Chinese ARE
ON THE HIGH
SPEED NOV

After having played some very sue
cessful ball in and around New York,
the All-Chinese baseball team is TAX
ing another swing around the Penn
svlyania wheel. And incidentally the
aggregation is making more oil sen
sation with every game. As a publIel-
tv proposition, $ the Chinese team IS
a sure winner, and through 1T Hawaii
mas had much desirable advertising.
A Reading, Pa, paper of recent date
gives the following boost to the Orlen-
tails: ..
The Chinese University baseball
team from the Hawaiian Islands
stacked 10 against the crack Boyer
town team at Iauer's Park yesterday
afternoon and gave the more than
1900 fans present one of the finest ex-
hihitions of the game ever seen IN
Reading. The Chinks ran bases Ia
Ty. Cobb fielded like Eddie Collins and
the rest of Connie Mack's biilion-dol-

points of the game as if-they were be-

ever gave Philadelphia a winning
team-the one and only Connie HIM
self. ".... IT,.
The work of the yellow men was a
big surprise to the fans. The Boyer

after the first inning, when the Berl<s
team got three counts over the rubber.
After that Foster, the Chinaman with
the American name. was alright
and allowed but five men to reach
first base in the final eight innings.
Sensational fielding and throwing
helped the foreign pitcher some.
The Berks county team used three
pitchers in attempt to stop their

rule NEEDED

The infield-fly rule applies only
when first and second bases are both
occupied, because it is only in that
case that a cinch double play can be
made With both bases occupied, and
less than two men out, smart field
ing team, but for the infield-fly rule,
could work a double play with the
greatest ease by simply trapping or
mufing the fly, thus forcing both run
ners TO advance. A quick play wottld
often force both of them, thus putting
out two men when really one should
have been retired on the play.
This condition was responsible for
the adoption of the infield fly rule, on
which the batter is declared out as
soon as he liftSAa fly ball TO an in
fielder, whether it is caught or not.
The rule relieves the force on the
other runners in case the bali is drop
ped or muffed, and so prevents a
double play of cinch nature. This
rule does not apply when only first
base is occupied, for in that case no
double play is possible if the batter
does his duty and runs out his hit. He
can always get TO first base in time
TO avoid a double play il he husties
down the line. 1t is possible, Of course.
to force the runner on first in case
the ball is trapped or muffed, but no
double play can result. =
When Harry Paulliam was president
of the National league some years. ago
he went beyond the rules and issued
private instructions to sis umpires TO
prevent the trapping of a fly ball with
q runner on first by calling the batter
out, the same as if both first and sec
ond bases were occupied. These in
structions were really illegal and they
are no longer in force. -. =.

umpires to allow the trapping or in
territorial muffing of 4 fly ball by the
infield side, Which is strictly accord
ing to the rules. If the fielders can

There are good many ring fans
in Honolulu who believe that Charley
Reilly's poor showing against Carlin

are calling for a match between Reilly

Eight tennis teams will go up from

Last year Honolulu won out by safe

The Honolulu invaders are paired
as follows for the tournament:
Roth and lizard, Castle and Lowrey,

Warren, Hoogs and Hoogs, Bockus
and Brown, Judd and Dowsett and one
other pair yet to be named.
Most of the players will go to Maui

CASTLE-LYMAN Is
OLD-TIME BATTERY
COMBINATION HERE

Next Mondays ball game between
Stanford and the Punahou Athletic
Club has been arranged primarily to
give the old-time Punahou battery,
A. L. Castle and C. B. Lyman. a
chance to once more perform on the
points. 1t was in 1904 that the Cas-
tle-Lyman, who has just graduated
from West Point with baseball hon
ors as well as a commission, was a
kid sophomore at Oahu College nine
years ago. and Castle was star who
had won his baseball at Harvard. 1t
will be interesting to see how this
ofd-time combination will work against
Stanford, and il Castle was in shape,
the cardinal batters would probably go
up against more taan they expected
The Punahou captain has been on the
sick list, however, and it is hardly
Probable that he will be in his best
pitching form.
St Louis plays Stanford at Moiliili
Saturday. and Sunday the scene shifts
to Athletic Park, where the collegians
will go against the Portuguese.

FOURTH IS WELL.
LIKED BY PUGS

II has only been in late years that
boxing promoters picked out the
Fourth of July as good date for
championship battles. The contest be
tween Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson
at Reno. Nevada, on July 4, 1910. was
the biggest event OF the kind ever held
in the country on Independence Day.
Johnson won on a knockout in the
18th round. This was the first fight
JEFF ever fought on the Fourth of July.
Johnson and Jim Flynn did the hon
oEs in 1912, when they met at Las
Vegas. Johnson won in the ninth
ronnd. when the police stopped the
battle
Ad. Wolgast has always been a
lucky fighter on the Fourth of July.

earned on that day He beat Owen

two-thirds Of the boxers are satisfied
to slide through ten rounds and get

selves or taking a chance. II the
route was twenty rounds they couldn't
afford to do that. because the chance
of losing would be greater. If they
were forced to fight every time they
got into a ring they'd develop great
fighters just the way they used to.
You can't make champion golf play

champion Marathon runners by put

The reason that nearly all OF the
good fighters are developed in the
west is that they fight long fights out
there. Big or little, the man who IS
used to the 2O-round game has an adj
vantage over the New York boxer who
only knows how to fight ten rounds.
No champion will ever be made in ten
