terday afternoon although they surely |
had to keep alive all the time. It |
seemed to a man up tree looking |
over the fence that the Marines had |
a trife the shade against them in de- |
cisions, but even if this were the case
it merely goes to show what the Adj
vertiser has taken the liberty of sug-
costing before, that two umpires are
needed for the fast style of ball that
they are putting up at the Athletic
Park.
No umpire is perfect and people will
overlook any number of errors by the
players but, if the umpire makes the
slightest slip, Biff and off they go in
bowls. With one umpire for bases and
one for balls an entire stop would
be put to any unpleasantness of the
kind
There were several remarkably bril-
liant plays yesterday and two of the
double kind that are worth recording.
In the seventh inning of the second
game the Japs had a man on third
and only one down. Walker knocked
hot drive to Lang Akana at center
field and the latter sent it back in
time to get the base runner out at
the plate. Tt was sweet throw and
made loud hit with the fans.
Then in the eighth the Japs had
the bases full with only one down.
Zerbe sent hot, low drive right past
first but Clement Akina was standing
there and, as the base runners all start
ed to romp as soon as they saw the
drive, Akina having caught the batter
out, touched the bag, putting the first
baserunner out and making a very
pretty unassisted double play.
Hard Luck for Sing Chong.
Sing Chong was sure the hard luck
kid yesterday. He is debited with five
errors and yet he really played the
game of his life. He has three put
outs and four assists. which show that
he must have been Johnny at the soup
tureen, but it just happened that most
of the balls he had to stop were very
hard ones The last one, which let
in the winning run, was beautifully
scooped but the throw was a little off
the plate.
Augie Dreier made a very brilliant
catch 1t looked impossible for him
to get it but he made run for it and
connected with the horsehide in some
way There were two men on bases
and, if he had not stopped the ball
there would certainly have been more
runs made.
Jack Flores was twirling a star
game when Jack Motley thought it was
about time to give the fans a chance
at the King of Spain. Bill had stage
fright for an inning but he soon calm
ed down and had the other batters
guessing for the rest of the game.
Williams Catches Well
Williams caught for Gibson The
new mag did not make his appearance,
but Williams, who really is not in
proper health to play, caught wonder
fully we'll and held Gibson nicely.
Pevton was another hard luck kid
Two of the runs made by the Beers
were traceable to easy chances missed
by him. But he batted well and play
ed sterling game after his incipient
stage fright.
George Clark, as usual, was in excel
lent form and Sheppard played his
star game. He is certainly a great
acquisition to the Boer team for he
uses his noodle at all stages and keeps
the team working well in hand.
Davis, at-center field for the Marines
was responsible for fine double play
Clark sent hot fly TO center field and
Davis caught it and sent back to see
ond in time TO catch Brannan asleep
off second
Woods, the Boer first -haseman, was
there with the goods in the field He
accepted fifteen chances and made not
a single error. he will be a star player
when he finds the ball with the bat
and can hang up few bingles for his
aam.
Long Great Swatter.
Long. the great big, fine looking
Artillervman. who was the star swatteI
for his team on Saturday, did some
great hitting yesterday for the Beers
Tour times at bat and three large
round bingles, that is certainly going
some.
Both games were up to the usual ex
cellent standard that the fans have
come to expect at the Athletic Park
The crowd was, if possible, large
than ever and there was enough en-
thusiasm everywhere to show how
thoroughly everybody was enjoying
themselves.
During the second game there wa;
4 big bunch of Chinese fans in ont
corner Of the bleaehers and it was real
ly circus to watch them. One would
have thought they were watching {
game of life and death so intensely
