in the air themselves.
AT that the Diamond Heads did one
of the prettiest double plays ever seen
on the grounds. The Saints had the
bases full in the fifth inning, with only
one down. Barney Joy hit to Eddie
Fernandez who sent to Winnie in time
to get JOY out before he could waddle
to the initial sack. 1t was a beautiful
piece of headwork and aroused much
enthusiasm.
Quite a Large Crowd.
There was really quite fair-sized
crowd out at the League grounds and
.he class of ball presentd for their
ediieation was very much up to snuff.
The Saints had finely organized gang
of rooters who carried canes with the
ST. Louis flag on them and kept the
Welkin busy resisting their efforts.
Captain Berger was there with his
band and had made a great improve
ment in his lineup. The trombone
player who generally makes so many
errors on third, was sent to the bench
and the band showed really excellent
team work Captain Berger, as usual,
filed the box and did good work, fan
ming no less than six different tunes
and keeping the hits properly scat
tered.
There was rather a long wait be-
tween the two games as Freitas had
not arrived to appear for the Saints.
The team went on the field without
him, however. and used Louis until
the fast shortstop arrived.
A Great Afternoon.
Take it altogether it was about as
delightful an afternoon s entertainment
as one could wish to see. The weather
was Just warm enough and not too
nwfully hot, there was no clustering
wind sweeping round the corner of the
grandstand, Jack Doyle was there and
did great work in his usual place on
the first base bleachers, both games
were fast and snappy and it looks very
much as though people would begin
to wake up and realize what kind of
good show the league is putting up for
their delight.
The Hams put up an awfully nice
game in the first spasm. They are
getting better all the time and so are
the Puns. 1t is pity that the Rams
have not more team work Their in
dividual playing and batting is good,
but they need to Find themselves. -
Poor old Bill Hampton famed twice.
He blushed the first time and tried to
smile the second time. Tt was brave
effort but rather failure. He was
ioshed numerically from the bleachers.
He did not mind the joshing but he
must have felt sorry about handing
out a mere, paltry wo-bagger and
bringing in three runs when the bases
were full, instead of having hit the
ball over the fence and made it four
runs.
The First Game.
Ordenstein twirled very neat game
for the Puns. Milikaa did well, too,
but lacked the support which was
given to Ordenstein. Perhaps the fun
niest part of the whole game was when
they were trying to get big Bob Nc
Corriston out at the plate. Most of
the Kan team was chasing him back
wards and forwards between third and
the plate, but Bob did a huge duck
and slid safely home.
The Puns went in first and were soon
disposed Of Then the Kams came up
and started well by scoring their only
run. Mckenzie walked, Murray skied
to a fine catch by Danny Arcia. Nc
Kenzie stole second and romped on a
great bingle by Andrews who went to
second while they were trying to get
Mckenzie out at the plate. Milikaa
sacrificed Andrews to third, but Apela
famed.
That was all the scoring that the
Hams could do. In the second inning
the Puns came through with big
rompfest and piled up three. McCor-
riston walked, hit by pitched ball. He
screwed his face into a delightful sem
blance of agony, but could not help
smiling in his usual genial way when
somebody jollied him about it.
Bob went out at second while Orden-
stein arrived at first avenue. Whiting
ton walked and Butler bingled, the
bases being full. Then Areia was safe
while Ordenstein was doused at the
plate 1t was at this time that Bill
Hampton made his noble double, which
emptied the bases. Wilmington, But
Ter and Arcia all romped. and the score
was to l, Puns.
The Hams got the bases full in the
sixth, but Ordenstein famed the last
man up and the Puns were out of a
mean hole The puns made their other
three runs in the eighth. VIII Hoogs
was safe on third baseman s error. Bob
Chillingworth singled him TO second, and
they both took a base on a passed ball
Bob McCorriston then made splendid
double to center field, so that Hogs
and Bob Chillingworth both romped.
Ordenstein died, but McCorriston went
