! players upset the OFFENDING bench
with very bad grace and it was moved
little way from that set apart for
the players. The Japanese committee
before mentioned had marked this
bench for their own use.
The management seemed to be in no
hurry for the game to start, nor did
they seem to have any power to stop
the disputes and chickering's which
were constantly arising. Theirs was
pitiable display of childish inef.
ftciency.
Two of the so-called magnates
strolled up and down in front of the
grandstand, enjoying the admiration
of the crowd and speaking an occas-
ional word to one or a group of the
chattering players. meanwhile the
minutes flew and the crowd grew more
and more impatient, till their dissat-
isfaction at the delay was expressed
by a resounding chorus of play ball"
Umpires Facilitating.
The umpires must stand their share
of criticism. They fooled and fumbled
with various situations which arose
during the game and the Japs took adj
vantage of their vacillating attitude by
behavior which would have brought
about summary punishment at the
hands of mainland umpire. They
paid little or no attention to the rule
that coaches must stand behind a pre-
scribed line, and in one case an UNI
pire was jeered at and insulted by
member Of the "gentlemanly" Keio
baseball aggregation.
The one redeeming feature of the
afternoon, apart from the splendid
playing of the Chinese, was the con-
duct of the police, especially the
ball official is reported to have angrily
called down an officer who was keep
ing a bowling mob of Japanese back
from the players reservation, because,
forsooth, the officer, though wearing a
badge, was in plain clothes. Later on
in the game he is said to have rebuked
captain of police for interfering"
with some tumultous Japs and to have
been told to mind his own business,
Hard Police Problem.
Sheriff Jarrett stated this morning
that the Japanese-C Chinese games were
serious problem for the police to
handle In the two games played al
most every man on the force has been
detailed to the ground, and the sheriff
is of the opinion that, with feeling be-
as it does at present, blooushed is
more than likely. He will probably is

ing the rest of the series the games
will be instantly stopped on the slight
est sign of rowdiness, ill-feeling or dis

He might also arrest all persons
found betting on the ground. Large
sums were wagered on yesterday
game and regular commission agents
of both parties circulated among the
crowd outside the grandstand, giving
and taking odds to amounts of various
sizes.
The Game.

particular stars of the game. At the

signs of going to pieces. He came
back wonderfully, however, and got
better and better as the innings wore
on.
The Chinese scored in the first in
ming L. Tin was passed to first and
Akana scored him with a three-bag
ger, the ball mixing up with the autos
at the far end of the ground.
The Keios annexed a brace in the
third Sasaki hit by the pitcher, prom
enaded. Kanki hit to right and went
to first. Miyake persisted at first and
Sasah came in on the play. Kanki
scored on a wild pitch.
The great show occurred in the sec

good as a three-ring circus.
Apau walked. En- Sue picked out q
nice one, sending Apau to third
Akana made first and Apau and Ell
Sue both romped home. Che Bui hit
to right, scoring Akana, and Asam
hefted a three-sacker, which sent Che
