Defeat OF Chinese Gives Rise To
Dispute That Rouses Local Fans

Sue was entitled to as many bases
as he could have made On overthrow
/ to the bleachers, provided the umpire
had not interfered with the play In
that case he would have had right
TO one extra base, and in this instance
the play should have been considered
as coming under the ground rules,
and En- Sue should have been allowed
tc hold second, without possibility of
teing put out until the ball had been
returned to the pitcher in his box
To make a long story short, the
Chinese finally gave in, and En- Sue
crossed the. diamond to the bench in
high Indignation.
The next two men were easy outs,
and the. soldiers went 10 bat for the
tenth. ~. -...
Soldiers Score. ...~. .... r .:...
Willis, the first man up, got a hit
to right, off Apau, who had relieved
Luck zee in the ninth. He advanced
q base on Williamson's out at first,
and then stole third. Apau tried to
catch him off the bag, threw low to
Lai Tin, and when the ball went to
the bleachers the run came across
The next two were easy infield outs.
During this half inning Patterson'0
calling of balls and strikes was the
worst ever seen on the local field,
and that's saying whole lot. The.
soldiers got everything and the Chi
nese got nothing from him.
The Chinese came to bat and Kan
Yen connected for a double to the
right field fence that just missed be-
ing a homer. Lang Akana was the
Chinese HoFe, but the best he aould
do was an easy pop to second which
was never in doubt Ayau swung
nightly, and the ball went to almost
the same spot, but this time the strain
was too great, and the second sacker
nade muff of the chance. All
Heong famed. Then, while the next
man was at bat. the Chinese took q
last desperate chance, trying a dou-
BILE steal which would allow Kan to
score while Vernon was being run
down between first and second. The
Iuse was successful as before related.
hut Patterson ruled otherwise, and
the game was gone.
There was a lot of snappy playing
on both sides that could be mentioned
If this was book instead Of a base
ball report. The pitching of Water
house, a high gent with lot of smoke
en- the ball, and a puZzling delivery,
vas good for twelve strike outs, which
is4going some against the Chinese.
Luck zee pitched a nice game, but
in the ninth Apau was substituted,
which was perhaps wise.
In the many disputes that took
place, one fact was generally over
locked. and that was that the Twenty
fifth played a fine brand of ball. and
might take a game from the Chinese
any day. IL the two teams met again
it would be an even money bet, and
not the 2 to 1 shot that supporters
OF the colored team were demanding
before the game.
Created; Hard Feeling.
The regrettable feature. of the whole
mix uD is that while the Twenty fifth |
team behaved itself we'll on the field. |
and played no dirty ball, the doings
Of the Twenty-fifth's umpire caused |
such hard feeling that it is doubtful |
whether the colored ball tossers will
get another game at Athletic Park. |
Certainly the Chinese won't take them
on again.
ION our mainland trip, in some of I
the smaller towns we were up against |
raw deals. and when the PLAYERS
couldn't beat us the umpires took a
hand so as not to have the locals
beaten by Chinese team" said Cap
tain Albert Akana after the game
However, this is the worst robbery
We have ever been up against. We
play the Twenty-fifth again
If 1hev gave US thousand dollars in
cold cash for the game"
