DRAGGED IN !.
THE DUST
Barney Joy & Co. Turn Trick
at Athletic Park in a
Ragged Game


Sam Hops troupe OF diamond per
formers grabbed their own act yesler
day by booting and sluffing of the
last game but one of their home sea
son. Barney Joy and the ST. Louis
stars annexed 6 to | mis-exhibitior
OF the international pastime, and die
the annexing with out even extending
themselves.
The Chinese crowded more bad base
ball and more hard luck into the first
three innings than they have shown
during the fourteen games since they
returned, confident and successful
from their long mainland tour. The
hard luck pursued them right through
yesterdays game-it could hardly be
called a contest-but to the credit oil
the Sam Hoppers be II said that
after letting the joyous JOYS get a
four-run lead, they settled down and
Played like fiends. Even III their field
ing and batting WIS off color, their
aggressiveness and courage came TO
the front during the final innings, and
they were fighting hard at the end.
But Joy and his mates played better
baseball and deserved to win. In fact.
the ST. Louis nine cavorted around
in manner that gives them the right
tc the title of all-stars If they want
to use It. Joy was in mighty good
form, that deceptive left-handed out
drop working to perfection, and often
he swung the third strike over so
neatly that the Chinese let Ii go by
for ball.
Apan was as wild as a Ute on the
waTpath, and the umpiring didn't help
him any. The man who called the
balls and strikes is named Dobsky and
his umpiring was a good deal worse
than that ApaI's bah kept falling
of the corners and both he and Joy
suffered. for Dobsky was not partial,
though his lamps needed trimming.
Apau Easy.
Apau got his teammates in trouble
from the start and kept them there
by walking good many batsmen.
Then the fielding behind him was
ragged and the hitting weak against
Iarney's fine pitching. Added to this
sthere was bad piece Of coaching at
third that tossed of certain run,
there was bad judgment in handling
ground balls, and in fact that there
was of color visible throughout. No
wonder the Chinese succumbed,
To start with, Apau walked MORT
yama and Bushnell and Barney fool
ed the fiefders by driving hit through
third. L Akana in LEFT fooled the
ball as It came bounding merrily along,
and then he came through with a peg
toward the plate that was a thousand
dollar peg for speed and carrying
power and a ten-cent peg for direc-
ton. It bumped up against the grand
stand and two scored. La Mere drove
a long fly to deep left. SO long that
JOY was able to score from third even
with throw, this time a good one.
from Lee Akana. Three runs.
Moriyama out in center nipped ce-
lestial hope that same inning when he
caught Lai Tin trying to make third
on an overthrow to second from the
catcher.
In the second inning after the Chi
nese had blanked the Louies, I4ai Tin
tossed off a run. He was coaching
back of third and Kan Yen drove a
terrific high liner to deep left, far
over Bushnell's head. Kan Yen easily
made third but Lai Tin tried to send
him home on the throw-in and the re-
lay to the plate beat the runner by
twenty feet He was the first man up
and would have almost surely scored
from third on a later play.
The Louies got another in the third,

second on Ayau's error, third on
wild throw to second base and trotted
home when La Mere hit grounder
that trickled through KauliPs legs.
Brace Too Late.
After this the Hops played good
ball, but no-better than Joys men.
Hard as the Chinese would slam the
pellet, there was always a Saint out
there to get it, Chiilingworth making
some grand plays Finally in the last
OF the sixth En- Sue scored from sec
ond, with two out, when Lai Tin tore
a sereamer through third.
In the ninth the st. Louis team
snapped up couple more. Chilling
worth got lucky hit, Bushnell hit to
right and everybody was safe when
Joy hit to first and Akana tried in
vain to throw Bush out at second, the
ball either hitting the runner or get
ting away from Ayau. Chillingworth
scored and Bushnell scored little la
ter on 0rnellas' hit to Ayau. The Chi
nese tried hard in their half but there
was nothing doing.
