TWO Splendid GAMES

Once again the visitors demonstrated
beyond a shadow of a doubt that they
knew how to play baseball, and again
the local teams went down to defeat
at the hands of the visitors yesterday
afternoon at the league grounds. The
first game between the Saints and the
Keios ended in SIS score in favor of
the little players who certainly have
proved themselves to be good sports,
and the second game went to the Santa
Claras after they had out-played the
Heads at every point and stage of the
game.
The first game as well as the second
was as interesting as any one wished
| to see, and the visitors victories over
/ the local teams met with favor at the
hands of nearly every one present.
/ Burns who was in the box for the
Saints was hit at will by the little Nip
pons, and at no stage of the game were
the Keios beaten Five men crossed
the plate for the Keios in the seventh
inning, and one in the eighth which
gave them a lead that the Saints could
mot overcome, and the band played the
Japanese National air after three of
the Saints had been retired in one two,
three order in the ninth.
The second game was not started
with the usual alacrity as it should
have been, on account of objections to
the umpires, but as soon as the game
started every one saw that the over
confident and self praised Diamond
Heads were going to be beaten and
they were. The crowd showed their
feelings for the Santa Claras by giving
them hearty cheers every time they
put Diamond Head man out, and es-
pecially every time Fernandez was put
out. If Fernandez would play the
game for his team instead of playing
to the grand stand he would be much
more popular with the fans, but his
constant running to the pitcher after
every ball pitched does not make hit
with those who like to see good base
ball. All his journeys to the pitcher
yesterday did not do any good as Les
lie was way up in the air and nothing
could have brought him down to solid
earth Sam Chillingworth at third
distinguished himself by playing an err
rorless game, and was also good with
the stick. Bill Chillingworth one of
the best pitchers the league was put
in the box in the fifth inning to save
the game, but his team did not give
him the support necessary and it is
impossible for one man to win the
game. Byrnes was off his game at
third allowing two runs which the
Heads should never have had, but for
tunately they were not enough to win
the game.

| The baseball team composed of the
Marines at Camp Very, met and de-
feated the Kewalo team on the Atlin-
son league grounds yesterday morning
by a 25-S score. Masak who was IN
the box for the Marines struck out
eight men, while the two pitchers the
Kewalos put in were unable to come
anywhere near that number.
