THREE BIG SPORTING
EVENTS THIS WEEK

Local fans of all kinds viii have
plenty to engage their attention this
week. The big boxing match between
Reilly and Cullen comes off on Wednes-
day night at the Orpheum. On Thanks
giving day there will be two football
games. The High School will play Pu-
nahou ON Alexander field and the Ma.
rines will play the Townies at the
league grounds. Then, on Saturday
there will be the big NJ. A A. athletic
meet at the league grounds.
Punahou has already won the inter
scholastic football championship and
the High School team is pretty badly
broken up, but the latter state their
intention of playing the game and may
be relied on to do the best Xhey know
how.
There is great excitement over the
Townie Marine game. They have each
won one game and this will be the last
of the series and will decide the cham
pionship.
The Marines are practising hard and
expect to have more perfectly organ
lied team this time. The Townies are
also working hard and expect to make

Oahu League Standing.
Athletic Park. Results.
Japs, 8; Dragonlets, 2.
Beers. 9; Half-wets, 5.

Japs, 8; Dragonlets, 2.
Beers, 8; Halfwets, 5.
The Dragonlets could not do it. They
did their level best but the Japs slipped
it to them by three to two and now the
Motley kids have cinch on the cham
pionship of the Oahu league.
Up to the very last minute it looked
as though the Dragonlets might be able
to do something but this did not come
off and the c. \. {. team had to take
the bitter pill of defeat.
One thing that tended to make it
bad for the Dragonlets was that Cheeky
turned up in a crippled condition. Foot
ball had not treated him 50 well as he
had thought. When he came on the
field he could only just about limp along
and was in no condition to catch, so he
went to first base.
All Toon took Cheeby's place behind
the bat but, while he made good, the
loss of the old reliable boy in that
position was. bad one for the team
and Cheeky could not hold down first
base properly, crippled as he was.
Great Catch by Williams.
The feature of the afternoon was the
one handed catch of Williams in the
second game. Josiah hit terrific drive
to centerfeld when there was but one
man down and the bases were full, not
only this but two runs had already been
scored 1t looked like a regular slaugh-
ter for the Beers IN that inning.
Then, when Josiah handed out that
terrific drive, everybody thought sure
ii would be double and that the Beers
would score three or even four runs.
But Williams put up his hand and
caught the ball: then, before anybody
could tell what was going on, he threw
to first in time to get Mccall out before
he had time to get back on his base.
Peyton Also Catches.
Another feature was the great run
ming catch by Peyton in the sixth IN
ming of the second game. David Desha
handed out one of several hard swats,
which he produced during the game, and
was very near to se0rlng mo asssan = g

chasing two men in front of him and
scored three runs with his phenomenal

The second game was nothing but
batfest from first to last. Both teams
did well in this department of the game

DRAGONLETS COULD NOT WIN.
AND LOSE THE CHAMPIONSHIP
Victory for Japs Through Temporary Stage
Fright OF Opposing Catcher Who
Passes Two Runs In.
Walker Can Throw,

A great and notable feat by Henry
Walker, in the first game, saved the
Dragonlets from tying the score. En-
Sue walked, hit by pitcher and then
stole second. The throw to second went
wild but En- Sue had slid to the base
and, by the time he had recovered
himself and, started to run for third,
Walker had the ball and, with light
ming throw to third, was just in time to
get the fast little Splinter out.
En- Sues playing at second base for
the Dragonlets was little short of
marvellous. Franco and Akana for the
Japs also made a great record. They
accepted some stiff chances and nego~
tiated them successfully when it looked
certain for bingle.
The First Game.
The first inning opened as though
there would be a batfest. The Dragon
lets scored one in the first Hong Chaek
died, pitcher to first, En- Sue famed.
Two down and none on bases. Sing
Chong walked and, when he tried to
steal second, Hoopii threw over second
baseman s head and Sing Chong scored
on the play. Cheeky famed. Score
l to 0 Dragonlets.
But the Japs came back with two
and were never headed. Franco walk
ed, Akana was safe on felder's choice,
while Franco went out at second.
Akana stole second and then Ross beat
his bunt out and Akana went to third
Ross stole second. On a passed ball,
Akana romped, while Ross went to
third. Then another passed ball and
Ross scored. Two passed balls, two
lucky runs, and the game for the Japs.
Walker famed, for the first of three
times, and Webster Junior skied to
short. Two runs.
The Japs made their third in the
third. Franco died, second to first;
Akana hingled and Ross made terrific
three Dagger to left field fence and
Akana scored. Walker famed for the
second time, ard Webster Junior died.
The Dragonlets made their final eff
fort in the sixth. En- Sue famed, but
Sing Chong bingled. Espinda tried to
get him mapping about six times. but
failed. Then Cheeky hit to Franco,
who made to touch Sing Chong, but
failed. Then he threw to Dreier, who
touched the bag to get Cheeky out and
threw TO second wild, SO that Sing
Chong romped. This was the last score
of the game. The official score was:

BASEBALL ENTHUSIASM.

At the ball game held on Spring Lake grounds on Saturday, July 31, was a walkover for the visiting nine, owing to the pitcher of the home team not being able to control the ball, letting five men cross the plate in the fourth inning, most of them getting their base on balls. In the fifth inning Corro.- went on the mound and proved to ue one of the best pitchers seen in Sherman. The score was 70 to ' in favor of Gay louisville. The hines were made up as follows: Gaylordsville, Marsh, ss, c, Newton 3b, Bangs 2b, Boner If, Dakin ss, c, Stone p, Chase 1b, Austin If, Ashman of.
