Punahou 4. st. Louis 8 (12 innings
1t is all off with the championship
now. The plucky Punahous have it
cinched. 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. 1t 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 great game yesterday after
moon at Alexander field. The winning
run was made by a youth who appears
in the official list as Hitchcock, but,
Judging by the yells which greeted him
after the run was scored, his real name
is something like Rickety, 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 slide
in instead of Dexter Fraser. Rex
went up to the bat and promptly swat
ted Pedro for a lovely two-bagger right
along first base line
Then it was easy. Ordenstein famed
but Taylor handed out bingle and
Rocky ran He reached the plate at
the same time that Quni caught the
ball, but the catcher was way off from
the plate and Reginald, Rex, Rocky,
Rick, Rax was as safe as houses and
a whole lot safer than some of them.
There was young batter named Rex,
Whose methods were very complex.
He swatted double
Without any trouble,
Which seemed the Saints rooters to vex.
Which is a very poor Limerick, but
notable on account of containing two
real rhymes with Rex. Note. Mon Yin
supplied the second rhyme.
Some Great Fielding.
The feature of the game, apart from
Hitchcock IS great double, was the ex-
eellent fielding of Yeitehi at left field
and Lowrey at second base. Both OF
these felders handled some hot ones in
good shape and Yeitchi made one very
sensational catch in which he rolled on
the ground after collision but still
out.
Another notable thing about the
game was that Cheeky fooled 'em
twice. Once with a runner making for
second and once with one making for
third, he threw directly to the latter
base after third strike while the bat
ter was making for first. Many catch
ers would have been fooled and thrown
to first, but not so our Cheeky whose
cool medicines was properly appreeiat-
ed by those who were on to the play.
Saints Score on Errors
The Puns made two runs in the first
inning with three hits and it looked
as though they were doing it very
easily, but the Saints settled down and
held them nicely except for one more
in the third.
The Saints scored tLeir first two runs
on errors, in fact they did not have a
hit in that inning. Ordenstein pitched
very fairly good game but he did
some unfortunate walking. But, no
matter how many balls he delivered, he
never got ratified and was pitching
strongly at the end of the game Pedro
did well and was ably seconded by
Quni with the big mitt.
