taken in the Chinese New Year cei-
the c. A. c. nine yester..
day afternoon defeated the Chinese
Alliance by score OF IA to rs.
The game was played at Aala
Park, and a huge crowd OF fans of
all nationalities gathered around the
field. There was representative
gathering OF prominent Chinese bus
iness men present. and on the band
stand Consul LANG and his staff
were seated. The Hawaiian band,
under the leadership of Captain Ber-
ger, played some fine selections dur
Ing the afternoon. and the music
livened things up a lot. No
The Aala Park diamond was in
good shape, and the weather was
Ideal for baseball playing. The hol-.
iday crowd that congregated around
the ground was in jovial mood. and
many a josh In the English and Chi
nese languages was passed around.
The yell-leaders were in good form
and the rooters at first did good
work. However, after while the
Alliance bunch got It SO hard from
the G. A. Cs. that they became sub.
dued.
Mayor Fern graced the bandstand
and he took the greatest interest In
the play. His Honor Is an enthusi-
astic ball fan. and he can always be
relied upon to roll up to game
whenever his duties allow him.
The beautiful cup which was pre-
sented by Consul LANG for the se-
ries, of which yesterdays game was
the first. was on exhibition, and It
was much admired by everyone.
Henry Walker umpired the game to-
the satisfaction OF everybody. An
amusing incident happened during
one stage OF the game. En- Bang
made a good hit, into the deep Aekls

watching him, cut frst base by TWEEN.
ty feet, ran to second. and then tried
| to get to third. The umpire had,
however, been watching En- Sang
from the corner of bis eye and,
much to the runners disgust, called
him out. =.
But the most pleasing part of the
whole afternoon was the sight Of
those young sons Of China all en-
gagged In an American game which
they thoroughly understood and en-
joyed. II must have brought up
strange thoughts in the minds Of the
cider men from the Celestial King
dom when they saw the young fell
lcws, and realized that here, indeed,
was. the blending of the Occident and
the Orient.
That popular player En- Sue took
a hand In the game toward the end.
and he got a round of applause as
he went up to bat. His brilliant
play against the feet nine is not for
gotten. and when he yesterday hunt
ell and made first, then stole second
and third. and got home on wild
throw. the cheers that went up were
worthy Of the feat.
Sam Hop acted as scorer. and to
sit near Samuel at such time Is a
treat. There Is little that De Hoppe
does not know about the national
game. Besides scoring, he keeps up
a running comment on the game. and
each remark Is full of wisdom. Sam
mys score book tells everything that
happens In a game. and he certainly
is a peacherino at handing out the
dope.
Apau and All Toon formed the bat
teIy for the Chinese Athletics, and
really good they were, too. 1t was
lonly toward the end of the game,
when the C. A. Cs. were SO far In the
lead, that the battery let up a little
and allowed the Alliance bunch tC
make raft OF runs. All the rest
OF the team did good work. and the
fact need be only mentioned that
every man except Alex. Asam scored
one or more runs. l.. Akana came
In over the home plate no less thar
three times. and three other mer
made two runs apiece. The rest Of
the bunch scored one each. That Il
going some In the way Of run-gct
ting, and such feat is not offer
seen.
The c. A. Cs. were too strong FOL
the younger players, and although
that sterling good player Chi Blu
caught for the youngsters, he coult
not do II all.
Akua did the twirling for the AL
lance team, but the c. A. Cs. sooI
got hold OF his curves and hit hin
merrily all over the field. Choni
Yet and Ako played real good ball
and they both scored twice; Tin Lo
cousin OF the well-known John 0
the same ilk, also showed fine form
for such young player.
The c. A. Cs. were first to bat, ant
they we're retired one, two, three II
short order. In the second half Ham
Chack scored for the Alliance. and
great yell went up from the fans,
