With a big surprise, the Chinese lads
put it all over the White Sox yesterday |
afternoon at Aala Park, and are now
leading in the Copid League for the
championship laurels, as far as the first
series is concerned. NOBODY can say
what took place in Chinatown last
night, but everyone may be assured
that there was jolly time among the
sons of the Celestial Empire. 1t was
the saddest blow Samuel di Hoppe ever
he cannot make it out just why it was
that the White Sox aggregation did
not win, although they were in their
full uniform, including those spotless
socks. Johnny Motley, the lone Home
Ruler playing in this League, has come
forward with a worthy explanation.
Motley stated that all was because that
big twirler from Eva, Geo. Clark, was
absent; whether he missed the train or
is laid up in bed, no one knows; only
the sad fact remains that he was not
there and that Markham performed the
twirling stunt for him.
In the second game the Nippons were
not in it for a minute with the Aalas,
II to being the result, and yet Fred
Luning was noticed very plainly in the
attitude of not coaching his boys to do
their best. This was especially notice
able in the final inning, when Luning
made such an exhibition of himself be-
hind the bat that A. K Vierra, with
his majestic cane of Office and in his
best black suit, laughed so much that
he had to leave the bandstand

began pitching in the air so high that
there were calls for a stepladder. Then
Yamashiro, a namesake Of the japanese
Hotel ON Beretania avenue, was called
into the box. He did better and stayed
the rest of the game.
The day was pleasant one, the
band playing for one of the largest
crowds of spectators assembled there for
some time. Among them were noticed
several prominent citizens, including
Mayor Fern, Bert Bower, Barney Joy
and several others. The Mayor was
! given a special seat in the bandstand,
/ next to A. K. Vierra, and during the
games these two dignitaries discussed
plan for removing the bandstand sew
eral feet back, so as to give more space
for the diamond. The Mayor-elect, al
though the voting is pau, appeared ia
vorable to Vierra s suggestion and stat
ed that he will use his efforts to make
the change when he assumes Office.
The first game ended with the score
standing s to in favor of the dragon,
let's. The Chinese boys batted first.
Mon Yin was safe on Kealoha s error
at second. Sing Chong doubled to left
and Mon Yin scored. Sing Chong then
reached third on a poor throw from
left field and romped on Chi Bui s sacri-
fee. So
In the second inning the Chin csc
team scored another run Aiona walk

Mark famed, but Leong was safed on
Tom Yen s error. Aiona then romped
on a good sacrifice by Ako
The White Sox did not score until
the third inning when three men man
aged to pass the home plate. Here is
how they performed the trick: Tom
Yen was hit by a pitched ball, and
stole the second one. Then he went to
third on a poor play of Asam Mark
ham singled and Yen came in. Correa
flew to right, but Markham nailed third
by a good steal. Leong threw wild to
third and MARKHAM scored.
The fifth inning saw the Chinese A.
c. with four runs more added to their
three. Sing Chong, Asam, Chi Bui and
Apau crossed the home plate this time.
In the eigth, they got another, Mark,
being the lucky one The White Sox
scored one in the seventh and two more
in the ninth. This ended the game.
