DIS 10 make mistakes. None or them
are perfect, some can see things and
some t, and some have a habit of
looking in the wrong direction at the
right time. For all these reasons the
average fan, save in the excitement of
the moment, does not wish to be too
hard on the unfortunate official who
makes a mistake
But one umpire by the name of Ar
mold certainly did get into a tangle yes
terday afternoon 1t cannot be said
that he favored one side for a moment
His decisions were delightfully."- impair
tial, and the humor of the thing struck
the players so that they forebore to
even howl. But the bleachers looked
at things differently, and the hundred
or so fans on the bleachers stated loud
~ for all the world to hear exactly
what they thought of him and his an
teeedents.
Burns was on first in the seventh in
ming of the Santa Clara versus All
Hawaii match when Jim Williams came
to the bat. The latter sent along to-
ward first base and ran. Broderiek
took the bali and sent it quickly to Art
Shafer Just in time to catch Burns out
at second. It was a very pretty double
play and aroused cheers from the
bleaehers. Jim and Burns started TO
walk away. when suddenly they were
seen to stop. and. with smiling faces,
return TO the bags. The umpire had
called it foul ball. As matter of
fact Brederick was standing on first
base leaning over toward the box when
he picked up the ball. Then the next
ball served to Williams tipped the bat
and the umpire gave him his base for
being hit by the ball Williams laugh
ed and walked to first wringing his
fingers for all the world as though they
were about to drop off.
In the ninth, when it locked as
though All-Hawaiis really had a chance
to do some scoring, En- Sue was called
away from second after being safe the
proverbial mile Mr.. Arnold is doubt
less gentleman of high intellectual
attachments, but we have very grave
doubts as to his qualifications to UNI
pire a ball game.
The Santa Claras played a splendid
game. Not an error was chalked up
against them, and Kilburn famed six
men without walking single one of
them. Their batting and fielding were
both of the very highest order, and the
game was a climax TO the splendid
series of games they have put up here.
The All-Hawaiis did their level best
and there was no Stacking about them
at any time. They deserved support
yesterday and got practically none.
The bleachers were empty and the
Santa Clara boys made more noise for
themselves than did all the spectators
for the other team,
Barney joy had an unfortunate aeei |
dent to one of his fingers in the fourth /
inning, which necessitated his dropping |
the mitt and going to right field while /
Burns took his place behind the bat. |
Up to that time Barney had been play
ing a very fair game and, with Reuter-
his best and the whole team
settling into its stride, the visitors
were having no cinch. i
The change seemed to upset things
and disturb the entente of the team,
for, in the sixth, the Santa Claras put
over three After that the home boys
rebound themselves aQd held their OPP
pOnents down in great shape for the
rest of the game.
Eddie Fernandez performed the star |
play of the day. Pop Lappin came up /
in the first and sent a beauty along the |
line toward first Just high enough TO |
miss the first baseman and fall well |
short of the right fielder. High enough !.
% miss an ordinary first baseman, that |
IS. but not our Edwin. He jumped,
md he Jumped high, and made a won |
Ierful midair one-handed catch that |
made the spectators gasp. The ball was |
10 high and going SO fast that it seemed !
impossible that he could have caught it :
ven after he had thrown it smilingly
o the pitcher.
Broderick also made a very pretty
.ateh in the second. Bruins hit hard to
bird base and Bvrnes threw to first
The big man with the big voice threw
-ery hard and too low but Broderick
topped and scooped the ball very pref
lily.
Another features of the game was
svrnes' base sliding in the second in
ing. If it had not been for his clever
york in this direction it is very doubt
nj whether the Santa Claras would
ave scored in that second period.
svrnes was running for Kennedy at the
ime and one of the Santa Clara players
made the remark that he was not the
nan 70 put in TO run. But some other
Iaver assured him that Byrnes was the
reatest slider in the world and, judg-
no by> the exhibition the big man Put
