Victory Of All Chinese Over
Norwalk Team.

Hawaii s All.Chincse ball team added
further laurols to their string of vic
tories at Norwalk, New Jersey, July
IL, when they defeated the home team
by score Of s to 0. In s.
Following is an account of the game
from the Norwalk Hour:
Perfect team work, scientific hitting
and spectacular baserunning on the
part of the Chinese college team from
Honolulu, shut out the Norwalks at
Amusement Park, Saturday afternoon,
before crowd of three thousand peo'
pie. The score was SO.
The locals made good start, only
three men facing Finn in the first in
ming. Apau, the big Celestial pitcher,
however, duplicated Finn s stunt. He
used a peculiar underhand delivery at
times that puzzled the local batsmen,
and they seemed unable to hit it safe
ly. Apau varied his delivery by throw
ing an occasional "spitter" and by
shooting a straight one overland so
swiftly that it was in the catcher s init
before the batter could swing at it.
Kan Yen opened the second by lean.
ing on one of Finn Is pet inshoots for
two bags. Lai went out on a fly to
Reilly. Mark reached first on Brascl s
tumble. and Kan Yen went to third
on Finn = bad throw to Reilly.
Foster made scratch, forcing Mark
out, Herbeck to Reilly. Foster then
drew a throw at second, allowing Kan
Yen to score.
Apau drew deadhead, and Foster
attempted to steal third, but was
thrown out, Kerr to Herbeck.
In the last of the second it looked
es if the Celcstials were going to make
balloon ascent. Laid slammed a swift
liner to Lai, whichS that gentleman
jumped about two feet for and spcared
with one hand. The force of the drive
almost knocked him over, but he held
it. Whitehouse then popped an easy
fly to Akau, who, after fumbling il
for about ten seconds, allowed it to
drop. Keene, who was up next, was
induced to hit a splitter with all his
might. II went up in the infeld about
a hundred feet, and Keene with a dis
gusted grunt flung down his bat and
started toward the bench, WhitehousC
hugging the first bag. Apau dcliber
ately muffed the fly, and Whitehoust
started on a mad race for second. In
flash Ayau, who was backing up Apau
picked up the ball and slammed it tC
Kan Yen, who threw to Foster, doub
ling Keene and Whiteh0use and retir
ing the side.
The third opened with Ping Kong up
| He hit safely and went to second OF
Brasel s tumble of Ayau s grounder.
Ensue and Akana both hit safely
Finn threw wild to first in an attempt
/ to catch Akana, and in the resultan
wild throws Ayau and Ensue scored.
Kan Iens hitting was a feature o
the game, the Celestial second basemai
having two bagger in the second, I
home run in the fifth, three'bagge
in the seventh and single in the nintl
to his credit.
Hi Ladd was responsible for two o
the three hits credited to the hom'
| team. Iii singled in the fourth anC
made good for two stations in the sew
enth, but his teammates were unabl
/ to connect with the "Confusian de
| livery of the Celestial mound artist an'
! Hi died at second. Brascl found on
that suited him in the eighth, but thu
next three men up were unable to plac
safe one.
The base running of the visitors wa
phenomenal, and the manner in whicl
they beat out hunts brought cheer afte
cheer from the fans.
After the game, however, many of tn
fans seemed well satisfied with Thu
work of the locals in holding the visit
