The among those not present
list was the real feature OF yester-
days brace of games at Athletic Park
Both the Stars and the Hawaiis were
shy some Of the regulars, who have
decided to jump the Oahu League. to
play a game or two Of outside Sun
day baseball. The Stars were minus
their captain and star finger, Barney
Joy, and their crack first sacker,
Albert Akana, while the unfortunate
hawaiis, already well cleaned by the
dragnet OF Guy Green, lined up with
out Raphael, Franco and Hampton.
There are wheels within wheels In
this controversy between these play
ers and the Oahu League, and the
former undoubtedly have the right to
withdraw and form any sort OF COM
bination they have mind to. On the
other hand, the league has every
right to put them on the black list for
so doing, and In fact, this Is the
only possible way in which 1t can
hope to keep it's ranks together. That
the fans are back Of the league In its
attempts TO give the public some
semblance Of organized ball. was in
dictated by the good natured way In
which they took the patchwork line
up Of both teams In the opened yes
terday.
Kibbey did the flinging for the
Stars. while Hardee was given a try
out on the hill for the Hawaiis, He
was very tight for five innings, three
scattered singles being the amount
of the damage done to his delivery,
but In the sixth the Stars found him
for three singles and double, and
these bingles, coupled with q pass
and an error, accounted for four runs.
The Hawaiis came hack in the seventh
with a lone run, three passes and a
wild pitch letting in run without
q lift. Kibbey pitched q nice game,
allowing only four hits,s two OF which
came in the first frame. before he
got his sights down.
Asahls HIt Stride
The Asahi batters handled the pro-
jectiIes Of the Coast Defense bat
terry like Japanese jugglers in a
circus. and when It was all over
Manager Abe's team was on the long
end Of 10 70 scoro. A onessidod
: win of this sort Is something of a
novelty for the Asahis, and the Jap
anese section Of the bleechers did
its part In celebrating the victory, and
the fall of the American soldier
men.
For once the Japanese had their
batting clothes on, and in the very
first spasm they landed on Randall
for four hits which Melted a like num-
Der of runs. The lengthy twirler had
trouble in getting close enough to the
turf to field his position. and the In
considerate Japanese got away with
two smokey hunts right off the reel.
Then they began to@hit the ball on
the nose, and-well. the bell rang
four times after the third man was
retired. In the third, two more
Asahis crossed the pan. and then Ran
dali gave way TO Lawson. who got
hisn In the eighth frame, after having
worked without q hit to that time.
Three hits and four runs finished the
game In q blaze of glory for the
Jananese.
Sueda, who pitched the entire morn
Ing game for the Asahi Juniors, went
into the box for the Senior team in
the afternoon. and held the Coast
Defense batters to five hits and one
run. The hits were punched into
three innings, six frames being with
out safe bingle off this game
