There were sixty.nine people in the
grandstand and bleachers at the bali
game yesterday. Jack Doyle was also
there and so we may say there were
about hundred and nineteen, rs eur
grand rooter is always good for half a
hundred.
The band played another new tune.
the Punahous beat the Saints by 4 to I
and there was an incipient scrap in the
ninth inning. All this put Together
made very interesting afternoon espe-
cially as there was some cry good bali
played at times.
1t could not be called an exciting
game on account of the absence of
roofing but both sides played up Tor
all they were worth and, IL the Puns
had not got away lin the seventh, the
game would undoubtedly have gone
into the tepth.
| The scrap in the ninth was mixed
! up affair and nobody seemed to know
exactly what il was about. The salient
features of it were that Aylett was ON
first and Plada came up to bat. The
latter famed three times, the last BAN
being a wild pitch, or nearly enough
so for Lyman to miss it. Pat Gleason
who was running for Aylett made Tor
second and Plada romped for first, He
arrived there in time and was called
safe by the umpire, Freine of the Santa
| Clara team.
Then the Saints raised n howl. They
said that when n man famed with an
other on first he was out whether the
catcher got the bali or no, Freinc be
gan to think il over and, seeing thar
his decision was an error of law ana
not of Judgment, reversed his decision.
Then the other side howled, the bleach,
ers howled as loud rs their numerical
inferiority would permit and everything
with a voice howled.
| The band arose and played The Star
Spangled Banner and everybody gov
ready to go home. Then the players
decided to play on and finish the game
which they did in smiling amity and
Pat Gleason enabled En- Sue TO score
Cor Aylett, by singing very neatly To
center field
Jim Williams made the star play or
the afternoon with ripping hard send
| from second to first which put sud-
den stop to very swift sprint of ono
Henderson.
Hampton pitched cautious and con-
sentative game while Barney Joy did
just the opposite He alternated by
pitching in very brilliant manner ana
then falling into n careless style until
he bethought himself to buck up again.
Barney can hardly be blamed; For the
atmosphere and poor attendance was
| verv conducive to listlessness.
The game on the whole was fast and
keen and there were plenty of brilliant
plays that would have busted the wei-
kin If performed by the Keios when
playing against the Santa Claras or Dia-
mond Heads As matter of fact the
game was very much better than many
that have attracted large crowds and
much praise for the players afterwards.
1t is up to the fans to aid our local
boys in bucking up and they are Ger
tainly showing an inclination to buck
up.
Fans won't go to the park unless the
players play good game and the play
ers can t be expected to do that with-
out support. It's up to both sides and
mostly up to the fans just now. Come
ON out you rooters and give the beys
the glad and festive hand-out.
