Mainland Campaign Makes
Great Team Of All Chinese
Clean, Fast Work Developed and Much "nside" Ball Is
Learned-Apau Had Benefit of Ed Walshs Coaching

fact that although he pitched three
of four games week all through the
countrywide tour, he came back
weighing 176 pounds and apparently
stronger and faster than ever.
Apau got the benefit of some fine
coaching from great pitchers on the
trip. At Chicago he met the greatest
spit-ball pitcher in the game, Ed
Walsh, the big Reel of the Chicago
White Sox, and Walsh taught him
| the principle of the famous "spit-
ter" Apau used his splitter a good
deal on Saturday. He has fair spit
ball and is fast mastering it. When
he shoots it over fast, il has the de-
ceptiye break that no batman can hit
consistently, but his slow splitter
still needs Improvement.
In other respects Apau is much bet
ter than when he left. He doesn't take
an inning or two to get warmed up
any more. Right from the start he
can pitch good ball. He is not a
strike-out artist, but the batters find
IL very hard to hit him safe. He has
IA good change of face. Three of the
six hits on Saturday were scratches,
and no one was met squarely. He
works the corners of the plate in
good shape and most of the hits are
easy grounders or slow flies that are
no trouble to field.
Kan Yen is going to be a sensa-
tional catcher il he keeps up the kind
of form he showed Saturday. He has
developed an easy swing. that sends
the ball across the diamond like a
shot and he threw out several rum
ners Saturday
Apau on the offense, the team is
mighty strong. Then of course the"
boys weren't up against much in the
pitching line last Saturday, for Will
liams didn't get his best balls to work
ing, but the Chinese are batting hard.
against any kind of pitching. They
meet the ball square on the nose and,
1t has the right kind of ring as il
leaves the bat. They run bases with
judgment and show the effects Of
their games against mainland teams.
The Chinese have learned d great
deal from this mainland trip and are
bound to be big baseball attraction
here.

II is a wellhalanced team. The

The fielding of the Chinese was
superb last Saturday. the Unfolding

ALL Chinese in
OVERWHELMING
VICTORY
. - $50 -
Run Up Seventeen Runs on Ha-
waits in First Appearance
After LONG Trip

H. q .- T I - 5 feF
Slamming the hall hard and taking
advantage of many misplays by theil
opponents, the All-Chinese team made
its first appearance since that record
breaking mainland trip in a game
with the Hawaiis Saturday afternoon
the Chinese, running up seventeen
runs to a lonely tally for the Ha
walls.
This lonely tally was really un
earned. Umpire Walker called a balk
on Pitcher Apau in the first inning
letting w. Desha walk home rom
third. The decision is discussed else.
where In the opinion. OF. many Close
followers of baseball and of the .scor
ing rules, the balk should not have
been called At any rate, it saved
the Hawaiias from shutout. They
never had another chance to circle
the sacks. .sssstss II
The story of the game IS simply
one of hard hitting and fast fielding
by the Chinese and weak hitting and
generally loose playing by the Ha'
walls. The Hawaii lads really are
capable of much better ball than they
showed last Saturday but they were
unfortunate in having the breaks
against them. Without detracting
from the great playing of the Chi,
nese, it should be said that the Ha
vail boys failed to do themselves JUS
tice. 49,
The Chinese were first at bat and
started off at a fast clip. Pitcher
Williams began shooting last ones
across the plate and the Chinese took
kindly to his offerings. Ayau first
up. doubled to left, went to third on
a bad throweto catch him at second
and Captain Albert Axana came
through with ringing double to right
center. Akana scored on a ball thai
got through Catcher Raphael. Two
runs. ~
The Hawaii's lone tally came in this
inning also. w. Desha walked and
went to second on a wild pitch, con-
tinuing to third on a poor throw to
get him at second. With A. Desha at
bat, Apau, the Chinese twirler, made
a sudden step toward third, whirled
and shot the ball to first to catch
Mcintyre, who had walked. Umpire
Walker called the motion a balk and
w. Desha was allowed to score. A
pig howl went up from the Chinese
but his Jumps stood firm and the run
counted. That was all the scoring for
the Hawaiis.
The Chinese came back IN the
third with three more runs, Lai Tin
getting first on Frances error and
scoring from second on Kan Yen's
hit to left. L. Akana walked and
Asam scored Kan Yen with a hit to
third. Apau hit. through Franco,
scoring Asam. Chillingworth ended
the inning with a good catch Of
Ayau's hard liner. r
In the fifth Lai Tin hit through
short and Kan Yen got a life when
w. Desha dropped his fly. 1t was
ridiculous error. Lai Tin tore to sec
Ond on the wild throw that Desha fol.
lowed with and then continued to
third, going home on an error. L
Akana followed with a corking three
base hit that dropped almost at the
fence and Asam scored
him with a hit to D. Desha, who
fumbled the ball. Errors around the

Much interest is being aroused in
a match race to and around Bird
Island to be sailed between the yaWl
Mollilou and the yacht Hawaii.
Kenneth Brown will handle the
Hawaii, and F. B. Smith the Mollilou.
On account of the difference in length
measurements of the two crafts, the
Hawaii will allow the Mollilou forty
four minutes and twelve seconds. A
short time ago the Mallilou put up a
great race against the fast yacht
Kamehameha in the two races to
and from Kahului and many are con-
fident that she will do the same to
the Hawaii.
Both shippers are experienced sail
ors, and place the greatest confidence
in their crafts.
