A two-base hit by Summer and Hamp-
ton g three-bagger, which brought Sum.
ner home, broke the deadlock in the
seventeenth inning, and the Oahu Col
lege Alumni team brought the Wasedas
down to their second defeat in the Ath-
letic Park series yesterday afternoon.
1t was half-past six, the sun was get
ting low, the outs were coming along
with mechanical rhythm, and it looked
as though no one was going to slip a
cog, when, with Lota and Whine down,
Sumner, the Oahu College right fielder,
came up for 0mura's handout. He
swung the hickory and took the ball by
surprise. The leather made a successful
flight out to deep left field before Mi
kami could connect with it, and Sumner
got around to second base. Then Hamp-
ton took q whack at it, and sent the
ball sLying over the center fielder 8
head. Ogawa lit out on its trail, but
the fly was headed straight for the
score board to tally Summers run, and,
although Ogawa reached, the ball was
not there and Hampton ended up at
fra nit
to first, and Summers lone run saved
the day. Ogawa was put out, second
to first. ana Iseda and Oh struck out
for their share of the seventeenth
inning.
The grandstand went wild with de-
light, while a gloom lowered over the
left-hand bleachers and the Wasedas
moped away from the scene of their
defeat with disappointment weighing
heavily upon them. They had succeed
ed in holding down one of the strong
est teams that could be found for six
teen innings, and to lose the game by
one run then seemed far worse to them
than to have gone down under the enc
my's superiority.
Three times Bill Desha got to third
base with two out and Akina at bat,
first while Desha was beating it in for
q tally.
Castle Strong in Box.
AL Castle pitched heady game, fan
ming seventeen Waseda batters, and he
never granted walk. He would slip
a couple over the plate in rapid sue
cession now and then. Sometimes the
batter swung and the ball WASH t there.
The catcher had it before the club got
around to where it had cut the at
mosphere. Castle only had it on Omura,
however, bv a trio. The Waseda twirler
worked the sleight-of-hand fourteen
times on the alumni hitters, but he
walked three men. The game was most
ly a pitchers battle. What fielding
there was appeared little ragged, with
brilliant plays in spots. In the fifth
inning F'ukabori strayed too far from
third and the whole alumni nine mobbed
him, but he ducked through the bunch
and slid onto the sack. Winnie held
onto the ball during the mixup. One
Jap travelled all the way to first while
Akina was paving over the leather and
doing a Maypole dance around it. No
nomura, the Waseda shortstop, was not
up to form. Two or three times he
fnmbled and played with the ball be-
fore passing it to Burns and an Oahu
man arrived safe at the first station
Lota went through massed play, slid
ing to second in the tenth while tia
Wasedas were toying with the leather.
Winnie and Yamawaki both caught
some difficult fouls up against the
grandstand. Whine missed a straight
up in the air fly which bounced off his
nit in front of home plate before he
could close in on it. Sumner was all
oyer right field chasing flies. He gath.
cred them in on the run and never
missed one.
Ball Rolls to Third.
One ball rolled leisurely along the
third-base line while Hampton stopped
over to scoop it. The bali passed on,
giving Hampton the slip, and lodged un.
der the edge of the bag. Hampton went
back and dug it out while the Waseda
batter went ON his way. Henry Chill
lingworth was right onto his job with
full knowledge Of all the technical
rules. Hampton crossed the plate while
omura was in the box and Henry de-
clared him out. Twice he piped up
