THIRTEEN FEET OF BATTERY
WORK FOR ALL-ARTILLERY
(From Monday Advertiser)


play baseball on had much to do to-
ward spelling what should have been
a couple of good exhibitions of the
national pastime at Athletic Park yes
terday afternoon.
With the ball park a sea of mud and
sawdust the Portuguese Athletic Club
hung the Indian sign on the Asahis by
a score of 8 to 0 in the introduction
and the Hawaiis beat the All-Artillefy
in the closing seance by n score of
to 4.
In the opener, two innings put the
Asahis out of the running, for in those
two innings the =. A. G.. outfit made
all their runs. Boots, boobies, bone
head plays, wild pitching and general
all-round ground and lofty tumbling
assisted the p. A. c. team in sending
five runs over in the second, and
repetition of the same conditions gave
them four more in the third. After
that the Asahis took brace and played
good baseball, but the damage had
been done.
For Paresa's outfit il was Tony Me.
deiros who did the heaving, and he
was all to the good, allowing four seat
tered hits throughout the game, and
with the good hitting of his teammates
and clever stunts of fielding here and
there, had little trouble winning.
Thirteen Feet of Battery. ...,.
The closing game of the double header
found Lawson and Smith at the points
for the All-Artillery and Willis and
Raphael for the Hawaiis. Lawson did
nicely for two innings and then he
slipped. Two hits, one man hit by
pitcher and long sacrifice fly gave
the Hawaiis two runs in the third in.

Verify Randall and Kick make about
the longest battery in the world, not
barring Falkenberg and Bemis of
Cleveland, who are rated the biggest
and tallest men in the major leagues
And what speed this fellow Randall
had! Had he taken up the burdens
earlier in the game there would have
been different story to tell.
Neither game was as peppery as the
one the Hawaiis and Asahis played a
week ago. Lyman Raphael started an
argument or two without just cause,
but was soon subdued by the jumps.
New Men on Both Teams.
Several new men graced the lineup
of the two teams. Willis did the pitch
ing for the Hawaiis. Not the Willis
who played second base for them a
week ago. This Willis changed his
name to Laib and went to left field.
The Willis who pitched used to be a
sergeant in Captain Stayton s company
and was recommended to the Hawaiis
by the captain, and the Recommendation
was good one. Willis has all the
earmarks of a pitcher and did his work
well on the mound.
Hinkley was another new man to
the fans and he held down first base
in good style for the soldiers and laced
out couple of hits in big league style.
Smith, who caught the early part of
the game, did well, and so did Howard,
who replaced Clark.
In passing it might be suggested to
tine players of the Hawaii team that
they patronize IIeinie Raphael and he
likewise patronize himself, and each of
them buy pair of garters for the
stockings which they wear have a
strong tendency to go downward and
get tangled around the ankles Of the
speeding ball players.
