brated the Irish national holiday yes
terday with an exhibition OF the
American national game, given by an
AIl-Chinese team. About seventeen
other nationalities witnessed the con-
test. Truly il was a representative
gathering OF the nations.
The Twenty-fifth team came down
from Leilehua to prove that its vic
tory over the Chinese ten days ago
was no fluke. The Chinese went ON
the field To prove that If they went
at il from the first, they could pulver-
lie the colored soldiers. Events proved
that the Chinese dope was the correct
brand.
The fate of the Twenty-fifth was
settled by its lanky pitcher. Water
house, who had the OrieDtals at his
mercy in the first game. The Chinese
had II in for Mr.. Warehouse. and
the only reason they didn't hit him
more was because he seldom gave
them a chance. He was unsteady. and
from the first inning II could be
seen that he lacked confidence. Had
Warehouse been yanked out as soon
as the balloon began Juggling at the
ropes. and Scott substituted. the result
might have been different. At any
rate the game would have been much
closer. But Manager Saunders end
the members of the team were expect
ing Waterhouse to steady down, and
when il became apparent that nothing
of the kind could be expected, the
damage had been done and the game
was gone beyond hope of redemption.
Scott Classy
The soldiers uncovered find when
Scott was called in from the center
garden TO do the flinging. Like real
prima donna, Scott had to have his
own accompanist. SO Jackson turned
over mask and mitt to Cross. who
caught the rest of the game in good
style. Scott and Cross made for
midable battery. the latter having ten
strikeouts to his credit in the seven
innings which he pitched.
A feature of the game was the good
umDiring, and businesslike way N
which the game was conducted. Cap.
tain Norris Stayton. OF the coast ar
tillery corps, made his initial appear
ance here as baseball arbitrator and
he certainly delivered the real goods.
After watching him work for IN in

know baseball that Captain Stayton
was no novice behind the mask. IT de

game.
Denny Markham made his initial APP
pearance with his new team mates,
holding down the keystone station.
He was a little strange in this posi-
ton, and chalked up couple OF err

The Chinese made run in the first
inning, and three each in the second
and third. Only two hits figured in
these seven tallies.
The lone Soldier run came across in
the sixth, when Ramsay hit safely

infield error, and scored on a bad peg
