game that could mot be hurried up, for
the pitchers were technically within

Stanford Unsteady.
Probably owing to lack of practice,
and the effects of the long sea voy-
age, Stanford didn't show very briIli-
antly yesterday. The All-Service
team, without Robinson in the line
UP, figures to be the weakest Of the
three teams that are to face the coll
legians here, and what the soldiers
did yesterday. the Punahous or Saints
easily. Maple had very little on the
ball, and was touched for nine hits,
when hits meant runs, and extra
bases meant more runs. However,,
the Stanford twhler could hardly be
expected to pitch big league ball
after one days practice, and he will
undoubtedly show his true form in
some later engagement.
Throwing the ball away when men
we're on the paths accounted for
some of the scores but this unsteadi-
ness can also be put down to lack Of
practice, and besides, Stanford isn't
the only college team, in form or ont,
that has let runs over by awaiting
when in tight corner.
Make Pitcher Run.
Stanford set a good example in one
particular, and 1t will be a me thing
if all the teams here should follow it.
The cardinal players wouldn't stand
for a substitute runner for the pitch
er. Lawson can't run any better than
he can field, and can't field any bet
ter than he can bat, but that is no
reason why he shouldn't amble
around the bases for himself, when
he happens to get to first. Maple
used his legs for other purposes be-
sides walking circles around the box,
and very rightly stanford expected
Lawson to do the same thing. And
speaking OF Maple, he felded his po-
sition in finished style, proving HIM
self something more than strike-out
machine.
esting because there was home
team and a visiting team, the latter
having enough support to divide the
partisans and put some real rivalry
into the game. Honolulu crowds, ow-
Ing to lack of outside competition. are
too impartial, and it was a treat to
be able to really pull for one team or
the other.
Cardinals Score First.
Stanford got a run over in the first
frame, when ;'Zeb" Terry opened with
clean hit, and was sacrificed along
! by Argabrfte! Workman's double to
left, which just eluded two fielders,
brought the Stanford captain across
the pan.
4 In the fourth the army evened mat
tiers. Applinr worked Maple for a pass,
but was nipped off the bag on a
pretty throw from the pitcher, while
la Mere was going through the pain
full operation of striking out. With
these two gone, Shea hit to center,
and Dobsky laced out long fly to
right, which Beeger caught and then
dropped. With a man on third, Clark
came through with the much needed
hit, between second and first, and the
score was tied.
In the very next frame Stanford got
a two-run lead, and local hopes sank.
Cass hit and stole second. Beeger

son failed to field grounder. Bee
