The Chinese ball team which made
Il trip to Maui to play the crack teams
on that island has finished It's series
and will return Saturday morning.
The trip was success, as the team
won three out Of four games played
on the Valley Island.
The first game was played last Sat
urday at Kahului. against picked
team Of that town. and the visitors
gave the home team a dose Of white-
wash, so much dreaded by baseball
teams. The score of the first days
game was so In favor Of the Orientals.
The crowd present at the game was
good sized one. Captain Alec Asam
and All Lin formed the battery for the
Chinese; Foster Robinson and Sam
kalea for kahului.
The following dav, Sunday, much
larger crowd attended the ball game
at Kahului between the Chinese and
All Maui mines. They had reason for
turning out In force. II was to see the
visitors get beating--and they were
not disappointed. The All-Chinese lost
TO the Valley Islanders by $40 after
an exciting struggle.
The japanese ball fans flocked to the
grounds In large numbers the same
afternoon to see their native nine GO
down In defeat at the hands of the Wis
itors to the tune of 1874. 1t was an
awful beating which they received from
the Ceiestials. and II was administer
ed Just to show the Nipponese that
they could never come up to the Keio
class of ball tossers.
This All-Japanese- Chinese game took
place fifteen minutes after the first
one, which was hard on the visiting
team, but It got into the game with
new life after losing the first and
trimmed the local Japanese team.

men from the Land of the Rising Sun

and Assam put into the box In his stead

Sunday. between the Nipponese and

with all kinds OF mishaps. 1t looked
as though there was war between ia
