Two more brilliant and exciting
games Of baseball at the Athletic Park
yesterday. With appetites whetted by
the great ballfest of the previous Sun
day the fans crowded every corner of
the grounds and they certainly were
treated to as fine a feast Of snappy ball
as would satisfy the hunger of the
craziest of them.
The Oahu league is keeping up its
reputation for providing good ball and
the park management is sure of a good
attraction every Sunday as long as the
present series lasts.
The feature of the day, apart from
the wonderful pitching of George Clark,
was the excellent work of Lemn at
second base for the Beers and the good
ball played by all the players who took
part in the big league ball the day be
fore
Flores did quite a little stunt for
the Japs; he caught three men nap
ping on first with terribly swift throw
that he has recently developed. This
is a very deadly piece of business, al
most like Smiling Bill Burn great
throw to first which had the local play
ers guessing when Mique Fishers ag-
gregation was here.
Henry Walker made his first appear
anee at the Athletic Park and, when
he stepped up to the plate for the Japs,
he was accorded tremendous ovation
from the fans This made that big
Henry feel a trife disconnected and he
really looked almost sheepish, but he
plaved none the worse for that and
handed out steady and reliable brand
of ball all the game through.
Franco was another new face in the
jap lineup. He was at second base and
PLAYED a star and errorless game. He
is a pillar of strength for the Japs in
that important position and is more Of
an acquisition than he, perhaps, appre-
eiated.
Apau and Gibson Shine.
Apau twirled a peachy game for the
Dragonlets but he had none the better
of Gibson. The sturdy Marine really

inning the Dragonlets would not have
tied the score.

Twice he famed with men on bases
and only one down. But this did not
rattle the unluckv one and he kept smll-
ing all through the game.
Knight, the Marine Businessman,
repeated his star game of the Sunday
previous on the initial sack. He played
an errorless game and handled some
hard ones that he might well have been
excused for fumbling.
Fast Base Running.
The weather was ideal for baseball,
no rain. and enough breeze to keep
things from getting too hot The dla-
mond is in excellent condition, and the
base-running was very speedy all the
way through.
1t is interesting to note how each
Sunday more and more prominent local
people may be seen in the grandstand
at the park Marshal Hendry is one
enthusiast who takes in all the games
and he certainly does enjoy them. A
large delegation from Eva comes III
every Sunday to see the games, ana
Leslie West. the manager of the VIC
torious Eva team, is always there to
help root.
The First Game.
The Beers had large whitewash
tub with them, and Dom Paul and his
commando took that tub and doused 1t
all over the .aps. In the first inning
the Beers made two. Rice sent hot
high one to third base which was dock
ed by Ross. Lemm switched the cars
off at the second crossing from large
consignment of swatting to leftheld
along third base line.
Then Sheppard, he of Leilehua and
the fat smile, was safe at the primary
on some bungling by 1amashlro. This
induced Lemn to wander thlrdward,
and. of course, the four-legs took sec
ond without difficulty.
This made two men on bases and one
down. Bates, he swatted the stuff you
breathe. but Butler, another four
logger, hoisted the sphere to left field
for nifty bingle and Sheppard and
Iemn both romped. Then kaipo put
hole IN the air. Two runs.
the eighth inning. This is how it was
done. Mccall landed at first OH Yama-
shire $ strange thought that the bali
was too hot to hold. Then Jack Flores
tried one of his sidewinder whingdooz-
lers to first. but MeHenry called It a
balk. and Mccall toddled once, Rice
sacrificed Mccall to third. Lemn cut
curve in the air to Walker at center
field Two men down with Mccall on
third. Brito grew sassy; he thought
he could catch Mccall asleep. but he
threw wild and Mccall romped. Shep-
hard bingled, but Bates famed, and
the scoring for the game was pau.
The ninth inning was a hot one 1t
looked like a score for the Japs, but
McHenry made a lapsus fungus and the
Japs sat down in the whitewash wal
ker made a terrific drive to eenterfeid
for a sack and stole another one. Joe
