I ATHLETIC PARK RESULTS.
Half-wets l, Beers O.
Tennessee 8, Japs 2.
OH YOU CHE FA KIDDo.
Che Fa Willie is gambler
And to wager he is bold,
He will raise the price at any time
His feet are never cold.
A sailor bet him five big bones
"Just make it twent," said he.
The Tennessee boys won the game
All off with big Billee.
4 Chorus:
|. (This to be sung by certain joyful
sailors.)
Oh! you would bet would you9
You Che Fa Willie
You would get bit would youS
You Che Fa Willie
The sailors took your dough away
And some poor chinks will have to pay.
That IS all for you and so Good-day
Poor old Che Fa Willie.
oh, yes, there was plenty of excite
ment at the Athletic Park yesterday
afternoon. Che Fa Willie was sure
that the Japs would hand it to the
sailors from the Tennessee. He was
swapping up all the bets he could. A
real old salt with face like ma
hogany fgurehead that has bumped
into wharf, handed out FIVE spot.
l'Aw! make it twent," said Willie.
The sailor was very pleasant about it.
He produced large pocketful of gold
and began to make live noise. Willie
1quit at hundred.
The Beers took their third lump of
3wbitewash in succession. 1t is true
that it was not bad defeat that the
Half-wets gave them but the old Ma
rine bunch was invincible with the
new man, Sinclair. behind the plate
and they played beautiful team work
1all the way through.
An Enormous Crowd.
I There was an immense crowd to
watch the games. At least thirty-five
hundred fans swarmed over the bleach
ers and escaped in an overflow all along
the side of the diamond. The free
galleries up above the right field fence
were "packed, jammed, absolutely
full, and tiles on the roofs were to
be seen only in few places near the
edge, where there was no room for
even an excited Chinese fan to hold
pm.
There were more celebrities present
han ever. Local army and naval Off
,ers were there in large numbers and,
)f course, many officers from the fleet.
3 Link McCandless, Marshall Hendry and
Senator Chillingworth were observed
near together, Major Long was very
much interested and manager Renton,
pf Eva plantation, was a disappointed
man when George Clark was shut out.
S'Kimo' Coke, the popular attorney
lind sportsman of Maui, was there and
he beaming smile of good old Les.
RPetrie was illuminating the front of
bhe grandstand. Doc Raymond wore
j large smile and seemed to be enjoy
ng every feature of the games.
In addition to the regulars and many
hundred local notables who were seen
at the park for the first time, there
were several tourists present. The
Halter enjoyed the games and the nov
: pity of the huge cosmopolitan crowd
Intensely, in fact many of them seem.
+ I'D as interested in watching the spec.
;ators as the play on the diamond.
A Great Marine Battery.
The feature of the afternoon was
he great work of the Marine battery,
he splendid support they had from the
|ielders and the intense enthusiasm with
(which every service man present en-
ouraged and applauded Gibson IS pitch
Ing.
Gibson was never seen to better ad-
S vantage. Sinclair, the new catcher
5 worked in perfect rapport with him and
here was but one tumble at the plate
|ind that not costly one.
There was large smile at first base
Ind, after investigation, it was dis
s covered that Davis was behind it. He
played peachy game at that posi-
ion, accepted fourteen chances and
Negotiated every one of them. One OF
hem was half of very clever double
play.
Rice's Swell Catch.
Bill Rice made one very fine catch
t was in the second inning that Glib
ION swatted hot one to centerfeld
Bill was there like swimduck and
got that ball on the run, to the huge
10y of all the Boer supporters.
Josiah also performed very drama
lie stunt by scooping a terrific gronndel
by slorp that seemed certain for a
Jingle. 1t was great piece of field
Ing.
segeart Twirls Well.
Segeart, the Tennessee pitcher, twirl
III very pretty game. He was thass
With the cool head all the time. Flores
or the Japs was right there. On sew
raj occasions he pulled his team ont
i the hole with man on third and
zone down,
Great, big, "Redn carrnthsrs played
