In Game Won by Chinese Over
the italian A. C.,.8 to 6
WEAFERl PITCHED WELL
Visiting Fielders Pulled Off Some Good
Performances, But They Were Weak
on First Base--Game Gave Series
to the Celestials.

Witt, the light haired shortstop, stag.
gered with two blow outs, in the ninth
inning, the smooth-running machine OF
the Italian A. c., which was progressing
down the final stretch against the Chi
nese team, with Joe Weaferi doing adj
mirable work at the steering gear. The
blow.outs brought the local machine to
| standstill and allowed the Chinese to
pass, giving two-run lead, which the
local ball team could not overcome
score, to 8.
| Weaferi had not been scored on for
four innings previous to the last inning,
and when the celestials stepped to the
plate for their farewell raps there seemed
to be little chance for their batting
out victory. At this time the !, A. G.
| commanded the outcome with 6 to
option. Sing Hung, the first man up,
rolled one down to Witt, who. booted.
Weaferi then hit A, Akana. With men
on first and second l.. Tin beefed clean
bang to right field. Madini returned the
ball in quick time to home, but Sing
Hung breezed in second ahead. The
score was now tied and the visitors had
men lodged on the second and last cush-
ions. Witt then handed the orientals the
game, both basemen tallying when he
fell on A. Asam's grounder.
The |. A. c., bent on victory, opened
the last lap for vindication. Comolli
slammed one to his liking into deep left
center. The big catcher then pulled off
moves that would have discredited a
grammar school boy. Witt drove rain
bow. which was caught by the~Chinese
right fielder about 10 feet from the fence
in that field Comolli went to sleep and
stood about half way between home and
third while the ball was being caught.
Another poor play came minute later,
when he attempted to steal home. Ma
DIM was at bat, with two strikes ON him.
Luck Yec had made his delivery and as
Comolli would have been tagged stand
ing, there was no alternative for Ma
DIM other than to biint. The ball fell
unfair, and after the officials spent few
minutes coming the statutes of the game
Madini was declared out and Comolli
was sent back to third Here was a
splendid chance for rally spoiled.
BY taking the game, the Chinese team
won the series, making il three out of
the FIVE games. The game was of a.
loose nature, but nevertheless as many
