until the eighth. The final result was
five to three, and five straight defeats
for the Japanese giants at the finish
yesterday afternoon at Athletic Park.
The Marines piled up four runs in the
first inning. Davis accounted for three
Of them with a clean drive that gave
Fukabori the slip and went to the limit
of the right field, bringing Hayes and
CAV home and counting a three.bagger
for Davis. Tobita was responsible for
two more, allowing Davis to score on
fool stunt and Hines to beat it home
when he could have made double play.
Oh took the bench to let Tobita,
whose regular position is in left field,
distinguish himself at first, and he
did throughout one inning; then Oh re-
turned to his old stand. Tobita found
it very different proposition, guard
ing the first station, than laying out in
the field for flies. The diamond was
such busy place that it made his head
swim.
Runs Away With the Ball.
After Davis had performed his feat
with the bat, bringing two men home,
and had regained his colhposure at
third, Hines was favored with walk
and stole second. Gibson knocked the
ball to Iseda at third, and Davis tried
to beat it home. Iseda threw to Yama-
walk, and Davis was held up half way
between. Matsuda came out of the box
to support Yamawaki at the last stand,
and Nonomura, the Waseda shortstop,
and Mikami, from left field, closed in
around third to kill off Davis. Yama-
waki chased him half way back to third,
while Matsuda held down the home
plate, then tossed to Iseda, and Davis
reversed his power. Iseda romped after
1 the hard pressed Marine while Mono
mura and Mikami took his post at third.
Tobita hurried up from first toward
4 home plate to watch this forward and
back movement, and it seemed to him
that the ball was the whole object of
the chase, SO, when it happened to slip
by the catcher and confronted him on
the roll, he took this as his cue to do
something out of the ordinary-and he
did. Tobita, figuring that the bunch
would follow him wherever he went
with the ball, grabbed it and ran away
in the direction of first base, thinking
to make a touchdown before he was
mobbed. When he found that he was
having it all his own way and nobody
was on his trail, he looked around to
see why it was the boys wouldn't frolie
with him like they were doing before
he butted in. By this time it was all
over. Davis had scored, Hines was safe
on third and Gibson was half way
around the circuit.
Up in the Air Again.
The next thing that happened Dahl
cracked the leather down the first base
line, and Tobita got it not over three
feet from the sack, but instead OF
touching the base he tried to throw the
ball over the grandstand to give Yama.
walk a chance to 90 up in the air and
bring it down for an out at home plate.
Yamawak was not rugged for flight,
and Hines sauntered in for the fourth
run, while Dahl logged on to second.
Matsuda then took the situation in
hand and struck Thompson and Slorp
out Sinclair, the first man up, went
down, short to first, and the two strike
outs cut short Mr.. Tobita's reckless
career.
Disgruntled Fans Leave.
Nothing more startling happened
until the sixth, when about twenty dis
pruntled Japanese fans lost hope at
seeing Yamawah get killed off at home
plate after making the perilous circuit.
When the man was called out the dis
appointed ones rose in a body and filed
out Of the main entrance to the park,
while a bunch of Marine rooters jeered
them as they passed by. There was
some holler about Chillingworth' de-
cision, declaring Yamawaki out, but
those who saw the play had no criti-
cisms to make. Hara was retired, third
to first. Then Yamawaki waited for
a walk and stole second. Iseda swatted
the missile to the Marine shortstop, and
got to second base while Cav fumbled
and threw home. Yamawaki saw the
ball coming and tried to slide In, but
Sinclair tagged him and he came to a
stop foot away from the plate. The
diseruntled ones then left the bleach
ers and lined up in front, hoping against
hope that the next man might do the
impossible, but Fukabori threw them
into despair with grounder to first
which put him out of the running
Marines Score Again.
The Marines scored one more in their
half of the sixth. Hines shot ground

reached second. Gibson hit the ball to
third, and Hines covered the trail from
second while Iseda threw to Oh, retiring
Gibson at first Then Dahl knocked a
fly out to right field. Fukabori mis-

down on the turn, while Hines came
home. Fukabori threw to second, but
Hara fumbled and Dahl made two
bases. Thompson few out to Mono

an out, second to first.
wasedas Find Two.
Neither side accomplished anything
in the seventh session, and the eighth
started with the Marines Ave 10 the
good and the Wasedas bemoaninR a big
zero. The line of goose eggs on their
score card spurred them into action,
with only two more chances to score,
and they got their machine movement
