Seegar's pitching for Merry Shafer
skied, Kennedy followed suit and Art
Shafer famed. Then Kilburn walked
to the box and stood the sailors at
attention while he put Fite, Perry and
Fort out at first from involuntary
| hunts.
The storm came up in the second
part of the second inning. Byrnes
| singled and Freine decorated the plate.
The latter singled TO left field and Nc
Herman errored which resulted IN third
and second bags holding a man. Peter
| hunted fairly hard and would never
| have reached first if Stocks had not hit
! the lee seuppers, whereat Byrnes romp-
| ed and Freine reached third while Pc
| ter jigged around first Then Salberg
| handed a package to Daniel at center
field that was too heavy to hold so
Freine ran home Peter came home on
another error by Fort, Salberg was
did Latin. But the score was to 2 in
favor of the Claras.
| From then on the sailors never had
| a look-in Kilburn had found himself
and put them over the plate in great
shape while the felders were having
their first spring holiday. They did
not score, however, until the fifth but
} they kept up their average right there
and made the scoreboard boy dig for
number A.
/ Strangely enough all four runs were
made with two men out. Salberg and
/ Kilburn were both out at first and
! then Latin came up laughi- no, smil-
| ing. He waited till the ball stopped
| in mid air and then gave it a love
| tap that sent it to the wllds of center
! field This took him to third and then
/ Fort dropped just in time to let him
over the plate. Fort made another err
ror that sent Merv Shafer to second
and Perry slipped a cog long enough
to let Merv home and Kennedy to first.
Art Shafer did little smuggling on
his own account which sent Kennedy
to third. Then Byrnes hit two bag
ger which took him to third on Smith s
error while Art and Kennedy toddled
back to mother. That was about
enough for one inning so Frelne
famed to show the Claras were not
greedy. Score Z to for the collie
gians.
Seegar showed class in the seventh
for he had Kennedy, Art Shafer and
Byrnes, the men who had been doing
the scoring, out in Jig time. But the
Claras tailed three on a woeful sue
cession of errors by the felders.
Freine reached second on Perry IS err
ror, Peter reached first on Stocks dit
to, then Tighe made a lallapaloosa
which sent Freine home, Peter to third
and Salberg to second.
PAYMASTER APPEARS HUMAN.
Then Paymaster Fite made his one
e1n +haA ba ]
really is human and not wonderful
ball -pIaying machine. Kilburn famed
and then Latin took the bat. 1t look
ed like an easy ball that came to first
base after being folded at second but !
Fite missed it and Peter went home |
Merv was out at first but not before
Salberg crossed the plate and the in
ming ended with three more runs to the !
credit of the college lads making it
10 to 3
The feature play of the game came |
in the ninth when Merv Shafer caught /
Smith out. The latter skied right over |
his head and the ball dropped close to |
the bleachers. The sun was in his eyes
and nobody thought he could possibly I
get it, but Merv doused his mask and |
caught that ball with as little effort !
as though he were in midi field Danief +
was already out and Stocks went out
at first so the game was over with
the Santa Claras very much to the good
and the sailors disappointed but not
The fans of this town should feet
grateful to the lads from the Milwau-
kee for the ripping good games they
have put up here and the sportsmanlike
way they have acted Manager .Jes-
sop Is man who carries the mark OF
the true sportsman on his face and
in his manner and we can only regret
that the Milwaukee is ordered away
so soon and that the attendance was
so very small yesterday afternoon.
Costello umpired the game and gave
every satisfaction to both fans and
players. We have a bunch of good
umpires and, if the fans would only /
quit grouehing and remember that
those boys are doing their utmost, Ho-
nolulu would be better able to uphold
it's name as home of the best sports
men in the world
