Oh pitched the game away for the
Wasedas and the Portuguese walked oil
with shut.out Q to Q at Athletic Park
yesterday afternoon. The Japanese
giant, the strong arm twirler and main
stay of the university team at first
base who never let's bali fly over him
or under him, went all to the bad.
When he did get them over the plate
they topped everything except the
grandstand, and it was one promenade
for the BOYS in blue. They just sailed
around like fleet of Portuguese mem
of-war on pleasure cruise. They
ooped the loop nine times with only
three intermissions. OF walked eight
men and wounded two with the ball,
and when the Portuguese felt like
swinging the club for a little exercise
they pounded the ball over the field.

Change Batting Style.
The Wasedas have been Forced to
change their style of batting aud they
have not gotten so they can place the
| ball as yet, but have improved good
deal on the hitting since their series
here started. They had all the local
teams guessing at first with their bunts
but in the second game that each local
nine played them they were not allow
ed to perpetrate the same stunts again.
The first and third basemen would run
in on the batters while second and

ones. At first the visitors made the
home PLAYERS look foolish galoping
around the diamond on the trail of
little ball that was just rolling about

willy Wasedas were beating it over
the circuit and slipping in runs. When
the Oahuans got wise on how to handle
these teasers by getting them before
they commenced to wabble and stopped
sprawling all over the diamond for
touchdowns to make sure they had got
ten hold on the sphere, then the chances
of the invaders became hopeless and
hey we're forced to get active with the
big stick. Now they are getting onto
the swing and are better able to give
the outfelders a merry chase. Their
teamwork is better than the locals were
liable to put up on the start, and in this
respect the home mines have developed

Right on Their Jobs.
The men are right there on their
Jobs when there is anything doing and
are quick and alert to every advantage.
They have pulled out with a pretty
good showing considering their stand
ing in batting averages, compared with
the local teams. With only one man
in the three hundred class and a couple
over the two hundred limit they have
been holding down batters who hit up
to four and five hundred in the Oahu
and Military league games. They have
won four and lost eight of the twelve
games in the regular series which puts
them down next to last in the team
standings, but they have played great
many more games than any of the 9th
ers. and have not been given a chance

championship of the Oahu league.
In the entire series, including the
military and navy matches, the Vase.
das have won six and lost eleven of
seventeen games.
