Aalas Swat the Ball to the
River and Win Wet
Game.
By w. Tin Chong.
Standing of the Cupid League.

The postponement of the second game
Sox and the defeat of the Twilights by
the Aalas after a closely contested bat
ties; was what took place at Aala Park
yesterday afternoon. In the forenoon,
! the Asahis failed to put in an appear
ance to meet the Chinese Aloha Jrs. and
the game was declared forfeited to the
Chinese lads. This is one of the River
side Junior League games and in win
ming this, the Alohas will have now
meet the Aala Jrs. next Sunday to play
for the championship of the second
series for the Single trophy
At 1:30 p. H., A. K. Vierra, Bill Pres
tidge, Eddie Fernandez, NJ T. Marshall
Jr. and the two teams were on hand;
but as there were hardly any more spec.
tators than there were players, these
notables held a conference to see wheth-
er it was wise to play or to have the
two games scheduled for the afternoon
postponed. 1t was finally decided to
! play one of the games and have the
second game continued to the end of
the season. This was because the
ground was too wet to permit of any
good ball. The captains of the Twi
, lights and the Aalas decided, however,
to play. =
The game did not start until little
after 2 p. m. and did not end until
after 4. It was one of the longest
games that ever took place at Aala
| park. The wet balls were the main
cause of this and at intervals the pitch
ers had to dry them before continuing
the game
Twilights were first up at bat. Nc

runs in all. The Aalas made three
again in the second inning, four each
/ in the fourth and sixth innings and two

ing part of the game. In this inning,
the Twilights came close to tying the
score Mccall, who was the first one

was allowed to get to the initial sack
on four balls Then Medeiros bingled
and Freitas went to second. Anderson
