Of course TIE feature of yesterday
afternoon s games was the marvellous
record made by Apau and the c. A. G.
against the Beers. They whitewashed
the Beers and tied world s record
by not allowing a single man to reach
first base during the entire game.
Twenty-seven men walked up to the
plate and twenty-seven men walked
back again, one, two, three; one, two,
three: all the way through the game.
Of these twenty-seven martyrs, six
famed the air and the others were put
out by grand infeld work. There were
only two outfeld flies and practically
all the rest of the dope was handled
by Apau and Sing Chong. The lat
ter surpassed himself and played one
grand and reliable game at third base.
Cy Young's Record.
The record that was tied by thue
C. A. Cs was that of Cy Young. Pitch
ing for the Boston Americans against
the Philadelphia Athletics Cy struck
out twenty-one men. This is from
memory, if anybody has any correct
dope on the subject, the exact date
and details of the game, the same would
be very greatly appreciated if sent in
to the sporting department, as it would
be of keen interest to the local fans
after the exhibition put up by Apau
and company.
Marines Nearly Won Again.
The Marines came very near to win
ming the game against the Japs. They
were two runs ahead at the end of
the sixth inning but were tied in the
seventh and lost the game in the last
inning, partly by the sun slanting di-
reetly into the eyes of center fielder
and partly by tumble by right
fielder.
knight reappeared at first base for
the Half-wets and played fine game.
He is debited with one error on the
score sheet, but that was one of the
most venial errors in the world 1t
was hot, twisting grounder and any
body could be forgiven for not nego-
tiating it. At that the error was not
fatal in any way as there were no
runs scored in that inning.
Ayau Makes His Debut.
Vivian Ayau, the crack little short
stop who used to play for the Chinese
Alohas at Aala Park, returned from
Maui last week and made his first
appearance at the park. He was greet
ed with a tremendous ovation when
the fans saw him at shortstop and he
repaid their welcome by playing
star game and not making a single
error
Sing Chong at third base was far
more in his position than at short.
He surely shone very brightly yester-
dav. Akina at first base made him
self very much liked by playing an
errorless game AS mat.er of fact
the Dragonlet whole game was e>
rorless and there was not an approach
to a slip or tumble the whole way
through Akina made two very dra-
matte scoops of low and fast ones, both
of which brought down the house.
Victory Being Popular.
The record and victory by the G. A.
C. was very popular. The spectators
seemed well pleased and the hundreds
of Chinese fans went as nearly crazy
as possible without being taken to the
pupule house. One Chinese fan be-
came so excited that he spluttered in
two languages and finally burst into a
paean of praise for McHenry who had
inst made a rather close decision. "Ho,
no. no. you all right Empire, oh, all
right, say you Mac get you some nice
present, oh, you all right Empire. -
The crowd was not so large as usual
on account of the recently organized
japanese boycott. But the grandstand
and bleachers were fairly full and any
lack in attendance was more than
made up to the players by the en-
thusiasm.
