RINGERS LOSE
A CAME FIGHT
Users Win Great Ten-Innine
Game-Ringers Lose by
One Error.
Users, s; Ringers, 4; 10 innings.


Well, good people, we shall have to
slip it to the Ringers. 1t is true that
they lost out finally but they certainly
made the FTisers hustle a bunch and,
had it not been for the wetness of
the ball and consequent poor throw
by. the Ringer shortstop in the ninth,
the 'Tisers would never have won.
AS it was the typeslingers finished
two ahead after ten innings of as keen
and snappy ball as was ever seen on
the old league grounds. There were
just two real errors in the game. One
was the venial bad throw of the Ringer
shortstop and the other was bad one
in the first inning by the 'Tiser infeld
(hard to say whether thrower or
catcher) which brought in three runs
for the Ringers.
There was plenty of roofing and ex-
element and the rather small crowd of
fans, most of whom were partisans, en-
joyed the game thoroughly. The Rim
gers hauled out load of megaphones
and their supporters used these first
aids to the injured voice; but the 'Tiser
rooters had no need of megaphones.
They each carried megaphone in his
throat. Oh yes, there was plenty Of
noise.
The first inning was trifie ragged
but after that both teams settled down
to hard work and it was real snappy
ball from then until the end of the
game. Archie Robertson put his de-
tractors to scorn by playing a remark
ably accurate game at first and he was
we'll backed by his infield, especially
" Haole' Sumner, who sent well to
first and made two remarkably brilliant
foul catches.
Henry Chillingworth took Jim Will
liams place in the box at the end OF
the game and twirled very neatly, to
the great discomfort of the blithesome
Ringers. The hero of the day was
Johnny Kupau for the 'Tisers who swat
ted out a triple in the tenth which
brought two men in when there were
already two down. and won the game.
Jim Williams made a good start in
the first inning by swatting triple.
He and Che Bui scored on bingle by
the latter and also by Kupau. But
the Ringers came Shack with three and
there was great jubilation. Then the
game began to be very fast. Batters
went out one, two and three and there
was no score until the fourth when
Kupau came in for the rTisers.
This tied the score but the Ringers
went ahead again in the second half
of the inning on a fierce triple by
Jack Kia. Jack swatted down third
base line and the ball went under the
fence. Jack is no Splinter or it would
III
had to grub for the ball before he could
find it.
There was no scoring again until the
first of the ninth when Pimental made
his unfortunate error. There were two
, men down but Henry Chillingworth
bingled and stole second. Then Paul
Perreira slogged down by short and
Henry romped on the ensuing tumble.
| This tied the score again and, as the
| Ringers were put out easily in the sec
ond half of the ninth, tenth inning
began. Pimento and Johnny Perreira
were both down but Jim Williams
bingled and was followed by Che Bui
whose safe hit sent Jim to third. Then
Kupau made his famous triple and both
! Jim and Cheeky romped. The Ringers
| were out one. two, three and the game
was over with certain of the Dom Paul
bunch trying to make out it was all
luck.
1t was really good baseball that was
played and, if the big league would
only get together and put up any such
| exhibition, they would very soon have
the support of all the fans in town.
