worst blunder that can be made is to
disobey instruction from the bench.
This is his story:
The worst mistake that | recall
since l have been playing professional
ball was in thinking that the man-
ayers order didn't gov hen there was

a lot of times a young player disobeys
orders when he doesn't mean to do 1t
at all, but makes the break because
he believes the manager would want
him to change the play under the new
circumstances 1t was that way viii

this way. There were men on nrSt

CHICAGO LIKES
Chinese TEAM

70 Though defeated, the All-Chinese
put up a stiff argument against the
Chicago team of the United States
League in the Windy City September
az. The team on the homeward jour
ney is evidently playing great ball
and the Chicago papers spoke highly
on the work of the Honolulu players
The following is from the Chicago
Record Herald:
China's flag was lowered at Gun.
ther Park yesterday when the Ha.
waiian team of Orientals lost to the
local United States Leaguers, 8to
in a game that uncovered some bril-
liant fielding by the visitors. The
Chinese made brilliant rally in their
half Of the ninth which netted two
runs, three clean hits in a row off
Joe Bradshaw threatening to topple
that popular finger from his perch.
The rally ended when DAILY snagged
q passed third strike on Sing Hung
and threw him out at first.
Two passes and a fielder's choice
gave the Honolulu players the first
count of the game and they breezed
along until the third, when an error
and two doubles by Schall and Jant.
gen came together for a pair of runs.
Three hits and pass in the fifth
gave the Sans a commanding lead
and they added two more in the
eighth.
The Chinese players put up a stiff
argument, although they started out
poorly. Kan yen, the backstop Of
the Orientals, proved wonder at
cutting down men on bases, while the
chinks skinned the sacks like birds.
The same clubs will hook up again
to-day the scene of battle shifting to
Park. Bert Seeley, the for
mer Washington pitcher, and JIM
will be in the points for
the locals, while Luck zee and Kan
yen will be the Chinese battery.

chance instead of passing the heavy
hitter and didn't order me to pass him.
The result was a triple. If had fol.
lowed instructions the hit that tied
it never would have been made, and
the ball that was fumbled by the In.
fielder, who was playing close, would
have resulted in a double. He had
figured it correctly and safely the first
time, and if had obeyed orders we
would have won the game by two runs
instead of losing it by one. But regard
less of the result it was up to rae to
make the play the way it was 1etored.

Tore in not doing so than in the play
