BY LAURENCE REDINeToN.

All sorts of baseball for your money
at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon.
Some Of II was good some of II was
new, and all of II was amusing. That
is. all but the usual trCsomc walt for
the first game to begin. Take, for ex-
ample, the inside half of Barney
Joy and Haole Sumner when they
tried a double steal in the ninth. with
no one gone and the Stars three runs
to the bad Hughcy Fullerton should
have been on hand to immortalzc that
play. Then. just because there wasn't
a ball knocked over the fence in fair
territory all last season, the trick was
turned twice yesterday, to remind the
fans that clean humcrs are a posi-
bility on tho local lot Barney JOY
started 1t, polling a beauty over tho
right field barrier In the NTH of the
opener. Hampton duplicated for the
j. a. Cs. In the opening spasm Of their
game against the Asahis II may be
another year before another homer Is
Knocked, but those who saw the two
balls fly away yesterday are in no
danger Of forgetting what a four bag
ger looks like.

OF connecting with the shoots and

frames, When Kibbcy went In, how
ever, things frightened up consider
ably, and the Stars had several chances
to tie the score, which they failed to
take advantage Of Reeve was out In
the fourth for not touching third, when
kihbey's drive brought him home. and

trying to score on Burns smashing hit
TO right, being thrown out at the plate
when the bail was recovered The
coacher should have thrown and hog
tied him rather than let him start from
the third station If these two runs
had scored, the Stars would have had
a run the best of IL at the end of the
eighth, and the moral effect OF tho
lead might well have won the game
for them.
Serappy Game.
1t was lively contest for the in
dictator holders, Armstrong and Bet
tencourt standing Off the bowling mob
on more than one occasion. In the
! seventh, for instance, Barney Joy was
allowed to come in from third when
a throw from the outiield got in among
the row of posts that does duty for a
| fence in front of the bleaChcrs There
| Is II ground rule that a ball that gets
| by the posts shall be considered as in
the stand, and runners shall he cnti-
tied to one base. When this rule was
pointed out to Armstrong by half a
dozen bowling Indians he very rightly
waved Barney in, but the time of cx-
PLANTATION was strenuous.
The batting of Barney Joy was tho
real feature Of the game. He got four
hts, one of them the famous homer,
out Of five times up, and got life on u
helder's choice the other time. Barney
was lamming the first ball pitched, be-
fore Bushnell had time to tighten up.
ana this style of slam-ban smuggling
was most effective. Barney has seven
hits out of thirteen times at bat dur
Ing the season to date, which Is going
some for slabster. Bushnell pitched
a nice game for the Portuguese. but
he was lucky to win at that, for he
was hit pretty frequently, and the bin
giles usually came n brace to frame.
The second was the fatal inning for
the stars, Mr. Williams offerings be-
Ing much to the POrtuguese's liking.
Eleven batters faced him in this
tspasm, and six hits for five runs were
the lamcntablc result. Kibbey stcercd
the wrecked ship like veteran from
the third on He fielded his position
well, too.
Asahis Can't Hit.
The Asahis put up as pretty field.
Ing exhibition as any fan could ash;
for In their game against the J. A. Cs,
ana they ran bases cleverly, but they
couldn't bit hard enough to put rab
bit down for the count For five in
hihgs they couldn't get one into safe
territory, and the three that they were
finally credited with were of the scratch
variety, depending very much on
whether the scorer had Indigestion ms
TO whether he chalkcd them up as hits
or errors. A fast team are the Asa
ms, and they're all for business anf
therefore popular with the fans, but
| VI they want In vain np,s At.
