IL is all of with the championship
now. The plucky Punahous have il
einched. From being the tail.enders
they have worked their way up to the
top and have won their last three
games through pure grit and staying
power. Bully for them. It does NOT
matter whether they win their game
with the Kams or not, they have plenty
of percentage to the good and cannot
have the pennant taken away from
them.
1t was a great game yesterday after
noon at Alexander field. The winning
run was made by a youth who appear,
in the official list as Hitchcock, but
Judging by the yells which greeted hin
| after the run was scored, his real nam,
is something like "Riekety, racketty
Rex
1t was after the Saints had been re
moved without a score in the first Of
the twelfth inning that coach Arnold
hailed Hitchcock and told him to slid,
in instead of Dexter Fraser. Res
went up to the bat and promptly swat
ted Pedro for lovely two-bagger right
along first base line.

asq Some Great Fielding.
The feature of the game, apart from
Hitchcock IS great double, was tho ex
cellent fielding of Yeitchi at left fell
and Lowrey at second base Both o.
these felders handled some hot ones il
good shape and Yeitchi made one yer.
sensational catch in which he rolled OF
| the ground after a collision but still
froze onto the ball and had the bate
out.
Another notable thing about tn
game was that Cheeky fooled zen
twice. Once with a runner making TO
second and once with one making TO
third, he threw directly to the latte
base after third strike while the bat
ter was making for first. Many catch
ers would have been fooled and throw
to first, but not so our Cheeky who's
cooi-headedness was properly appreeiat
ed by those who were on to the play
Saints Score on Errors.
The Puns made two runs in the frs
inning with three hits and it locke

easily, but the Saints settled down an
held them nicely except for one NOR

The Saints scored their first two run
