courtiers, but no women.
1.-THE athletic field at Keio Univer-
sity is several miles from the center
of Toxic. 1t is as large as any big
league park. The ground was without
grass, but rolled as smooth as tennis
court.
1.-THE players used English terms,
and il was positively weird to hear
japanese crowd shout:
- Good eyel You re the candy
: Line 'em out!' But they do it, and
the japanese umpire says, 'Stlike one!
Two bowl in manner that would
turn Silk o'Loughlin green
1.-The college yell of Keio IS 'Rah.
Rah! Rahl Keio,' Not a banzai was
heard. but there was as much hand
elapping and inartieulate yelling as
at home. There was no rowdyisrn,
dirty ball or disrespeet to his jumps.
Baseball in Japan IS baseball with the
rowdy part kept out Both teams play
ed rafting ball.
1.-The game went IS innings, ending
) TO 8 in favor of Keio. It was re-
freshing to see such game for from
10 ven 8 eents) to so yen $50 eents)."
A liberal translation, condensed, Of
the account of the game given in To- |
KIDS great independent newspaper, jill |
Shimpo, is as follows:
The heaven-b0rn Honolulu team, /
by grace Of the gods. won the toss
and the Invincibles had first chance to /
swat the honorable ball-that emblem
50 beautiful of Uncle Sam.
1.-THE honorable Kauki Of the first
base, descendant of hundred samu-
raj and beloved of all, grasped his bat
as if it were the two-handled sword
IF his ancestors. Alas! his honorable
egs were not winged, and the bali beat
him to the first rice bag.
No score was made by either OF
he honorable sides, though they hewed
holes IN the atmosphere like foEesters-
In the fifth inning the gods smiled on
Honolulu. and the team scored one
honorable run. Then the gods laughed
while the honorable Keio boys piled
ID three TALES.
Keio 5 1000 rooters then drew in
heir honorable breaths with q pleas

ALOHAS SCORE
CLEAN SHUTOUT

There were two good games Of base
ball seen at Aala Park yesterday at
fernoon under the auspices of the
Riverside Junior League. In the first
game. between the Oriental A. c. and
the Chinese Aloha Juniors, the latter
managed to shut ont the Orientals by
the score of 8 to 0. This is the second
shutout for the Alohas, as it viii be
remembered that they did the same
trick to the Nippon boys two weeks
ago. J. Aiona and TEN Yen, who
formed the Chinese Alohas' battery,
did some clever work. Pat Sullivan,
the crack fielder of the Alohas, made
one of the prettiest running catches
seen on the Aala diamond this sea-
son. The OrientaIs played good bail,
but the Alohas outclassed them
throughout the game.
The second game was between Sam
Hops crack team, the Aalas, and Jack
Flores nine, better known as the
Sweet yiolets, and caused more fun
among the spectators present than did
the first game. Jack had a good team
up and gave the Aala boys a stiff
fight In fact, Sam Hop, who was sta
toned at right field, was called off
the diamond in the fourth inning in
order to save the game, and Hoopii
filled his place. The AaIas finally won
the game by the score of 6 to g. If

IT WAS A DAY
Of SURPRISES
Brewery Defeats Laundry and
Sailors Down the Ocean
Views.

Yesterday was the day Of general
surprises IN the Atkinson Leagua
games. In the first contest the Brew
cry team, which has been at the bot
tom of the list, came through with =
bunch of hard hits which allowed them
to beat the Laundry team by score
of IT to II. Their fielding was also
better than that Of their opponents.
and 1t was an easy win for them,
bringing up their reputation. which
has not been Of the best up to this
time.
In the second game the sailors lid
the unexpected and beat out the Ocean
Views. through hard biting. THIS
brings about a new standing in the
league. with the police on top and the
Iroquois and Ocean Views tied for
second place. The games next Sunday
viii decide the championship OF the
second series, as the police are only
ahead through the fact that they have
played one game less than their OPP
ponents.
