break, with the deciding game To
come off Tuesday afternoon.
The fourth inning practically sewed

\ fourth put an end to the run getting.
: From then on the game was rather
/ tame although there were some
sharp bits of fielding which got a
good hand.
George Dunn, Mauiite who is at
tending st. Louis college, did the
flinging for the visitors. and made a
good Job of II although he walked
men with somewhat disconcerting
frequency. However, the Japanese got
only three scattered hits off his de.

the strike-out route~ Four OF these
came in row in the seventh and
eighth innings. r. Moriyama was al
most as stingy with his hits, holding

back for. first, the ball following him
then being returned to second, who

handling.
The fourth spelled defeat for the
Japanese, although the inning opened

glove. Bal. however, landed for a
terrific drive along the left foul line,
