c. 4. CS. WALLOP
THE ALLIANCE
En- Sue Hits a Home Rum
Largest Holiday Crowd at
AaIa Park.

The poor Alliance Kids had ter
rible package handed to them yester-
day afternoon at Aala Park by the
c.. A. Cs. Seven runs did the victo-
rious dragonlets pile up and only two
could the students make.
The game was tremendous success
from the fans point of view, and
there were several thousand fans there
to watch. The crowd, in fact, was
largen than the usual Sunday gather
ing, and there was more roofing and
cheering than one generally gets at
Aala Park.
The feature of the game was the
home run that En- Sue banged out in
the eighth. 1t was sure a pipperino,
and Phil Wong at left field was lucky
to ever find the ball. En- Sue famed
two strikes and smiled. at three balls,
and then got ready for business.
Johnny Lo put neat one over; it was
due to cross the plate, but En- Sue
got it first and wanged it way down
above the heads of the crowd nearly
to Beretania avenue.
Then the fast little sprinter had a
of the crowd, and he did. He ran
around that diamond as though Harry
Mills were after him and beat the ball
to the plate by about six yards. Tt
was great swat and a great run, and
the crowd showed proper appreciation.
The other feature of the game was
the cultured and effective roofing of
Sam Wong for the c. A. Cs. lie sat
on the bench with a miniature mega
phone in his hands and hurled caustic
joshes at Johnny Lo while he was
pitching. He also encouraged the
dragonlet players when they were at
bat and handed some new slang that
was worth storing for future use. One
expression that he got off made de-
cided hit in the neighborhood. Johnny
Annoy was at the bat and Sam hand
ed him this-EsSock him to the out-
field, John; he's only Coop When
Lo heard himself thus libeled he
wound himself into nineteen knots and
bravely famed the innocent Annoy.
Cup is Presented.
After the game there was a big pres
entation from the grandstand. The
cup, presented by Hong Quon of Sing
Chong & Co.. stood in state in the
front center of the grandstand during
the game, and when the dragon kids
had won, everybody barged up to see
this very handsome trophy presented
by Mr. Chock Hoy, who delivered it
into the hands of En- Sang, with a
neat little speech, and then called for
three cheers for everybody in success
sion
Then the members of the two teams
went to dress and put on their best
bibs and fuckers for the big dinner
that was given for them in the club
rooms of the Dai Kwoek Hin Gin Wi
Society, on King street. The dinner
was a grand success, and everybody
left with light hearts and heavy
stomachs.
The absence of Mon Yin and Apau
| from the Alliance lineup was severely
felt by the team. Last year the stu
dents won the game, but they had
little chance with crippled team
| against the c. \. Cs.. who had two
league players, En- Sac and Johnny
| Annoy.
Johnny pitched fine game. and
That goes for both Johns. If Lo had
had any reasonable support at second
base the result would have been quite
different. Nearly all the c. A. c. runs
were scored through hole on second
base. while all other points on The
